The New York Rangers weren't able to build on their Game 4 effort, and were shutout 2-0 by the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight.
Well, that certainly didn't goes as planned.
But at the same time, it went perfectly according to plan. The New York Rangers never seem to make it easy on themselves when they have an opportunity to take control of a series. We saw it all throughout the Washington series, and now we're seeing it on repeat against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Maybe not to the same degree, but the result is almost certainly the same.
