Hell of a game.

To be honest, the Rangers have had double the quality scoring chances LA's had.

They have like 20 shots on goal from the point or bad angles.

And when you put up that quantity, one is bound to go in, clean, deflected, through a screen, etc.

Most of the goals in OT are garbage goals that the goalie wants back.

I don't care where the shots are coming from. People are making it out like being outshot 20-3 is not a big deal.

It is. Statistically, the law of averages says one of those many shots will go in.
 
They were slow and timid in the 3rd period but they limited LA's quality chances.

Game is up for grabs. If you think the Kings aren't nervous about the Rangers speed you're fooling yourself.

Great game
 
Even if we don't win this game, the fact it is going into OT is a very good thing for us. LA has played A LOT of games and a lot more OT than we have. Doesn't look that way after the 3rd period but trust me, it's a good thing for the rest of the series.

Oh and... Nash needs to lose some weight he's skating in quicksand.

We need to win this ****ing game. Steal this ****ing game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:rangers
 
Rangers played well enough in the first to win this. Now the kings have settled in with their forecheck and just shutting down the neutral zone.

You're right, but it's not as if they were cycling in the zone and hemming us in. They'd get a shot, we'd go up ice and the play would get broken up, and then they'd come back in, dick around for a little, and take another shot or two.

We got outright beat in that period, but not dominated.
 
We have defensive depth.

I don't know what's happened to Staal, though. I wonder if he's playing through some sort of injury.

We're pretty much cycling two defensive pairings because Diaz is useless. We could totally use a player with more defensive responsibility. Perhaps McIlrath will be ready by next year. Moore is not all that much better than Diaz and we may be losing Stralman to free agency.
 
make these people happy

I have a good feeling about OT. LA threw everything they had at the Rangers and couldn't score.
 
so far the story of the game for me is the 3 (or was it four) completely botched 3 on 2s. Those were atrocious.
