Rangers Eliminate the Pens

Carl Hagelin just put an end to ugly, ugly first round series.    Thank you, Carl.  I could not have watched much more of their illegal defense and them running into Hank.    Second straight overtime game winner from one of our college kids.   Crazy game, I hadn't seen the trap in a while.   Unfortunately, MZA got hit in the head by a McDonagh shot in the first and could not return.  That's a little scary, and the Rangers were one forward short for the final two periods and the OT.  Stepan's power play goal was the only thing the Rangers got done in the first.   Miller and Fast both had big games, as did the defense and Hank.   The one Pittsburgh goal was off and arm.  Of course if the Rangers would have scored that way, Toronto would have disallowed it.  So the Rangers were up against a little extra in this one and they did well to get it over with in 5.

Let's hope MZA bounces back, and that the Isles/Caps series goes 7.   Let's Go, Rangers!
