I bet Chytil was just the flu or whatever that everyone else was getting., and he’ll be ready

That would be nice, but I find it hard to believe that bug caused no one to miss a game and Chytil to miss 3.  I mean maybe they were being cautious give the history.  Man I hope you're right.

What was the adjustment they made tonight? Tell the post behind Igor to make two saves before they could muster a comeback?

A little more traffic in front of the net?  Carolina was packing it in and giving the perimeter.  They also managed to break the zone with some control rather than get to the red ine and dump.   Your points aren't lost on me however.

Let's see what a Mark Messier Leadership Award winner can bring to a team.

All I ask tomorrow is 2 things.  No blinking at the moment, play loose.  Don't get out worked.  

I'm going to talk out of both sides of my mouth.

I'd rather be us than them.  2 games to win 1.  

3-2 is 3-2 no matter how you got there....

but

Sometimes the team that was 3- 0 gets in their heads.

When you've got a good team like that on the ropes and don't finish them, you give them life.

20 minutes away from putting them away. Let's match their desperation and intensity.

Chytil seems good to go.

 

Wheeler? Now that’s a surprise.

Wheeler...good news?  Please don't play him.

Chytil on the ice but Brodz taking rushes.  

I'm hopeful it's not concussion related. If it were, would he really be a game time decision??  He'd be shut down no?

Win this period.  Crush their souls.

Part of me wants to LOL since Andersen hasn't been the problem at all. But the other part of me just got scary Akira Schmid "Rangers face world-beater backups" vibes.

Maybe this kid blinks just one game.  And poof we're up 3 - 0

Their barn is going to be rocking tonight (with Rangers fans)

I heard they restricted sales.  If you have a High School diploma or a full set of teeth you can't buy a ticket. 

I went to bed before the 2nd OT...which was stupid because I tossed and turned all night wondering who won. Clocking in at 4:30 sucks.
 

Never again, I'd rather be exhausted from actually watching.  

It's the new game plan.  Rempe gets 2 minutes for being too tall.  We kill the penalty.  They retaliate or the refs give us the make up call.  We go up 1 - 0

Rempe is a marked man and it's getting old.

As will the Canes against the Rangers.

Is that series over?

Early goal plz.  The playoffs are not a time for sitting back and sussing out the game.

Especially against these guys.  They fall behind early and it takes them out of their game plan.

I'd like to see Panarin get one early.  If he gets blanked in game one I'd rather those old thoughts not creep into everyone's head.  Not that the board blow up wouldn't be interesting. 

The stats from Brooksie were convincing.  But as my old gambling buddies used to ask....  " Gun to your head" which team do you want to have to win to save your life?

I'm taking this year's team.  

I've said before, I expect an athlete to not care.  But as a fan those preferences are not a concern.  I'd rather not play Tampa. 

I don't wish anything bad on him, but the metrics call for a decline and injury for a RB in the league that long.

There's no need to make another move.  All the pieces the Rangers need are already on the roster.  Just need to motivate them to do the things that need to be done.

Agree. But if the price on Vatrano levels off I do it.

Happy this didn't happen. Not worth the price. Make it Buch or Vatrano please to give us two years of consistency in the top 6. Please. Please.

I agree with this 100%  assuming you can seperate my disappointment that he's in Carolina.

1. I wouldn't touch Panarin/Tro/Laff
2. Get Tank cheap for CK and Zibby, 
3. Roll with Jonny Brodz as 3C.
4. Also keep Edstrom.  That guy's an animal on the boards!
5. Prosper!

That's the real silver lining.  I thought RW was more of a priority than center.  Now it is.  I'm ok with Tro at 2C.

I don't think Blake Wheeler is going anywhere.....

That's what I say every time he has the puck.  If we get an upgrade at RW and fits in somewhere else...fine.  Don't rule out releasing him.
