The Rangers’ goalie controversy is over. After Alain Vigneault decided it would be a good idea to bench the face of the franchise and the sole reason for any Rangers success in the post-lockout era in favor of a rookie goaltender with seven career starts under his belt, everything is back to normal. And the only reason everything is back to normal is because that rookie goaltender allowed four goals in his temporary role as the No. 1 and the Rangers lost.
Kevin DeLury of The New York Rangers Blog joined me to talk about Vigneault’s decision to bench Henrik Lundqvist in favor of Cam Talbot along with the complicated contract negotiations for Lundqvist, the job Vigneault has done through the first two months as head coach and whether or not the Rangers are destined to lose in the first or second round of the playoffs again.
