Score one for the small guy.Former Michigan State defenseman Torey Krug, a 5’9” native of Livonia, MI, made his Stanley Cup playoff debut more than a little memorable by notching the Bruins’ second goal in Boston’s 3-2 overtime victory over the New York Rangers on Thursday night.  His slapper from the left circle just under three minutes into the third period

By now, you know the story between Henrik Lundqvist and the Boston Bruins. No matter the skill-set of the Rangers squad in front of the 31-year-old netminder, or even the skill of the Boston roster Lundqvist goes up against, the Swedish goaltender has absolutely owned the Black-and-Gold, and with a second round date with the Bruins and Rangers beginning last night in Boston, it was natural to...
claude julien "It was disappointing to say the least. We gave them that goal with just little over a second left. Right off the draw, when we lost it, we didn’t’ react well. I dealt with that in the room. The biggest thing was we couldn’t dwell on that goal. We had to go out there and take the play back to them as we had before that goal, but then we gave them that goal right off the first shift, Again, we’ve been through that. We went through it with Toronto. Guys didn’t hang their heads; they just said lets go get the next one."
claude julien "For his first goal he couldn’t have asked for better timing. Again, it just shows how good a player he is. Those young guys back there don’t lack confidence. That’s been really important for us, He certainly did a great job of coming into this situation and just going out there and playing the way he normally does. We asked him to do that and that’s exactly what he did."

For the second straight year, Henrik Lunqvist is a finalist for the Vezina Trophy, given to the NHL’s top goaltender. As a matter of fact, Lundqvist is making a very strong case as one of the greatest goalies ever to play the game. Before winning the Vezina Trophy in 2012, he was nominated in each [...]

Henrik Lundqvist came into the Eastern Conference semifinals as the best goalie on the planet, according to many observers.And after pitching back-to-back shutouts in Games 6 and 7 to lead the Rangers to victory over the Washington Capitals, he certainly arrived here as the hottest goalie.But while he was very good last night — making 45 saves — he wasn’t perfect.Lundqvist’s shutout streak
Henrik Lundqvist "I thought I made a bad decision, I mean it’s a tough play, but I could play it better. That was a tough overtime for us. We didn’t really get going, and they came out with a lot of energy and created a lot of chances. I thought we played a pretty good game. We did, but special teams were the difference, the one at 1-0 and then, I mean that’s going to be the case these playoffs."
Henrik Lundqvist "I’ve got to see the guy in the middle, I was too focused on the puck. I kind of knew (Marchand) was coming in the middle, but I just was too locked in on the puck, and that’s why I made a stretch move instead of coming with my pads together. It’s a technical thing and it happened fast. Sooner or later, when you face a lot of chances like that, you’re going to make a mistake. It’s not a mistake I’m going to sleep less over. I thought we played a solid game, but we just came up short here."

But I think we all know that playing Boston now, we have to step it up a little more."
Rick Nash "I think the offense will come, I was getting a few chances. My main goal is trying to help the team. It's unfortunate I can't do it right now by bringing the offense. I'm just trying to make good defensive plays, trying to set guys up and bring some momentum swings."
