Badness! Rangers lose in OT

Well, you can say we fought back to tie the game.  Twice.  There is that.  And its only 2-1 in the series.  But man that would have been a huge game to win.

Now the Lightning have a 2-1 lead and the Rangers have to win game 4 to tie the series or they will fall behind 3-1.

We can’t give up 6 goals and beat anyone.

We did score.  Goals for Brassard, 2 for Fast, McDomnagh, and Boyle.

And really – I don’t have much more to say.  Almost a legendary win – but just another playoff loss instead.

Hank’s save percentage?  Don’t ask.  0.850%

What Did We Learn?  That the Rangers can lose in overtime

Uh, a little help?:  Two Assists for Yandle and Stepan.  One each for Klein, Miller, Hayes, Kreider, Boyle and McDonagh.   

Did Special Teams Determine The Outcome Of This Game?  We were 2 for 4 on the powerplay and 1 for two on the penalty kill.

Where Do We Stand?  We trail round 3 2-1. 

Oh My - What Will Happen Next?  Friday again at Tampa.

Non-Sequitur of the day:  Goodbye to Dave Letterman.  I watched him a lot as a younger man.  Not so much these last few years.  Still it was a comfort to know he was there. I’ll miss him.
