Random thought:

Since when did Willie Mitchell become Chris Pronger? Gave me hope for McIlrath, TBH. Could be very valuable in a series like this.

Islander's fan coming in peace. Jus wanted to tip my hat to you guys. What a great year, and though Kings win it in 5, 3 wins were in OT, those games were so close and tight, those games could have gone either way, and the 3-0 loss, you guys dominated but were unlucky. Closest 5 game series I've ever seen. I thought the Western Conference is the most dominant, but the Rangers showed how good the Eastern Conference is, and how scary the Rangers are as a team, just extremely talented team with a 1st ballot Hall of Fame goalie. The Rangers certainly are worthy Eastern Conference Champs.

You have my respect, and my jealousy, I hope to live long enough to see My Islanders make it back to the Finals one day. You guys should be very proud of your great team, they put on a fantastic show. Congrats guys, hold your heads up high, your team will be a force to reckon with once again next year.

Thank you, Scott. That's nice. I saw it that way too but I thought maybe I am biased. It's nice to see others saw it the way I did. I am very proud of my team.

He was atrocious tonight. Look, the guy played well all year, he's a warrior, but to act like he wasn't pathetic this series is some blatant oversight.

He literally had 3 turnovers on one shift tonight. I don't know if I've ever seen anything like that before, let alone in a ****ing SCF.

Again, he was playing injured. I'm entirely convinced of that.

Just waiting for the injury reports to come out.

Someone needs to check his bank account for any unusual large deposits recently. it was that bad.

Again, I was only defending tonight. He made a ton of strong defensive plays that none on here will ever acknowledge. But **** up a pass and you're an HF scapgoat.

McDonagh can be a Norris Finalist and Lundqvist can be a Vezina Finalist and they would still lose to a team like LA because they don't have the heavy hitters.

So then we get big and lose speed and get taken apart by speedy teams. You have to have balance.

Once again -- please explain to me how he would do that on a split second one-timer. I think the fact that you haven't means that you don't know.

It's human psychology. NYR fans have every right to be steamed that he failed to convert...again. It's possible he could have done something differently too. I don't blame him on that one though just so you know I'm in agreement with you before you go off on another rampage about being correct vs incorrect.
 
I think next year, we see a different Rick Nash. I'm not giving up on him yet.

We get a full season of MSL, a full training camp for Steps and Hags.

By the way, Girardi is getting **** on a lot. He made some bad plays. But the guy is a ****ing warrior. He's a New York Ranger through and through. Proud to root for the guy.

Damn Proud of this team, Yes some guys underperformed and I hope management see's that and corrects it. AV will have a full season under his belt and this team should be better.

Refs Blow!

Why didn't bettman mention the Rangers in his speech? ****** bag!

Speed kills and Rangers have it in spades. It's why they could've just as easily won. The Tortarella style will not win in today's NHL.

I'm disappointed, but I used to break and toss things when they lost. Today I didn't.

We'll be good again next year. Lundqvist has a few more whacks at the prize if he plays like this.

Plenty of talent - you never know with injuries and the like, but I like the direction of this team. Get rid of Richards, use the money for someone who can finish (the real reason they lost, apart from the refs (I can't get over THAT).

He ****ed up 3 passes on one shift. He had numerous turnovers all game. A ton of strong defensive plays, I agree, but he also had about 9 or 10 boneheaded turnovers. Only difference was tonight, they didn't directly cost us a goal because Lundqvist played like a Nordic God.

He didn't **** up a pass. He ****ed up about 40 passes this series. He may be injured, he may just be gassed, I'm a major fan of his and am glad he's with the team, that being said, I'll call a spade a spade, guy was a ****ing disaster this series.

Stralman and McD were unreal. The Staal hate is being overblown, he was fine as well.

I think the problem is that sometimes people want split second decisions to take longer than a split second. And somehow they think that there actually was something to be done differently. Can you imagine the blame he'd get if he held onto the puck and shot it into Quick? Or if he missed the net entirely on his own accord?

I feel for the guy. That should've won the game. Sucks. We came so close to ending it so many times. The pucks just didn't bounce our way this series. And that's what this sport comes down to so many times. Arbitrary puck bounces.

But that's only going by another posters thinking that the one timer was hard to begin with.

:shakehead

Wow you are saying if he took a better shot...

As I recall the puck deflected over the glass about 20 rows...if it was a weak shot it doesn't go over the glass

Ok, but we only have like 2 heavy hitters in Boyle and maybe Dorsett.

Pouliot and Kreider??

Who gives a **** about toughness, the game is moving away from that and this year showed it more then any other.

Hopefully we re-sign MSL as soon as the window opens as well. I believe it's January 1st?

That Nash play was just a great play by Voynov. There's nothing more Nash could have done.

I'm wayyyyyy more bothered by the completely missed open net by Stepan.
 
Girardi was injured, his passes used to be very accurate and he was having trouble even handling the puck. I'd guess a broken hand/finger or something.

We are now 1-4 since 1940...lost in 50, 72, 79 and 2014

Do the losses really matter? We are Ranger fans through thick and thin. We cry when they lose and rejoice when they win. 50 years a fan, and a thousand times I said I'm done only to come back the following day to cheer them on.
This season has been a god send. No one thought they would be where they ended up. Long live the NYR. THANK YOU

Maybe I missed something, but I saw neither really hitting that hard. I mean may as well add Nash in there with that standard.
