Hurricanes’ Evgeny Kuznetsov has become Rangers’ new thorn
NY Post
Highlights and lowlights from the Rangers’ Game 5 loss to the Hurricanes on Monday night.
1. Evgeny Kuznetsov
After being made a healthy scratch early in the series, the Russian has scored in two straight games, including the eventual game-winner in Game 5.
2. Jordan Staal
It was an individual moment of brilliance from Staal, who beat Igor Shesterkin clean off a breakaway, that finally got the Hurricanes going in their comeback effort.
3. Jacob Trouba
You are the face of Major League Baseball, the $700 Million Man, and your close friend, your interpreter, betrays you, allegedly steals $16M from your bank account to pay off his gambling debts. An MLB investigation into The Scandal Heard ’Round the World, from here to Japan and back, thankfully absolves you. It does not cost you your reputation, or your growing legacy.
Whenever seasons like the one the Knicks just completed end, I always find myself back outside the visiting locker room at old Mile High Stadium. I always find myself standing with a handful of writers surrounding Bill Parcells maybe half an hour after the Jets lost the AFC Championship game to the Broncos.
