Another wild ride turned into a victory by the New York Rangers. Erupting with four goals in the 3rd period to win the game, against the Penguins of all people, is truly a remarkable feat. The Rangers never gave up, and never quit through all three periods of play, and that is why they came out on top. The end of the 1st was rough, but the Rangers never let the adversity get to them. Especially when the tying goal by the Penguins was waved off due to incidental contact. My jaw literally dropped when I heard that call. A call like that against the Penguins, let alone Sidney Crosby, is absolutely unheard of in the NHL. I guess the Penguins aren't as pampered by the referees as we thought they were.
Unfortunately, in celebration, there is a sad note. Ryan Callahan left the game in the 1st period with a broken hand. It is unsure how long it will take for Callahan to return to the lineup, but undoubtedly, the Rangers have lost a key player in their success. Callahan is the one of the most well rounded players on the team, and to lose him with a bad injury like the one he has is truly unfortunate for the Rangers.
