GDT: Game 1 (ECQF) : New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils - 7pm EST, MSG2, TBS / (Series 0-0)

[Boris Zubov]

I didn't love our first half of the period, but we had a better second 10 minutes & didn't really give them anything while increasing the lead. hard to complain.

 

[LokiDog]

I didn’t know you had such feelings for Lindy Ruff

Well, the goat kissing part was probably a little ambiguous, but I assure you, my full affection belongs to Mr. R. Lindgren, certified maniac & madman extraordinaire.

 

[Leonardo87]

Say what you want about that period, We capitalized when we needed to. Devils inexperience is showing , have to try and get back on the attack.

PK has been beyond excellent tonight.

 

[will1066]

I love that all 3 goals have been greasy in traffic

 

[Cmox]

So did motte close his hand on the puck or are you not allowed to flick it back? I didn't see a close

 

[RickChartraw]

not seeing it with kane. hope i'm wrong

I was told experience didn’t matter.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

Great recovery the last 8 mins or so.

The Devils have had one 1 legitimate scoring chance in the entire game when Igor stopped Hughes from scoring a beauty.

 

[mike14]

either I'm already drunk or that was the longest period of the season

Cos we iced the puck every 7 seconds...

Limited them to 7 shots for the period. Overall our attention to detail in our end has been great

 

[LOFIN]

You’re goddamn right Sam

 

[offdacrossbar]

Another effective road period.

So far, hard to dislike much tonight.

Defensively we've been money. Mikko has been really good.

Kaner doesn't seem to be going at all

 

[DialUp]

2nd half of the period much better than the 1st.

The Devils now have to turn on a new gear, because they have played their game, aside from Hughes being eh, and are getting no where offensively. They remind me of Carolina right now.

 

[will1066]

Dude, Lindgren shot that before Vanacek moved off the post like he anticipated it, unlike Joe and Sam saying he waited until Vitek moved

 

[The Gloaming]

PK and Goody have been awesome.

Good period overall but I hope its sustainable being opportunistic like that

Now that is kekalicious

 

[TGWL]

Very nervous for a 3rd period turtle against the best comeback team.

 

[will1066]

O'Reilly taking time off from auto parts empire to score playoff power play goals

 

[The Gloaming]

That second period was literally 42 years long.

 

[Kane One]

You’re goddamn right Sam

That’s a movie I’d watch

 

[Bob Richards]

Devils are a good team and aren't going to lay down and die for us.

Good to see the Rangers weather that surge though.

 

[Leonardo87]

Good period overall but I hope its sustainable being opportunistic like that

No one is going to play perfect hockey. Not even Boston did last night. You weather the storm, try to get the momentum back on your side. Rangers have enough skill that they can tilt the ice. It’s just a question of when they want to put that effort into it.

 

[FinRanger]

Number 88 on the Rangers looks like a fan who won an experience on ice with New York Rangers in actual NHL game.

He's the kind of player you just expect is going to win some Stanley Cups.

It's not just you.
