Mika Zibanejad is now the Rangers all time leading points scorer in a single playoffs passing Wayne Gretzky.

?

Can’t be true

 

[RangerLifer]

Nice try but the jinx won’t work!

Thank you!

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Now the analysts are saying Tampa is officially rusty. ALWAYS have reasons to discount us. I'm sick of this garbage. WE NEVER get respect.

We're playing 2 time Stanley cup winning 3rd stringer, no wonder we scored 4 in two periods.

I'm Russian ya know)

I'm just having fun - don't take me too seriously - in fact, don't take me seriously at all.

 

[Jayan]

Weather teams aint nothing to be scared about..

First some Hurricanes, then Lightning and possibility of Avalanches…

(Seriously what is it with US teams and weathernames?)

(And why aint Arizona names Tumbleweeds?)

I am worrying about this series. Chilly is looking like a player now. He plays Center. Let Strome walk.

I agree, but that's a big step back if it doesn't work. And if it does, you're taking him away from Laf and Kakko to play with Panarin and probably re-signed Copp. It's going to be tough to work the roster next season and it stars with getting a real 2c, or believing in Chytil enough to be that guy.

It was nice to see Kakko get love from Messier during the Intermission Report. I’ve said it in another post and I’ll say it again, he completes that line.

Chytil 1st goal was all Kakko.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

He may be growing into our 2nd line C!

Correct but with Laf and Kakko. Panarin Mika Kreider on line 1.
Copp can center line 3 with whoever.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Who cares, win 16 games and everyone will respect you...

Hell, give me 16 wins in the playoffs and still no respect and I couldn't give less of a shit. Just like as a Giants fan when some folks said we were lucky. Rather be "lucky" and win than lose.

 

[The New Russian Five]

The evolution of this team's confidence the last month is amazing. They are starting to play with some swagger and it is beautiful to see. So many players growing before our eyes. What a run so far. Hope they can keep it up.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Huge 3rd period coming up. We've been sloppy defensively at times. Need to clean that up and finish strong.

 

[mas0764]

Messier can't even be bothered to pronounce Chytil's name correctly.

He’s four cocktails in.

 

[Richard Banger]

It was nice to see Kakko get love from Messier during the Intermission Report. I’ve said it in another post and I’ll say it again, he completes that line.

His 200 ft game really makes that like good

 

[Synergy27]

We are going to regret bridging Chytil.

Can’t be true

I think it's either the most since Gretzky or the most for a forward.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Mika Zibanejad is now the Rangers all time leading points scorer in a single playoffs passing Wayne Gretzky.

most SINCE Gretzky. He's still not close to Leetch and Messier from 94.

 

[TGWL]

All season was talked about as if he were Julien Gauthier.

Who?

 

[Cmox]

My sisters dog .

My nephew saying “Fox is so good” is the perfect end to the vid.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Henrik is off to such a good start in game 2 of his fandom. View attachment 554892

Where's his Rangers blanket?

 

[RangerLifer]

Praying to the Hockey Gods that the Rangers can withstand what Tampa will likely throw at us and we prevail after 20 minutes.

AMEN!

 

[mike14]

most SINCE Gretzky. He's still not close to Leetch and Messier from 94.

Ahh, that makes more sense!

 

[pld459666]

Can’t be true

Its not

Most since Gretzky

 

[duhmetreE]

Get another goal so I can stop clenching and my heart can rest

Being underestimated is one of the greatest competitive advantages you can have - embrace it
