Stoked for playoffs. Hope they come out hard and get that first goal.

Push the pace. I want to see transition hockey tonight. Let's Go Rangers!!!!

We've been waiting ten months for this.

 

[Messiah717]

1-0 New York.

 

[Disturbed]

Fukkkkkkkk yes!!!!!!

 

[Disturbed]

The speed of this team vs this AHL defense is fun to watch. Keep pressing

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Make it 2-0... Score Yandle

 

[Disturbed]

Ugh. PP blows

 

[Disturbed]

Better get some shots on this PP. Pitt is going to start getting calls

 

[Messiah717]

2-0 McDonagh on the PP.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Sone one please catch that pussy Downie with his head down. Nice elbow to his head. Fuckin POS

 

[Stepupstepan]

I am impressed that the team looks so pumped to play in the first game of the playoffs. Means they want that cup badly. Great sign.
The d was kinda sloppy at some points though.

 

[mrmel29]

Good period. Need to take advantage of all these penalties. Looks like glass is destined to get together with downie before this ones all over

 

[strudwickisthebest]

He better. And that rat Lapierre too

 

[Stepupstepan]

LOL...Subban is not even facing disciplinary actions after last night. Per Stephan Quintal, former Canadians player and bust with the rangers.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Glass better not to take any stupid penalties though. Draw the penalties and he might be uselful.

I hope the Ottawa coach stays true to his word and an Ottawa player takes either Subban or Pac out as retribution. NHL doesn't wanna do the right thing, well then you get vigilante justice, which is exactly what the NHL wanted to try and get away from. Wanna do away with cheap shots from goons going after skilled players? You NEED to suspend a guy like Subban for his slash and suspend Eller for his butt end moments before to the jaw of the Ottawa player. Neither got any discipline. NHL is gonna get exactly what they deserve when that series turns into a goon series ala Detroit/Colorado from the 90s

I'd be fine if he took a five minute fighting penalty and took on Downie and/or LaPierre

 

[Disturbed]

The Rangers are dominating this game. Gotta keep it up. Most importantly win the game/series but I would love to see Nash get a goal. The Rangers can beat Pitt without him scoring with their sorry D but they cannot win the Cup without Nash scoring

 

[strudwickisthebest]

The scrubs are scoring

 

[Stepupstepan]

I knew Boyle will be the weakest link.

 

[Stepupstepan]

seriously this scrub has 6 career goals against the rangers. LOL

 

[Disturbed]

Dominating.......yet only up 2-1. Ugh

 

[Stepupstepan]

Did they forget how to pass in this period? Missing guy's sticks on the passes by two feet.

 

[mrmel29]

Need the next goal here or this game will be a lot more competitive than it should be.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Rangers need to come out and bury their chances. Cant let guys like Crosby and Malkin hang around in a one goal game.

 

[Rangers94]

Pitt is taking away the stretch passes. Only have one guy in deep. Need to start cycling and working them that way and then work the stretch pass again.

 

[Rangers94]

Passes are just off. Lots of good chances but set ups are lousy and are resulting in no shots and just turnovers. Need to be better there.

 

[Messiah717]

Can't complain how they have played except for the score. Another game like this would be 4-1 . The Pens shouldn't be within a goal in this one.

 

[Stepupstepan]

sheppard should be playing in the next game. Laperrier and Downie are running around and glass does nothing. Whats the point of having him in the lineup.

 

[Messiah717]

Hopefully Girardi will be fine after taking a puck to the face.
