This appeared in The Guardian today:
The New York Rangers came from behind to defeat the Detroit Red Wings 3-1 and complete a satisfying weekend's work in the NHL. Brian Boyle put the Rangers ahead in the 16th minute of the contest but Pavel Datsyuk levelled the scores in the second period.
However, the home side finished strongest and after Dan Cleary had netted with 2min 3sec remaining, Kris Draper put the gloss on the victory with an empty-net goal seven seconds from the end.
Jimmy Howard excelled in the home net, stopping 28 shots – including a penalty save from Ryan Callahan in the second session which kept his team just a goal adrift.
The result enabled the Rangers to follow up Saturday's defeat of the Buffalo Sabres in style, while Detroit's disappointment continued – they had gone down 4-3 in a shoot-out to the New Jersey Devils the previous night.
Just two little problems with that... (1) Howard was in outstanding form, but he plays for Detroit. And... ummm... (2) the WINGS won the game. Other than that? A typical Guardian take on most things: wrong.
