There is no doubt Prust knew what he was doing. He was the biggest whiner when Price got hurt. He knew what he wanted to do ever since then. That is clear. Funny thing is you would think as a former teammate Prust wouldn't go cheap shot, but I guess that stuff doesn't matter.
That's two late hits by Montreal in this series that have knocked Rangers out of games. Brassard was before Price on a hit you could make an argument either way about. The Prust hit on Stepan was clear cut intent to injure and he should be gone for the series.
Now that Stepan is hurt I would think 2 games is the minimum, and 4 is possible (max for the series). BTW...I think this means even more so we win game 4. This team will be ON FIRE Sunday night. We win game 4, and worst case win the series in 6 IMO. The SCF is a whole other story without Stepan.
Put Miller in and bump Richards up, it's not like Stepan has been setting the world on fire anyways. I think this is going to go 7 now, MTL won't lose game 5 at home and will probably win one of the next 2 here imo.
Flat out disagree sc. No reason AT ALL for this to go 7...NONE. We win game 4 for sure IMO. No way we should go 7 up 3-1. And if we go 7 we lose this series, and have no shot in the SCF IMO.
Maybe they win game 4, but I don't see Mtl losing game 5 either way. Whether they could close it out in game 6 who knows. I agree if they win in 7 it may hurt them, but the layoff in between the SC could give them 2-3 days rest.
I don't think they win a game 7 in this series (Saturday night in Montreal blowing a 2-0 lead), but I also do not think we get to game 7. THEY WILL WIN GAME 4....I 1000000000000% GUARANTEE IT.
Rangers are going to win this series in 5 or 6, most likely 5 Last night was a really WEIRD game. Major penalties that were not called. TONS of great scoring chances where multiple Ranger players didnt get all of the puck on shots. Montreal scores 2 goals off either Ranger skate or their own players body in OT. Just a strange game but the Rangers controlled the play vs a desperate Habs team. They will win 3-1 on Sunday and they have an excellent chance to close it out on Tuesday. I would be more concrerned if I didnt actually watch the entire game yesterday. That is the best Montreal has in a must win game???? Rangers got this.
