Yes, this series is not over yet. But what I saw after the rangers adjustment after first period is the Tampa defense looked very slow and they had no answer for the kid line. Igor is the X factor making big saves when he has to and vasilinsky looked worse than the backups we just beat. You guys are underestimating our rangers who can play with anybody. Commentators running out of excuses why we win; backup goalies, too much rust etc. Fact is we are good, they have no answer for our kid line and losing that line of Goodrow, gourde and I forget the other guy from that line makes a big difference with this Tampa team
 
Scrums are different now just a bunch of wrestling. Reaves toyed with them. That was great how he bitched out Maroon and rattled McDonaugh. That was putting him in check about the Panarin hit. McDonaugh didn’t win damn shyt here. He hurt the team when he hurt Zuccarello in 2015. He fell on to a good team with TB. I hope someone lights him up next game with a huge hit

Coleman is the other guy who went to Calgary of all places.
 
The Rangers will be hoisting the Cup and there will still be guys posting "Yeah but...". Dominant game physically and offensively, we shall see about the rust which seemed to impair the Bolts when they played the Blueshirts during the regular season sweep too.
 
Great game, awesome win, team clearly belongs, it is nice to see us have a series lead for once, and this will be a close series that we can win.

With all that said, we are playing the two-time defending SC champs, who have won 10 straight playoff series, have won 18 straight playoff games after a loss - 18, and we are saying series isn't over yet as if that is even a question after one game? Asking who picked the Rangers in this series after one game, as if that's now the way it will be? Are we serious. Come on fellas, this team we are playing lives for this stuff. Go look at the results in game 2 against the Leafs after they got whipped in game 1.

Not saying we can't or won't win, we absolutely can, but slow down a bit on the series stuff after 1 game. LONG way to go, despite the great game 1 performance.

So what you’re saying is you still stand by your prediction? Please stop giving us these fancy stats you heard from the media. This team has proved you wrong already lol
 
All I am saying is one game does not make a series, and it is quite frankly ridiculous to act as if the series may be over, or say I picked the Rangers I was right, after one game. We are playing a very good team that has comeback time and time again. Let's enjoy and hope the Rangers can pull it out.

And picking the Canes and TB to beat the Rangers I have no qualms about. Yes they proved me wrong against the Canes, and I am happy they did. Those are two very good teams. We are a very good team also. Someone has to lose these series. Hopefully it will be TB in this one, but either way nothing is close to settled after one game.
 
It seems like one should lean toward picking the Rangers on a Rangers message board especially when they have proven summertime doubters wrong all year. The hand wringing over adding grit in the offseason turned out to be unfounded, doubts about the coach should be resolved for rational fans (GG should have won the Jack Adams Award) and most importantly the concerns about youth development seem silly now as the playoffs roll along. The Rangers scored more goals in Game 1 than the Panthers did the whole series and they don't appear to be intimidated by Tampa's goons - quite the opposite. Who is playing with more pressure now? Let's Go Rangers!
 
I am not going to pick the Rangers just because I'm on a Rangers message board, and I'm a Rangers fan. I didn't think they'd beat the Canes, I was wrong and happy about it, I wasn't alone. I don't think they'll beat TB, but I do think it will be a good series, one we can win and one we certainly belong in. I also think the arrow is pointing way up for the near future the next few seasons, which is exciting. Hopefully I'm wrong again and they beat TB, it can happen.

And Let's Go Rangers is right!!!
 
Who cares what a negative Nellie like you picks if it's not the Rangers? It can happen? - it has happened 4 times in a row this year and counting against the Bolts but for Rangers fans this should be a time for elation so it kinda sucks to see them hand the Bolts a beatdown (again this year!) and have to see a turd floating in the victory punch bowl left by a "fan". Dude I respect that you don't think the Rangers are going to win but there's no need to beat a drum about it, even if it somehow happens nobody on this baker's dozen board of posters will care or shower you with accolades. It's not too late to jump on the bandwagon, maybe Al will let you blow the horn! Let's Go Rangers!
 
So a negative Nellie is someone who doesn't automatically pick the Rangers? Okay, that sounds great. We should all be robots and say if I am a fan of a team that means I must pick them to win every game and series. Otherwise I am not on the bandwagon. No room for being real and not just a blind homer. Seems reasonable. I think I am very grounded in general. Thought they'd beat the Pens, didn't think they'd beat the Canes. Not crazy. Don't think they'll beat TB, but do think it will be a long close series. Wow, crazy stuff and negative, clearly not on the bandwagon.

Good deal.

Sadly Al said Tampa in 6 because that's how I felt before game 1...I honestly think the experience ans the firepower Tampa has will overtake our boys.

Doesn't mean I'm not going to be screaming and yelling and cheering from the comforts of my couch.
