Flyers Taken Care Of
For the past week or so Blueshirts fans been hearing how bad the Rangers would be this season, but for one night at least the Rangers had the last laugh. As promised, Jaromir Jagr took hold of the game in the third period with back-to-back power play goals, capitalizing on the defense provided by Kevin Weekes and a much-improved penalty kill unit that kept the home team to just one goal in ten opportunities, including killing off two out of the three 5 on 3 power plays awarded to the Flyers.
It was the type of night that Rangers fans have been looking for from their team for years, a team that came out on the ice prepared, fought through adversity, and outworked their opponents as they put together four unanswered goals on their way to a 5-3 victory.
