Rangers get shoutout 4-0 in Game 3

And now lead 2-1 instead of 3-0 after blowing a golden oppurtunity last night.Right from the start you could tell lady luck wasn't on the rangers side.Alex Semin scored early on,finally beating Lundqvist who almost made the save.Then the turning point,Ryan Callahan hit the post on and empty net and the caps went down the other way and it made it 2-0 on semins second goal.The Rangers had some chances on the PP but once again didn't pressure rookie goaltender simeon varlamov the way you'd like to see a team do to a rookie.Add to that their PP didn't look good and at least 2 powerplays were cut short do to rangers penalties.Avery had rough night penalty wise,some were definitely warranted and a couple I thought were repuatation calls.The interference with goaltender penalty was a definite 2 mins for being #16,he backed into the crease after being nudged in and grazed varlamov with his backside.The high sticking call on him I really didn't get a good angled look at it.In the third things got a little more out of hand,avery gave a swipe to varlamov before being hit with 2 roughing penalty and 10 game misconduct,at that point the game was over anyways.
