Here are today's headlines...Steve Zipay at Newsday says the Rangers had all the momentum in the world after tying the game at three until..."...the Penguins took advantage of Hollweg's penalty and retook the lead."
Lynn Zinser at the New York Times talks about the penalty killers during Hollweg's penalty..."For nearly two minutes near the end of the second period Tuesday night, four Rangers were stuck on the ice, all spent, desperately trying to kill a penalty. They battled, swiped at passes and shots, but the longer the Pittsburgh power play lasted, the heavier their legs became. They were trying to stave off the inevitable, trying to rescue the fantastic comeback the Rangers had fashioned earlier that period...And one slap shot by Evgeni Malkin undid it all."
John Dellapina at the Daily News has this to say after Lundqvist noted that you can't win when you give up five goals..."Or when one of your energy-generating players sucks all the life out of the team - perhaps the season - by committing a devastating and completely pointless penalty."
Filip Bondy at the Daily News talks about Jagr's effort last night..."You can't play much better than Jaromir Jagr, who was all over the ice Tuesday night, dug for every puck like a diamond miner, scored a goal and assisted on another. You can only win, which is not an easy thing to do against these Penguins."
Larry Brooks at the New York Post says the Rangers played their best game of the series last night..."The Rangers are going to have to be more than special in order to extend the series with a victory tomorrow night, let alone win four straight. They played their best hockey of the series in this one and still came up short against a strong Pittsburgh team that capitalized on nearly every opportunity while being outshot 39-17."
