Game 2 - Second Period Thoughts

It was only a matter of time before either team got a goal. Unfortunately it was the Pens. There was nothing Henrik could do there. It was a great pass and great stick handling and shot by Staal to score. The Pens took advantage of their powerplay, something the Rangers have not been able to do. The Rangers have had their chances they just can’t put one in. They have to keep on pressuring the net and playing solid defensive hockey. Its only one goal and the pace is in the Rangers favor. As long as Henrik continues to be a brick wall then the Rangers have a chance. If the Rangers don’t score first in this period the Rangers could be in trouble. Scoring early and first is key so we can get this game on an even playing field and not let the Pens get any momentum.
