Lightning 3, Rangers 2


The New York Rangers lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning by a score of 3-2 in Tampa, tonight. The Rangers are now 1-2 in the preseason.

...is it me or do the team's performances so far remind you of last year. Tons of shots and no goals. Still I love the effort as we outshot Tampa 40-18.

...last night I gave a pass to Redden for letting Isbister get around him leading to an Ottawa score, but with Ryan Craig scoring after blowing past Redden again tonight, is it time to worry that this guy's lost a step? On a positive note he did have seven more shots on goal, giving him 13 in his first two games.

...i actually thought Hugh Jessiman played a solid game tonight. Went to the net hard a few times and drew a penalty.

...the Naslund-Gomez-Zherdev line continues to click, but a goal from one of them would be nice.

...big goal for Sjostrom at the end of the game. He's been real quite and could be a candidate to lose his job to a player like Korpikoski.

...was that two power play goals from the Rangers tonight. Wow!!! Actually, to be honest I feel the power play has looked much better than last year so far.
