This. While Hank was terrific tonight, he didn't exactly have to stand on his head. He had plenty of help. If anything the Rangers were too eager to sit on their lead. That's not good. Give credit to Tortorella, he has his finger on the pulse. Ripping the team for not playing well after the first period was smart and spot on. Never felt like this one was in jeopardy but the boys still had more to give. Plenty more.
