Good evening folks. Long time, no blog.

I figured that for this post, I would link to a blog I wrote on Kukla’s Korner today:

With the New York Rangers getting ready to travel to Western Canada this week, it’ll be nice for them to do so on a positive note as the team came up with a 1-0 shutout victory over the Boston Bruins yesterday afternoon at Madison Square Garden.

Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist ruled the afternoon as he made 29 stops, many of them critical in the third period as many of them were in terrific fashion. Without Henrik between the pipes, this could have been a much better outcome.

The game also marked the return of Marian Gaborik, who admitted that he was less than 100 percent but wanted to be on the ice to help out his team. He did just that by scoring the games’ only goal and also by generating several quality scoring chances. When this guy is healthy, he’s one of the best, folks.
