In a strange parallel universe, the world famous Kravtsov-Andersson-Kakko first line is about to lead the New York Rangers into the Stanley Cup Finals again, while veteran captain Dylan McIlrath alongside with Libor Hajek shuts down all opposing top lines. 

 

Let's Go Rangers! You can do it in this universe.

It’s quite simple.  Do whatever it takes to win.  Hold nothing back.  Florida is a good team.  If they give it their all and still lose tip your hat to a good team.  But don’t half ass it and then have excuses.

So the NHL has rigged the playoffs. NYR and Dallas both home teams follow the same patterns. Loss, Win, Win, Loss, Loss and are down 3 games to 2.

 

I have watched all the playoff games and especially last night I watched POS McDavid in retaliation of being hit in the corner literally get up and spear the Dallas player but to no avail the poster boy of the NHL received no penalty and/or game misconduct. Even the announcer said, WOW what would have happened if McDavid was a little closer to the left.

 

So it brings me to my Rangers, this team does not have the WILL or Killer Instinct to win like 94. They should be waiting for who wins the WCF but instead hoping to win game 6. If Lavi does not do the following:

1) Zib has to be removed for first line PP

2.) move ZIb down as 3C and Move Goodrow up to 1C

3.) replace Kakko for Othmann

4.) And for the love of God do not start Wheeler

This team is done in 6!

 

John Cooper said last night on the WCF intermission show the reason why Florida beat Tampa is because they play the game along the yellow in their D zone and use fast breaks off the yellow. Plus they do not allow the opponents to crash the net for rebounds. The Rangers pass, pass, pass instead of shooting and if you noticed on one of Trochecks goals when shooting HIGH on BOB he ducks his head and is not even looking. SHOT, SHOOT, SHOOT

 

But if the NHL start game 6 with all the Pride bullshit I will be done after 50+ years. Stop the political bullshit agenda and play HOCKEY, LGR!

Can't watch another minute of Kakko mindlessly ignoring the net like it has the clap.

I left MSG on Thursday night sucking on the common wisdom that now the NYR are in serious trouble. After some period of wrangling with that, I just stepped back and said they need to win one to get back even - which they're completely capable of doing. FLA is not so much better that this is a foregone conclusion. So I gotta trust and have faith. My band is playing a block party in Richmond today and our set ends at 8:00. So I'll be driving back up in the capable hands of Sam and Dave. LGR!

Anybody can beat anybody any given day. Gotta find a way to make it happen.

 

I’m feeling a big game from Zib. I can feel it down in my plums, they get a nice blueish hue, ready to take them to the farmer’s market

I know it's going to be easier said than done, but hopefully they can put the nerves aside and just come out playing angry tonight.

 

Not angry with the intent of hitting everything in sight and taking foolish penalties. But playing angry in the sense that they've allowed Florida to dictate the play and smother them all fucking series. Playing angry in response to the fact that Florida has made them look like boys, a President's Trophy winning team, and embarrassed them publicly (chirping from Tkachuk, Maurice etc.).

 

So for tonight, hopefully they can just go out there angry with the goal of playing their game no matter what. Need to take a hit to make a fucking play? Take it, and then hit back twice as hard later. But whatever happens, do not fucking get smothered and dictated to on how this game is going to go. This team has all the skill and capability they need in order to win. They've just allowed Florida to suppress that far too much. And that should make them fucking angry. Change the narrative tonight! 

 

Let's Go Rangers, Potvin Sucks, Fatso Forgot to Shake My Hand.

And still 2 goals in 40 games Wennberg gets power play time.  I would put Shesterkin on the power play before Wennberg at this point.  At least he can pass.  

No kidding.....who makes these decisions?! It is kind of mind blowing.

There are no excuses.

 

We're where we are because about a quarter of the roster is playing like they don't want to be in the playoffs against a physical opponent.

 

I hope Drury is taking notes because if this run ends that fact is going to speak louder than the exit interviews to come.

Found a penny, heads up, in my bedroom the other day. Took it out, left it in the kitchen and decided to bring it out with me for the game. Told the wife it would be my lucky penny. Took a look at it today. The date on it? 1994.

 

The real feel temperature in Sunrise today? 94.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so fucking back on this bandwagon. Full steam ahead!

 

Skull fuck these flopping, diving pussies, then bring it back to MSG and have our real rats eat their goofy, fake, plastic ones. Scumbags. Fuck them all.

 

Father in Heaven, Rangers in 7.

 

The road back starts tonight.

 

Tonight, we ride. Bring it the fuck home boys!

I’d also like to add we all have our opinions but for once can we all just root for the team?

 

this is the kind of time legends and losers get defined. We will know where they stand after tonight.

 

and yes I’ve already hit the sauce.
