Sorry, 'Nak.. but this isn't the place to play roulette.
Whoever jumped off the wagon and quit already, stay off. This is a difficult spot to be in but hardly an impossible one. The entire perception of the series changes if we win this one game and get back to MSG for a Game 7.
That's it. One game. Take it one shift at a fucking time. It's not impossible and it's not something this team can't do. Tampa doesn't want anything to do with coming back to NY. They've basically said as much. They know.
We can do this. Let's fuckin' go.
Especially with the 4th line playing as well as it did tonight. And as much as I'd like to see him replace the geriatric, AV isn't going to bench MSL in an ECF game 7 against his old team.
Probably a moot point anyway - Zuccs still not cleared for contact and doesn't appear particularly close. Today sounded more like an inspiration move for the boys than anything else, but who knows.

Fuckin right. You had faith (unlike some others.. tisk tisk)
This is the same Brett that posted a "how to handshake" picture in this thread and later said he had no confidence in us winning 2 games?
Just want to get my facts straight. When Brett says he doesn't have faith... this is really a bunching?
Why you got a problem with lacrosse players..?
The Arcster!!!!
Yeah Baby!
#LGR
Too many chances for Tampa and expecting this goal output in back to back games would be foolhardy
Lets do this boys...one more game and Lord Stanley is in our sights
The same voice gets cold with many teams. The Bruins big comeback in the Finals followed by two early playoff exits was the end.
He's the reason that there will be a Game 7. Without him in the nets it would have been TB 5 - Rangers 2 at the end of the 2nd period. What was the time of possession in the 2nd, TB 14 minutes to the Rangers 6?
I don't know about you guys, but even though it cost a PP goal, I liked that Kreider rammed Stamkos twice. Sends the right message that you can't fuck with our Captain.

I know what he was doing.. we had some outsiders coming in and saying the Rangers would basically win the series no problem, etc. Canceling out the juju...
On a more serious note.. I think for us to see Zuccarello again this year, we're going to have to get to the SCF. I doubt he plays Friday night. Very tough to just throw a guy back into action in a situation like this and there's no way I am breaking up Nash-Brassard-Miller right now because that line might be the reason we win this series now.
I like how the 4th line is playing, too.. even Glass. I thought Sheppard especially had a very good game last night.
It's going to be a hard decision. Marty is the obvious guy to sit if we do advance and get Zucc back but would AV actually do it? I don't know.
I'm so fucking pumped about what Brassard-Nash-Miller did last night...the show they put on deserves a place on the list of historic Rangers performances
Of course, all means squat if we don't take game 7.
But you know what - I'll put my money on the fucking balls this Rangers squad has. We've been privileged to see some awesome hockey the last 2 seasons and last 2 springs
LFGR.
And I'm waiting for everyone to acknowledge how right I was on Boyle. #Norris

I was definitely not optimistic - I rarely am when it comes to the Rangers.
Kinda confused for Game 7.
Game 7 at MSG. Henrik Lundqvist. I think I know how this script goes. To paraphrase Mariano Duncan....we play Friday, we win Friday. Dassit.
And for some strange reason, despite a regular season well under .500 on the road this year and a bunch of 23 and 24 year olds, they've been outstanding away from Amalie this postseason to the tune of 6-3. They are 4-1 at MSG this year.
This isnt the Caps coming in here with history against them.
As long as the boys get together for a fuckin' movie Thursday night though all will be good.
There's a lot more experience on our side.
I truly believe if Tampa was going to get us out, they had to do it last night.
Hank with the Broadway hat last night by the way - would have given it to Brass Ball personally, but whatevs. Nashty referred to 'it working last time' though (Hank got the Hat game 6 in Washington) - so maybe the boys are a little 'stitious' too
BTW it was so nice to see Miller finally get one. He's been so close so many times, and he had one helluva game last night.
We played great in game 1 too though and the last 10 minutes of game 4... and nothing carried over. Have to correct that and take away their hope early on Friday.
The games they lost they did so from a lack of discipline at both ends of the ice. Their D has been porous for long stretches, leaving Hank out to dry. But, their offense has also missed golden opportunities. They have had some excellent chances where they were either habitually wide or did not take advantage of big rebounds. The games they won, these have not been the issue. If they play a sound game on D and play aggressively on O, they should win.
Almost as bad as betting against your own team...
With two days off can we pretty please make sure the ice is in decent shape on Friday, MSG!? Apparently a concert thursday night (?) makes me a little nervous when it comes to Friday ice conditions. I know they've done it a thousand times... but we've all seen games in recent years at MSG where for some reason the ice has sucked.

Fuck that - we win and I'm ecstatic (oh and i made $2000 on profit on my tickets Friday), *and* i have significant profit on SCF games 1 and 2
We lose and its miserable - but i've got a free vacation at least
As a Finance guy i thought you knew about the concept of 'hedging' Companies do it all the time - I'm locking in the value of my tickets, son.
You would have fit in quite nicely at Long Term Capital. Too bad you were still in the womb back then.
Yeah Staal has had a weird series. All of our D-men have been made to look bad at some point - credit where due, these young fucks on TB are pretty good at hockey...but man, Staal hasn't been himself
I've been him for years regarding his lack of physical play. (although some seem to think he's physical like Beck).

The roof was lined with armed Soldiers when that went down. Tom Deegan? I think he made out well.

IIRC, they did hedge - but the hedges didn't work fast enough and leverage blew them up.
I don't use leverage and am pretty much always right.
lol - sry.
So I had to take a $7 loss on the sale thanks to StubHub's rapeage.
No problem, anytime.

Dont get me started on stubhub. They've made tens of thousands off me the last several years - so what did they do this February to me and countless others who have not given them a single fraud or even minor issue in years? They raised prices by 5-10% and instituted a ridiculous 20% charge if you happen to sell your tickets on two sites near the same time or otherwise can't deliver for whatever reason.
They take 30% of the sales price on every transaction - no matter if the seller is trusted with proven track record or not. Even banks and airlines offer preferred pricing and service -- but these assholes dont.
Unfortunately, I dont like ticketsnow either so I'm kind of stuck.
