There goes Haula trying to start shit. Everything could’ve been taken care of had they given him the game misconduct earlier on when I said. Refs are an embarrassment.

Yes, leave that idiot running around.
 
Schneider laid some big shots on McLeods face. Kid doesn’t fight much but can really throw them when he does
 
Kreider tried to set up Hughes for a breakaway goal. Giving Igor more practice. lol
 
Couldn't of gone better these two games. Have only allowed a penalty shot goal and a PP goal. The Rangers have been the better team by a wide margin.
 
I think that may have been the best game the Rangers played all season - that was almost a perfect game. And crazy part is Z has barely done a thing (same with Trocheck), and we are up 2-0 and have outscored them 10-2...wow.

And that is why you move heaven and earth to deal for Kane when he says Rangers or bust. You play short for a few games, and send guys down on paper to clear cap space.

Team looks scary good right now, and they will be in the ECF if they win this series. This team can go a long way, but first finish off the Devs. Do not get complacent going home.

And BTW - on TBS they were talking about who the Devs start in goal next game. Sure V has been terrible in his playoff career, but if they start Blackwood or Schmid, wow that is rough.
 
One other comment, and I said it before game 1, laughable the Devs were favored in this series. The Rangers have a huge edge in goal, and at coach. The edge on D, and special teams. Maybe even upfront is the best Devs can say. Plus all the playoff experience. That was ridiculous the Devs were favored. And this isn't just about the first two games, it never made sense at all IMO. Maybe NY bias.
 
The Devils is the prototypical regular season team who blew their load and overachieved. They're not build for the playoffs just yet.

Your last comment is spot on it appears. Young team, a lot of up and coming talent, need playoff seasoning and experience, and also need some more size and toughness for the playoffs. When your go to tough move is to put Brendan Smith in the lineup, you know you lack a bit there.
 
Just keep clogging the middle of the ice. Playing along the boards isn't the Devils game.

It’s pretty amazing to go decade plus with never having enough scoring in playoffs and then essentially replace Copp and Strome with proven playoff studs Kane and Senko.

This team is built for playoffs.
 
Vegas just made the rangers the 2nd favorite for the Stanley cup behind Boston!
 
As much as I was a big get Kane guy, I love Tarasenko. He is so perfect for this team. RW and shoots the puck. Too bad we cannot keep him longer. But if he wins a cup here I'll be okay...:).

Win game 3 and the Devs will be crushed and this will be a sweep. I expect MSG to be rocking Saturday night, and unlike the Rock where there were 30% Rangers fans, there will be 2% Devs fans at MSG at best.

I guess that is what 2 dominant road wins will do for you, and the stars look like stars. And we have maybe the best goalie in the NHL.

The Avs are struggling, Vegas is struggling, I guess I can see it. I think the Leafs are going to be a tough out. Right now I say NYR/Tor in the ECF.
 
Kreider being a maniac at the net is always a good thing this time of year. He didn't do it quite as much during this season as last year but doing it now is the main thing.
 
Another easy win, Kane hopefully has quieted down his haters. Garden should be rocking!
 
Well, it's good to see that it isn't that Kane is hurt. He got trashed on the FAN most of Wednesday. Looks like he heard it. I thought the Rangers would have a very tough time in this series. Two 5-1 wins on the road. You could have made a ton of money betting that.
 
Hopefully, 2 more wins and they can shove my pessimistic prediction up my ass. Rangers and Devils both look like completely different teams. Rangers for the better. I agree with Boomer in that I don't know why the Devils are so passive on the PK unit. It's not working.
 
I found it interesting if you look at the Kane goal, when that play was developing, Bratt and Marino completely quit on that play. That's not a good sign if you're a Devils fan.
 
Through two games it is clear the Devs were not ready for primetime playoff hockey yet. They are a young team, and have a lot of learning to do and experience to gain. Hopefully for the Rangers they don't find that playoff comfort until the future.

And BTW - this wasn't too difficult to see coming when you look at the lineups from top to bottom, the Rangers always should have been favored in this series. I thought 6 games, maybe it will be less, but only a fake fan who is negative, and has bailed on the team 25 times over, would think the Devs would roll in this series. Thankfully there aren't too many of those types of people around to troll message boards.
 
It seemed obvious to me that the Debs were too small to beat the Rangers and you can see the frustration on their tiny Debbie faces when they lash out with cheap shots but most of the armchair experts saw differently before the series started. The Debs are like AV's Rangers, fast and offensively talented but helpless against a physical team, adding Reaves would have made them dangerous. I have to laugh at the Debs not being aggressive on the PK critics when they can't catch the puck, as if Boomer's fat old ass could do differently. I'm hard pressed to remember a crisper passing, faster puck moving PP than the one we're lucky to watch. We'll see if anyone hops out of the lifeboats to stretch their legs on deck now that the series goes back to the Garden.
 
To be fair, most in here thought the Rangers would win this series. Only a small few didn't, and one had the Devs rolling, but he bailed 750 times already, so it doesn't really count. From a betting POV I said before game 1 thought it was crazy the Devs were favored, that made zero sense to me.

With that said we still need to win 2 more games. In a great spot, but this series is not over yet. Need to take care of business tomorrow night in game 3, and if we do then it will be just about over.
