12 goals?!

By Brian Monzo on September 27, 2008, 5:32PM

That’s it.  12 goals!? Maybe I am overreacting but……

It’s tough to get wrapped up in the preseason.   However, scoring 12 goals in six games is something that may be a little alarming.  I know, the team is still meshing and working on chemistry, but a lack of scoring is something that is always a concerning.

The Rangers ended their North American tour today with a 4-2 loss to NJ at the Garden.  Top liners Markus Naslund and Nikolai Zherdev both netted goals in the effort. 

Henrik Lundqvist was not as his best, allowing 4 goals on 12 shots.  No, I am worried about Henrik.  Backup Steve Valiquette was a perfect 11 for 11.

The Blueshirts now head to Europe for two more preseason battles with SC Bern and Metallurg Magnitogorsk.  No idea what the over/under for those games are.
