So, There Was A Game Last Night

I got home from work in time to catch the final two minutes of the game. What a shot by Naslund to tie the game, after some great work along the boards by the Rangers. They stole a point from that game, one that they should have lost outright. I’m also with Rick Carpiniello, that I believe the shootout is a terrible way to end a game. Play 4-on-4 for 10 minutes, then some 3-on-3 for another 10 minutes. If no one scores a goal, then abolish both teams to the AHL.

As for the ceremony (I DVRed it and watched it after the game), it was a great ceremony that I think captured Gravy’s personality and what he meant to this team and what he means to the city. I haven’t heard Sergei Nemchinov’s name in a long time, so I was happy to see him there, and Mike Gartner.
