QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

 

[table=width: 630, align: center]

[tr]

[td=align: center]

“Give Carolina credit. They kill with an aggressiveness and a pace, but I thought our power play was a microcosm of what was going on all over the rink. We just didn’t skate and there just wasn’t a lot of urgency to our power play.

 

“It isn’t about, ‘Going here and doing this and doing that.’ It’s about playing hockey on your power play.”

Getting it up for discussion purposes; will do final edits in a bit :)

Now this game is going to feel really weird.

Now this game is going to feel really weird.

 

A 12pm playoff game on a Monday in August, where neither team is in their home arena?

 

Yeah, it's up there on the "weird-shit-o-meter"

[Phil]

[I am Scags]

Weird is good

[LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN]

Go get 'em B.I.B. A stellar effort is needed for this pivotal game; unlike game 1. 0-7 PP says it all. Naysayers be damned. Yaysayers command!

 

GO RANGERS!

[BlairBettsBlocksEverything]

I admitedly didnt play close enough attention to game 1, as it was at the same time as the FA Cup final where my favorite soccer team was playing. my amazing fiance went to best buy in the am and bought a 2nd tv so we could watch both at once, and now its really coming in handy.

 

Game 2 lets get this W boys.

[Phil]

I was only able to watch the first period of game one. This one I'll be glued to, hopefully.

Arsenal or Chelsea supporter?

[Mistercosmic]

even in our worst season in my entire lifetime we still end up with a trophy while our biggest rivals get jack shit.

 

hoping for a NYR trophy too

[RodrigueGabriel]

Less than an hour before game time. Do we know who's in goal?

And will apparently be losing Willian on a free to Arsenal too.

 

Arsenal are busy building a CM group that would make 2015 blush with Willian and Coutinho a loan target

Fuck Taylor! Lol. Congrats on the win, was a frustrating saturday for a Rangers/Chelsea fan.

 

I honestly struggle to see a way Rangers win this one. Will need two russians(or a swede) go beast-mode.

Carp has nothing yet. Brooks has nothing yet. NHL on NBC has nothing yet (though there are SIX GAMES TODAY, so whoa).

 

So...not yet? I'm going with Hengorlex Lunsterkiev

Its been a while but I think Arsenal are finally on the up again. They just have to get back to Euro competitions again. Maybe they sneak there way up the ladder to the UCL this upcoming season, we'll see.

Arteta's been a revelation. They need to do everything in their power to keep Aubameyang and Ceballos, and they seem to have figured out a youthful supporting cast for their strikers too.

 

I'm excited for next season.

We really needed to throw out the regular season record before this started. Eastern conference runner ups last year and a well coached club against a young Rangers club still a season or two away? Yea this was never going to be an easy one.

And do we ever have success against a team with Justin Williams on it? Every time I see that guy playing us I cringe

If Arsenal sign 32 y old willian to a 3 year contract, that contract will be as bad as Staal?s as soon as next season lol.
