QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

“What happened this year I just skated in my space on the left side all the time and guys stayed with me. I didn’t have the puck much, which I hate. I just had to change something. I think I have to be everywhere. It’s harder for players who play against us. I think I have to be more close to the puck. I know that, but it’s hard to switch something when things are going right and the team is doing well and then you think, ‘That’s OK, if it’s working why do I [have to change] and I just make a good pass. But I’m a player who likes to play looking-good hockey. It’s good for the fans and it’s good for me. That’s energy and that’s why we’re here, not for the money, right?” 

— Artemi Panarin on his play this year

This isn't a must win by any stretch, but can we please just beat these people?

[Ozzy]

Big game from the 3rd line tonight!

 

Trivia is without a doubt:  JP Parise at 0:11 of OT in 1975.

Well, it kind of is, but isn't in the grand scheme of things. Having said that, they really need to beat down this team, as big a pain in the ass as they are.

These pissants have been in the Rangers' head and given them fits for a few years now. I'm sick of it and it's annoying. I will say that much. lol

[Long live the King]

CK hat trick.

Just wait...if the Rangers lose tonight, those rat fans will celebrate like they just won the stanley cup either though their team was eliminated from playoff contention last week AND they were picked by many to be a contender to win the Cup this season.  SAD!

That's just the ebb and flow of the season, beat Boston two days later and they are ready to make a run for the SC...

[phillyb]

5-1 Rangers, everyone shows up. 

Fuck the isles.

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc]

That quote from Panarin is so spot on and awesome to hear from him. The last few games he’s been back to always dominat Panarin, lets hope he continues like this in the playoffs.

 

4-1 Rangers, Panarin another easy 3 point game.

The Rangers could win the cup this year but if they lose tonight Islanders fans will just talk about how we couldn’t beat them this year.

Destroy those inbred  MFers!
