[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]

There is a lot of history, and you can feel that when you come into the rink.
A lot of great teams and great players have gone through those older buildings, so it’s cool to go in there and be a part of that.
That’s the kind of uniqueness of going into those old buildings, that history. The dark lighting, the muskiness, it’s just a different feel.
You miss that or, I wouldn’t say miss it all the time, put it that way. But it definitely makes for a different experience on the ice.
- Marc Staal


At the beginning of last year, I’m sitting there in the tunnel, and you get a grasp of how big the rivalry is and how deep the hatred goes between the fans in the stands.
You can kind of hear a lot of screaming up there. It makes for a fun game when you have a atmosphere like that.
- Cam Talbot


Their starts have been way better than ours all four games. That’s one area we talked about prior to game three and prior to game four.
It didn’t work out the way we anticipated. We’re going to try again tomorrow. They’re playing extremely well. It took a real strong effort to beat them the first time.
It’s going to take our best effort to give them a good game tomorrow night.
- Alain Vigneault

Just FYI guys, it's been announced Halak is in net and Okposo is returning. Gametime decision for Leddy apparently.

Don't care who's in. Hoping to see everybody. Beat this team with no ifs ands or buts.

Gotta make a statement against this team before the season is over.

Looking for a big game from Kreider tonight. If he plays like a beast, they'll win.

Of course hes playing. It would be smart to hold him for this game even if he was ready a couple days ago.

Big player returning for a game. Its a factor.

Could be the last Rangers / Islanders game ever in Nassau County.

Very possible the Islanders get eliminated in the first round against Pittsburgh or Washington

Thats what I'm hoping for. I don't want to face them in the playoffs.

May this be the last game ever at the mausoleum. :yo:

Game is on msg2 for Rangers fans. That makes so much sense.

Beat these fishsticks. No crap starts like last time. LGR.

Of course Okposo comes back for tonight's game.

Part of me thinks we're the team to beat in the East; and another part of me hates me for thinking that. I kind of like being the quiet "underdog" rather than having teams in the west talking about us.

Well, let's see what we've got. This could very easily end up being a round 1 preview. Imagine that.

Need a big game from guys like McD and G. With Yandle now, matching up on the road isn't as much of a problem in terms of possibly getting burned by Capuano throwing Tavares out there against John Moore or Hunwick (not a shot at either of those guys, who played admirably for us, but I mean, Yandle).

This should be a fantastic game. I'm expecting it to have some high scoring. Rangers were able to solve Halak last game. Will Talbot be able to outduel?

LGR

Staying up for this one. I want these pretenders humbled. A team so bad for so long that they probably prayed to be just irrelevant as opposed to a laughingstock must be beaten.

This should be a game that Yandle thrives in. Up & down, fast paced, transition game. I expect him to stand-out tonight.

The team needs to take advantage of the Isles coming off a back to back and bury them! LGR!

It wouldn't be so bad if MSG 2 was in HD. I've asked Comcast a million times when were going to get MSG 2 HD and the answer is always the same. "Its not scheduled to be made HD anytime soon." So instead, lets put the 12 win Knicks on HD!

Anyways, go Rangers!
