Is it fair to compare Jeff Beuk to Dylan McIlrath? I started watching NHL in 1996 so I did not experience 94 Stanley Cup. Jeff Buek numbers are horrible. He had 16 points during cup year but he played a big role in winning the Stantley Cup, didn't he? My point is Dylan McIlrath, in my view, should have been used the same way. And Dump is totally right, Rangers did effect his development. AV will never win the cup!!! He is not a playoffs coach.
If Michel Therrien was the coach of MTL today I would pick Rangers to beat MTL, however Claude Julien once again will beat AV. If MTL can't beat Ragners by playing hockey then they will turn into injuring some of our players just like Boston did with Vancouver in 2011. Vancouver was a way better team than Boston that year, but because of AV's philosophy, Vancouver lost and Rangers unfortunately will lose too.

Yeah Vancouver lost a tough 7 game Finals because of AV. The same coach that allowed them to win 15 playoff games but because they didn't get it done vs a good tough team in the playoffs its the coaches fault.
I get AV is frustrating sometimes but the guy is a good NHL coach. If Julien was so great why did Boston fire him? Because coaches get stale. Same might be happening here but this nonsense that AV isn't good because he doesnt have a ring is dumb.
If Vancouver had Tim Thomas instead of Roberto Luongo in net AV would have at least 1 ring.
BTW Rangers in 6. I don't love this team but I am starting to like this matchup. Montreal centers are terrible. If Habs win it will because of Price which scares me a bit but I think Lundqvist will play well this series. He is a pro's pro and he always seems to play well in playoffs even if this bumbling team never seems to score enough.

I know exactly zero fans, in any sport, who have this mentality about their team. I have no idea why you continue to troll a message board for a team you are not a fan of. If you don't think they will win that's fine, but to speak with such certainty is just unbelievable.
YOU ARE CHUCK!!
Thank friggin God!
Prodigy,
I am a huge Ranger fan. I watch every single second of every single period of every single game. When they are down 4 goals I do not turn off the TV, I watch until the end. Often it is recorded game because I get home later than 7. I love the Rangers, however I am just mad that this organization has 4 Cups total in 100 years and every year it seems they are further away from the Cup.

RangersFan is even more Chuck than Chuck was.
Yeah the Habs look unstoppable
What exactly makes the Habs so good other than Price. I think the teams are pretty even and that is giving the goalie edge to Montreal. Their D is not better than ours. Their forward depth is not better than ours. We get a huge break avoiding the Met teams all of which would likely beat us in a 7 game series and we get a break starting on the road even though the Forum has been tough.
Rangers had a frustrating second half of the season but this is a battle tested core who have played a ton of meaningful playoff hockey over the past 5 years. This is a good match up for them overall IMO

Price is pretty much the consensus difference from the talking heads.

I think Price will be Price. To me the difference maker will be how we defend in our own zone. That would be # 1 for me. We must move the puck quickly and stay structured and disciplined in our own zone.

Laughable that Glass scores the first goal. I really hope Raanta gets claimed and they don't take Lindberg but I think he might be the guy we lose which would suckkkkkkk.

Like I said Step Glass gets his 8:01 and adds an unexpectedly sweet backhand to the physical play. The Rangers as a team stepped up their game defensively challenging the Habs at the blue line and it was Julien who didn't change his game plan. Hank was the King. Great game and a great start!
