This is what it's about, boys. Doesn't matter that we trailed this series 1-2 or 2-3. Doesn't matter that we won the last game or scored 7 goals. What matters is winning one hockey game tonight. That's it. Win one game and give ourselves another shot at taking care of what we couldn't last year.
I don't need to pump anyone up for this shit. If you love this team, your heart has been racing since the second you woke up. You know what's at stake, you know how unbelievably huge this game is. You know what's on the line.
If you're looking for a good omen, today's date is May 29th. On May 29th, 2014, the Rangers defeated the Canadiens at MSG to punch their ticket to the SCF. It was exactly a year to the day. Same venue. Let's get the same result.
Let's fucking do this.

score first at home in game 7, I'm no stats-geek, but it's a virtual lock
Caps scored first in Game 7
so the odds are even higher it won't happen again. if I remember my hungover stats class lessons which is not likely

You remember incorrectly because they are independent events.
Might as well have been, there were tons of Caps fans there.
At least I assume that's what people in McDonagh jerseys were... Certainly can't be Rangers fans.

if you say so pointdexter. just score first and don't worry about it.
He added, “I think the Rangers over the last two years have proven to be one of the most resilient teams in hockey. Every time you think they are down they come storming back. Brian Leetch used to say when we played together that there is nothing better than a Friday night at the Garden. The Garden will be rocking tonight. I anticipate a great game and you play all year to have home ice and because of that I think the Rangers will win in a squeaker.”
One of those oddities - but 17 goals in Amalie in 3 games, just 4 in 3 games at MSG... i'm not sure that's a fluke. Some teams are just more comfortable on the road - and conversely a young, inexperienced team like Tampa seemed to choke a little in front of their home fans this entire postseason.

It's actually poindexter, not pointdexter.
YW.
I must not have been around then?
I got a seat for you.
I think it's a mute point at this juncture...
So, 2007?
GDI.

I heard Valiquette on the radio yesterday and he said the Lightning might leave Rangers open in certain spots, to try to induce them into taking more of the type of shots that Bishop has literally never missed in this series (80 for 80), i.e., the unobstructed, undeflected shot from the point. Interesting, but I hope we have a constant stream of guys going to the net and it’s not an issue. Can’t have Nash taking those lazy ones from the top of the left circle.
I'll take that shot every time. Keep it hard and low and send people in for rebounds.
It strikes me as one of those general statements that means nothing (forecheck hard, don't make stupid turnovers, etc.).
I'm pretty sure this is inaccurate. #lolchess
Still 3.5 hrs before the puck hits the ice.
Time enough to kill some hookers at least.
Good luck everyone!
I envy all of you, but at the same time I don't envy having puke in my mouth for the next 2 and a half hours of a game 7.
hopefully I will next year.
I recommend Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager, if you can find it up there. That's what I'm drinking tonight.
No one
Some of you.
A few of you.
Very few of you. But thanks for joining me on this Ranger voyage
