The Remote will be on fire!!

wisdom from B in ALB, yet? I check the thread just to see his game rant. Love it.

Keep this beard train rollin'...

And that is a scientific fact

that Neil is playing? I'd say even though he didn't play one game in the first series, it is about a 99.9999% chance he plays every game vs. the Rangers.

arcarsenal : 1:25 pm : link : reply This is going to be a frustrating series because of the 1-3-1 the Senators play. It's going to neutralize our speed game a bit so we're going to have to continue to play chameleon and adapt. Have to exploit their blue line in their end. Karlsson is obviously a world-class player but they're not very deep at the position otherwise. Would be great to get this first game and put the pressure on them to take Game 2.

Yeah, I anticipate another low-scoring series. Doesn't help that Anderson seems to play his best hockey against us every year too.

Hard to take much from the regular season. They did shut us out the first meeting over Thanksgiving weekend. Second game we put 4 in the net in a comeback win which actually turned us around as we'd been playing lousy for a couple of weeks heading into that game. And then the 3rd game, game 81, was a glorified scrimmage/practice as both teams put back-ups in and skated like they'd been drinking until 4am the night before.

and his shitty mock draft picking self. And fuck all the teams that play in a nation's capital, whether it be for Canadia, the US, Red Sox, or Country Music's.

Let's Go Rangers!!!

Fuk Yeah!!!!

The Rangers should win this series. If they don't, the season is a failure.

I didn't sit through three months of bullshit hockey to lose to fucking Ottawa

LFGR

which really fucking sucks!

So a preemptive "Fuck you" to each and every one of you no matter what the result! You bunch of hipster dickbags.

Should win? I hope! They took the season series. All 8 teams left are good. Failure? Nope there is other teams in this area who had a failure for the season.

Canadia is the capital for hipster dickbags. Good luck travelling 900 miles to your weekly curling match, you hoser.

Zipay says he's not playing.

Rangers lineup remains unchanged. Buchnevich, thankfully, remains in the lineup.

nothign else matters

with Karlsson, see how he responds. He's the best in the game, give him time and space to pick out his pass or skate with it and he'll tear us apart. We might be one of the few teams with the speed at forward though to get on him quickly and force some mistakes. Or at least make him think twice about holding onto it.

"Should" being the key word here.

I do think NYR will win this series - but you're kidding yourself if you think the Senators are just going to let us steamroll them in 4 or 5 games. The way they play the NZ can be extremely frustrating - the Rangers are going to have to switch gears and attack this team differently than they did MTL.

I want the Rangers to continue to be physical, though. I think it suited them well last series and can again here - especially against a team like Ottawa that isn't particularly known for playing heavy.

I hope these guys understand the opportunity they have right now. This might be the most "Stanley Cup-friendly" road they'll get.

Need to fucking seize this. We weren't the best team in the NHL at the end of the regular season but none of that matters now.

#LGR

no BB fodder from the reflective one

Let's hope he praises "structure" this series. Lack thereof was his, and the team's, low point, approx. two months ago. Smith has made a difference, as has, apparently, #5's enforced layoff. Still wish #4 was getting SC experience, not gonna happen now absent an injury.

MAB's abstruse, paradoxical observation about "the talk will be sending #15 up to the press box" and yet praising Rangers' 4-line depth still has me scratching my head. Buch will be an interesting linchpin this series, one way or the other.

Our depth in forwards is a strength, but as a group, in terms of snipers, they do not impress, except for Nash. He is our indispensable guy right now in the Iditarod. I hope he has a fuggin fantastic group of games coming up. Would be a sweet story. And let's hope Miller and Kreider are amped. As the big black pirate in "Pirates of the Caribbean" said, with Keira Knightley on the plank: "Too long!!"

HAIL TO THE BEARD AND LGR!!

I'm almost as excited about tonight as the first time I got some poon tang. I could be pretty graphic (I know, surprise, surprise), but I'll spare you the smut. That was an ELECTRIC night. Just completely eye opening and unbelievable.

And THAT's what I expect from the Blue Shirts tonight. ELECTRICITY.

I don't even know where the fuck Ottawa is. I mean, I know it's north of where I am right now, but where is it? Is it near Toronto? Is it near Montreal? Is it in between? Is it like the Bermuda Triangle of Canada? Who knows? Fuckin mystery folks. Mystery.

Somehow, the Rangers Seven-Five-Seven made it there yesterday afternoon and landed safely.

I want the Rangers to stomp a fuckin mud hole in The Bermuda Triangle of Canada. Abuse them like I abused my carrot days after getting that sweet poon way back in 1990.

LGR.

fucking GOOOOOO!!!!

MSG has Giants Live listed amd NBCSN has the Caps game listed?

Definitely on reddit hockey page.

but not the post

I feel like I'm watching an afternoon game in November.

This pbp guy is horrible.

Ottawa gets two golden chances right away, Lundqvist stops them both

.

Wow, Henrik. Excellent saves.

the D broadcast team. Pens-DC I can understand getting Doc and Eddie O., but Kenny Albert on Preds-Blues last night was a waste.

UNREAL

Awesome save

What a save.

shorthanded

on too many men against us.

Officials are doing great. In fact, there should be at least three more penalties against the Rangers.

Both calls looked right. There aren't 24 Stanley Cup banners and overbearing Habs fans howling every time their guys are touched in Ottawa
