I was unable to watch last night’s game, so there is no goal breakdown. Sorry about that. But I went through Twitter and put together some good reactions to the game.

Chris Kreider and Mats Zuccarello really do have the best goal celebrations, don’t they?

Also pretty sure Zucc seems pretty easy going with these. Push me into a corner to celebrate? Sure. Jump into your arms? Sure. Pretty sure he’d be cool with sliding across the ice and an ensuing dog pile too.
Zombie Nation a top 5 goal song in the league. Top 5 stadium song in general probably.

I agree. As much as it pains me to say.
NY calls timeout.
When the hell is the last time AV exercised both a challenge and a timeout in the same game?

I’m going to go with never. I don’t think he’s ever done it.
Did Hank get that in the ankle? (Hankle?)

No. Just. No.
Michael Grabner splits the Bruins defense with speed, goes high glass and the puck bounces off Tuukka's back and skate before resting in back of the net. Christmas came early for Rangers. 1-0 NYR

This is why we always think Michael Grabner’s goal totals will regress. This was a complete fluke, but you take it. He has 16 (!) goals already. He might get to 30 this year.
Lundqvist is 53-21-7 with a 2.02 goals against average, .930 save percentage and nine shutouts in the second game of back to backs. In his last eight such starts, Lundqvist is 8-0 with a 1.73 GAA and .948 save percentage #NYR @HLundqvist30

This is just impressive. I don’t know how he does it.
Zucc is my elf on the top shelf #NYR https://t.co/XsMLQfJmM4

I feel like the Rangers actually play Zucc on a Shelf. He just sits there until someone notices him, then he moves to a different spot. Would probably be a fun game.
Zuccarello waited for Kreider to screen Rask before he shot, perfect! #NYR 🚨🗽

One tidbit on the OT winner that shouldn’t be ignored.
All in all, a good win. The Blueshirts got four points over the weekend to keep pace in the Metro. Their 39 points is fourth in the division, and keeps them tied with the Isles in the two wild card spots. Assuming Pittsburgh’s shooting comes around, expect five teams from the Metro to make the playoffs.
