    We'll see how it goes. Start by winning game 3 and we'll be in a very good position.

    Giants took a safety in the 5th they could have signed after the draft. Ouch

    None of it is going to be easy. Get by the Caps and you have Montreal or Tampa on the horizon.

    Tampa score ot goal on offsides play yesterday and one of hanks best saves 1 on 1 (forget who the cap was) was off an obvious offsides the lineman somehow missed. Nhl is going to need to address that shortly with some kind of coaches challenge or replay when it directly results in a goal. Thankfully it didn't hurt us today

    Just got out of the garden, man place was rocking. Great game, great possession shifts, decent job on Ovi besides a highlight reel goal, Boyle much better and was seeing the open man. All around great game...then I come on here and see the wahhhh we are only up one goal wahhh why can't everything be easy. Its the damn playoffs of course the games wont be blowouts. You guys are great.

    Now lets get Dortmund - Firing Line 1 2, Pacman in the night cap and call it a day!

    Don't know what's expected. It's the same Rangers/Caps playoff drama we have seen plenty of times before. Game three of any series is the key. Lets see if we can go get that one.

    You are right Mess, but I just have a feeling if we get through this real tough series we'll be in great shape and win the cup.

    You know what's expected in here Mess...we win every game EASY and if we make ANY bad plays it is cry and see we stink...LOL.

    Nothing beats MSG for a playoff game Prod...I have been to many games the past two seasons. IF we get to the ECF I will be at a game.

    Just saw the stat on MSG...when tied 1-1 67% of the time the game 3 winner wins the series. That is big.

    Ovi needs to be hit as often as possible. That's the only defense against a player like that.

    Idk if you guys heard it but the place went absolutely bonkers when Staal put Ovi right on his back. Great hit. Man those guys used to have some battles before injuries took him off the top pair

    If the Rangers play their game they're better team. When they get away from it and stop skating and overpass they play into Washington's hands. You can see just like in the Pitt series that Washington can't skate with them. Like they say. Speed kills. Then it's a matter of get the puck on goal and stop worry about being fancy and making the perfect pass.

    The Rangers are the better team...BUT they have OV who is on another level right now. In many ways they are a one line team IMO. But that one line is really dangerous with the best player in the world on it.

    Still the same to me. Slow OV some and stay out of the box and they cannot beat us.

    It's funny, but to me I thought the Rangers actually played a better game in game 1. I think today we were pinned a lot more and a little more sloppy than we were the other night.
