awesome time of year....NY Rangers win seven game series against Flyers and now play Penguins (Rangers won yesterday in O.T.) in what will be an interesting series. Not much rest for the Rangers here...but so far their game is solid (though they did break down in the second period).
Watching Boston/ Montreal right now...always good to see an original six match up.
Let's Go Rangers!!!
P.S. Potvin sucks.
Wow...aided by an incredibly lucky bounce in the third to tie it....the Bruins come from behind to win game two..
Still ....glad Montreal at least got a split so far.
Christ...Rangers shutout again...just kill me already.
Nobody's gonna read this, but I don't care...NY Rangers showed incredible heart to come back from behind and win 3 in a row...their goaltender - Henrik Lundqvist - being an absolute wall when he had to be.
It seemed that the gutsy performance of Martin St.Louis, playing with the passing of his Mom a few day's before Mother's Day lying heavy on his heart, galvanized his team.
If anyone would like to comment on his favorite team in this playoff series, please do. There are some terrific battles going on.
Awesome series! I was at game 4 and after that no-show I was sure we were done in 5.Quote:

...honestly, after game four I was happy to just take one game at a time as an enjoyable extension of the series...but then they played better as a team...and Lundqvist became...well...Lundqvist....and so here we are.
I can't wait to see how we match up against the Canadiens. Those games are going to be fast breaks both ways. Lundquist will have to be great almost every night since Price is so good.Quote:

Proud of the NY Rangers. Many fans, including myself, never thought they'd go past first or second round...but they won anyway and we believed they could go all the way. Got love for the team and big time respect for AV and his coaching staff.
...and what a final game.
...still...
damn I wish there was a game six Monday.
Props to the Kings.

I WAS gonna rub it in, but I've gotta show good sportsmanship like you did. Unfortunately we're in the minority; the haters were out in full force (on Twitter at least) saying the Kings didn't deserve the championship and such. I hate that shit.
