How To Win Game 5

Stan Fischler answers that question at MSGNetwork.com in two parts...

In Part I he discusses the play oif Jagr, Lundqvist, Drury, Dubinsky and Shanahan. Here's a piece...

FOUND, AT LAST! THE MISSING SHANNY: Brendan, where were ye? We found out on Thursday night. Shanahan skated nineteen quality minutes, ripped off some solid shots and complimented Drury and Petr Prucha, as much as a 39-year-old can.

In Part II, Fischler says the Rangers need Lady luck and Gomez to step it up...

Five words say it all for Gomer in Game 5: SCOTTY MUST PLAY HIS BEST! Pretty good -- which describes his effort at The Garden -- simply is not enough. Skating with Ryan Callahan and Nigel Dawes, Gomez waltzed through a quiet 21-plus minutes on Thursday. He can do better than that!

...while Gomez did come up with a big goal at the time in Game 1 of this series, he has been a non-factor since. The Penguins have been clogging the neutral zone taking away Gomez' strength. He needs to find a way to break the Penguins trap soon or we'll be going home.
