Igor, once again, covers up the rotten and incohesive play in the Rangers end of the ice. The first goal started with a problem - the 4th line was out there minus Rempe due to his fight - Cuylle instead. Carrick anticipated Edstrom winning a puck battle by the side boards and headed up the ice past ovechkin at the blueline - edstrom loses the puck battle and Ovechkin is headed towards Igor with nobody near him. That set the tone and the Rangers really played the Keystone Kops in there own end for the rest of the game. This is the same old stuff we have been watching the last few years against the better teams.
