Game Notes
After the game Rangers Coach made a quick comment that Steve Ott has been cleared to play. However there was no commitment on which game he would play.
Close win over the Blue Jackets. We got a huge effort from Kipper to win this one basically. Maybe we can get a PP chance in game 2 and make it less of a nail-biter!
Whew. Habs win a close one. Philly had a goal disallowed, which was the difference in the score. Our first line was our best line for the first time in these playoffs. Rinne was good again.
Not a good enough effort from the Jackets. A better effort is expected tomorrow and we hope the trend we saw last round will continue and we can win 4 straight after a loss. Look for some line shuffling for tomorrow.
