Greenburgh, N.Y. • Don’t judge the New York Rangers by the scores of their two losses to the Boston Bruins. According to coach John Tortorella, the Rangers played much better in the Game 2 blowout than in their overtime defeat in the series opener. The bottom line is this: for the second consecutive series, New York has dug an 0-2 hole on the road and will need to rebound quickly at Madison Square Garden if the club hopes to extend this postseason run. “The first game, the score doesn’t indica...

Burying slain suspect

Updated May 16, 2013 08:03AM MDT

As an American citizen, I understand the hatred some people have for Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the slain suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings. However, refusing this person a burial place was totally uncalled for. After all, all religious faiths teach compassion. Not for a murderer, but for one of God’s creations.

Doswell, Va. • Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev has been buried in a cemetery in central Virginia, infuriating some members of the area’s Islamic community who say they weren’t consulted and flooring at least one neighbor who said she didn’t even know she lived near a burial ground. The secret interment this week at a small Islamic cemetery ended a frustrating search for a community willing to take the body, which had been kept at a funeral parlor in Worcester, Mass.
