Tonight we can punch our ticket to the Conference Semi-Finals in a cool 5 games if we're able to take care of business. I think we've seen about the best we're going to get from the Pens in this series. Between injuries and lack of depth, they're just not very good. Crosby is still good enough to do the damage on his own as he did in Game 2 but fuck that shit.
Major opportunity to get out of a first round in less than 7 games here, which is something we've not done since Renney was behind the bench and we disposed of LOLDevils in 5 back in 2008.
Klein is 50/50 to go tonight per AV. Sounds like it's basically Klein's call at this point.
No bullshit. Start fast, score first and have them with one foot on the golf courses nice and early.

I forgot what that looks like.
Not to count unhatched chickens, but it sure would be nice to seal this up tonight.
Him and B in ALB wearing their Halak jerseys lately. Pathetic.
Worse than hudson.
And with Mook deciding a Garth Brooks concert is more important than playoff hockey, it's down to MAB, Greg, and I to lead us to victory.
Fuck these fake fans.

Win tonight and the team will probably have 4-5 days off.

I never start game threads. I'm like Eddie Mush from A Bronx Tale - if it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all.

hudson's over there offering his support as well. Pretty soon he's going to just root for every team so he can win the cup every year.
Go Caps.
Real fans don't put on their Ice Girls outfit during the playoffs. Are you going to the Barn burning Saturday? Maybe have a parade around the Turnpike for making the playoffs, topping it off with a Big Mac at McDonald's?
Get the fuck out of here you Islander-loving, cunt.
We don't need this shit.

Garth Brooks at Penn State. But he has great seats!
Although, the prospect of a silent "Fort Neverlose" closing down after yet another 1st round exit is pretty tempting to want to see.
Let them keep beating the crap out of each other for another 6 periods.

I was watching and cheering on the Rangers when you were just a bad idea in daddy's head.
You're a liability. Always have been. The Rangers have been winning despite the glaring holes in your game. Step it the fuck up tonight little guy.
If they lose tonight it's on you. Plain and fucking simple.
Isn't that just special. Fuckin Yinz clownshow.
As for our beloved Blueshirts, for the love of God, please put your skate blades on their throats and do away with the Yinz tonight! See you at The World's Most Famous Arena ...unless of course you prefer the twangy arena echo of Garth Brooks. "Oh we got both kinds, we got Country aaand Western"!!!
Excellent stuff.
Garth rules. Fuck the haters. I'll see some of it on my phone. LGR
Same. Thank God for DVR
Disappointed in Mook, not because of Garth Brook, but because it's at Penn State.
Quote:
The Rangers have been really bad -- and I mean about as bad as they possibly can be -- at ending series early in recent memory. To the tune of sporting a 3-12 record when leading by a game in the playoffs.
That stat can't be right. They won all 3 games in the Montreal series when they were up a game last year and are 1-1 vs Pitt in this series. Plus, we're up 2 games right now not 1.
So, Game 7 wins wouldn't count.

Game 7 wins don't count? You may want to check the math on how many game 7s got counted.
Only games where they were up 3-2, 3-1, 3-0

Keep going, you'll figure it out
No shit, now what's that got to do with the Montreal series last year that went 6 games or the fact that they won games 2,4,6 in that series while up 1-0,2-1,3-2?
Games in which they could win the series while being up one or more games.
Which means they'd have to be at 3 wins, not 1 or 2.

No mention of closeout games in there.

They never led a series in 2013. They were behind or tied with the Caps going into Game 7 and fell behind the Bruins 0-3.
2014:
1-0 on PHI - L
2-1 on PHI - L
3-2 on PHI - L
1-0 on PIT - L
1-0 on MON - W
2-0 on MON - L
2-1 on MON - W

3-2 on MON - W
3-13. It's actually worse.
2-1 on Pit W
They are 4-1 in their last 5.
They've only had 4 chances to close the series out, and are 1-3 in those.
