The Devils are in a little bit of trouble. Let's introduce them to lots of trouble.

WAR RANGERS

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Need to come out with another tight and solid first. Keep them frustrated, keep them nervous. Another early lead would go a long way.

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

Seems like the refs have been instructed to call sticks and holds, etc. very ticky tacky in the playoffs (with the exception of the Bruins-Panthers tonite where it was basically mayhem on steroids in the last 5 minutes).

Rangers PK will need another solid effort, looks like.

Wonder if Ruff starts B Smith. I think Goodrow would square off well against him.

 

[Alluckks]

I'm betting the Devils throw Smith and maybe Sharangovich out there. And I bet we see some real slime ball shit from them early to "get their team going."

 

[The Gloaming]

Be smart in the NZ, no turnovers, get behind them and grind away.

Let's f***ing go.

Going to have to have a managed start in this one - you'd have to think the Devils are going to come out flying early on. Discourage that, get on the board first and control your destiny.

 

[Irishguy42]

Must win

 

[rangersfansince08]

We had like 20 blocks and only 3 turnovers last game. If they commit to playing that style they'll win this one too.

 

[GG96]

Need more jam tonight

That’s awesome I was lucky enough to meet him and get a pic with him up in one of the boxes!

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

If they commit to getting pucks deep they will win this game and this series.

 

[Crease]

Hold me.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

LGR just win

 

[Synergy27]

That thing that they did the other night. Do that again.

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

Needed to win 1 of these 2. Mission accomplished. We had the pressure in game 1. They have it now. Get up early and let the panic ensue.

 

[MyLoveIsBlue]

 

[Ruggs225]

Survive the first 10 min without trailing.

 

[The Gloaming]

Way too hyped and the game is 11 hours away...

 

[Cygnus 2112]

45 is a great tune (and one the Rangers used to skate out to before the 2nd period back in the day).

Stay calm, let the Devils tire themselves out with all the skating and trying to hit. Then, with less than 10 minutes to go in the 1st, drop 2 pucks in their net to make them sad and flaccid.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Going to need to weather the early storm. Feel like NJ will push very hard and try to hit back on us. Winning corner battles will be big today
