Penguins 7 - Rangers 5
Rangers knew coming into this game that the Rangers were due for a loss. As this is the 7th game in 7 nights (only one more to go before a much needed break) and the Rangers had a record of 5 wins and 1 loss going into this one.
On the weird note, Chris Chelios recorded a hat trick against the Rangers....who would of thought....
On a positive Note Franzen is finally ready to get back into the line-up. Gilbert Brule was sent down to AHL after seeing limited ice time.
Rangers top line has been a total disaster the last few weeks. The line of Sullivan, Samsonov, Brunette, Lydman, Brewer had a brutual game. Rangers GM knew some thing had to be done....and went out trying to trade one of them....
Immediately after the game, Rangers announced Steve Sullivan and Jussi Timonen were traded to the Predators for Markus Naslund.
MacT has made informed a few players that they will play a different position in the next game....stay tuned.....
