Let's Talk Game 7...

[chuckd3534]

We did a great job getting to game 7. When I left that building after game 4...NO WAY did I think we'd see a game 7. Just an amazing effort to get there.

With that said, it will not be an easy game to win. YES we have all the MO into that game for sure. BUT winning a game 7 on the road is very difficult. On top of that you have to figure Pitt is sitting on a huge emotional effort after these last two games. So they should come out flying.

Teams that score first are 19-0 in the 2nd round, so I think the first goal is just huge. We get it and Pitt gets in their heads and starts to panic like we did games 3 & 4. If Pitt gets it they settle down and get their crowd rolling.

Happy we are there, but we need to want more...we need to want it at all costs. Not going to be easy, but come ready to play and we'll see how it goes.

PIT has all the pressure on them. Blew a 3-1 lead and want to avoid the collapse. It's there for the taking.

 

[chuckd3534]

No doubt the pressure is all on them for game 7...for sure. That is why the first goal is extra huge I think. If we force them to play from behind they could implode. That would be HUGE.

 

[Messiah717]

I didn't think we would see a game seven either but as a fan you always have hope until the fourth game is won. Make no mistake this is going to be a tough game for the Rangers to win but they can do it.

 

[chuckd3534]

Yeah, if you were in that building game 4 you would have been in a bad way...LOL. Forgot to mention two Pens fans were sitting two seats away from me. One in a Lemieux jersey. One in a black and yellow Pens tee-shirt. And they were SO annoying. Talking Pens BS all game. They spent the last few minutes talking about which team they rather play next round...the Habs or Bruins. Wonder how they are feeling right now...LOL.

Not easy to win as you said Mess. Going to be really difficult to win IMO. Need to play with a lead. Like the 7 PM start.

The Pens have gotten tighter and more frustrated in Gm 5 and 6, so yea, scoring 1st in PIT would be tremendous.

 

[chuckd3534]

Not going to make some big statement that first goal wins for sure, but I do think it is VERY VERY large.

 

[chuckd3534]

Yeah, Kreider has been large. I think we all thought he would be a big add, but can't complain about injuries. That being said, him being back is huge. Really sets our top 9 perfectly.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Is it crazy to play Carcillo in place of Nash? It is not like Nash is doing anything out there but kill an occasional penalty. LOL

 

[Ranger71]

Just stick to sc's five point plan and theyll be ok.

 

[chuckd3534]

Come on Step. Talbot over Hank. Carcillo over Nash. Come on bro....

 

[Stepupstepan]

The rangers are totally different team when they score first.

 

[Stepupstepan]

chuck my friend, two words Josh.Gibson

 

[Stepupstepan]

Carcillo = 2 goals
Rick Nash = 0 goals.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Carcillo career goals = 7. Rick Nash career goals = 1...LOL

 

[papadoc080]

It would be nice if Montreal pushes Boston to a 7th game. We would get an extra day to recharge

 

[Ranger71]

Minnesotas giving Chicago a run.

 

[vette322]

Not a Ranger fan - but have to say, a lot of these guys are 4-0 in Game 7's the last 3 seasons, and I definitely would not bet against them in Game 7 of this series. Rangers are not the most talented team, but the core of guys who have been on this team the last 3 years have something in the ticker. No denying that.

 

[Messiah717]

Why would you change the game five and six lineup by swapping Carcillo for Nash? Not to mention it's as stupid as the suggestion to play Talbot which was been proven to be moronic.

 

[Stepupstepan]

It has not been proven, since Talbot never got a chance to play in game 5. I was never saying Hank was the issue. Kudos to Hank for playing great the last two games. Thats the hank we expect. Playing Talbot after game 4 was a suggestion to spark the team, since they looked like dead dogs after game 4.
After game 4, you were shipping everyone out of town and now all of sudden, you have grown some balls again. Please.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

The thought of starting talbot is just plain stupid and would put a huge rift between the franchise goalie and the coach. End of stort

You make some of the most idiotic suggestions and then get bent out of shape when nobody goes along with them. Only a retarded monkey would take Hank out of goal. Swapping Nash and Carcillo makes so little sense it's not worth further discussion.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Look at both players careers in the playoffs. Nash is done in this series. Got booed in game 4 and looks like a mental midget out there. why would you want anyone mentally weak in game 7? Tell me why it does not make any sense rather than just attacking me.

yeah stupid idea. Ducks started a third string goalie and won after losing both games at home. Yeah, it was also a stupid move.

 

[Disturbed]

Rangers are going to win on Tuesday decisively

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Give nash his due although he didnt score he was hitting hard tonight. There is effort.

yes thats what we are paying him to do "hit hard" Come on.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

I wont bash a player if he is giving it his all and find other ways to contribute while not scoring.

In game 7 the first line has to step up. Kreider will. Stepan and Nash? Why can't Nash get a hat trick? Stepan 3 assists....it could happen, but so far this team has made it to this point without a first line
