The problem also was that the Rangers weren't being nearly aggressive enough on the 6 on 5. Too much room for the Flyers.
That's how to finish it off. We can now ask. Can they finish it off in game six or do they do it the hard way once again?
And we breath...LOL. Great win. Still too sloppy, and need to clean up the faceoffs, but very solid win. NOW I WANT GAME 6................. Let's not even have to worry about game 7 for once. Go down to Philly and beat them. Let's get it done fellas. For once do it pre game 7.
Not a bad game for a team "in a deep hole" We kinda know what will happen Tuesday but can we finally finish a team in 6????
You know the answer Mess. We can hope just like we did in game 2 and game 4, but I think we all know what will happen in game 6...LOL.
DEEP hole. We were buried at 2-2 with home ice. 4-1 loss called by 28. Some of these guys should show some confidence in this team, especially when all they did was what they always do.
Jones is right BTW...would be nice for the Rangers to really show some crazy passion. If they do they will win game 6 no doubt in my mind. They go in with that killer instinct they will win. We are better than the Flyers, no doubt in my mind...NONE. Just need to play hard when up in the series and they will take a two game lead in a series for the 1st time in forever...LOL.
Couldn't agree more Mess. Don't see how anyone can argue it. Doesn't mean we win for sure, but we are the better team. We have proven that. If we play hard like it is a must win for us in game 6, I think we can win it. BTW...the Dom Moore signing has been very good. I really liked that move this summer. He has paid off for sure.
Hate to be a broken record when it comes to Nash but he seriously has his head up his ass. Seems to want nothing to do with a physical series.
Which is why he struggles in the playoffs. He is big and going to get banged around a lot in the playoffs. If he shies away he won't produce, and that is what has happened. Simply put he needs to make an all out commitment to be aggressive and physical in the playoffs, and understand every single shift is huge, and he just doesn't do it.
Three keys for game 6: 1. We MUST play like it is win or we are done. Have to play with that passion of a win or done game. 2. Stay out of the box. Playing with fire. Need to stop with the post whistle stupid BS penalties. 3. Faceoffs. We must do better. On the road the way we were dominated on faceoffs today will kill us. Must do better there.
Staal is a + 6 in this series. He has been great. Our best dman for my money. And I like Miller in. That is my fav lineup with Kreider out. Miller in the top 9. And lastly, paging Hags. Maybe he will show up for game 6. Really hasn't done a thing in this series.
Just that he has been doing skating drills. I'm not sure we see him again this season even if the Rangers had a long post season.
I bet there's an outside chance he could play in a 2nd round series, and I would think 50/50 at least by the ECF.
