VANCOUVER, British Columbia _ So many of the New York Rangers' games lately have had a familiar look to them _ they fall behind, make a spirited comeback, lose in overtime or a shootout, and talk afterward about all the positives they can take from a loss.
Well, this one was quite different.
Ranger forwards Chris Kreider and Brendan Lemieux were both ejected from the game in the second period Wednesday _ according to Rogers Sportsnet, the Rangers became the first team in the NHL this season to have two players ejected from the same game _ and the Blueshirts, forced to kill two major penalties and play with 16 skaters for more than half the game, lost to the Vancouver Canucks, 4-1 at Rogers Arena in the second game of their four-game road trip.
