Ryan Kennedy at The Hockey News reports..."But for a total of 35 seconds of clock time, the New York Rangers played a perfect road match against the Pens in Game 1.
Ah, but in those 35 seconds – a 14-second span in the second period and a 20-second spurt in the third – the Blueshirts gave up back-to-back goals twice, ultimately leading to their 5-4 demise...
...Had it not been for a couple momentary lapses in judgement, the complexion of this series after one game would be very different. But of course, those lapses happened and if the Rangers don't tighten up in Game 2, there will be a lot of mistakes and regrets haunting New York in a week."
...now I'm not a mathematician. But doesn't 14 + 20 = 34?
...despite his poor math Kennedy is right. Which is another reason the Rangers or us fans shouldn't be hanging our heads today.

I agree in 34 seconds this game turned bad. However, Rangers PP goal was deflected off a Penguins player, and Drury's goal could also have been reversed with a better camera angle. While Avery's goal was soft. Just playing Devils advocate. I think the layoff definetly hurt us a bit, and a much better team effort needs to be made both on offense and defense.
The one person I am going to call out is Shanahan. Was he even playing last night. I dont remember hearing his name called, seeing a shot on goal or him taking the body. He has the most rings, playoff experience and is the vocal leader on this team. He needs to step it up, because last night he was invisible
