Don't worry Al, Mess, mel, I'm not taking your thread. I just have the feeling that LA closes this out tomorrow. Seems like tw Rangers were happy that they didn't lose at home. I know your pushing for a comeback Al, and Most of us are rightthere with you. But I've seen enough hockey to know when teams go up O 3-0 and the next game is at home they usually pull it out. I looked at the Leafs-Red Wings series back in 1942. Leafs won game 5 9-3, 6, 3-0, 7 3-1. Hopefully the Rangers can somehow blowoutthe kings tomorrow. Bruins did it against the nucks and that game turned around their series
It's all good. I just sometimes start them because it's easier for everybody to chat during the games. At this point I'm just glad there's another game. I didn't want them swept out of the finals on home ice. Another Ranger win makes things very interesting with a game six at MSG. With that in mind I agree with you that LA is going to look to come out strong on home ice. Game four was really a game they were lucky to win. The shot disparity after the Girardi broken stick goal was absolutely ridiculous. The Rangers would have to be much better if they want any chance at one more home game.
It's unlikely, but they could use a win where they play lights out defensively and add an empty netter, just to take a little pressure off HL for a game. Unfortunately LA isn't Pitt or MTL where you can really do that. Either way they need a win obviously, however it happens.
I think he has to put Richards back with St.Louis and Krieder/Hagelin I think. Not because Richards is better than D.Mooore but because he killed 4th line completely last night. Boyle Moore Dorsett played really well together and you cannot split them up. Try Krider - Richards - St.Louis. Krieder has size and speed, he may help Richards. Thoughts?
Tooany guys haven't been consistent. Nash, Richards, Girardi, Kreider, Zucc, & Staal. For most of the playoffs these guys haven't played well. Thata why they are where they are
Well, it's not that they haven't played well but have not been consistent. It's amazing they got to this point with Nash only scoring against one team
Bench Richards, start Carcillo, move Moore up to second line and have Boyle center fourth line. Done and done.
