Amazing how the ref was feet from Malkin when he interfered and when Brassard scored and missed both calls.

Henrik stole a huge win for them tonight.

Best 3rd line ever.

Henrik didn't steal anything, I think there is a misunderstanding around here of what it means to steal a game. They won that game and deservedly so, had they not bounced back after the 2nd and played better I would agree with you.
 
Rangers get a win despite having the worst goaltender in the history of the sport.
 
Staal/Stralman need WAYYYYYY more credit. Crosby did jack **** tonight, thanks largely in part to those two.
 
Fleury is garbage. The sooner the Rangers realize this; the easier this series will be. Stop deferring the puck on prime scoring chances.

Thank the hockey gods this wasn't a drawn out overtime.
 
I'm eating crow. I freaked out after the second period. Glad the team shook it off. I missed the OT goal partially I was so pissed at Brassard "hitting the crossbar" that I turned around for a second and only saw the ending. It's too bad. Oh well.
 
I thought MAF actually recovered pretty well after his shaky start. I was a bit afraid of that. That guy vacillates between horrid and superlative sometimes.

On the winning goal, he looked like his entire team, panic stricken and chasing.
 
Pouliot IMO was the best player today, but Staal and Stralman should be the story of the playoffs for the Rangers so far because man.
 
Staal really likes playing against Crosby. We have two solid pairs to shut that ***** down.
 
I thought the shot by Brass was in the first time. Too bad Crosby didn't take it down to the other end, score and have it waved off by Brass' goal.
 
Henrik didn't steal anything, I think there is a misunderstanding around here of what it means to steal a game. They won that game and deservedly so, had they not bounced back after the 2nd and played better I would agree with you.

A near .950 save % and we were the better team? We were outplayed in the 2nd and 3rd by a fairly wide margin. Credit where credit is due, please.
 
#1 Lundqvist
#2 Brassard
#3 Richards
HM: Pouliot, Staal/Stralman

McDonagh had yet another poor game. You can argue without his gaffes this isn't even in OT.

I was underwhelmed with Nash. Not nearly as good as his effort in Game 7. Still waiting for him to score a goal.

I also think it's comical Richards only has five votes. He has been one of our most consistent performers all post season, and he scored a big second goal for us, in addition to getting numerous chances. Too many people on here have an agenda against him.

Same thing for Lundqvist too. Too many people have an agenda against him. Thought Lundqvist was outstanding today and the biggest reason we won. He stood tall, made plenty of big time saves (that save with 9 seconds left in the 3rd was about as clutch as you want your goaltender to be). Great game by him. Hope he can keep that up.

Although, there are several fans on here that think he should have stopped both goals, which would have been a 35+ save shutout against the Penguins, and all I can do is shake my head at that. The expectations have gotten stupid. He has given up 2 GOALS OR LESS in 6 of his 8 starts. I'm plenty satisfied with him thus far.
