Avs, Sharks and Rangers. The way it should go.

Flyers came out flatter than an A chest tonight!

Need a rht85 type reverse mush here in the 3rd.

I know you owned the Blackhawks, but it's the Playoffs...Assuming you take care of business, want to play $100 on series..Check to Byk for Rescue group?

c'mon minn.
glad the rangers won (which is something i never envisioned saying!) because i detest philly.

don't care if it's la or san jose.

Can't expect to climb out of holes every f'n game., as valiant an effort as it was.

Best of luck to the Rangers fans here on the board.

I gotta admit, I never thought that the Flyers would give the Rangers such a hard time. I honestly didn't think they were that good. Truthfully, Mason (who I didn't even think was that good before the series began) single handily kept them in every game. Without him, that game would have been a laugher after one period last night and he gave them a chance. I wonder what would have happened if he was healthy for the entire series. My view on him definitely did a 180.

Speaking of goalies, Jonathan Quick was ridiculous last night too. Had to think that once SJ started with the musical goalies in game 6 it was the beginning of the end for them. Did Joe Thronton even play last night? He was absolutely invisible. I was glad to see them go. I think LA is a very easy team to root for, I'd like to see them beat the Ducks.

I don't even know where to begin with the Wild game. Colorado is the team usually putting up late goals on everyone got a taste of their own medicine last night when Minny scores to tied it up with less than 3 minutes to go. In OT, it was all Minny. The Av's are a good young team and will make some noise in years to come, but I have never been a big Patrick Roy fan, so I was happy to see them get bounced too last night. Also for all the talk about Valarmov I think he is very over rated.

It was a tremendous night of hockey. On to round 2.

pulling for montreal, but they have it tough. that's the series i'm most excited about this round.

again, reduced to pulling for the rangers....sigh. anyone but pittsburgh, please!

i think chi wins.
c'mon ducks!

I probably would have passed. Hawks looked really good v. St Louis. Tough loss last night. Hawks Rangers is my new cup wish list.

Rangers' poor special teams (shocking) let the Flyers hang around. At 5-on-5 it was no contest for the majority of the series.

Penguins have more talent on paper than the Rangers, but that goalie could be the equalizer. If it were Fleury in net last night instead of Mason, the Rangers would've been up 5-0 after 2. I love our depth right now and I think playing a more finesse team in the Pens rather than Boston in the 2nd round will be huge, especially with the ridiculous schedule the NHL laid out for the series.

Let's go Blackhawks!! Beat up Wild.

i think that's what will happen.

I think tonight is a huge trap game for the Hawks

just saw pk subban is getting some of the same racist garbage that the caps' joel ward got a few years back. that's too bad.

I wonder if any of those idiots in Boston that are heckling him realize that the Bruins drafted his brother.

The scheduling in this series is ridiculous. The Rangers will be playing their sixth game in 9 or 10 days including a second set on back to back nights. Huge disadvantage tonight, Henry will have to steal one.

He stole one last night. Should have been 8-0.

Big trouble tonight if they don't add some fresh legs, and if best players don't show up again....

Rangers badly need some offense from their D. 2 goals in 9 games isn't gonna cut it. McDonagh hasn't looked quite the same since the shoulder injury unfortunately.

He has to be still banged up. What they need is their top line to compete and produce. Defensively they aren't a big scoring group as it is, now they are going against a very explosive team. So I expect them not to be as aggressive.

Last night they looked tired and slow. Besides if the PP contributes anything they probably steal that game 2-1 last night. It was a flat performance against a team that played a solid 60 minute game in what was a must win situation for them.

There isn't one person that wouldn't have signed up for a split of the first two in Pittsburgh if given the opportunity before the series. So that's where they are. Hopefully they come out much more energetic tonight, play physical and throw some more rubber at Fleury.

I agree, last night was house money. Not stressing about the loss at all. But they're not beating the Penguins and all their weapons without getting a lot more from McDonagh on both ends.

Talking is overated anyways..

come on rangers! maybe the loss at home last night will shake them out of their torpor.

They outplayed the Pens and outshot them over 2-1, unfortunately nothing found the back of the net. Obviously that makes tonight a must, but they are far from dead in the water.

Goddamn underachieving losers. Nash can GFH.

Joey, I'll admit that they haven't played well this series, but no one seems to be giving the Pens any credit. They have played exceptionally (especially on the defensive side) so far. Nash is getting absolutely trashed and I guess it's deservingly so, but St. Louis has been just as bad if not worse. Honorable mention for Richards and Stepan's disappearing acts as well.

The writing was on the wall in the Philly series. They should have absolutely throttled the Flyers (I just don't think they are very good) and it went 7. I had such high expectations going in to the post season and all of a sudden this team looks closer to a tear down then it does to a Stanley Cup champion. Very disappointing to say the least.

Penguins have been good but these last two games were very winnable. It's not like last year when it was obvious the Bruins were in another class. We can hang with this team, but not when Hank is the only one deserving of his game check. That was an utter disgrace last night. Worse than the back-to-back shutouts.

B's blow them out tonight. Quick has the Kings playing with heart, and he's the best goalie still playing. Beat LA again in the finals

I knew the Rangers had this kind of game in them, which is what made Game 4 so frustrating. So much respect to St. Louis for playing through the loss of his mother. I have a feeling that really inspired the team. Whatever McDonagh took before the game, he needs to bottle that sh*t.

The Rangers have been prone to inexplicably bad performances at home all season, but they just need to come up with one big game at MSG, because if it gets to a Game 7, Fleury will piss himself.

I love when milbury is wrong. And listened to NHL radio on the way home, they also were sticking a fork in NY.
Feel bad for msl,cannot imagine playing after suffering that loss...but he'd probably rather be with his mates at a rough time.

A bittersweet goal for Marty. He grabbed up the puck, I'm pretty sure where that will be going.
Rangers came out hot, hope they can keep up the tempo


Edit...no sooner do I type the above, a second goal. Keep it up NY!

marty named number one star tonight.

Great moment for Marty. His teammates love the hell out of him after only a few months. Now we're cooking with fish grease and Fleury is rattled. That goal he gave up to Hagelin was pathetic. Don't know why it took the Rangers so long to find this gear but very glad they found it. ONE MORE BOYS!!!

this. and Henrik keeps getting better. Great game last night.

i know he had a rough time of it after moving there, but his new team has certainly been there for him now with him losing his mom.


was listening to the nhl radio show this morning....the guest they had on cracked me up. they were discussing the rangers, and he said 'yeah, this could go either way'. wow. some insight coming up to game 7. :rolleyes:

enjoyed crosby getting knocked flat, but the king with the water bottle.....

wonder if he gets a fine like thornton did for spraying subban?

5 g's. I'm sure Hank would tell you it was worth it.

Spear someone in the groin = No Fine
Squirt someone with a water bottle = 5K

Seems legit.......:rolleyes: :zz:

right after thornton got less than 3k, the supposed maximum. makes no sense, one was squirting a player during the game, the other was after play had stopped, and the period was over. which could have caused a bigger safety issue?

but yeah, i'm sure he would say it was worth every penny! but i really liked girardi shoving him over as a prelude to the dousing.

yeah, golden boy can do whatever and get away with it. and then it costs more to shower him than pk subban.

Seriously, Sid could've drown. Saftey First.
