Ranges vs Flyers - First Period Thoughts

Rangers 1 - Flyers 0

I still don't get it. The Rangers powerplay is so miserable it's just hard to watch. Yea, they got some decent shots off during the two powerplays of the first period but they still just can't score. That leaves the Rangers now 1 for their last 28 on powerplays. That is a horrible number for the talent that is on this team and the overall play over the last month. We are lucky we can score plenty of even strength goals.

Now that I got that out I can focus on the all the good things so far in this game. Jagr scored a great goal and it was nice to have it come early in the game. Got the crowd into it early on and swung the momentum quickly. You really couldn't ask for a better start. The Rangers as a whole are playing with a lot of energy and playing well on all aspects of the game. We got 11 shots, the defense played well and Henrik did his part. As long as this play continues we should win this game. We just have to get something going on the powerplay so we can really put this game away.

Little update of the Pens and Devils: 1-0 Pens with 5 mins left in the 2nd
