The objective Wednesday night was simple and the only option the Rangers had: win one game. Staring down a 3-0 deficit, something of a death sentence in the Stanley Cup Final, the Rangers played 60 minutes of hockey against the Kings, and held an edge on the scoreboard. Game 5 is slated for Friday night in Los Angeles, so for now, there is still more hockey to be played.
That Henrik Lundqvist guy. The one who was either underperforming through the Stanley Cup games, or the victim of bad luck and bounces; he put on a solid performance Wednesday night, leading the Rangers to their first Stanley Cup victory in two decades.
As has been the case for most of this postseason run, it’s tough to put into words how good and how instrumental Henrik Lund
qvist was Wednesday night.
Once again, the Rangers proved that with their backs against the wall, they play their best hockey.
In a postseason of clutch moments, Martin St. Louis delivered again during Game 4.
