Here are just a couple of things I took away from this game:
- While Tuukka Rask did take home his second straight loss on the season, it's hard to fault him for the goals he allowed. The first Ranger goal came off of a borderline-illegal high stick, while Rask looked like he had the second goal all sized up before Mark Stuart deflected it with his glove. Rask then got beaten by a good backhander by Marc Staal, a save one could argue Rask should have made. However, he was solid in the third period, and made a couple of great stops. While he didn't do anything to win the game for the B's, as one could argue Tim Thomas did in one (if not both) of the games against Washington, he certainly didn't lose this one for the B's tonight. He's gotten subpar efforts from the team playing in front of him in both starts, something that must have the youngster feeling a bit frustrated.
- Tough performance from Johnny Boychuk, who will be out for a month with a slight fracture in his arm sustained in a slash from Brandon Dubinsky. Boychuk left the game after the slash, got tape put on his arm and then came back out to finish the period...with the broken bone in his arm. Tough performance from a tough guy.
- Strawberries were the biggest seller at work Saturday night. Great deal at 2 for $5.
That's about all I can offer on this game. From the looks of things, it wasn't a bad one to miss, as the B's seemed to bring a B-grade effort at the start.
