- Devils 3 Rangers 2 (shootout): Lundqvist saved it, but he couldn’t control it and that made all the difference.
The Rangers played a great hockey game and bombarded Martin Broduer with 30 shots, but could not find the difference maker so they headed to overtime.
There, despite an atrocious penalty call against Jaromir Jagr, they battled New Jersey throughout the period and managed to earn a shootout.
It was then that things got strange. Jagr didn’t want any part of the shootout and sat through the first four rounds. How the captain could remain bolted to the bench in a critical situation is hard to explain, so Tom Renney should be on alert for some uncomfortable questions.
But, the team shook it off and Michael Nylander’s goal put the Rangers in a tie in the shootout. However, New Jersey managed to find a goal off of a Jamie Langbrunner’s slapper that Lundqvist saved, but could not prevent from falling into the net.

Thank goodness that for a team fighting for every point they have a captain that can tell the coach he does not want to be one of the top 3 shooters in the shootout and can sit there and watch as the team he leads has to try and beat Brodeur.
Thanks Jagr - pack it in like you did before. Even if he missed the spark and leadership would help the team members.....
And no mention of the Islanders come-from-behind Shootout Victory last night over Toronto?
Last I checked, they're in 8th place, while the Rangers are behind them in 10th!

Your right, my bad. I think I was in a blind rage watching Jagr stay on the bench.
"The Rangers played a great hockey game and bombarded Martin Broduer with 30 shots, but could not find the difference maker so they headed to overtime."
Gee, you also could've said:
"The Rangers blew a 2 goal lead..."
