Rangers Roll Over Habs, 4-Goal First Period Spells Doom for Montreal

It was a night of utter domination for the New York Rangers as they completely dismantled the Montreal Canadiens, scoring four goals in the first period and cruising to a comfortable 6-2 victory. The Habs looked lost from the drop of the puck, and the Rangers capitalized on every mistake.

The first period was a total nightmare for the Canadiens. They were outshot 16-5 and seemed to have no answer for the Rangers' relentless attack. The Rangers' power play was clicking on all cylinders, scoring two goals in the first five minutes and completely demoralizing the Canadiens.

The second period saw the Rangers continue their onslaught, adding two more goals to extend their lead to 6-0. The Canadiens finally got on the board in the third period, but it was too little, too late.

This was a classic case of "one team wanted it more." The Rangers were clearly the hungrier team, and they played like it. They were skating harder, hitting harder, and making smarter plays.

The Canadiens, on the other hand, looked like they were still on vacation. They were slow, sloppy, and didn't seem to have much fight in them. It's tough to win when you're playing like that, and the Canadiens paid the price for their lackluster performance.

The Rangers will be looking to carry this momentum into their next game, while the Canadiens will need to figure out how to get back on track. It's a long season, but they're going to need to start playing a lot better if they want to make the playoffs.
