MaTH716 vs. -BT- (NHL Playoffs)

[ateamstupid]

Kreider is the future. Great dime by Nash too.

This is almost certainly ending in 5, but I can't be mad at the Rangers tonight. They fought hard and avoided the sweep (with a little help from Rask). They're not deep/healthy enough to beat BOS but at least they finally showed up.

It was weird watching last night, I tried not getting emotionally vested into it, cause of the likely outcome.

While I agree that Boston is the better team, the Rangers have given them a run for their money so far, the series has been a lot closer despite the stranglehold that the B's have on it. So I'm fairly pleased with whatever the result will be at this point. Especially with them climbing out of a 2-0 hole last night and then re-tying the game with under 10 minutes again. In addition to them come back against the Caps.

And truthfully as long as they still have Hank, they still have a slugger's chance of stealing a game or two.


I like Krieder a lot too, Torts should have given him this opportunity with top line players a long time ago. The treatment of Krieder is high on my disappointments of this season.

Hawks have just been played outplayed so far.

I still can't believe they're breaking up that division. Such a great rivalry.

That blooper reel goal Rask let in woke everyone up, fans and players. It was a different game from that point forward. Stepan was brilliant and even the Rangers' PP started to look competent. Agreed re: Lundqvist but I fear the D will hang him out to dry again in Boston.

Thanks Dani, I'm ok with it, they lost to the better team. Realistically they should have lost by about 6 goals yesterday. They were totally outplayed, but Hank was amazing. The team just needs a few tweaks for next season to be a legitimate contender.

I'm officially in anyone but Pittsburgh mode.
