Game 38 / Check out the whole project here

It was a slow decline to loss. First period: Bam! 3 goals by Nutivaara, Atkinson, and Hartnell and only 1 by the Rangers. Second period: Wham! Sedlak pounced quickly into the period when we took the puck on a rush and put it right past Lundqvist’s pads. Although the Rangers scored roughly a minute later with a score of 4-2 CBJ we were still in a great position to take home 2 points for the night. And then there was the third period: womp-womp. We just lost it. The Rangers scored 3 additional goals (the last one was made with only 20 seconds left in the game when a pass went awry and the Rangers jumped on the breakaway goal). Talk about 20 minutes of missed opportunities. Let’s get it together boys.
