Much to my delight, the Sens came out in the third and played good hockey. While I don't like to give up goals (That was a beauty play) it kept the game close enough so as to eliminate the chance of the rough stuff I had feared. Betts scored the empty netter to give the Rangers a 5-2 win on the road.

I would have preferred to see the Rangers not play passively in the third but Renny did roll all four lines. All in all you have to be a happy Ranger fan today. Yes, even you Malik haters are smiling....c'mon admit it.

A Hearty BEER ME to all!
