NFT: New York Rangers @ Tampa Bay Lightning, Game 6, 8pm

Carried the team no doubt.

Just curious why they aren't playing Thursday...not that the Rangers can't use the rest...

clearly First Star to arc for taking out Anak this morning

We clearly dodged one there MAB. Good thing arc stepped up and didn't settle for any panicky line changes.

I figured it was jinx deleted because someone said something screwy mid way through the 3rd... But the thread was a little lower on the page..

I think they can do this. LGR in Game Seven at home!

Great move on AV's part.

in the next couple days to bring this one home on friday night boys. Any superstitions you have, make sure they are taken care of. Don't leave anything to chance. If you shit your pants before the game for game 6, make sure to shit your pants on Friday before game 7.

Game 1: graduation party on Saturday, no chance to get on BBI (Rangers win)
Game 2: home with some time to post (Rangers lose)
Game 3: home with some time to post (Rangers win)
Game 4: Watching it at a bar, no chance to get on BBI (Rangers win)
Game 5: Cleaning up the house after Memorial Day, plenty of time to post (Rangers lose)
Game 6: Did a lot of paperwork during the game, no chance to post (Rangers win)

.

A lesser man would have allowed the distractions to get to him. Very selfless effort. Couldn't have done it without you.

Oh, wrote that wrong, I definitely posted during the game for that one...but didn't post much if anything until the end of Game 4

TB has to be nervous now considering the Rangers' Game 7 success at home. All they needed was a chance, and now they've got one. Nothing is ever easy for the Rangers.

LGR!!!

I'll do my bit--during the game, radio silence from me...will be at a bar Fri night and not on BBI

He showed a ton of hustle, initiative and heart by starting his thread. I respect it. The kid is a true fan.

That said. Arc. You know what to do. All you have to do is do it.

Henrik Fucking Lundquist The King.

but the Rangers have outscored Tampa 21-19 in the 6 games played so far

Game 1: 2-1 Rangers
Game 2: 2-6 Tampa
Game 3: 5-6 Tampa (OT)
Game 4: 5-1 Rangers
Game 5: 0-2 Tampa
Game 6: 7-3 Rangers

Our threads have no bearing on the fucking game. In fact, if players saw this, they would think that we're the nerdiest, geekiest virgins with no lives on the fucking earth...thinking that we influence games because we post on a fucking message board. Ridiculous. Go Rangers

Dom Moore, 18 - 8 in the faceoff circle. On the other side of the coin, Step was the invisible man. He has those games where he just looks overmatched and lost. That said, he always comes back with a big effort, I expect big things from # 21 on Friday.

LGR!!!

Old men weren't reading names from a card, so he was able to focus on the Ranger game. #truefanunlesstheNFLdraftison

Fuckin right. You had faith (unlike some others.. tisk tisk)

This was just the first step, though. I know the job is only half done here.

Little behind the thread. Good to see the King! That save on Stamkos was the best save I can remember by Hank. Great save in a big time spot in a big time game. Can't think that Bishop is going into game 7 in NYC feeling too good about himself.

Is there some reason they can't play game 7 on Thursday? Anyway...

LGR!

They weren't good. I thought we were better. For 28.4 minutes we controlled the ice between the blue lines and Bishop was playing above average in goal despite us losing 2-1 after two. I thought we were better. Better all around. They didn't do much other than what we allowed them to have. Doesn't matter now. We'll go to NY and dominate them again.


- Jon Cooper post game

to give up his spot in the lineup without a second's hesitation.

have the guts to do that so it would probably be Glass or Sheppard. Unfortunately for them, they wouldn't deserve it because both have played well throughout the playoffs. It's a shame. The only forward I can honestly say is playing badly is future HOFer, Marty St. Louis. He needs to sit if for no other reason than to get a much-needed rest, but it won't happen.

But it's probably all moot because it seems like Zucc won't be ready to play by Friday night anyway.

.

Amazing run, this team never ceases to amaze me with their guts

Game 7, the way it should be, what an awesome series

I think that's a great comparison. Not as over the top, etc. But massive doucher. I'm still not sure if he has real coaching chops like Harbaugh.

No matter how it looks sometimes, this is a large sample at this point, they get it done when their backs are against the wall.

Huge game from the top line. Brass is big time. Nash played his ass off and JT has been strong all playoffs and finally was rewarded.

Now game 7 to go to the Stanley cup final. You know Hank is gonna show up. Can't wait.

Good call. That fucking smugness. He's not as over-the-top as Harbaugh, but it's that same arrogance that makes us all want to beat the living shit out of them.

Don't poke the sleeping giant, Cooper.

Hang this in the locker room.

for the Rangers and arc.

Did he really say that? Fuck him. Fuck Stamkos. Sweep the leg boys!

like this: "I like our goal song and we need to hear it a lot more"

17 goals in the 3 games in Tampa but only 4 goals in the 3 games at MSG

for Broadway Hat would be Brett's dad.

Brett, as a 1%er, should fly his dad up to NY for game 7 and pay for his ticket. But Brett can't go, or we'll get another effort like game 5.

So Cam?

2-2 this post-season.

is really an excellent analyst. He completely knows his stuff. One of the best.

was tongue in cheek.

That said, it says a lot that we believe him capable of saying such nonsense.

The difference between he and AV is night and day.

And he's as arrogant as usual. It's all about his club not doing things and allowing the Rangers to take advantage.

Again, his first answer to a question was a fired back question at the reporter.

Guy is as complete douche.

douchebag that will say they are the better team even after they lose. He needs an ego reduction.

Tampa can make a case they weren't beaten in 5 of the last 6 periods.

This is an up for grabs Game 7

Is a lacrosse player who played club hockey and parlayed that and a law degree into coaching AHL teams. Now he's this arrogant suck hole on hockey's biggest stage. Bizarre.

Just saw his post game presser...Guy comes across like a real arrogant asshole (Or like Harbaugh without the antics). Great comprison

Whatever happens in game 7, I love this team.

They've got some Eli/NYG in them (well, NYG of 07-11). They never quit, they never say die, they never give up. I love it.

I doubt Zucc plays on Friday, but it'd make a big difference him on the ice. MSL looks absolutely cooked. Zucc going back to his rightful place on the first line improves all of our lines.

I'm praying that Hank goes into hockey-god mode in Game 7. We need him to control this next game, and the King is due for a shut out. The team is playing their ass off, but I'm not confident that they'll put together a solid offensive output considering how hot and cold they've been.

I wonder how much experience will factor into Game 7. The Rangers are a battle tested that's been here before. Lightning did play the Islanders in ia game 7, but the stakes are totally different here. On the other hand, I feel like the Rangers are playing with fire. by constantly putting themselves in do or die mode. Eventually, it's going to catch up with us tomorrow - I just hope it's not going to be Friday (or any time in this playoffs for that matter).

I do not want to break up that first line. No way.

played Detroit in a game 7, not the Islanders.

And they were very fortunate to win that game. Ice was tilted to their end most of it, Bishop played well and they got the bounces. Detroit did everything but score
