Giveaways. Giveaways.

That’s the story of the first period as the Rangers gave away the puck a little too much for anyone’s taste. And the 2-0 Flyer lead, on goals by Sami Kapanen and Mike Knuble is the result. Some neat things: Colton Orr took on David Laliberte and the Flyers rookie got a 10 minutes misconduct and an instigator penalty. When will the Flyers learn?

And Henrik Lundqvist made a penalty shot save off Kapanen to the glove side.

But giveaways. If the Rangers cut that down, they should be fine.

Ok it looks like Buffalo changed things up. They are now attacking the puck on the penalty kill and making it hard for the Rangers to set up the power play. The Rangers are 0-3.

As for the Blueshirts, their kill is just as strong as before because they are taking away the passing lanes.

Now, both Marek Malik and Fedor Tyutin were hurt towards the end of the period. It’s imperative they stay in the lineup.

More later…
