David Quinn gushes about the play of Brendan Lemieux

What a difference a day makes. When he stood in front of the assembled media after Friday’s listless and disappointing 4-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators Friday, Rangers coach David Quinn was positively seething. He made it clear that he was “unhappy with everybody.’’

Saturday night, after his team had rallied from a four-goal deficit to beat the Montreal Canadiens, 6-5, in the Bell Centre, the second-year coach was feeling just the opposite.

“I couldn’t be prouder of these guys, the way we competed, from the drop of the puck to the horn blowing at the end, after 60 minutes,’’ Quinn said.
