Lundquist was amazing, but really, the win should go to the deplorable ice conditions at MSG.
For most of the game it looked like they were playing with a tennis ball and then at the crucial moments the puck stops on the line because the ice wasnt slippery.
Home ice advantage indeed.
I know stats dont always tell the whole story but being outshot 15-1 in the third really does tell the tale, the Rags were out of gas and praying that they could hold on.
Three Stars:
1. NYR: The Deplorable Ice at MSG for two Goal-Line Saves
2. NYR: Henrik Lundquist for the rest of the saves
3. LA: Drew Doughty
