Here is EVERYTHING that happened........
So, puck dropped. It was just a normal game. You had your usual pushing and shoving. Glove saves and blocked shots. Then, Kreider elbowed Simmonds into the boards and he got up slowly. He was fine. But what he did was NOT fine! On his next shift he did something that changed the look of this game. Simmonds got into a little push and shove session with McDonagh. Then it happened. Simmonds sucker punched McDonagh right in the jaw and he fell instantly. He wasn't moving. He just laid there in pain. I'm guessing during commercial break he finally got the strength to get up and go strait to the looker room where he was assisted by Ranger's Medical Trainers. In the being of the 2nd Period they announced that the Rangers will have to play without their Captain. McDonagh was not returning to the the game.

Trivia Question~
Prior to Brassard who was the last Rangers center to score 18+ goals in 3 consecutive games?
Trivia Answer-
My thought- Mark Messier
Answer- Petr Nedved (5 seasons)
Comment who you thought it was!
This game was wild. Sooooo much pushing, shoving, hooking, tripping, we had baby fights in front of Lundqvist and Mason. Lindberg and Read fight midway through the 2nd period. That was Lindberg's first fight in the NHL. Congrats on the Lindberg!🔴⚪️🔵
Glad your first fight was with the Rangers!!
RANGERS WIN!! RANGERS BEAT THE FLYERS FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A SHOOTOUT!!
