Pre-Game Talk: ECSF (4) Boston Bruins vs. (6) New York Rangers

[Jarkko Immonen]

Rangers/Bruins. Going to be amazing. Connecticut is pretty divided with these teams, but mostly because of the Wolf Pack/Whale. Lots of fans of both teams. This will be so much fun. There was a neat column in the Hartford Courant this morning about how New York and Boston have battled in the postseason in all of the four major pro sports but hockey.

 

[Florida Ranger]

So do we start Wednesday?

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Hope we can get Clowe back at some point this series. We'll need size against them.

 

[silverfish]

This is going to be a VERY physical series. Missing Clowe is going to hurt.

Jagr...

Rangers in 6! Steal one in Boston!

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Jagr and Redden coming back to the Garden.

It'll kill me if Wade gets on the board. Please make sure it doesn't happen.

 

[Florida Ranger]

FACT: Lundqvist owns Boston.

Hopefully that trend continues.

Toronto had to go and spoil a relatively winnable series with an epic meltdown, dammit.

 

[Fitzy]

Gaborik giving us some more goodwill via twitter. Wish there was some way he could've been loaned to us.

 

[New York RKY]

This series is going to be a physical beat down. Boston is a tough team. They have less offensive skill then Washington but are much better defensively.

It should be fun though.

 

[NYRSchrute217]

This is going to be an absolute war, but we match up well with Boston. They also have a lot of injuries on defense. Seidenberg missed almost the whole game tonight.

Can't lie, I wouldn't mind adding Gabby to this current roster.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Series can go either way. Bruins are a much better matchup for Torts system wise.

I would rather Boston than Toronto. Maple leafs were an unknown quality with a coach who can be very tricky in Carlyle.

Bruins are straight forward, you know exactly what your going to get. Plus you don't have to worry about speed in the next series.

This series will be won or lost in the trenches and goaltending. Exactly the crap Torts loves...

The only problem with this series: if it goes too long, the winning team might be too banged up to do much of anything in conference finals.

Also, we need Staal back.

Leafs are worse than the Bruins, but matchup wise the Bruins are better. Leafs with their speed would have likely killed us.

 

[Ghost of jas]

This should be fun. Boston is a team I have a great deal of respect for. Rangers in 7!!!!!

 

[Jarkko Immonen]

Jagr and Redden coming back to the Garden.

It'll kill me if Wade gets on the board. Please make sure it doesn't happen.

OMG. Just realized Redden could play against NYR in playoffs. Our former AHL captain!! This is going to be so much fun.

 

[darko]

Need Clowe back for this series. This will be a hard fought series.

 

[Boom Boom Geoffrion*]

Clowe. Staal. Powe. Get healthy asap, please.

 

[MGF0723]

Well good thing I got the overtime check coming next week. May have to make an appearance at MSG

 

[trilobyte]

Meeting up with Wade Redden again, who has fit into his role not so badly in Boston, I am told.

 

[beastly115]

There's only one thing I know for certain about this series: Our 4th line center is more expensive than theirs

 

[AccuracyFive]

Please kill the Bruins. Thanks.

 

[beastly115]

Meeting up with Wade Redden again, who has fit into his role not so badly in Boston, I am told.

I think he's injured. DTD with undisclosed injury. Seidenberg also injured. No timetable.

 

[varanger94]

Ovi proved that he can play on anyone's forth line

 

[NYRangers88]

This has the making to be an epic series LGR

 

[beastly115]

Clowe and Staal would be huge if they return for this series. We need size and physicality and they're two of the best we have in that department.
