Rangers Overreacted

John Dellapina at Blue Notes says...

"The Rangers overreacted today. I wonder how many of you will do the same.

After a Game 1 that was decided by one goal that was set up by a controversial penalty call, the Rangers completely withdrew into a defensive-minded shell. While that didn’t succeed in completely shutting down the Pittsburgh offense, it pretty well succeeded in precluding any Rangers offense."

...while defensive adjustments needed to be made, I agree with Dellapina that Renney and the coaching staff might have overreacted.

...after a shaky Game 1 we needed to get pucks at Fluery. Instead we paid too much attention to our defense and forgot that we need to score to win. Like I mentioned in my post game comments, Renney needs to reunite the three lines that catapulted this team into the playoffs.

...and get Tyutin off the point on the power play please.
