NFT: Game 1: Rangers at Sens gamethread

and we're a long way from that...officiating in a possible Pittsburgh series will be even worse than what we saw with Montreal, both in Pittsburgh and at MSG

Plays like a Greek god! Unbelievable saves.

But that's because Sydney Crosby is a special special guy who earns all the calls he gets. Let's at least be honest about it.

How did Anderson make that save...crap

We need to capitalize on these opportunities.

Lundqvist makes another crazy save, and Skjei is forced to take a penalty

Good lord. Another penalty.

jesus.

Having a great game so far. Holy ass hairs.

Henrik

I could understand why Montreal gets calls at home because they are the Habs and they're like the Yankees or Lakers with how much they've won over the years. Could never understand why the Penguins, who almost got moved before Crosby due to lack of fan support, get those calls.

1st period over and Lundqvist practically stood on his head to keep it scoreless

Gotta clean it up. We weathered a bit of a storm there - Henrik was as good as you can expect. Lucky to still be scoreless. Though we did have a couple of prime opportunities and couldn't convert.

Can we get him off the ice tonight? What a disaster!

one of his greatest periods in his career

You can say that again -- so I will.

Since it appears than Hank has decided that we are, in fact, winning the fucking SHIT out of this game

There were some playoff games where Brodeur didn't face 21 shots in a game because of the pre-lockout trap rules

no BB fodder from the reflective one 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. LGR!!

Pardon. I started drinking two hours ago. But what the fuck you talkin about?

We need to play Better than that first period. Shake off the rust. Let's go.

Guess its 8 percent ales from here on out.....

and 0 goals

Just adding to the Henrik love over here

Hopefully the rest of them can get rolling, tho last 3 games this is right around when NYR has started taking over...

Sens on D hasn't looked as scary given all the structure hype leading in at least for the 1st period, tho Anderson's made several great saves even if just 12 SOG

...

This might be the quietest playoff crowd in recent memory. This is right on par with our Game 3 vs. MTL.

I've done zero research but I would bet this is one of those series where it would be cheaper to fly yourself up there stay at a ritz two nights and buy tickets off stubhub ... Then go to game 4 or 6 at msg

Rangers PP

Kreider off of the McDonagh shot

Let's go, boys!

I would bet you're right.. or at least close.

but I like our depth over OTT.

Skjei took a legit SOG on our own net

Gotta use the TO here.

Whoever tried making that cross ice pass earlier in that shift.. really stupid play. We had an easy clear and that allowed them to keep in.

AV had to use this TO here.

Anderson robbed Grabner

Lundqvist stones them with a kick save

among boys

Wow.. this is one of the best games I've ever seen Henrik play. And there are a lot of them...

This is the type of performance that just demoralizes the opposition.

Nothing Lundqvist could do about that one

Welp, that's what happens when you give them 10,000 chances.

Hank standing on his head, be nice if someone helped him out.

Awful.

lets take another penalty, why dont we.

we were playing so great late in that series vs Montreal but look like complete horse shit tonight. WAKE THE FUCK UP.

What the fuck is Miller doing

Jesus.

wow. just wow.

Rangers' over-rotation toward the far corner was so extreme, Senator forward had no one within five yards of him. It wasn't what resulted in the goal, but if they don't clean that up, it will.

And Miller looks like his head is in feathers he is so not sharp, a few minutes ago he took his sweet ass time wheeling between the circles and by the time his pirouette was done he had a d-man on him.

MAB, you mean you're not placing my reference to a ten day old post?? LOL

The way Forslund says "OHTTAWAH" is bothering the fucking shit out of me.

A lot of announcers do that. Drives me nuts.

"Lundqvist said no!"

How was that icing? Kreider was right there
