4EverRangerFrank Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Time to focus on NJ. They’re going to play us with a heavy game. We have the skill to out-skill them and win. Should be a really good series given the mutual dislike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Seriously, savage Trouba needs to return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 The Devils having home ice really doesn't matter. Not just for travel purposes and fan support, but the Rangers were better away from MSG this year overall. They had a terrific road season.

Sharpshooter Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Just now, Pete said: They had pretty much the same record at home and away. They did, but I thought they were better overall on the road. During one of those hot stretches they did string together a bunch of wins at MSG to close the gap a bit though. At least the travel in this round will be light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a series go last year where only the home team won, I'm not sure much has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Rangers need to jump this team early and let some doubt float into that locker room. Treat Game 1 like a Game 7. Go in there and take that game, and that team will feel the world on their shoulders. We learned a lot last year about the playoffs. Experience is nice, but need to show up for a full 60. Hit these little punks, let Lindy start whining like he does in the playoffs every single time he’s in the playoffs and let them see adversity for the first time as a group. Rangers in 6. LETS FUCKING GO!!!!! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fletch Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Reinstating a daily mantra until the Rangers eliminate the Devils. Wake up. Repeat ‘Fuck the Devils.’ Navigate daily grind, wrap things up. Repeat ‘Fuck the Devils,’ Sleep. Wake up. And repeat mantra and routine. Routine is important. And belief in ridding the NHL playoffs of the Devils is important. This is not a drill. It’s the Devils in a playoff series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valriera Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 This series is about as simple as they get. Physically intimidate and stifle this very small and inexperienced team from the first whistle and this is a short series. Get into a track meet with them, play sloppy in the neutral/d zone, and this is going to be a disappointing exit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamsim1967 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I'm taking the Rangers in 6. But if they allow this team to skate, and to meander to the front of the net unopposed, then there's a good chance this will go the other way. You cannot give them room to skate, and you cannot put it all on Igor's shoulders. It's time to do what the Devil's do whenever they play the Rangers ... show up.

RichieNextel305 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I hope the last game taught this group to hate that team. Because they HATE us. And we need to match up everything here, including that. Have to be physical. I like where we are at. I like what we can do and the fact that the talk is about finishing a job. Step 1 is that. Don’t let these little bastards take you down. Burn them to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 It appears they’re gonna have to move that Billy Joel concert on Saturday for Game 3. I don’t see them doing Games 2 and 3 back to back days, even with the distance. And I don’t see them ever doing 2 playoff games in 1 day at MSG. Sorry Piano Man.

RichieNextel305 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 So after tonight’s games we’ll get everything. I’m sure shit will leak through gradually throughout day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the game time, they could probably do a noon / 8:00 p.m. combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Not sure if there's going to be a ballsy playoff prediction thread, but I'm going with Kakko out scores Jack Hughes in round 1. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
