[jsm7302]

Although a 2-0 series lead meant nothing last year....let's put the naysayers to bed and rewrite history. Keep it rolling!!!

[RangersIn7]

Keep the pressure on and beat these guys!

 

 

LGR!

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc]

Last game was nice, but I want a total domination tonight. Score early, score a lot and get in their heads.

 

Mika wakes up tonight. 2 goals and an assist. 6-2 rangers.

[Sharpshooter]

Put the stranglehold on them tonight. I'm expecting a different Washington team tonight, but I expect Lav and this team to be ready to go. Keep your heads up.

[Valriera]

Just do the same thing and be physical - they are small, we are tall

[jsm7302]

Rempe gunna Rempe tonight with Wilson or McIlrath. Epic battle incoming!

[Morphinity 2.0]

[Br4d]

Lets go get that dreaded two game lead!

 

Rumor has it that game 3 will bring on the Apocalypse when the Rangers get a dreaded 3 goal lead with a dreaded 2 game lead!

[Pete]

Must be the first time ever on record a bunch of dudes requested "more teeth" .

Maybe, but I hope not.  Again, let Wilson be the fool and sit in box.

Youth movement and 4th line again tonight.   Trocheck line 2 goals, Laffy and KK net their first, and the Grind Line wears down Caps defenders.   I could see Jimmy or Matty net one.   Holy Cow, if Goodrow netted one I'd have to schwab my shorts.

 

When game seems in hand, I wouldn't mind seeing Tommy Willy get a beating.

[torontonyr]

Rempe with a deflection goal tonight.

I think our 4th line is capable of continuing to score in this series. Wash 4th line is shit. Keep it rolling boys. I want to see Rempe leading the NHL in post season goals at the end of round 1

 

[Dem]

Yeah Buddy!

No mercy.

[RJWantsTheCup]

I would love to see Charlie's reaction if Ryan scores on him.

[Dem]

Really hope Laf keeps up the hard nosed physical play. I have a feeling this may be his coming out party as a power forward. We've all been waiting for this since the org drafted him. His game the other night was fantastic. Hope he can sustain this style of play throughout. That line has been awesome. It was even better the other night.

 

Also looking forward to closely watching the Kreids/Ovechkin match up. Kreids checking him in game one was also stellar. If we can keep Ovechkin in check in the series (2 goals or less) we walk away w the series.

[RangersLEETCH]

Expect Washington to come out swinging. Things might get dirty early on. Rempe will be needed more in a good way. If challenged to fight tell them to “fuck off” and skate away. Let them take the penalties. Washington takes penalties Rangers power play can fill the net with pucks and put them away in the first. IF that happens and somethings telling me it will tonight. When a team begins to run out of options in trying to either match or beat their opponent they begin to take cheap shots (some dangerous!), goon it up, start fights. Rangers and Rempe cannot get drawn into this. Protect Igor, Mika, Breadman. The others I feel can handle themselves. Rempe check clean and as hard as you can. Keep the fucking elbows away from their heads please. We do not want a fucking suspension with 5 games left after tonight. Go get em Rangers! Go get em Rempe! 

LGR!!! 

[Scott]

I want to see a ton of juice in their slacks tonight. Continue to show who the dominant team is and don't let up. Curb stomp these fucks, break their spirit and have them head back home knowing they have no shot.
