Pre-Game Talk: Series discussion: NYR vs MTL

[Hockey Team]

Price is in the zone right now. Rebound control is looking real good. Though a lack of rebounds hurts Boston a lot more than it hurts the Rangers.

Pretty tough knowing they will need to win in Montreal to advance. Though Boston's physicality and ability to win the slot territory (see Philly game 6) would have been a much tougher factor to overcome.

Yeah, the winning in MTL part is the worst part IMO. Maybe they should bring their own water for the trip.

The Rangers can win this...Nash needs to start scoring !!

Nash has a much better chance of breaking out against the Habs. I wouldn't be surprised if Nash still has nightmares about Lucic and his elbow smashing him in the head.

Do we know when a tentative schedule comes out?

For the home games, I mean.

First game Rangers vs Canadiens will be in Montreal Saturday at 1pm. The 2nd game will be Monday at 8pm. #tvasports

That kinda feels like a slap in the face from the NHL

I'd suggest everyone stay away from the main board. The snooty hockey "elitists" already have their noses in the air saying that this is the worst Eastern Conference Finals in a while and that the Western Conference team will win the Cup. And it's only going to get worse.

Leafs fan here. You guys have the entirety of Leafs Nation behind you. Please ****ing beat the Habs. Thank you.

 

[Riverdale]

Fix the PP and Nash and Rangers in 6

 

[Kakko]

Habs fan coming in peace.

This is going to be an AMAZING series. Original 6 and two great teams. Also you guys have Dominic Moore so I won't be too upset if we lose. (as if that would happen )

Ignoring the one and only Stupid Poo

Wanted the Habs. I believe that the Habs' dominance over us in Montreal is an anomaly and unlikely to be completely sustained over a 7 game series. We got Hank firing on all cylinders and AV knows the core of the Habs well being a former coach there. There's never been a better time for this team to exorcise their demons in Montreal.

Rangers in 6.

 

[ShootThePuckBarry]

I think Nash can breakout against a team like MTL Vs a team like Boston. He really needs to dump the patented butt to the checker turnaround ****, cause it isn't working.

 

[Jarkko Immonen]

Rangers can take this series. CONFIDENCE!!!!

I don't think we're going on the PP much against Montreal lol. Nash comes alive, we'll definitely win this series. We'll need all the offensive guns to put pressure on Price.

When was the last NYR MTL playoff series?

 

[30theking]

well the last time they faced the habs was in the 86 conference finals.

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

With Lundqvist and Price, the games are all gonna be 1-0, 2-1.

Both goalies seem to be in the zone right now. Going to be a lot of low scoring games I think.

Why? I mean, Montreal is maybe not as "good" as Boston (although they just beat them in a playoff series, so I don't know how true that actually is), but they are one of the best defensive teams in the league.

I'd be surprised if Nash scored a single goal, frankly.

 

[corduroyg]

bell center is tough but this is the best possible matchup. boston was better than us, montreal is not. historically lundqvist was bad against the pens and that didnt matter in last series so not worried about that. if we lose this series it wont be because of hank, hes playing THAT well, it will be because we cant score as usual.

 

[Le Messie]

Please, crush them.

 

[Blueshirt Special]

Have we ever beaten habs in playoffs?

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Either team would have been a challenge. The hill is much steeper now. But after this last series I'm thinking we can actually do this. In probably 7 games.

 

[30theking]

Have we ever beaten habs in playoffs?

72 they did. also in 32, 33, 35, and 50.

 

[aufheben]

when was the last nyr mtl playoff series?

1986?

It's probably the "worst" because there team isn't in it.

I never go to the main boards, they are a bunch of idiots there.

 

[Let Blaine Die]

when was the last nyr mtl playoff series?

1996.

 

[corduroyg]

no we played them 1st round in 1996, we won in 6
