This has to be off

Rangers and Kings were pretty equal in the overall chances department

Doesn't pass the eye test for me at all, either.

Yes, that's not correct at all.

 

[Kokoschka]

So...

Step 1 - Don't get a 2 goal lead.
Step 2 - ???
Step 3 - Success!

Also, please get Richards the **** off my PP. I'd rather have McD-Stralman and Moore-Girardi back there. Also, could Zucc possibly be the man on the point for the 1st unit?

 

[Riverdale]

You know what'd be cool? If MSG is randomly a house of horrors for Quick.

Don't get your hopes up. Isn't Richter one of Quick's favorite goaltenders? He will probably be lights out at MSG.

 

[chosen]

I certainly think they do. Mainly because of AV's ice time and quick shift plans.

The Rangers have looked the fresher team in both games. Frankly, they looked to be a fresher team than their opponent in every playoff series so far.

I haven't seen any difference in endurance between the teams. Maybe it will play a role going forward.

 

[mti79]

If I see Beaver on the powerplay, or on the ice at any point in the third period, I am going to puke. So I should probably take a bucket with me to MSG.

If you drink enough, your vision could get blurry and then you may not be able to specifically see Richards on the PP... although, it you drink that much you may need the bucket anyway.

let's get a blowout here! GO RANGERS

Oh, definitely have. I think it's been quite noticeable, to be honest. It's unfortunate that it hasn't helped the game go our way, though. I am hoping the long trip back to NY really takes its toll on LA tonight (along with the OT game).

I agree but I don't think it will change so bring your bucket with you.

 

[Ail]

If they lose tonight I am buying stock in Linkin Park's record label and razor blades.

Are you going to kill yourself because you'd be forcing yourself to listen to Linkin Park?

 

[Ail]

Why would I buy stocks if I planned on killing myself?

Jromolthin pls

I'll post this again.


@KennyAlbert: Jonathan Quick has never played an NHL game at @TheGarden.

Duh. For your heirs. Y U NO ESTATE PLAN, ALO?

I think if the Rangers were clearly the better conditioned team so far, a game would not go to a second OT, unless Quick had been magnificent, which I don't think was the case.

 

[Astoria]

Canucks fan here,

Please, please win tonight! Shoot, shoot shoot the puck... Don't let up and take it one shift at a time.

Good luck!!

So what?

The ice will bother him?

The crowd?

He faced louder crowds in Chicago.

I don't really agree. I find the Kings to be more offensively gifted than the Rangers and I think that negates the conditioning advantage. That's why the games have been so incredibly close and the Kings have been able to take advantage of the smallest mistakes.

 

[RangerLifer]

I don't hit stuff. I just chain smoke and sigh.

And rage on HF of course.

I hit the liquor bottle. Takes the edge off my nerves.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

If all the other Kings players weren't on the ice you'd have a point.

Probably just Kenny musing, is that allowed?

 

[AHB*]

I surprisingly have not broken anything this playoff run. I did, however, break my computer chair after the Chiefs blew a 38-10 lead in the WC game.

I have an ottoman made of wood with leather cushion that is still smashed to pieces from when Richards messed up on a regular season game for us.....that we ended up winning. I glued it back together though.

I'll post this again.

No one responded the first time because it doesn't matter. The Garden is so overrated these days. Just ask the Rangers and their road record.

Nah, I'm a sad drunk. I'd rather just sigh and watch Netflix.

 

[Holocene]

Well, to me, this is a must win game.

Yeah, despite hearing all season long how every regular season game was a "must win" this is pretty much the first "must win" game of the season that wasn't a game 7.

We disagree that conditioning has been readily apparent.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I guess we do. Either way, it's been a great series to watch so far. Fantastic hockey.
