The Rangers were supposed to practice Wednesday, but their 4-3 triple-overtime loss to the Penguins on Tuesday night changed their plans.
Instead, they reported to MSG Training Center in Tarrytown for some light stretching and maintenance after 106 minutes of Stanley Cup playoff hockey in that marathon Game 1 at the Garden.
As important as ensuring they’re physically recovered from the longest hockey game in the current Garden’s 54-year history, the Rangers will have to mentally bounce back as well. Head coach Gerard Gallant was concise with his message, saying the Rangers have to simply move on and set their sights on Game 2 on Thursday night.Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post
Before the playoffs even started, several Rangers acknowledged how crucial it would be to not get ahead of themselves. They had to know one loss wouldn’t mean the series is over, and one win wouldn’t mean the series was in the bag. The Rangers have harped on the importance of a 60-minute effort all season long, and they were reminded Tuesday night what can happen when they don’t produce that. Gallant agreed that at times the Rangers reverted to some of their old habits, such as making one too many pretty passes and failing to sustain puck possession.
