Lots of players didn't play great in that series

But Hank Fast Nash Girardi McD Smith and Linberg were great. Zuc huge goals tonight.

Sometimes you survive and the other guys get going.
 
This series was all Hank. Man. Vintage Hank this series. Wow. Awesome to see. If this team can get the PP going.......
 
Now they can rest up for either Ottawa or Boston. I'd imagine Ottawa will close that one out.
 
I still think Boston is a bit better draw but who knows.
 
Now all you boys can rest easy for a few days. Congrats to the Rangers job well done.
 
YES...huge win. I love that Hank clearly outplayed Price. So much for all the talk of him being done, he just outplayed the "best" goalie in the NHL. Huge series win. I doubted them because I didn't believe in the structure and discipline in their own zone, but they flipped that switch in the playoffs. Awesome to see. Smith, McDonagh, Girardi and Skjei were great. Smith was huge, thank god they dealt for him.

As for the next round, I agree with Jones...the Rangers are better than both. As we saw with many teams in round 1 ANYTHING can happen in the NHL playoffs, but the Rangers should beat either of those teams, they are simply better. Neither is as good as Montreal, and we are better than Montreal. I think we have a clear edge. I see 5 or 6 games against either in round 2.
 
I would "rather" play Ottawa unless the Bruins players will still be out, but truth is I don't think it matters. I expect Ottawa to finish it off, maybe tomorrow, but it could go 7 (hope it does).

Agreed on Ottawa over Boston. If Boston starts getting healthy on the blue line and gets some confidence they would be a tough out.

Boston's top line getting hot and taking over could be concerning. I would think Ottawa doesn't blow a 3-1 series lead though and finishes that one off.
 
Great way to win the series...aside from that Plecanek opportunity in the low slow it wasn't a particularly stressful win either...I was way more nervous at the end of game 5 but I suppose with that being an OT game it's to be expected.
Can't say enough about Hank in this series...so great to see him in true playoff form.
Let those bumps and bruises heal up and get back after it next week!
 
If you look at Ottawa they have Karlsson who is a total stud. After that on D they have a couple of solid/okay dmen, but their 3rd pair is very lacking. Upfront they have 6 or 7 solid forwards, but no one that makes you say wow what a stud. And Anderson in goal is a good goalie, but certainly not great. The thing about them is they play that trap slow down game that will make each game a slow boring pace.

Boston if healthy has a higher upside I believe, but they aren't close to healthy.

But I'll still say it doesn't matter that much to me which team we play (rooting for Ottawa though), I would be VERY disappointed if we lost to either. We are a clearly better team than both. I'd hope for a game 7 first and foremost.
 
Thought we would lose this in 6. Glad I was wrong. I expect this team to beat either Ottawa or Boston as I think we are better than both. D stepped up big in this series. Haven't seen them play that kind of D since the Tampa conference finals run.
 
It's amazing that they won with Kreider playing like an ass the whole series. Need him to get his head of his ass. I expect for him to have a big series against either Sens or Boston.
 
Hank was the obvious MVP but give a lot of credit to Brendan Smith for turning the series around with his toughness. He wasn't going to take it anymore and a lot of Rangers followed suit. Some good hitting and they showed toughness. Montreal tried the bully routine and couldn't handle it once the Rangers starting hitting back.
 
Rangers played physical this series. More physical than I've ever seen them play. Smith is a good defensemen. Should have no problem beating Boston or Ottawa
 
I didn't think there was much chance they would ever win this in less than the full seven but they found themselves on home ice at the right time. Lundqvist outplaying Price was huge. Nash and Girardi were excellent and putting PB was very smart.
 
Hopefully Girardi continues to play well. He got railed a few times and was laboring at the end.
 
Smith was huge. Added an element we didn't have and clearly needed. We'd be F'd without him.

We led the playoffs in hits into the game tonight, how crazy is that. Great to see.

I wouldn't expect us to beat the Pens or Caps in the ECF if we get there, but you never know what can happen when you get that far.

Let's focus on round 2 first, but I am excited we could have another 4 weeks of hockey left.
 
Hopefully the other series goes 7 and they get almost a week to rest.
 
Yes. I wonder when the series would start if Ottawa wins tomorrow? Maybe Wednesday or more likely Thursday I'd guess.

If there is a game 7 it isn't until Wednesday, so we'd be off until Friday or Saturday.

Either way off until at least Wednesday I'd say, maybe Thursday.
