[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]

The first three games I wasnâ€™t too happy with, but I think Iâ€™ve been improving.
For me, it comes down to just battling and just skating.
Iâ€™m better when I play on instinct and donâ€™t think too much.
- Mika Zibanejad

It was important not to overreact. As a group we kind of agreed not to change too much.
We put what happened in Ottawa behind us. We were very focused.
- Henrik Lundqvist

There's no doubt that we had to bounce back tonight.
We were able to get a good practice in yesterday and focus on our process and what we had to do.
That's what we did, we came to play. We won this game, now we're going to focus on the next one.
- Alain Vigneault

Can't watch tonight...hope I find out that we've got a 2-2 series tie on our hands.

..I`m hungry, see you guys later tonight, LGR!! :cheers:

DudMan28 · May 4, 2017

Bobby Ryan is not even close to 100%. No Smith. Karlsson banged up still.

Absolutely no excuse for losing this one. Score first, score often.

NYRKindms · May 4, 2017

Trump will be in NYC this afternoon so give yourself extra time to get to the game if you are heading in

Glen Sathers Cigar · May 4, 2017

Playing with the lead and dictating the pace is monumentally important against this Ottawa team.

The Senators are going to come out with a much better effort than they had Tuesday night, Rangers need to be ready.

Av needs to deploy his defense similarly, the team needs to stay out of the box so the ice time doesn't get messed up and we can roll 4 lines.

Need to come out on fire, feed off the crowd and get an early goal again. Huge.

silverfish · May 4, 2017

Sixty minutes of what we got in the first period in game 3.

Then 120 more after tonight.

LGR

Miamipuck · May 4, 2017

Freaking win, play like they did in the first period Tuesday night and don't let up.

Fugazy · May 4, 2017

Just win! LGR! :handclap:

we want cup · May 4, 2017

Not gonna be able to run up behind them and pull their underwear over their head like we did last time. Have to be ready for them to push back. Wouldn't be surprised to see Ottawa get the jump on us to start.

I'm hoping they feed off the crowd energy again and dominate the pace of play early on. That was a big boost in Game 3.

Larrybiv · May 4, 2017

I'm expecting 3 things.

1. Ottawa to play much better
2. Rangers to not play as well. How could they? Was almost a perfect game #2.

Which totals out to be a much closer game.

#3. Hank becoming much more of a factor in this Ranger win. Shutout in fact.

If Ryan plays, hit him hard an often (Tanner, you there?) Make him not want to be on the ice.
Zack Smith his tougher, so probably can't intimidate him......At least try though, if he plays.

Yep, this needs to happen.

Worst thing that could happen is taking an early penalty and not getting on Ottawa early and then giving up the first goal.

Need to come out hard, exactly like game 3.

Why not

Just asking, aren't these games usually at 7?

Glen Sathers Cigar · May 4, 2017

Hoping that the game is officiated more like game 3 and less like the first two.

First two games the refs were calling every little thing, game 3 was like how the series vs Montreal was: only calling blatant stuff.

Want to stay out of the box as much as possible. We have been better at 5v5.

Jackson Ranger · May 4, 2017

I'm expecting Mika and Kreider to score some goals tonight...

Going to miss also. I will be in the city tonight but attending a broadway play. Hopefully when I walk out of the theatre, will see a lot of happy Rangers fans walking around chanting "Lets go Rangers".

No late game so NBC probably wanted a game that covered more prime hours of the night.

I'm expecting nothing from Kreider. I would suggest most fans do the same.

I'm thinking a 2-1 or 3-2 victory with a classic Hank game. Goals from a D-man and someone like Fast or Mika tonight.

lol I was just looking to use an Animal House quote.....

Edit: yes they are.

Revel · May 4, 2017

Hopefully Kreider heard the Mika interview about playing on instinct and not over-thinking. Kreider playing like an animal would be nice...

Larrybiv · May 4, 2017

Here's a prediction for ya'!

Hank gonna get an assist via a nice lead pass to Kreids as he pretends it's Price barreling in..........towards the net, Kreids in the net........Oh wait........The puck went in also! It's a power play goal!
