First Period-Undisciplined

Trying something new here with a period by period post. First period is an unmitigated disaster. Two bad penalties by Rozsival, the second in the offensive zone on a Ranger PP, led to two Montreal goals. He should have sat the rest of the period. Another coach would have benched him. The second goal showed more undiscipline play as Gomez gave away the puck and both Strudwick and Staal went out of position to cover guys who didn't have to be covered. That left Kovalev all alone to Lundqvist's left and he buried it. Rangers are showing absolutely nothing with four shots and they are 0-2 on the power play. The top line looks particularly anemic, maybe some tonic from coach clueless will perk them up. See you later.
