Penguins 5 - Rangers 4

The fact that the Rangers lost is not a big issue, but the manner of their defeat is what grates. I don't think I've ever seen a team that's worse at holding a lead. Last night the Rangers had a 3-0 lead and next thing you know it's 4-3 Pittsburgh.

Sure it's annoying that Crosby went down like he'd been shot when a light breeze caught his jersey, but that's not the reason the Rangers lost. Twice they allowed Pittsburgh to score a goal only seconds after they had already just scored.

Hockey Night in Canada is a great broadcast still.

What was up with the ice in Pittsburgh. I don't know which team benefited more, but the puck was bouncing rolling so much and there were a lot of mysterious trips and falls.
