Kravtsov won't even get one?

Who is this Lundell their raving about? He has 2 goals in these playoffs, and he's their secret weapon? Please.

The cats are cooked. They have nothing on us.

The Canes were the Cup favorites. This is not a step up in competition, contrary to what everyone thinks.

We will beat their forecheck.

I’ve been waiting all week for a Wednesday night! Lol.

I feel good about this series and Our ability to win against the cats over a best of 7 series.

Let’s come out play good smart structured hockey. Take the body, be first to the puck, and play for each other.

This is going to be one hell of a series. I believe in this team. Let’s stay positive and let’s f***ing goo!

Let’s go rangers!

 

[SeanAveryTheGreatOne]

Man, I hope the Panthers don't lose this game for their sake. It would be embarrassing if such heavy favorites/defending conference champs lost a single game to our lucky group of pretenders.

 

[ohbaby]

I can hear it now.....

Rempe,.. Rempe,.. Rempe!

Lets hope he gives them a wave from the press box

Must win.

You said similar 2 years ago about us and Tampa.This is a damn good and dangerous team we are playing and not to be taken lightly.

@kovazub94 responding to one of your posts from the closed Canes series thread. This model actually had defense as the bigger disparity than the goalies

I would rather fans be positive and confident than scared little bitches. Respect the opponent, yes, but they can absolutely be beat. The Rangers were also coming off of two tough 7 game, come from behind series before the Tampa series. A series in which they were clearly gassed as it progressed. Not the case this time.

They had game three and very likely the series well in hand until the refs and #8 stepped in. Unfortunately #8 is still here.

I am not complaining, it’s just painful to think about just how unstoppable this team would be if its captain and second highest paid defender was a positive difference maker instead of a detriment.

I don't think anyone can take them lightly, just like we couldn't take the Canes lightly. But I don't see this as a step up in competition like everyone thinks. Like they are so much better than the Canes. The Canes were morning line favorites to win the Cup. And they also played an aggressive style of hockey like the Cats. So facing the Canes, I believe,... has set us up well to handle whatever Florida throws at us. No one has said it would be easy. But it is certainly doable.

This is nothing like two or three years ago when I thought we should roll through Tampa.

Maybe he lays a few hits and makes a positive impact. We can only hope.

I know Chytil has been practicing on the third line, and everyone expects him to play game one. But don't be surprised if Rempe gets the call in game one with the Garden crowd going crazy.

We need game one. We need this Garden crowd going nuts. We need his physicality. He played two games against them during the season.

No one loves Chytil more than I do. So I would not be disappointed if he played. But this game one just screams Rempe. We need to set the tone.

 

[RempireStateBuilding]

Calling it, Rangers take the series in 5.

Zib with the game winner tonight.

LFGR!!

They should literally put him on the jumbo tron any time they need a boost from the crowd. Have him dance with Larry. Have he shoot kids with a t-shirt cannon. Bring the crowd hype!

 

[eco's bones]

Well hopefully we win.

Would I play Rempe? I'd at least think seriously about it. The Panthers I suspect will be hitting everything that moves. I'd like to punish their D and nothing like starting out the series like that. That said I'm not the coach and I don't get paid to make the decisions and at the end of the day what wins games is what matters.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Lfgr.

Play our game. Limit dumb plays like zero chance pinches. Be ready for Tkachuklehead.
