Rangers Finally Win

The Rangers got two first period power play goals, from MZA and Oscar, then up a goal in the first two minutes of the second period, then got another one from Kreider about a minute later, and one from Brassard a bit later, to make if 4-1.  Then they almost gave it all back.   Rask scored late in the second to make it 4-2,  and Terry scored on a breakaway in the third to make it 4-3.  Nash couldn't convert his breakaway in the third and the Rangers started getting trapped in their own end again.   They won't be able to win like this against good teams, or goodish teams as we've seen.   What's more, Klein got hurt and didn't return.

So, though the win was much needed, they still showed many of the weaknesses they've been showing all year.  Kreider scoring was, as always a good sign, and if he can get going, that will be huge.   Meanwhile, if Klein is going to be out, Skjei should be up and playing.   In fact, McIlrath shoul also be playing.   I bet they won't funble around in their own end as much as the rest of them have.
