With 36 saves, Henrik Lundqvist made it possible for the Rangers to once again stay in a game long enough for their offense to wake up. The alarm clock went off in the third period, and for the second time in three games this series, the Rangers won, 3-0, to take a two-games-to-one-lead. The Rangers have six goals in the third periods of their two wins, and two total in the other seven sessions. Dan Girardi, Chris Kreider (on a deflection) and Ryan Callahan (empty-netter, but it's still something) scored.

Last week, "Lazy Sunday" was conspicuously absent from the star-studded SNL 100th Digital Short bonanza video. We were curious why the first Digital Short breakout hit wouldn't have been included in that—and it seems it was because Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell had one more up their sleeves. Below, watch "Lazy Sunday 2," in which the two drink mimosas at brunch, discuss the long lines at Magnolia, and catch a showing of "Sister Act: The Musical.

Burns, a married father of two, says it all began when Trapano—who frequently rode his line with her sister—passed him a handwritten note in April 2011: “She gave me a note telling me all about wanting to get together, [to] give her a call." He claims he put her off for awhile, but eventually she cornered him and he called her to clear everything up: “I called the lady, and I told her, I said: ‘Look, I read your letter. I appreciate your interest but I’m married and I don’t get involved with my passengers like that.

According to the Post, the seven-months pregnant wife of Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie sent her husband a series of suicidal texts messages in May 2011 that read: “God forgive me, I don’t want to die.

After all, the 28-year-old Cromartie has quite the reputation: he has 10 kids by eight different women in six states, AND the couple is expecting a set of twins soon.

To celebrate the occasion of a gang of toothless millionaires pushing a disc around for glory (and money), the New York Rangers sponsored a flight from La Guardia to Newark yesterday, and the Times (with a photographer!) was on hand to witness the five minute flight. Reporter and Rangers fan Tony Gervino writes that the whole trip, "door to door," took five hours, "almost twice as long as the game itself." And what about the fact that Delta and the Rangers just spewed a ton of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, not to mention all the people who had to drive to the airport because they—WOOOOO GO RANGERS!

For those who weren't able to spend $250 on an Extra Mooga ticket yesterday, here's a taste of what Anthony Bourdain told the assembled crowd: he'd take a "big f*cking can of gasoline" to Olive Garden, that the James Beard house should be turned "into something useful like a methadone clinic," and that a unicorn meat is delicious.

Kenneth Moreno, the former NYPD officer who was acquitted of raping a woman in her East Village apartment but was convicted of misconduct, is contemplating filing a civil suit against New York City and HBO. "It's a civil-rights action," attorney Eric Sanders tells the Post.
