Bruins-Rangers game recap
That’s right, you heard me…a game recap. Now that the Bruins are playing a team local to me, I get to actually WATCH a game. I’m sitting here, at 4 AM Sunday morning watching the game on my TiVo because I was out during the day with the family. So just a few notes from the game:
- Holy smokes, are Willie O’Ree and Scatman Crothers long lost brothers?
- What a disappointing 1st period. Disorganized, shoddy play. If ex-Bruin Paul Mara hadn’t scored that goal for them, they’d have easily been scoreless at the end of the period. Even more entertaining is that Mara did that twice more this game, he’d have equaled his career goal total while playing FOR the Bruins…
- How many times is Wideman going to be made a fool of this game?
- Apparently, this is some sort of “Father’s Day” for the Rangers and we get to hear interviews with the father of nearly every player on the Rangers roster. Why? Is it June already? With Willie O’Ree’s anniversary Friday and Martin Luther King’s birthday on Monday, I’m detecting some…sort…of THEME that the Rangers should be capitalizing on here…
- Nice Kobasew goal from his knees near the end of the 2nd. Well deserved considering that the Bruins started the 2nd period on fire but were unable to capitalize.
- What a drive by Sturm towards the net with the follow through by Kobasew to tie the game at three. It almost makes me forget the turnover by Chara earlier that led to the Rangers’ 2nd goal. Almost.
- I had to ask that Wideman question earlier didn’t I? That’s TWICE he’s fanned on critical shot attempts on the power play! This time in front of the net with 1:20 left in OT!
- Wow! What an ending to OT! It’s a shame that they couldn’t take advantage of the full 2 minute power play that resulted from a Jagr penalty at the 3:00 mark.
- And a Chara slapshot to win the shootout. Okay, NOW I’ve forgotten about his earlier turnover.
