BOSTON _ David Quinn did everything he could to keep his team focused on winning a game Saturday night, rather than his return to Boston for the first time as Rangers coach.
Yes, the Rhode Island native and former Boston University coach admitted, coaching a game in TD Garden was a big deal _ "I'd be lying if I didn't say that when the schedule came out this wasn't, probably, the first game I looked at from a road game standpoint," he said before the Rangers beat the Bruins, 3-2, but the two points were more important to him than any nostalgia.
"When you've got a responsibility and your team is fighting and clawing for points and playoff positioning, those things are way more important than that stuff," he said. "We want to build on the things we've been doing, and again, feel really good about our effort. Deserve to win, when the game ends tonight."
