GamingTranscript
00:00Welcome to Midtown Manhattan, the home of the New York Rangers, where the blue shirts
00:20won a Stanley Cup in 94 after their captain guaranteed it.
00:25Two teams looking starved for a win, and we are set to go.
00:32The Bears have won the draw, and we are now underway.
00:38And now we angles it across to Baskin.
00:41Angles underline the blue line.
00:46Great save by the goaltender who was in the right place at the right time.
00:50A timely save is everything to your team, and this goaltender, he bails this team out.
00:57Gets the club out of it to make the save.
01:00And will get the whistle after the goaltender hangs on.
01:03Bogdan's been struggling to put up some numbers, and it can be frustrating to head into a pointless street, and it can continue.
01:10When that happens, you start to get down on yourself.
01:12It can really affect your confidence.
01:14You gotta focus on the little things, and try and keep good habits.
01:17The Bears gain possession along the wall.
01:21New York's got the puck inside the defensive zone.
01:27Shesterkin's got the puck, and he's gonna hang on.
01:39Lots of time left in this period.
01:41Still looking for our first goal.
01:45The puck is dropped, and he wins the draw here in the defensive zone.
01:49Looking to get it out.
01:51St. Petersburg's got a hold of it against the wall.
01:54New York's got control of it now from the right end.
01:57Here's the chance!
01:58Oh, look!
01:59Oh, it's a nice another play!
02:02And this is a great play by the tender to anticipate and get across to make that save.
02:08L's last save shows his incredible agility and his ability to move freely within his crease.
02:13I mean, he's got the power push, he's got the positioning to be able to make that save.
02:24New York's got the puck inside the offensive zone.
02:34Dishes it off!
02:36Tucker's got the puck in his own zone.
02:39And offside, we'll get a reset here.
02:42New York's won the faceoff at center.
02:57Feeds it over!
02:59Denied by the goaltender.
03:01Alex is showing a great reset mindset here, and that's really important coming off of a puller.
03:05You have to know how to refocus, put it behind you, and he makes a nice save right there.
03:13To the front!
03:14Slides it across!
03:16Blocked in traffic!
03:19And that's not the way!
03:23Watch out!
03:24Sets it out front!
03:25And that's stopped!
03:27Ground along the board by Tucker.
03:29Denies it again!
03:31New York's got the puck along the boards!
03:35He fires it!
03:36Oh!
03:37How did he get a glove on that?
03:38What a stop by Ellis!
03:40Whether you're a player or a goaltender, so much of the training is about reaction,
03:44and you can certainly tell that it has come in handy for him,
03:47because he makes an incredible save just by sin-stinks alone.
03:51The Rangers take it!
03:53He's got it!
03:54Sets it!
03:55There's his worst of the season!
03:57Oh, that one's gonna feel good, James!
03:59I mean, the pressure is off!
04:01The monkey is off from the back!
04:02You guys can just be creative and go play three!
04:06The Rory Ports just work all the time with one screen or one player in front, James,
04:11and he's gonna do a good job of finding this puck.
04:13I mean, it just beats him clean.
04:29The Rangers have to be feeling good about themselves.
04:35They have been pushing and pushing to start this one.
04:38James are emotionally charged as they're at home, they're playing their opponent,
04:42and they start it right from puck drop, and that emotion was transferred and channeled into their feet,
04:46because they've been all over the ice with their legs under them.
04:49And he takes the feed!
04:51And now he moves it quickly to Smith!
04:54Takes their pass back to the point!
04:57And that's a smart heads-up play by Portland!
05:01The Rangers move the puck in the defensive zone!
05:05Takes a shot!
05:07And there's the save!
05:09It really is amazing to watch him maintain possession of this puck while his opponent is on him!
05:14I mean, they're pushing him, they're shocking, they're doing everything they can!
05:17But he's resilient, he's got a willingness to his game, but he's also got power!
05:21Power! You can see it in his lower half and the balance and coordination it takes to get this puck to the net!
05:27Steps across the line and on the attack down the right side!
05:31St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall!
05:34Loses his balance on the play!
05:36Slides the puck across to Barron!
05:39The Rangers have a horn within the defensive zone!
05:43And that's not great right here!
05:45As a former defender, I know this play is not easy, because you're sick, you have to know exactly how long it is,
05:50and you have to kind of surprise your opponent when you outreach it to try and disrupt the play!
05:55Shuts him down!
05:57Ellis makes an incredible athletic save!
05:59I mean, he's at the top of his crease!
06:01The shooter is in the slot, and he keeps it out of the net!
06:04Moose quickly over to Strubel!
06:06The Bears played along the way!
06:07And he kicks the pass!
06:08Oh, and a missfire as that goes right out of the zone!
06:10The Bears played along the way.
06:12And he kicks the pass.
06:15Oh, and a misfire as that goes right out of the zone.
06:18Covers it up and we'll get a stoppage in play.
06:26Still lots of time left in the period.
06:29The Rangers have taken a 1-0 lead.
06:33Carson has won the draw here in the offensive zone.
06:36Oh, and he stops that one.
06:38That one served up with a whole lot of spice.
06:41And he sends it across to Pallott.
06:50Handles the pass.
06:52Here's a race for the loose puck.
06:54And he comes up with it.
06:56Passes it to Kapanen.
06:59Sends it across.
07:00And he shuts down a great scoring chance there.
07:03He's been reading the play so well.
07:08His anticipation and the way he's getting to the top of his crease.
07:11The reason why he's on the shutout streak.
07:15Carrick's got the puck.
07:17Takes it along the wall by Kapanen.
07:20Takes the puck.
07:22And he takes the dish.
07:25Quick pass to D'Angelo.
07:26Too much congestion blocks the shot.
07:31Puts it on that.
07:32Makes the save.
07:34Tucker's taking it from his own end.
07:37Shakes off the defender with some nifty moves.
07:40Cover.
07:41He's got it against the boards.
07:42Oh, great move to sides of the chip.
07:48The Rangers take possession in the defensive end.
07:51Here's a short pass to Lozad.
07:55New York's got possession at center.
07:59That's a smart hands-off defensive play by Kraft.
08:03Big play inside the defensive zone.
08:07Stooped up along the wall by Kraft.
08:11And he takes the feed.
08:12And he comes up with a huge stop.
08:22Quick pass across to Sabinerjai.
08:27We've got a penalty coming up here.
08:30Quick whistle stops the play.
08:33Lozad's pick on the play is resulting in an interference penalty.
08:37When you're down at Bull, you can't generate any offense if you're short-handed.
08:40They're going to have to be opportunistic.
08:42Find a way to kill it all.
08:43And then reset the momentum.
08:51Guys, this power play, as we know, is ranked toward the bottom of the league.
08:54But that's not for us to remind them about the coach's shot.
08:58They've got a huge opportunity here.
08:59We know they can work them hard.
09:01Let's see if they can put that work to the test.
09:03And that's a solid flooring attempt on the play.
09:08Shesterkin's going to hang on for a whistle.
09:10Stenlund's ready for the draws.
09:17They will continue to try to kill off this penalty.
09:19The Rangers start with the puck in their own end.
09:28From the right side.
09:29Moves it up ahead.
09:30Oh, big hit on the clock.
09:32And look at this.
09:33He's on his own pitch.
09:34Oh, he's not going to lower this one down for a while, James.
09:37You know that he's going to get bounced for a bit because he's in the laps of his teammates.
09:42I think he's okay.
09:43This is slightly bruised ego.
09:45The Rangers game control the puck against the wall.
09:50Handles it again.
09:52From the right side, they gain the zone.
09:55Shot stopped by the go-tender.
09:58The shot's coming from the middle of the ice.
10:00And it has some heat on it.
10:01But he's ready and waiting for it.
10:03He's to position.
10:03And he makes the save.
10:05Heads it across.
10:06Oh, how about that for sacrifice?
10:09Well, on a PK, you have to sacrifice.
10:11And I love the way that he gets out there aggressively.
10:13And make sure that that shot does not get to the net.
10:17Big feed to Kirk.
10:19St. Petersburg's got the puck against the half wall.
10:23Beautiful read in the defensive end by Pichon.
10:27Looks to make a play over to Cooley.
10:30Quick shot.
10:30And he gets in front of the slap shot to make the save.
10:36From the left side, they gain the zone.
10:40Passes it in front.
10:41Off the stick.
10:42And they can't come through the play.
10:45St. Petersburg's regained possession with a puck.
10:49Moves it to Smith.
10:50And that one's denied.
10:53Avoids the poke check.
10:56To the low slot.
10:57That's in front of it.
10:58Well, I love this hit here, James, trailing in the game because it provides energy.
11:08It provides a spark.
11:09But he's trying to elicit response from the rest of his team.
11:12Because if all of a sudden they come out there and shift after shift, they start to impose their physical will, they're going to create momentum.
11:18And momentum can carry them back into this game.
11:21O'Brien's gliding in for the face-off as this penalty kill will continue.
11:26Blocked in front.
11:28St. Petersburg's got possession while undermanned.
11:31Lozong's up and ready to get back on the ice.
11:35The Rangers' man advantage is over.
11:37That's a great power play unit, James.
11:40And they're not going to feel great as they head off to the bench and it gets killed without the score.
11:44But they can keep their heads held high as they had a lot of execution.
11:47They found ways to get scoring opportunities on net.
11:52The Rangers lead it here late in this first period.
12:00New York's won it.
12:01Now they'll go on the attack.
12:03Huck possession right off the draw, James, against that's very tired.
12:07And the group who just iced the puck leads to an opportunity.
12:10Playing big in the moment there.
12:12Go to back.
12:13See who's there.
12:20In the final moments of this period, we got a 1-0 game at this point.
12:30The Rangers win the draw.
12:32And that shot gets caught in traffic.
12:34Sends it ahead to Jones.
12:375-4-8-3-3-3-3-3-3-4-3-3-4-3-3-4-3-3-4-3-3-4.
12:39Coming to the front of the net.
12:42Sensational stop by Shesterkin.
12:44I love this save, James.
12:45I mean, the goaltender is so aggressive on this play.
12:48He doesn't get the shooter any time to get rid of it.
12:50He's looking to make something happen here in the corner.
12:54Back at 9 and stickhand away in his own zone.
12:59Picked up along the boards by Perrault, works it across to Parsonin, back a nine and swinging
13:09the puck through setter ice, with the stop, and we get a whistle as the goaltender decides
13:17to hang on to this one.
13:21The setters will glide into the dot.
13:29And off the draw, they'll take possession.
13:33The Bears will play it from the defensive zone.
13:36The Rangers have it against the wall.
13:39New York's on the attack.
13:41Pucked away by Kaepernick.
13:43Oh, what a stop as he uses his paddle to sweat it away.
13:47I absolutely love this save, James.
13:49I mean, the shooter's at a point-blank range right in that low slot, and it's just taken
13:53away.
13:54Plan larceny.
13:55New York's put a lot of pucks on net, and they continue to lead late in the first.
14:00Presses it over.
14:02Pucked is off on the play.
14:04Run eventually erupts on that run, because otherwise it would have been in the back of
14:07the net.
14:09Moves it quickly over to pull up.
14:11Here we go.
14:12Odd Man Rush here.
14:15Takes the feed.
14:17Moves the puck.
14:18Plays the puck into that play.
14:21Over, over.
14:22Solid hit on the play, and that knocks the puck off his stick.
14:26And he easily stops that one.
14:29And he dodges the puck check there.
14:32Can he pull the trigger?
14:36That'll do it for period number one.
14:38We'll drop the puck on the second period in just moments.
14:40If you want to go to the shoulders of the puck fighters, don't forget to go to our website

18:13on the boards.
18:15The Bears carry it
18:16along the wall.
18:19Grabbed along the wall
18:20by Bastion.
18:22And the lane
18:22climbs up,
18:23blocking that.
18:26Quick pass
18:27to the Freniere.
18:28Great read
18:29by D'Angelo.
18:30With the tip.
18:32Oh, what a save
18:33in front.
18:35Pokes the puck away.
18:37Picked up along the wall
18:38by Schneider.
18:40Slides the puck
18:41across to Cooley.
18:43The Rangers play
18:44along the boards.
18:49From the defensive zone,
18:50they move the puck around.
18:52The Rangers have it now.
18:55Avoids the poke check
18:56and maintains possession.
18:58Here's a shot.
18:59Oh, what a stop
19:00on the clay.
19:01Gets all of it
19:02with the power.
19:03Well, that shot came quick
19:04and it was right out front.
19:05He had to be sharp.
19:06He had to be right on it
19:07and show his brilliant reflexes.
19:10Shakes himself free.
19:13Here's a chance.
19:14Sends it in front.
19:15Oh, and he comes up
19:16with a stop.
19:18And it's kicked away.
19:20Slides it diagonally
19:21for Cooley.
19:23Oh, a great play
19:23to sidestep the poke check.
19:25Here's a short pass
19:26to Radish.
19:28The Rangers gain control
19:29at the top.
19:31And now it's grabbed
19:32by O'Brien.
19:37New York's in transition.
19:39From the left side
19:40takes it to center.
19:42St. Petersburg's got a hold
19:43of it along the wall.
19:45Palac moving the puck
19:46through his own zone.
19:48Solid check to slow him down.
19:52They've got numbers here.
19:54There's a shot.
19:55Oh, he didn't get all of it,
19:56but just enough
19:57to keep it out of the net.
19:59Forces the turnover.
20:01Quick feed to Lozog.
20:04Quick possession
20:05along the wall.
20:08And a stick in the lane
20:10to flex that one away.
20:15The Rangers have it now.
20:18Here they come.
20:20And they'll dump it in.
20:23St. Petersburg's got the puck
20:25in their own end.
20:27And the puck skips out of the zone
20:29and they're forced to tag up.
20:31That's a good footwork
20:32to kick it away.
20:33Can't get a hold
20:34of that pass.
20:36The Rangers will play
20:37it in their own end.
20:40St. Petersburg's got it
20:42in the neutral zone.
20:44New York's got the puck.
20:47Ahead of steam now
20:48towards the front.
20:50Sets the pass to Trent.
20:51And he denies
20:52that great opportunity there.
20:56Oh, look at this.
20:58Fires it.
20:59Denies him on the slipper.
21:02Threws center along the wing.
21:07Here's a centering pass.
21:09And that's stopped.
21:16New York's been rewarded
21:17for their high activity
21:18in the offensive zone
21:19with lots of shots
21:20and they lead it
21:21here in the second.
21:24The Rangers win the draw.
21:26They try to maintain possession
21:28inside the defensive zone.
21:30That's not going to fool them.
21:32Great positioning
21:33by the goaltender
21:34to redirect it to the corner,
21:35getting it out of danger.
21:38St. Petersburg's got the puck
21:39here in the open ice.
21:42New York's got a hold
21:43to the puck now.
21:47Looking dangerous
21:48as they move along the boards.
21:50Goes right to the crease.
21:52And he makes the save
21:53with ease.
21:54Ellis makes the save
21:56and hangs on
21:57for a stoppage of play.
21:58They haven't even hit
22:01the midway mark
22:02for the period.
22:031-0 to score.
22:08New York's won the game
22:09so.
22:11Block it.
22:11He may have just stopped
22:12the ball.
22:13I think he did, James.
22:14I mean,
22:14you've got to protect the house
22:15especially when it's a great
22:16track shot like that
22:17and he finds a way
22:18to get in front of that
22:19and quick.
22:21Slides it over
22:21with pace to Fabry.
22:27Grabs control
22:28of it at the point.
22:30Back to the ball line.
22:32Blocked in front.
22:34New York's got a hold
22:35of it against the wall.
22:38Slides the puck over.
22:39Now he slides it up
22:40to Lafreniere.
22:43Sidesteps the check.
22:45Stopped by the goaltender
22:46getting a piece
22:47of that one.
22:54Takes the feed
22:55at the point.
22:58Moose it to Carrick.
23:01From the blue line
23:03they took control of it.
23:05The Bears will play it
23:06from the point.
23:10The Rangers
23:11gain possession.
23:14The Bears gain possession
23:16on their own end.
23:17Great read in the offense
23:18and sold by Miller.
23:21St. Petersburg's got the puck
23:22along the wall.
23:24Here's an odd man rush.
23:26And that skips away
23:27on a nice defensive deflection.
23:31And he sidesteps the check there.
23:34Moose it quickly over to Radish.
23:36What a fantastic save from a high danger
23:43scoring area, James.
23:44And he's bailing his team out.
23:46They have to do a better job
23:47of protecting the middle of the ice.
23:49New York's message was clear
23:51coming into this one.
23:52Lots of shots on net.
23:53And they lead here in this second.
23:56Denies the shooter on that plane.
23:58Puck is frozen
23:59and we'll get a face-off.
24:04Past the midway mark
24:05in this period.
24:071-0 is where we sit
24:08at this point.
24:11St. Petersburg's got possession
24:12here in their own end.
24:15Through the neutral zone now.
24:16Picking up steam.
24:21New York's got the puck
24:22along the boards.
24:25Look out!
24:26Here they come on the attack!
24:27And he's pulled over
24:30to the ice
24:31and loses the puck.
24:33St. Petersburg's got possession
24:34of the puck.
24:36New York's got it
24:37against the boards.
24:39Can't keep a hold of him.
24:40Take it along the wall
24:41by Smith.
24:43St. Petersburg's moving it
24:45into the offensive end.
24:50Quick pass to Burns.
24:52Oh, he gets a piece of the puck
24:53to deny the dare!
24:54Some nice good work here
24:57across the line.
24:59And he made the save
25:00to keep that one
25:01out of the net.
25:02Pucks off the feed.
25:04Cross the clear!
25:06And he moves the puck
25:07across the blue line
25:08out of the defensive zone.
25:11St. Petersburg's got it
25:12along the wall.
25:14Dishes it off!
25:17And that's broken up
25:18in the defensive zone
25:19by Schneider.
25:20Gains the zone
25:23along the right wall!
25:26Gains it over!
25:27Oh, he whacks it away

25:37Moves the puck
25:38along the half wall.
25:39And a bad pass
25:41and they'll be forced
25:41to start all over again
25:43outside the offensive end.
25:45And they send it
25:46right back to him.
25:47And now he moves it
25:48to Kapanen!
25:49There's the whistle!
25:50Offside is the call.
25:55The Rangers have been

26:27Tie game!
26:28Well, you can't worry
26:28about what happened
26:29in the game, James.
26:30It's all about
26:30what you do now.
26:31Staying in the present,
26:32that's exactly what
26:33they've done
26:34and they've got
26:34the equalizer.
26:36We have all the time
26:37in the world
26:38to just tag this
26:39clapper, low-stick side.
26:41That's a beautiful shot.
26:42St. Petersburg's push
27:03to the offensive end
27:03gets them the equalizer
27:05they needed.
27:05Yeah, and with
27:06impeccable timing too, James.
27:07At the end of the period
27:08you always know
27:09you want to maintain
27:10your composure
27:11but you also want
27:12to create a ton of energy.
27:13You don't want
27:13to be scored on
27:14but you certainly
27:15want to score a goal.
27:16They did just that.
27:17They brought themselves
27:17back at evens
27:18in this game.
27:21The Bears scoop it up
27:22along the boards.
27:23Here's a stretch pass
27:24to Palat!
27:26Cutting to the slot!

27:37to Lafreniere!
27:39Oh, and some smooth skating
27:40to lose the defender there!
27:42Slides it across!
27:46They go on the attack
27:47from the left side!
27:49Centering pass in front!
27:50Takes him last!
27:52Shesterkin's gonna give
27:53everyone a chance
27:54to breathe
27:54and hang on to the puck!
27:58Puck possession
27:59so critical
28:00in today's game
28:01and the official
28:02ready to drop

28:39Area mask
28:41President

28:47heeft
31:48Teams are readying themselves as the third period is about to go.
32:06Third period, we are all tied up, and the next goal could be a biggie.
32:16Moose inside!
32:17What?
32:18That might be a save.
32:19Well, that is a save, James.
32:21I don't think the goaltender would have gotten to position in time.
32:23He's able to take it away.
32:27Huge steal at his own end.
32:30There's the whistle as the net comes off.
32:34The turkens really had the pulse of his team this game, James.
32:37I mean, making some huge saves at the right time.
32:39And that's what you need from your goaltender to sort of weather the storm when they have to
32:42and make the timely save when they need to.
32:44He garnered the momentum from it.
32:46It's uplifting, and it provides energy.
32:48Lots of hockey left to be played in this period.
33:00It's all tied up.
33:01And Bryant's won the draw inside the neutral zone.
33:06They'll go to work offensively here.
33:11Here's an offensive chance.
33:13Quick feed to D'Angelo.
33:16Sends the pass over.
33:19New York's got the puck in the defensive end.
33:22Tries to feed it over to New York Strand.
33:25Shakes rock the cover in.
33:27Great stick work with the steal.
33:30Moose it to Tucker.
33:31Moose it around along the half wall.
33:35And that's blocked from someone in front.
33:37Quick pass across to Schneider.
33:40Loses the coverage there.
33:43Here's a chance.
33:44And he's got the answer for that one.
33:47York Strand's made a fantastic play, James.
33:49And he's falling to the ice.
33:50He's got the puck on his stick.
33:51And he still has the ability to lower that ball in hand
33:54and find a way to redirect the puck to the net.
33:56I mean, that's tenacity.
33:57That's courage in finding a way to complete
33:59and roll your way to the net.
34:01Shakes loose.
34:02Oh, what a save!
34:07Not much to say after that one, James.
34:09I'm actually at a loss for words.
34:11That was huge.
34:12I don't think anyone minds watching that one again, James.
34:14I mean, he's so dialed in in his crease.
34:16You think this is all but in.
34:17And then he comes out of nowhere
34:19to make that spectacular save.
34:21He never gives up,
34:22and he finds a way to get to it.
34:23Centers are lined up,
34:35and we are ready to resume.
34:36St. Petersburg's won the defensive zone draw.
34:45The Bears gain the zone.
34:50Carrick's going to play it against the half wall.
34:54Moves it quickly over to Liza.
34:55Now, that's a great heads up in the defensive zone
35:00to force the turnover.
35:05St. Petersburg's got it now.
35:09Receives the pass.
35:11Purses it over.
35:12And that was off a player in front.
35:15Through the neutral zone
35:16and into the offensive end.
35:19St. Petersburg's got control of it now
35:21from their own end.
35:29Here he is.
35:30It's loose.
35:31And that's blocked away.
35:33New York's got it in the wrong zone.
35:36Takes the feed from off the boards.
35:39New York's got the puck along the wall.
35:41And he gets in the lane to block that.
35:44The Bears have it now.
35:46And they'll go on the attack.
35:48Great pressure by Trocek.
35:49Picked up along the boards by Palat.
35:52Quick pass to Smith.
35:55Can't maintain possession after that hit.
35:57Takes the pass.
35:58With the stop.
36:00Slides the paddle in there
36:02and pokes it away.
36:04And that's blocked.
36:06Puck grabbed by Trocek.
36:07Can't complete the pass as it goes off a stick.
36:13And we'll get a face-off after the offside call.
36:18More than half the period left to play.
36:21We are all tied up in this one.
36:26And after the draw in center,
36:27they've got a hold of the puck.
36:28Here's a short pass to Pazzo.
36:31The Bears get a hold of the puck in their own end.
36:35St. Petersburg's got the puck.
36:38Quick feed to Struble.
36:39Mozen in front.
36:44A shot.
36:45Oh, what a stop by Shastrikan.
36:49Mozen to Pahal.
36:51Mozen across the point.
36:53Takes off the defender with some nifty moves.
36:58There's a hit on the play.
37:00New York's got possession here in the neutral zone.
37:03Well saved made by Ellis.
37:04I love the willingness to drive north on this
37:07and beat your opponent to the space in behind.
37:10And that's exactly what he does by a great body position.
37:13Just look at his legs and the wide base
37:14to be able to get in there and get that shot off.
37:17Both teams readying here for the face-off.
37:22The Rangers win that offensive zone face-off.
37:26Puck scooped up by Bjorkstrand.
37:28And a great scene.
37:30And he slides it quickly to Jones.
37:32And play continues here.
37:36Denies them in close.
37:38A player should never be left alone in the slot.
37:40But man, is the goaltender to task here.
37:42Gets out in front of it and makes a save.
37:44That opportunity's rejected.
37:47Here they come through, center and into the offensive end.
37:52Moves it to the middle.
37:53And he ups to backtrack here in the play.
37:58Puck picked up by Bjorkstrand.
38:00St. Louis comes up next on the schedule.
38:10And, you know, much like this fan base,
38:12they also travel well.
38:14Should be a fun one.
38:15I'm looking forward to it.
38:16More than half the period has gone by.
38:18Hope you're enjoying this one.
38:20We're gonna tie game.
38:21Great use of the stick of the defensive end by Bastion.
38:26St. Petersburg's got it in the offensive zone.
38:30Oh, they call it back.
38:31The pass, and he picks it off.
38:34Dragged along with Bjorkstrand by Schneider.
38:38And now he tries to get it across to Lecreniere.
38:43St. Petersburg's got a hold of it against the wall.
38:46Slides it up to Bastion.
38:56Takes possession.
38:58Dishes it off.
39:00Takes the pass.
39:02Pembers it on the one-timer.
39:04Shostak has opted to hang on to the puck for a face-off.
39:19Krojek's wanted in their own end.
39:22Beelzeck to Schneider.
39:25St. Petersburg's got possession at center.
39:30Picked up along the wall by Lazard.
39:32St. Petersburg's looking to break out.
39:38Beats it over.
39:41The Razors get a hold of the puck along the boards.
39:46From the point, looks to make something happen.
39:48And the pass goes off a stick.
39:52Quick feed to Kapanen.
39:56Coming to the point.
39:57Big save on the run.
39:59I really like the save, James,
40:00because he challenges the shooter
40:02who's all alone in the slot area.
40:04He turns aside a real dangerous opportunity.
40:07Big time stop there.
40:09Passes it over to Smith.
40:16Takes the feed.
40:18The Bears take it along the wall.
40:19St. Petersburg's got a hold of it along the wall.
40:33And the goaltender comes up with a piece of it
40:36to keep it out of the net.
40:38Yorkstrand's got it in the defensive end.
40:41Coming off the boards.
40:42Moves the top of the head.
40:44Tuck it along the wall by Brody.
40:46Or a great move to sidestep the chick.
40:50New York's trying to make something happen
40:52in the offensive zone.
40:54And that one's turned away.
40:56Dishes it to Bastian.
40:59Swords it across.
41:02Sends a pass over.
41:05Quick pass to D'Angelo.
41:07And it takes a shot.
41:08Stopped by the goaltender.
41:12Let's it go.
41:13Traversy.
41:14Alex was the task on that last save.
41:22A prime time example that he is in it
41:24to win it right now.
41:25I mean, that's a high danger grade A chance
41:27that he's able to keep out of the net.
41:38Getting into the later stages of this period.
41:40You can feel the energy in this crowd.
41:43It's a tie game.
41:47Tuck has dropped and he wins the draw
41:49here in the defensive zone.
41:53St. Petersburg's got a hold of the puck now.
41:58Handles the puck.
42:00Taken by Tucker.
42:02Works it across to O'Brien.
42:04What a steal in his own end.
42:05Pacho is lugging the puck.
42:10From the left side, they enter the offensive zone.
42:14And now it's grabbed by Miller.
42:16And that's out of reach and out of the offensive zone.
42:21Scooped up along the wall by Bryson.
42:23New York's got it in their own zone.
42:26And now it's over to Miller.
42:29Intercepted at center by O'Brien.
42:32Along the half-down with the puck.
42:36The Rangers gain possession.
42:39Final minute to go here in the third.
42:41Moves by the check.
42:45Score!
42:46Score!
42:47Score!
42:48The game's all about timing here, James.
42:51And now they're in front.
42:52So these next few shifts are critical.
42:54They want to go with a ton of energy and keep their opponent guessing.
42:58Well, the skating was effortless on this play.
43:00I think that he's batting the hook here.
43:03He's saying, come on, come play with me over here.
43:05And then guess what?
43:06The defender chases over plays.
43:08He recognizes where the ice is.
43:10So he turns on a dime.
43:12And he takes it to the net for a goal.
43:13That's a booty play.
43:19New York's got to feel like they've got some extra energy now
43:22with that one goal net here in the third.
43:24Well, you can see the finish line, but you're not there yet.
43:26So you've got to make sure that you continue to press, James.
43:28You've got to close quickly on your opponent when they have the puck.
43:31Don't give them an inch in all three zones.
43:36Picked up along the boards by Kaka.
43:41Comes up with a stop.
43:46The ball's game control.
43:47The puck against the wall.
43:49Moves it quickly over to Kera.
43:51Dwayne Whistle dead offside the call.
43:57Miller's been bringing all of his skills tonight.
43:59He's finally going to connect for a goal here
44:01after having multiple opportunities.
44:03He knew he was going to find it at some point here, James,
44:06because he was in and around the net creating space,
44:08an opportunity for himself and his linemates.
44:24Here in the late goings of the period,
44:25the Rangers are looking to build on this one-goal lead.
44:36The Bears win it.
44:39Oh, look at this.
44:41Grabbed along the board by Lazada.
44:44New York's got the puck in their own end.
44:46Here they come.
44:48Down the left side on the attack.
44:50Puck grabbed by Stenland.
44:52Sends it quickly to Smith.
44:53And that pass, he's intercepted.
44:56Oh, and now it pops up short as he just gets a bump at that one.
45:04A critical draw here.
45:13St. Petersburg's won the draw.
45:15Here's a short pass to Stenland.
45:17And the fans stay on his feet after that hit.
45:24And there's the final holder.
45:26Putting a goal on this one here this evening.
45:29New York's got to be pleased coming away with the win here tonight
45:32because they looked over one of the titles.
45:34Yeah, and this is one where they eked it out, right, James?
45:37I mean, really, their opponent was the better team for the majority of the game,
45:40but they got some timely opportunities, and they cashed in.
45:43And time for the fans to get in on the celebration with the stick salute.
45:47This is a great tradition, James,
45:49as they all stick around in anticipation of this salute.
45:51A nice thank you to the fan base.
