"The main victim of the Rangers' power play, their own All-Star goaltender, lodged a more-than-justified complaint.

"One goal, and it's the difference. We did a lot of good things on the power play and had chances, but in the end, it is the difference," Henrik Lundqvist said after the Devils beat the Rangers 1-0 on David Clarkson's power-play goal last night at the Garden.

One 4-on-3 power play goal in 13 games is not the stuff that makes champions, and this chance to run at the Cup doesn't come very often. Their 0-for-35 bankruptcy with the man-advantage should have rung alarms long ago."
