Anybody remotely familiar with the Rangers could've told you it wouldn't be that easy. I was concerned off the bat this morning when I read nothing but columns about what geniuses AV and the locker room leaders were. Can we wait til the Stanley Cup Finals to run those stories please? Jesus.

Still believe in this team big time. But they better take care of bidness Sunday. Otherwise this could get ugly in a hurry.

I predict every series left (including the NBA ones) will go to seven games. In fact if I lived in Vegas I'd try to get a prop bet on that.

That's the rub with being a Rangers fan, you knew that they don't make it easy on anyone.
Truthfully, I thought they played very well last night, the kid from MTL just stood on his head. Plus their lines were jumbled all night. I still have a good feeling with this team. It was a matter of time before this team finally showed up on the local radar. I'm not concerned....YET. (didn't expect a sweep).

Stepan has a broken jaw. It was an absolute travesty that Prust wasn't called for anything on that bush league cheapshot. Hopefully they suspend that scumbag the rest of the series because I'm sure Carcillo is gone too. Not holding my breath.

listening to nhl radio right now. stepan needs surgery-but no word yet on when they'll do it, or if he'll play and wait.

cannot believe there was no penalty, absolutely ridiculous non-call.
carcillo-will he get 3 games? that's the penalty for pushing a ref without intent to injure, and i would like to think he didn't intend harm to the ref.
i think the loss will shake up the rangers...when they failed on one of their early power plays last night, i told my husband this is going to come back to bite them.
i expect better play from them sunday-altho i don't think they played badly last night. but, they definitely need to take advantage of the power plays.

@KatieStrangESPN #NYR #MTL Desharnais on Prust hit: "Prusty wanted to set the tone and I thought it was a pretty good hit"

Right, but Kreider is a dirty goaltender menace. Holy phuck that team is delusional.

Carcillo, ten games.
I think it should have been the three, but that doesnt matter. His rep got him the extra.

That was a tough call, IMO. If those 4 nitwits hadn't all missed the OBVIOUS penalty on Prust, that situation never would have occurred. Then, they make a ridiculously bad call on Carcillo, and decide he needs to be RUSHED to the penalty box? I don't think it's normal procedure for a player who gets a 2 minute minor to be escorted to the penalty box when he is NOT involved in a skirmish? After just watching it again, Carcillo is simply standing there while Prust and Dorsett are fighting. Why in the world did Scott Driscoll think his job was to "escort" Carcillo to the penalty box, as opposed to staying with the fight?

What he did, compared to infractions over the years in the NHL, was NOTHING. Of course, this rule 40 has only existed since 1982. It was, however, Carcillo's 2nd time breaking this rule, which was probably taken into consideration.

NONE of those 4 officials should work another game in this series, IMO.

You think San Antonio is losing 3 games after the 1st 2 debacles?

I don't think Prust would have had a major impact in the series, other than possibly taking out other Ranger players with cheap shots... But after watching the Dept of Player Safety Video, what a friggin joke? 2 games, they spent 2 minutes explaining EVERY detail of why that hit was illegal and unacceptable, then offer up 2 games as punishment?

And of course, no mention of how 4 Officials on the ice could have missed it.

I still don't think Prust is a bad guy, or a dirty player. But that was a dirty hit. I think even he would admit it, if he is allowed to speak to the media.

Hey, after price got hurt, prust said we need to take out one of theirs. He should have got extra for it being planned ahead of time.

Let's go Rangers! Only way to shut these fools up is sending them to the golf course.

From tonight's game:

Ed Olczyk, "In 1994, I brought the Stanley Cup to the Rye (NY) Smoke Shop". Doc Emrick, "Eddie, you don't smoke cigars?"... Ed Olczyk, " That's where I bought my Daily Racing Forms!"..

Awesome exchange.

You're underestimating Yzerman. He not going to pay Callahan anywhere near $6 million. He'll just take his two first round picks and let Callahan walk, if that is truly the price tag.
