To the crowd it looked like a goal. Referee Mickey Ion ruled that, since he had blown his whistle to stop play before the puck went in, the goal did not count. A goal for the Rangers would have tied the score, 1-all, in the second period of the deciding game of the final series for the Stanley Cup, hockey...
...four games in a row in two preliminary playoff series. Against the Red Wings, the Rangers stretched their string to five, lost the second game, won the third.
