Teams that have gone up 3-0 in a series are 203-4 all-time in Stanley Cup Playoff history.
We weren't sharp, Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette said. We gave up way too many chances in the first period and kind of died off after that, just wasn't a night we were looking to have.
Anytime you don't play up to your capabilities you get concerned about that, but I also know that this group has had games like that before and they responded, Laviolette said.
The true mark of a championship team is how they respond to adversity, and opening up the playoffs on a seven-game win streak is not exactly an environment that breeds such a thing.
