It took seven games, and then an overtime period, and most of a second overtime, but today the Rangers finally got a win against the Sabres, 2-1! After having two goals disallowed during regulation in Game 3 - one that should've been, and one that should've counted - and blowing yet another one-goal lead, it didn't look good for the boys in blue to avoid going down 3-0. But a seeing eye goal by the battered Michal Rozsival late in OT # 2 guaranteed that all of the second round series will go at least five games, and that the Rangers will finish this playoff year with a winning record (worst case: 5-4)!
While I'm expecting the Sabres to bounce back in Game 4, I do like the trend that's developed in both teams' scoring so far in this series. The Sabres keep tallying fewer each game - 5, then 3, and now 1 - while the Rangers have been the model of consistency, with 2 goals in each. Maybe the next game will see the Sabres shut out, along with scoring one into their own net? (-1, you see) Nah, I didn't think so, either.. but it's fun to dream.
Anyway, I got the win at MSG that I was hoping for, so I'm a happy boy.
