Chalk this one up as a learning experience for this young New York Rangers team. They were manhandled by the reigning Stanley Cup champions and were taught a lesson about what it takes to win. The Blueshirts were dominated in every way in this game and it wasn’t pretty.
The Blues are a team without a superstar, but is a team that is so complete it is inspiring. At time if felt like they were toying with the Rangers and after an evenly played first period, it was all Blues.
The game
The game got off to a crazy start when a communication issue between Henrik Lundqvist and Brady Skjei almost resulted in a wide open point blank shot.
