 After that, it was "hectic, jittery hockey", during which the Canucks twice came close to tying the game.First, Martin Gelinas seemed to have beaten Richter on a three-on-two, but his shot hit the goal post and then deflected off the Rangers’ goaltender and had to be cleared by Kevin Lowe.Just 40 seconds later, Nathan LaFayette "frightened all Manhattan wobbling a loose puck" off the post behind Mike Richter with five minutes left.
