Senators 5, Rangers 4, OT (Sens 3-2)

The New York Rangers lost to the Ottawa Senators by the score of 5-4 in overtime of Game 5 of their Eastern Conference Semi-Final match-up. Ottawa leads the series 3-2. For a box score, click here.

3 Goats

1st Goat – 3 p.m. starts (I blame the early faceoff for the collapses)

2nd Goat – A Rangers two-goal lead in the postseason (The most dangerous lead in hockey)

3rd Goat – Puck luck (bad bounces on both game tying and winning goals)

Post Game Cocktail Recommendation

I feel like we’ve done this before. If you agree, grab yourself a cold Deja Vu.

Don't think goals matter? Ottawa about to go ahead 3-2 in the series despite Craig Anderson sporting a GAA above 3.30 and a SP below .890.

Boucher on Neil: "He did a terrific job." He didn't play after negating PP at 3:13 of 2nd. Boucher credited Neil's inspiration as big help.

Since the 2012 playoffs, NYR are 15-5 facing elimination & Lundqvist has a 1.74 GAA, .945 Sv%, 2 SHO. Courtesy Mike Rappaport, NYR PR.
