BOSTON — This is the Rick Nash everyone has been waiting for this postseason, the one the Rangers desperately need if they’d like to find their way out of the second round.
The star winger finally got his first goal of the postseason in yesterday afternoon’s 5-2 loss to...
Rick Nash "We lost the game, and that’s pretty much the only thing on my mind."
Rick Nash "That’s the game, is jumping on the other team’s mistakes, It seems the few times we made a mistake it ended up in the back of our net. When they did, we couldn’t finish. We have to be better offensively."

Ryan Callahan "It lets us know that it’s still a series,"
Henrik Lundqvist "They had a lot of guys in front of me, I was trying to work hard to find pucks. It was definitely a tough game to play."

In boxing it’s the punches you don’t see coming that knock you out. In hockey, it’s the pucks.In baseball, you can’t hit what you can’t see. In hockey, you can’t stop it.For confirmation on any of this as it relates to the life of a hockey goalie, ask Henrik Lundqvist.
Henrik Lundqvist "This game was about tracking down pucks and it was tough,"
Henrik Lundqvist "A lot of late guys coming in, dragging the puck through the slot with guys in front of me. You just have to work hard to find pucks. It was definitely a tough game to play, no question"

With just a couple of inches worth of luck, Johnny Boychuk would be tied for the Bruins lead in playoff goal-scoring.After ringing two shots off goal posts in Game 1 against the New York Rangers, Boychuk’s aim was a little truer yesterday in Game 2 at the Garden — where the defenseman’s goal proved to be the game-winner in the B’s 5-2 victory over the Blueshirts.Even with the posts, Boychu
Johnny Boychuk "Just hitting the net, I guess, And sometimes it’s luck — just getting shots on net. (There’s a) better chance to score when you hit the net."
Johnny Boychuk "They’re still doing a good job (of blocking shots), We just have to move and make sure to get it past the first guy."

And with regard to their current opponent, the New York Rangers lost the first two games on the road in the first round and came back to beat the Washington Capitals in seven games.So, yeah, you might want to temper your enthusiasm for where the B
Brad Marchand "We’re very happy with how our whole lineup played, Every line chipped in and did what they were supposed to. That’s what makes our team tough to play against, when we’ve got all four lines going like that on a consistent basis. Hopefully we can keep that going in New York."
claude julien "Second period, you’ve got to give Tuukka a lot of credit, The turnovers and giveaways in the second period weren’t something that we do much, but it was certainly something that could have been disastrous tonight. But Tuukka did a great job."

Ryan McDonagh "I don’t think you can say that we were close in this game, We did have chances there in the second. I think the second period was probably our best period of the six we’ve played so far against them. We weren’t able to get enough goals there."
