It's a new series, folks. Let's win this game tonight at Madison Square PNC Arena and then head home and ADVANCE. Best not keep the Lightning waiting!
Believe in this team. Believe what this team can accomplish. And best believe that there's no QUIT in NY!
Laf with a goal tonight.
Tonight they win on the road and break the Canes.
I don't even think the Rangers have played that well even though I think they have outplayed CAR.
The one piece of good fortune I will mention is after two series the Rangers have played backup goalies (except game 7 vs PIT). and I don't say that as a negative vs NYR - Raanta has been very good, but more as a fact and no one will ever give a shit if the Rangers win a cup, but it's that kind of good fortune that helps build the confidence needed to win 16 playoff games.
So just win.

Nothing wrong with acknowledging that re: goalies. Fair to say the whole complexion of the Penguins series changed when Crosby got knocked out.
And boo hoo with Pittsburgh excuses about that, welcome to playoff hockey. It’s a game of attrition and luck as much as skill to get through 4 rounds.
As a Rangers fan I’ll always wonder “what if” a little bit had Zuccarello not gotten knocked out by a slap shot to the head in the first round in 2015…but crying about it was a waste of energy then as it is now
And about a half dozen other injuries in those playoffs as well, particularly McDonagh playing on a broken foot.
Same here..all of it. lol
Obviously tonight isn't happening, but I'm really curious about Goodrow and maybe even Blais, if they would be available for Tampa if they were to get that far.
NYR have done a really great job of neutralizing Tony D and Pesce and I think we have them off their game right now. Loved how G4 ended.. they're very frustrated.
Igor's "A" game has returned.
Get it done.

There have been 2 times in my life where I was 100% certain my team was going to win a championship: Walking out of MetLife after the 24-2 win over Atlanta, and the 2015 Rangers. That game 7 loss to Tampa is up there among my worst sports losses with the Yankees/D-Backs in ‘01 and, well, pick a miserable Giants meltdown. I knew it was bad news going into game 7 when they dressed Matt Hunwick, and McDonagh was clearly nowhere near 100%. I was really confident they’d be able to beat Chicago and to this day believe they would have.
Let's get this one first.

No but I'll buy you a beer at the game if you get into the building.

My brother found out the same. We're going to Game 6. I have to admit, I am quite nervous about being in such close proximity indoors with so many maskless people, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance and I couldn't pass it up. I might be the only one wearing a mask, though. Haha

my whole family had COVID three weeks ago. As of this morning, my wife was the last straggler and just tested negative.
SO NOW I'M INVINCIBLE!!!
Make some noise!

As far as I know, I've avoided to get COVID (at least symptomatic COVID). But even though I'm vaxed (and I got my booster in October), I'm at risk for serious illness/long COVID due to my autoimmune disease. But it's the Playoffs! I'm just gonna have to be cautious. I won't eat or drink anything and will wear my KN95 mask the entire time.

Thanks so much, LT56!
Could be a good thing, put some doubt in there decision making. One soft goal and the calls for a switch will start.
I don't think Andersen's good enough for me to care if he's in.

You too, buddy.
It'd be nice to see them throw him in Jarry-style. He hasn't played in over a month, could easily go sideways on them.
40 minutes to go. Apply pressure.
