long time coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins, [music] commanded them to back-to-back Cup champions. Now with the New York Rangers, charged with getting them back to form. Rangers win the opening faceoff and we are underway as the puck is driven in straight on to Bennington. He’ll clip it to the corner. Tyler Tucker slaps it along the wall. Rangers hold it in right in front and the Blues 15 seconds in. Yeah. I don’t know that he was the kind of guy that stood around and waiting for the pot to boil when he was trying to cook pasta. >> No, no, no, no. At that point, he’s like, heck with he’s nuking the water. >> That’s right. He wasn’t a guy in the dance just waiting on THE OUTSIDE. BURN SHOOTS. SCORE. Came out of the corner. Tight angle over the shoulder under the bar. His first is a blue and he gives the Blues a one- nothing lead with a minute two to go. Period number one. Gets on the board. The Blues picked [music] him up a couple days ago off Waiverss. Watch this shot right here. Oh, that is so sweet. That is so sweet. He comes out of the corner. He’s got his head up. He’s looking across the [music] blue paint. He’s going to find a little gap just to the left of Shurken’s ear and with pinpoint accuracy. Be your Uber Draggers. Make sure to give him five stars in a nice tip. >> Yeah, I’m sure he’ll return the rating favor. Reach Fowler holds it in. Rink wide. They go to Thomas. Thomas down along the right wing from Kulie to Fowler. Fowler with a shot. SAVE IS MADE. BUCKETS knocked down and Shist Sturken will fall on top of it before the Blues can find the loose pride. Pero into the St. Louis zone. They hit the trailer. to the middle. Shot to the goal. LOOSE PUCK NEAR SIDE. BLOCKED AWAY BY SHEN. Penalty for Tripping coming up. That is such a great underrated play that you just don’t notice enough of. And it’s it gets the Blues out of the zone. Bennington coming out playing that puck. Lavo over the line to the far wing. Wrist, they score. IT GOES UNDER THE PAD OF BENNINGTON. It’s a power play goal. 5 seconds were left, Joe, for his first National Hockey League goal. Yeah, you’re absolutely right, Curves. It did get deflected because it was from the outside. I’m thinking, how does this puck get in? The shot from the outside. Remember Perau was in the box. So, now he’s out. Here’s a perfect look at it right there. Look at that left skate. See that right there? No stopping [music] motion. That is a directed hit and that will count. 60 seconds to go on the power play. Tie game 1-1. Into the FRONT THEY GO. BIG SAVE BY BENNINGTON before [music] the Christmas break. Two more road games to go. Here’s Torupchenko taking the face off. That doesn’t happen often. No, it does not. Rangers win it. They go along the far wing. Into the middle they go. And just missing. would drop down to a knee. 21-1 and five in the previous eight. They win the opening draw and Tucker’s going to dump it in. Very impressed with how they’ve been able to get to the inside and get to the net. Not the biggest guys in the world, but you can tell it’s just an attitude to get there. Bren again, CENTERS TO THOMAS AND A SAVE MADE ON a point blank chance. >> Boy, I tell you Burger, he’s a playmaker. That’s another look right there. Then to Butch Navage, now to Bergman. Releases right point. Faulk skates the line. goes ring line with it. The fowler deflected shot loose in front. Bounced to the goal. Flickered away by the blocker of Sister Durkin. Very good looks. You’re going to see the shot from the outside. [music] It’s got a lot of bodies in front. You’re going to see the tip, the pop, and then watch Robert Thomas is going to get it right high. Yeah, that’s going to be above the crossar. >> Thomas will get over to the corner here on the near side. >> GET IT FREE. BUSH NAMES WITH A SHOT AND OFF THE LINE. They’re getting it into the middle of the ice. Spin it to the far wing. Nice play Miller to Troche into the circle HITTING THE TRAILER OFF BENNINGTON. HE’S BUMPED INTO the shot gets blocked away. The stick comes to the near side. They have counted because JT Miller, he got tripped from the backside and was pushed into Bennington. So, woo, we’ve got free hockey tonight. Back to overtime and the Blues look for that first [music] overtime win of the season. Face off in the neutral zone. Blues are able to win it. Brog’s going to go get the puck. Yeah, great effort by Thomas. Good support there by B. That was a set play. JT Miller, he took off from his own zone there. Curves and it was just a misplay there by New York. Rangers get to it off the near side as Gabricov drops it off. Troche coming in. 243 to go into the slot. MILLER WITH A SHOT. HE SCORES. A screen on Bennington. the blocker side shot and the New York Rangers win in overtime. The Boo’s overtime struggles continue right in front of the eyes of Jordan Bennington. He picks his head up. He shoots it. It does not look like it’s even deflected. Bennington, you can tell by the reaction, does not see this puck.
