But at least tonight my New York Rangers weren't horribly outplayed like they had been in Game 1. In fact, had they been just a little more successful at clearing their own zone when the Sabres had the pressure on - a Ranger would actually get possession of the puck, and then be unable to get it out! - they could actually have earned the split in Buffalo. They had 1-0 and 2-1 leads, but each was short-lived, with the first one existing for less than a minute!
In the end, the better team prevailed 3-2 and now the Rangers are down 2-0 in the series, heading home. It'd be nice if they won a game at MSG in this series, but whatever. They may've used up everything they had tonight, and still came away empty-handed. I can't imagine they'll be able to play any better against a team like the Sabres (who've now beaten them six straight times since the season started!)
The really sad part is: I was splitting my attention between two Rangers games tonight: NYR vs Buf, and the Texas/Toronto baseball game. Had both Rangers won, or both lost, I would've at least had something to cheer about! But instead the good Rangers lost and the bad Rangers won. Sigh.
