Ottawa Takes 3-2 Series Lead On Kyle Turris Overtime Goal<em></em>
Jimmy Vesey’s heroics did not hold up as Ottawa tied up the Rangers with 90 seconds remaining in regulation and then scored 6:28 into overtime as Kyle Turris scored his third career playoff OT goal to give the Senators a 5-4 win and a 3-2 series lead....
Rangers Go Ahead On Wild Shot Initially Not Ruled A Goal
The Rangers took a 4-3 third-period lead over the Senators in dramatic fashion, with a Jimmy Vesey goal very nearly robbed by Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson.

The Rangers Are Too Much And Too Fast For The "Kanata Wall"
The Senators are not a fast team, or at least that’s not how they want to play. They are a team designed to win close, low-scoring games, and they’ve generally done so with an effective defense designed by coach Guy Boucher to funnel everything to the sides of the ice. But the Rangers are barging st...
In Praise Of A Perfect Helper
The Rangers’s 4-1 pummeling of the Senators in Game 3 was maybe the most expected thing in the world. New York is almost certainly the better team to begin with in this series, and has played like the better team for long stretches of it. Here’s a stat: Still down 2-1 after last night’s win, the Ran...
Alexander Radulov Is Older, Wiser, And As Good As Ever
When Alexander Radulov got going, so did the Canadiens. Montreal’s 2-1 series lead over the Rangers has been driven by the 30-year-old winger’s five points in the last two games, including this absurd one-handed beauty to seal Game 3:...
Neither MSG Security Nor A Hockey Game Can Stop Pro-Charles Oakley Chants<em></em>
It’s been a full day since Charles Oakley got tossed out of Madison Square Garden and arrested following a fight with MSG staffers. Tonight, the building was back in use for an NHL game.

Henrik Lundqvist Got His Mask Knocked Off By This Bone-Rattling Hit
Henrik Lundqvist got the Lund Qvisted right out of him by Cody Eakin in the first period of the Rangers’ game against the Stars tonight, losing his mask in the process. Eakin received a ten-minute penalty for his trouble, and Lundqvist was examined by a team doctor....
When Do The Rangers Start Worrying About Henrik Lundqvist?
Henrik Lundqvist has been one of the best and most consistent goaltenders in the NHL, and on the rare occasions where he’s gone into little slumps while the likes of Steve Valiquette or Marty Biron have gone on tears, it’s been an occasion for fans to performatively throw themselves behind the new g...

Holy Shit, Dan Boyle Really Hates Larry Brooks

The Penguins Have A Random Dude In Goal And The Rangers Might Be Doomed Anyway
Even if he never plays again, there may not be a better feel-good story in these playoffs than Jeff Zatkoff, a third-string goalie thrust into action by injury, who responded with a confident, capable start that, backed by a Patric Hornqvist hat trick, gave the Penguins about as strong a 1-0 series ...
Henrik Lundqvist Flips Shit, Flips Net
Goalie mad? Goalie mad. Goalie smash!...
