Goal breakdown ECF Game 3

The Rangers were able to gut out a 3-0 win today against the New Jersey Devils to take a 2-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Final.  The Blueshirts won despite 40 minutes of sub-par play, due to the absolute brilliance of Henrik Lundqvist, who finished with 36 saves.  In a weird way, this game almost mirrored Game 1 in every way.  A less than spectacular performance through...

Principle Point of Contact Was Girardi's Head

I've seen all the Alex Ovechkin apologists today say that the principle point of contact for the hit on Dan Girardi last night was his shoulder. Well not according to this picture...Unless Girardi's shoulder is in his ear, this seems like a pretty clear cut head shot to me.So why hasn't Ovechkin heard from the league yet today?H/T to reader @Dgimbz.Remember to follow...

Mike Milbury Considers Alex Ovechkin's Hit on Dan Girardi 'Unacceptable' (Video)

Among those who find Ovechkin's hit "unacceptable" is Mike Milbury. Milbury has never been one to pull any punches...

Dan Girardi Can’t Keep Playing 30 Minutes

Dan Girardi is playing 30 minutes a game, or close to it. Simply put, that cannot continue. We say it twice last night, and a few additional times last week, where Girardi would get a minor injury, miss a shift or two, and then come back. During those two shifts when he wasn’t out, many fans would hold their collective breaths, hoping and praying that Girardi wasn’t seriously...
