It was an incredibly entertaining contest and you could see it from the 'get-go' that the Rangers wanted it - even during their struggles - more than detroit did. It was a well-matched game, with the exception of how the Red Wings slowed their game down on our frenetic stretch to tie-it-up in the last 6 minutes. Prospal was unnecessarily pushing himself out of position, you could see it in his eyes how much he wanted to be the catalyst that would spark-the-team-into-winning, but to no avail. Gaborik appeared lazy and even in some defensive situations, Gabs merely did what was required of him, rather than giving beyond. (it must be awfully difficult to coach someone like Gaborik). But just as they had played as well the last three losses, whether or not they are quality shots the odds say more will go in -- the law of averages say that so I see no reason to stop doing what they are doing. Maybe it is still the adjustment period melding the once-injured vets back into the system, but I'm not sure there is anything to be done but keep moving forward at this point.The Dark Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394949785830752700noreply@blogger.com
