Rangers Win 4-2

The Garden was electric tonight as the Rangers began their playoffs with home ice advantage for the first time since 1996. Their Captain Ryan Callahan set the tone by flying around hitting everything that moved and scoring the game's first goal. The Sens answered with a lot of pressure, but the Rangers took their best punch and then scored 3 straight goals, Gaborik, Boyle and Richards to make it 4-0 and put it away by the end of the second period. The Sens scored 2 late goals, then, astoundingly took a timeout down 2 with :15 seconds left in the game. It benefitted them not at all, and the Rangers won and won pretty convincingly. They still have a lot to work on, but it was a great start. Hank was fantastic for the first two periods, preventing Ottawa from answering till late. Everyone can be better, but the Rangers can also sweep this if they are. Go Rangers!
