WHOA!!!!!!! The New York Rangers blew it big time when they visited the Montreal Canadiens last night. This was a crazy game! MAJOR kudos to the Habs for coming back from a 5-0 deficit to win the game. They are the 9th team in NHL history to do so (the first time for the Canadiens, though) and it is the first time the Rangers have lost after having a 5 goal lead. I mean, come on!!! How the hell did that happen??? Here’s how, lol:
Michael Ryder and Alexei Kovalev each scored twice and Montreal rallied from five goals down to beat the New York Rangers 6-5 in a shootout Tuesday night.
Saku Koivu beat Henrik Lundqvist with a forehand deke on the Canadiens’ second shootout attempt and Cristobal Huet stopped Brendan Shanahan, Chris Drury and Jaromir Jagr to the delight of the sold-out Bell Centre crowd of 21,273.
“I don’t think a lot of people expected it,” said Ryder, who scored the first two of four straight even-strength goals by Montreal as the Canadiens pulled within one.
