Nash's legacy/reputation on the line tonight.

If he doesn't score tonight, and the Rangers get eliminated, he will never be able to shake the playoff choker label for the remainder of his career.

Needs to score. Tired of waiting for him to produce as much as guys like Boyle, Moore, Carcillo, etc. Even Asham outscored him last season.

SCORE A ****ING GOAL.

KEYS TO GAME:

Special teams. Need to stay out of the box. Need to score on a PP.

McDonagh/Girardi need to rebound. McDonagh has been atrocious this series.

Henrik needs to make the big saves.

Nash needs to SCORE.

Losing in 7 to a team you had 2 more points than isn't a choke job.

I don't know why our fans have such inflated ego's that they were expecting to run over a team, like us, who played their best hockey in the second half.

This series was a coin flip from Game 1.

Because he's better than carcillo?

That's up for debate. If you would have ask me that a year ago, I would have answer arrogant that Carcillo is just useless piece of **** and oh was I pissed when we traded for him, since his time as a Flyer there was few if any player I disliked in this league as much as Dan. But since coming here he has been nothing but useful, doesn't take many stupid penalties something that Dorsett have a tenancy to do but still manage to be a guy the opposition just can't stand. Would also say he's better with the puck and away from it. Dorsett got hands of stone.

In defense of Macdonough he is clearly playing at 50%. I mean he is playing with one arm and nearly broke his wrist a few games ago. Now Girardi on the other hand was terrible last night. His 2 stupid turnovers led to goals last night

Don't care. A lot of players are toughing it out in the post season. To me that's an excuse. If you're elite (which I don't believe McDonagh is, YET) like many of our fans believe him to be, you need to be at least making smarter decisions with the puck. A handful, literally a handful of goals, this series, can be directly attributed to McDonagh gaffes. That's unacceptable. And if he is just playing at 50% and can't be an impact player, AV needs to sit him (in contrast, he is giving him 25 minutes a night to look brutal out there).

He is making dumb hockey plays, and has been our worst defense man in this series. By a mile.

It's the playoffs. Players play hurt. I'm not looking for him to be a game breaker if he isn't 100%. I do expect him to be smarter with the puck though. He's been about as dumb as Hagelin out there (okay, now I know I'm being hard on him).

Lol, any elite player would look bad if they suffered the same injury McD did.

The only thing you can really say is that he shouldn't be out there if that is the case.

RELAX. Im not making excuses for him because i agree he has been terrible BUT at teh same time we know when Macdonough is close to 100% he is a beast. Its easy to say "forget the pain" but if you are playing 25 minutes with basically 1 arm and teh flyers are targeting you every shift it does effect your play
 
Carcillo is a better player than Dorsett. The only thing Dorsett is better at is skating and losing fights. I posted this in the pre-game talk.

The Rangers need what Carcillo brings to the table, and I don't know why Miller is in there contributing nothing, while Carcillo made quite obvious contributions in his limited minutes.

This game will be won/lost behind the goal line and in front of the crease. The Rangers need to get some dirty goals and crash the net, which means only the Zuccarello line has a chance of scoring tonight.
