There goes Haula trying to start shit. Everything could’ve been taken care of had they given him the game misconduct earlier on when I said. Refs are an embarrassment.
Schneider laid some big shots on McLeods face. Kid doesn’t fight much but can really throw them when he does
Nah, don’t need that. Last thing we need is someone getting hurt. Just get done with this game and onto MSG for Saturday night.
Couldn't of gone better these two games. Have only allowed a penalty shot goal and a PP goal. The Rangers have been the better team by a wide margin.
This is the 2nd time the rangers won their first 2 playoff games by 4 goals. The other? That’s right 1994! Good omen
I think that may have been the best game the Rangers played all season - that was almost a perfect game. And crazy part is Z has barely done a thing (same with Trocheck), and we are up 2-0 and have outscored them 10-2...wow. And that is why you move heaven and earth to deal for Kane when he says Rangers or bust. You play short for a few games, and send guys down on paper to clear cap space. Team looks scary good right now, and they will be in the ECF if they win this series. This team can go a long way, but first finish off the Devs. Do not get complacent going home. And BTW - on TBS they were talking about who the Devs start in goal next game. Sure V has been terrible in his playoff career, but if they start Blackwood or Schmid, wow that is rough.
One other comment, and I said it before game 1, laughable the Devs were favored in this series. The Rangers have a huge edge in goal, and at coach. The edge on D, and special teams. Maybe even upfront is the best Devs can say. Plus all the playoff experience. That was ridiculous the Devs were favored. And this isn't just about the first two games, it never made sense at all IMO. Maybe NY bias.
The Devils is the prototypical regular season team who blew their load and overachieved. They're not build for the playoffs just yet.
Your last comment is spot on it appears. Young team, a lot of up and coming talent, need playoff seasoning and experience, and also need some more size and toughness for the playoffs. When your go to tough move is to put Brendan Smith in the lineup, you know you lack a bit there.
It’s pretty amazing to go decade plus with never having enough scoring in playoffs and then essentially replace Copp and Strome with proven playoff studs Kane and Senko. This team is built for playoffs.
As much as I was a big get Kane guy, I love Tarasenko. He is so perfect for this team. RW and shoots the puck. Too bad we cannot keep him longer. But if he wins a cup here I'll be okay.... Win game 3 and the Devs will be crushed and this will be a sweep. I expect MSG to be rocking Saturday night, and unlike the Rock where there were 30% Rangers fans, there will be 2% Devs fans at MSG at best.
