Knicks crowds are louder but Rangers playoffs are louder than Knicks playoffs.

Tight game that Rangers had enough chances to score but didn't capitalize on. I don't see this continuing with all of the different offensive weapons we have but scoring one goal is not going to cut it. Devils improved their defensive play and Rangers need to adjust.
I didn't like changing the PP unit. I thought the first unit had some good looks and shots. Yes, the Devils PK was better but I thought the first unit could break them with more time.
The broadcast was atrocious. I don't know what kind of contract ABC has with the NHL but this cannot be helping ratings. Go find Doc Emrick and make him an offer he can't refuse.
MSG definitely appeared quiet. I have no idea if it's the feed or the crowd or both but the tickets costing an arm and a leg would make sense in terms of a crowd more interested in saying they went to the game as opposed to actually being interested in it. This is why the crowds at college football games are much better than the NFL IMO.

I’m hung over, drank too many Hazy IPA’s, have a bad headache, got 3 hours of sleep, saw the Rangers lose in OT, and all I got was a T-shirt which is two sizes big for me.

Take a couple of Excedrin, drink a ton of water, take a nap, and eat a BEC when you wake up.
Islanders are on now, should be able to take a nap easily. Lol.

It was A good night, no doubt, which is why I was not on here last night. Lol. But paying the price today, lol.
Not blaming either goalie for this but between Hank and Igor our playoff OT record has to be no better than 0.333.

We can blame our skaters for missing the net continuously since the f***ing inception of this hockey club.

If we were up 2-1 and every game was even in terms of play I’d agree but we’ve mostly kicked their teeth in.

This is a bad hockey team.
We've had a lot of offensively challenged teams.

It is the only reason Henrik Lundqvist never won it all.

Woke up this morning still not feeling good about the wasted opportunity. Devils have life now. Rangers really need to come out and get he crowd in to game 4 from the get go. The first period last night was a perfect road period for the devils and we played right in to it. Barely did anything.
The crowd is electric before puck drop but they need something to cheer about.
A multi goal lead at the end of the first would be nice. Don’t like Schmid keep building his confidence, don’t let him get in your heads any further.

I’m sure you would be agree that we didn’t lose because of Igor. We lost because we couldn’t convert any of the 5 PP’s we got. Just needed to convert one of those, just one, and we win.
We didn't but I'm just tired of losing in playoff OT. Though, I guess I'll take our OT record with two game 7 OT wins rather than a slightly better record with game 7 OT losses.

I will say this is the best we have defended in the playoffs since I've been watching. It's shocking because while I think our defense was underrated and unfairly maligned in the regular season we were never a shut down team. And it's not like we're playing an offensively inept team either.

yeah devils haven't looked like the better team in any of the games yet. they've had some spurts but rangers aren't giving them many opportunities to open the game up.

Agree 100% about the ESPN coverage being bottom of the barrel for any other options out there. And if MSG wants to keep Sam and Joe for another decade, and the fans are on board with it; no issues for me. I have other options for Rangers games if I want. But Man would it be nice to have a Chris Cuthbert or a Kenny Albert dedicated to Rangers games.

Zib had some chances on the first couple PPs. Panarin had plenty of chances throughout the game. I think they'll be fine. Those will start going in.

Kenny is the heir apparent to Sam, so we'll be in good hands. Sam started in '84-85, & deserves to got out on his own terms. so maybe he calls it quits in a year or two. 40 years is a nice round number.

Kenny is knowledgable but sounds too much like Marv. That voice is like a fork on a porcelain plate to me.
