from Ruffled Lines,

Lindy Ruff up first...

On the Cody Eakin ejection:

“I understand the call. There was no intent on his part. As a penalty killer he’s trying to gain speed so he can get back. I watched the play and Henrik (Lundqvist) was off the wall originally and I think he just mishandled it for a second. When he went to go play it, he went into the wall. Cody said he was just trying to jump by him. I know it doesn’t look that way but there was no intent on his part.”

On the play with Lundqvist:

“I was coming in pretty fast, trying to create some energy, and my intention was to go for the puck. Obviously, it was not to make contact with him or his head. The collision carried me a little bit off my feet.”

On receiving discipline from the League:

“I’m sure I’ll hear something and we’ll go from there. The game just ended so I don’t know anything.”

Rangers Head Coach Alain Vigneault

On Henrik Lundqvist’s play tonight and the hit by Cody Eakin:

“Well, the first thing is that the League better do something about that hit. It’s everything that you want to take away from the game. Hit to the head, forward motion and it’s a goaltender on top. That happens in the playoffs and your goaltender has to go out of the net. They better do something about that and they better take care of business. As far as Hank’s [Henrik Lundqvist] play tonight; there’s no doubt that he played extremely well....
