Rangers’ win streak ends at three after comeback falls short against Flames
NY Post
CALGARY, Alberta — The Rangers needed just 16 seconds to get back into a game they had no business being in over halfway through.
That was all their efforts were good for, however, as the Flames came out on top in the third period to hand the Rangers a 3-2 loss and end their three-game win streak Thursday night at Scotiabank Saddledome.
The jackhammer that was the Flames’ offense, which was especially potent in the first period and gave the home team the undisputed upper hand, ultimately prevailed.
“We got outworked,” head coach Peter Laviolette said bluntly through pursed lips, referencing the first period in particular.
A few minutes before the halfway point of the game, the Flames had reached more than 30 shots on goal before the Rangers even made it to double digits.
The scoreboard reflected as much, with Calgary leading 2-0 at that point on goals from Matt Coronato and Yegor Sharangovich.
The Greatest Escape in franchise history was perpetrated by Glen Sather, when the general manager extricated himself and the Rangers from the final five years of Scott Gomez’s contract by moving the $7,357,143-per-year center to Montreal on June 30, 2009 after two years in New York.
The Yankees publicly are on the same page: Hal Steinbrenner, like Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone before him, said that issues with the club’s fundamentals did not hover over the team all season.
The first day of the rest of Daniel Jones’ dwindling time with the Giants arrived Wednesday, with Jones in the building, in the meetings, on the practice field (although not doing very much) and not at all part of the game plan for the next game, relegated to a non-participant role for the remainder of the season.
