Gaborik, Dubinsky Lead Rangers Past Senators


The New York Rangers realize how stupid they were to not sign Dubinsky sooner as Dubinsky scored two goals to lead the Rangers to victory of Drive By Heatley's former team the Ottawa Senators.

Marian Gaborik decided he groin was okay enough to play in two consecutive games and at least this week makes all the doubters pay attention as he scored again.

"I think our lines have a lot of speed and we can handle the puck down low," Gaborik said. "We create a lot of chances."

Michelin Man Henrik Lundqvist made 32 saves, or at least his equipment did.

Ottawa had a record of 16-4-1 in their last 21 visits to Madison Square Garden. Daniel Alfredsson and Peter Regin (scoring with 6 seconds left) managed to score for the Senators, making the rape charges they filed against New York a little less substantial.

Pascal Leclaire, in his first start since having ankle surgery in December, made 29 saves and basically looked like... Pascal Leclaire.

In explaining the loss, Ottawa forward Jason Spezza made up words:

"We hurt ourselves by taking a lot of penalties," Spezza said. "They brought a better structure to their home opener. We were kind of scrambly."

Rangers forward Sean Avery missed the game with a sprained MCL in his right knee that he suffered after some rough foreplay with his boyfriend.
