Montreal is a solid team but there's no reason the Rangers shouldn't have a very solid chance to get to the SC Finals.
 
what does boomer say, 1 second 1 minute 1 game at a time
 
I agree. This was better for us. We get pounded by the Bruins, haven't beat them in a while, and they dominated us last season in the playoffs. They just physically beat us down.

Montreal is a lot like Pitt, skilled and fast, with a better goalie. We won a game against them this season. We lost another in OT. Better matchup. Low scoring series IMO.

Not sure we win, but this is better for us. Just hope Hank is in that zone so much that even Montreal can't get him off his game.
 
Matchups are important for sure. Boston is just not a good matchup at all for the Rangers. Their size would've been just too much again. Montreal can surely win as well but they're a better matchup.
 
On the same page for sure Mess. Now we get excited for Saturday. I am really very pumped. I think we have a real shot to get this done.

I get my tickets tomorrow.
 
I think the Canadiens are a more even matchup for the Rangers...like some of you were saying above, the Bruins are such a big and physical team, the Rangers don't have the ability to match that. Funny though that the Canadiens who are also a smaller and less physical team were able to pull it off against them. It's going to be a very intense series. Gotta watch the shots from Subban and Markov...they have some boomers on the blue line. Shot blocking is going to play a big role for sure.
 
Well said Greyv. And that was Boston's worst nightmare. Montreal just knows how to play them. Even though Boston was bigger and better, Montreal just loves beating the Bruins.

we'll sacrifice big bad Brian Boyle for the shot blocking.
 
Does anyone know what the Montreal advantage is vs Rangers
in Stanley Cup play ? My guess is ' it is huge'.
 
Subban..."I feel sorry for the New York Rangers coming into our
building. Oh yeah, baby." NYR need to reverse the history
between these two teams. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RANGERS.

You're just like Carpinello, Chuck, a naysayer. I think they win, they make it to the finals, and win there.

Lundqvist will have to carry the team, which is fine because he is the best player on the team. I also think the Kreider-Stepan-Nash will have a good series. Stepan got 2 big assists in games 6 and 7, and hit a couple posts.
 
would rather play boston, im a big believer in in the playoffs reg season is irrelevant, its all about momentum and how your playing now, and its very obvious boston was not playing well marchand and kreji havent scored, chara playing hurt, idk, montreal lead almost whole series,

montreal playing very good and suban playing amazing, also we cant win in montreal which we will be on the road for game 1
 
No worries felllas...since the smart people of the NHL and NBC thought a 1pm start time on a saturday is ratings bonanza, I will be watching game 1 via 4 hour delay, another baseball game. Rangers have a very good record when this happens
Rangers win game #1: 4 to 2

You off the meds again struds? Where was I a naysayer? I guess I missed that one...LOL. Sorry if I think Montreal was the better matchup for us, and I said I think we have a real shot to get this done. How dare I be so negative...LOL. Get back on the meds bro.
 
We'll see Sleeps. To me the bottom line is we are in the ECF, Montreal or Boston was going to be a tough matchup, so pick your poison. The smaller speed/skilled team OR the bigger physical/pounding team. I think we do better against the smaller speed/skilled team, but it certainly can be debated. And again either way we were playing a very tough team. So now we just play and let the chips fall where they may.

Excited.

The teams are 7-7 in their 14 previous playoff series. That includes a six-game victory for the Rangers in their most-recent meeting, an opening-round series in 1996 in which the Canadiens won the first two games in New York but lost the next four, including three in Montreal.


But the Habs have dominated us in regular season play.

The Canadiens have dominated the Rangers during the regular season since New York entered the NHL in 1926. Montreal is 328-189-94-3 all-time against the Rangers and has won 12 of the past 16 games between the teams.

And we have a real bad record at Montreal.

New York's 65-200-40-3 record in Montreal is its worst road mark against any of the Original Six teams, and the 1-0 win in November is the Rangers' only victory in their past 10 visits.
 
So this will NOT be easy, but the Bruins wouldn't have been either. Pick your poison as I said. Let's drop the puck.
 
agreed that it wasn't going to be easy either way, but idk something about montreal just doesn't feel right, they beat tampa easily and gave boston the DICK. Im just more concerned that we can't win in montreal since we start games 1-2 on the road being down 0-2 is not something im ready for. Being positive.......... but carey price isn't MAF . our big stars needs to shine.
 
I agree Sleeps. I have the same Montreal concerns as you do, and you know Price will be very good as well. This series will have a very small margin for error with few goals, so if the city of Montreal is in Hank's head or all our players heads, it is a big issue and one that would cost us the series. We agree.

I just keep replaying the Flyers series and the Pens series and I think we played better against the Pens (outside of game 4). And the Habs may be a little better than the Pens, but the Bruins are much better and deeper than the Flyers, and we lose the home ice that we had against Philly. That and the domination Boston has had over us makes me lean Montreal.
 
good points lets see how it pans out, this extra days rest might be the difference of game 1 also i think the 1pm time helps us on the road.
 
Yes, game 1 is Saturday at 1. Game 2 looks like Monday night at 8. I am guessing right now 3 & 4 will be Wednesday and Friday nights at the garden.
 
Locked in for game 4, whenever it is...LOL.

$347.50 per ticket...up from $240 for the Pens tickets...and $200 for the Flyers tickets.

Please don't be 3-0 Habs...LOL.
 
I assume you got two tickets? that's without Fees? LOL... around 700 just to see a playoff hockey game. What a joke the ticket prices have become.

if you're willing to pay for them you shouldn't complain about the price. I would not pay, but that's just me.
 
That price is all in. Got 3 tickets. Going with buddies, so $347.50 is my total output.

Funny that I spent like $800 on tickets for 3 playoff games.
 
Chuck, back in the 80's and 90's, I used to get into every game for almost free. We had an usher/ticket taker, whatever you want to call him that we would go to and we would take half a stub from a previous game along with a $10 bill and hand it to him and then go stand behind the blues. The 7th Game of the Cup in 94 cost us $20.

Thanks, Chuck. It is worse than I thought. No wonder Canadians are
very confident. IT IS TIME TO CHANGE HISTORY between these two
teams. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RANGERS.
 
Shocker...Burnside picked against us AGAIN...3 for 3. He picked the Flyers in 6, the Pens in 6, and now the Habs in 6...LOVE IT...:).

Great comment:

Prediction

These two teams are similar in so many ways, it's difficult to separate what might be the difference. The Rangers' line of Benoit Pouliot, Derick Brassard and Mats Zuccarello has been dynamic but Max Pacioretty, David Desharnais and Brendan Gallagher, united midway through the Bruins' series, has helped take pressure off the Canadiens' top line. For us we'll go with the team with home-ice advantage. Canadiens in 6


Take the team with home-ice advantage...to win it on the road...LOL.

I think the key to the whole series is game 1. Here's why. The Habs are coming off a series in which they beat their ultimate rival. Even by Subban's statements last night, you could tell they are feeling it. We need to take advantage of their glory of knocking off the Bruins. Get em while their still thinking about the Bruins. We are in really good shape if we win Game 1 and that I think is the easiest game to steal there.
