Game 3 Headlines

Here are today's headlines...

Steve Zipay at Newsday talks about the sniping between the Rangers and Penguins..."Therrien had said he was "disappointed" in Rangers coach Tom Renney and players for raising the issue of alleged embellishment by Sidney Crosby to draw penalties and declared "enough is enough." Yesterday he brought another element into the fray: crease-crashing."

Lynn Zinser at the New York Times has a feature on Chris Drury and winning..."But Drury just kept winning. He chased his first sports love, hockey, and won a national championship at Boston University as a freshman and captured the Hobey Baker award as college hockey’s best player in 1998, when he was a senior. The next year, his first with the Colorado Avalanche, he was named the N.H.L.’s rookie of the year...He won a Stanley Cup with Colorado in 2001. Now, he plays under the brightest lights, as a center for the Rangers."

John Dellapina at the Daily News says the Rangers are happy to be home..."The Rangers are confident that their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Penguins is about to turn around for the simple reason that the Broadway Blueshirts are coming home Tuesday."

Also at the Daily News, Kristie Ackert says the Penguins are ready for Avery's antics..."The Penguins expect that Avery and the Rangers will do anything and everything they can to get back into the series."

Jay Greenberg at the New York Post feels the Rangers must move the puck to win..."The Rangers' power play doesn't necessarily have to score, Renney said, but it does need to generate enough energy and confidence to carry over five-on-five."
