Flashback: Prust’s dirty jaw breaking hit on Stepan propelled Rangers

Brandon Prust may have finally delivered the knockout blow…to the Canadiens. His late and high hit on Derek Stepan left the center motionless on the ice for a few seconds. On one play, Prust wiped away any “remorse” the Rangers had for “accidentally on purpose” knocking out Carey Price.

Last night, it was clear who the best team in this series is. NY simply controlled play and dominated. The Canadiens were simply hanging on for dear life. Had it not been for 2 “lucky” goals and one slip up in coverage, the Blueshirts would be up 3-0 in the series.
