The Devils winning streak ended tonight at 9 games, as they lost to my New York Rangers.
The Rangers rookies were again impressive tonight. Henrik Lundqvist picked up his 20th win on the season (20-6-5, 2.14gaa, .927%), Petr Prucha scored his 24th goal of the season (18 in the last 22 games), Dominic Moore was the best forward all night long, was amazing on the PK and scored his 8th of the season into the empty net, and Fedor Tyutin was again sensational on the blueline.
Michael Nylander, Jaromir Jagr, and Martin Straka all played really well tonight and i've been very, very impressed with all 3 of their work ethics all year long, all have been playing sound two-way hockey, yes, even Jagr lol.
And Darius Kasparaitis was given a 5 minute major & a game misconduct for an elbow on Grant Marshall. Marshall left the game with what looked like a concussion. I thought it was a very dirty hit, a direct headshot regardless of whether the elbowing actually made contact or not, and even though the NHL has already said they won't suspend Kasper, i personally think he should have been given a game or two.
One more note...man did Jensen ever give Ryan Hollweg a beating tonight!
