Saint-Louis Mississouri - This was the second meeting between the New York Rangers and the Saint-Louis Blues. We tried our best but Rangers were too much tonight, The first game was a tied 1-1, in this game we played a terrible second period and they won 4-3, So were ready for the game but our goalie Antero Miitymaki missed the boat. After the game Miitymaki was trade to Detroit for Marty Turco. Coach Peter Laviolette asked for Antero Niitymaki to be trade for a veteran goalie, he said this should help his team to get out of a loosing streak so the Saint-Louis Blues acted right away and fillfull Laviolette wish, lets hope this will put us back on the winning side.
