The New York Rangers didn’t bomb on this test, but they still failed.
Facing a Boston Bruins team that played the night before, the Rangers had a coverage lapse less than two minutes in which had them chasing the rest of the game.
“I thought we played a good game for 55 out of the 60,” Gerard Gallant lamented. “Then we played real bad and gave up goals that shouldn’t happen… Again, we give up those easy goals and you can’t do that. And they’re not goaltending easy goals, they’re defensive zone and odd man rushes.
