The only good thing the New York Rangers can say about being embarrassed 10-2 by the Boston Bruins on Saturday was that it was only one game.
The Blueshirts played a couple of clunkers in the first three months of the season (a 4-1 no-show home loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Nov. 29 comes to mind). But this time they didn’t have Igor Shesterkin in goal to keep the score at least representative, as he did against the Bolts six weeks earlier.
This time, the goaltenders (Jonathan Quick and Spencer Martin) were middling – and often left to fend for themselves.
