Oh Henrik

Oh my. Tonight's peformance by Henrik Lundqvist was a hard one to take. One of the top goalies in the NHL since Christmas, Lundqvist was on his way to recording his 22nd win of the season after 2 periods, but two sloppy plays turned a 3-1 lead into a 3-3 tie will all the momentum on the Wings side.

With the game 3-1, Lundqvist went behind his own net to clear the puck, but his attempt hit a Red Wing player and bounced out front to Jiri Hudler, who took a couple of swings at it before scoring in the empty net. 3-2

Later on in the third, Daniel Cleary was along the board near the top of the circle, when he threw a harmless (I mean harmless. think of thoose promotions between periods where a lucky fan tries to score from center ice) at the net. Lundqvist made the save but left the rebound on the edge of the crease for Robert Lang to finish off. 3-3

After 2 easy goals the Rangers had seen their lead vanish, along with their momentum. It wasn't too much later until the Rangers found themselves a goal behind after a powerplay mark.

This is a tough game for the Ranger's to take as they had a two goal cushion disappear after to lazy plays. Lundqvist will remember this game for a while, but it is all apart of the learning curve.
