If they insist on playing the same game they will lose. If they play with heart like they have mostly all season they have a shot.
As is usually the case with these road playoff games, get through the emotion of the first 7-10 minutes, and then the game should settle in. You would think the start is important for the Rangers given they are facing elimination, and getting the first goal would be nice as well. Other than game 3, which they hung on in the 3rd and won in OT, they have not been able to get that 2nd goal with the lead, and it has hurt them. If they didn't go up two in game 3, they wouldn't have won. As I wrote earlier, I think the Rangers will need to score a PP goal to win tonight.
OMFG! Lavas has lost it with this line up. Maybe hoping Florida will be over confident when they see it and think we’ve given up. Wennberg on the first line??
IGOR is gonna have to stand on his head to win this game. And that might be enough! Just total panic by lav to me with this lineup
I like Chytil at C if he can handle it. I would have most likely flipped Cuylle and Goodrow, and while I have zero faith Wennberg adds any O to the top line, I say give it a shot. Hasn't worked with Roslovic, hasn't worked with Chytil, so why not give Wennberg a try. If it doesn't work, I could see Wennberg and Roslovic flipped. I wanted Wennberg off the 3rd line big time, I think he has hurt their production. At least Lav is trying something different. The only thing I would say is for most of the season we had a consistent lineup, now literally every game we have a different lineup, going away from the consistency that worked all season.
