  • There may have been more at stake than the game itself, the Rangers may take a long, hard look at Ryan Callahan as a result of the loss. Tuukka Rask "was stellar," as he kept the Bruins in the game until they warmed to their task. Birthday boy Henrik Lundqvist said the game was won and lost at the netfronts. [NYDailyNews]

  • The first period was a shooting gallery, shots 10-1 in favor of the Rangers. Then the KIL line swung into decisive action to turn the tide. Loui Eriksson passed to Gregory Campbell for a soul-sucking shorthanded goal. [TheBostonGlobe]

  • Uh-oh: The Rangers dominated the first period... except in net. Jarome Iginla and Marc Staal 's shoving match marked the first appearance of any passion in the game. [BostonHerald]

  • Making QUOTA was the icing on the cake. Rask summed it up: "It's a great win when you score six goals on a good goalie like that." [TheHockeyNews]

  • Adam McQuaid 's situation will affect the Bruins' choices at trade deadline. [NHL]

  • Take a deep breath and look at the numbers since Dennis Seidenberg 's injury. The Bruins may not need to make a blockbuster trade. [WEEI]
