Game 2 Headlines

Here are today's newspaper headlines...

Lynn ZInser at the New York Times reports that the second period has been a trouble spot for the Rangers..."The statistics bear out the trend. In the regular season, the Rangers scored fewer goals in the second period than in any other, and they gave up more goals than in any other period. They also shot less and allowed more shots."

At the Daily News, John Dellpina talks about the Rangers needing to step up their defensive efforts..."...the Rangers are counting on making a profound turn back toward the defensively responsible game they played for the last three months."

Both Dellapina here and Larry Brooks at the New York Post here report on Michel Therrien's emotional and unsolicited defense of Sidney Crosby and attack on Tom Renney for even daring to suggest by implication that Crosby dives.
