[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]

It was my first game, my first game on the PP. The guys helped me right away before the game. Marty talked to me about how we’re going to play. It helps you a lot to know what to expect
I tried to find right away the rhythm, my first shift, try to go on the attack as well, move your legs.
- Raphael Diaz

We’ve got to be more ready and now all these games are playoff style. It was a good defensive effort.
They had some good looks but all credit to Hank, he was really good again. He made some huge saves when we needed to. He deserved the shutout. It’s a great feeling.
We had a real emotional game last night. Another one tonight. The best part is the fans. I love scoring on the road and hearing cheers.
- Rick Nash

I know our guys want to do well. They’re competing real hard. They’re preparing themselves. The mindset tonight was the mindset that you have at this time of the year.
You’re in playoff hockey. You’ve got to play hard at both ends and that’s what our guys did.
- Alain Vigneault​

[Kakko]

This is the game MSL breaks out

For like the 6th time.

 

[aufheben]

Please score little guy.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

MSL needs to really get the money off his back.

Is that even possible? cause the monkey and MSL are about the same height....

 

[AHB*]

Do any of you guys know when the gates will open for this? They're doing some Hank ceremony. I'm assuming the usual 6PM? Thanks!

 

[*Bob Richards*]

This is MSG we are talking here. The gate is always left open.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Really hoping for revenge for that 1st game. I remember how badly I felt after that loss game 1.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I'm going to the game tomorrow, I'll assume the Hank ceremony will be at 7 and I won't have to come earlier, right?

 

[aufheben]

y u do dis

 

[Kakko]

y u do dis

 

[Draft Guru]

I would think Talbot gets the start, right?

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Please score little guy.

Which one?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Halpern... Wish he was still on the Rangers team. Such a classy guy and solid center.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Halpern... Wish he was still on the Rangers team. Such a classy guy and solid center.

We have 13 forwards better than him.

 

[Giacomin]

4 in a row!

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

lirl.

I can't hear anything about gates without thinking of that.

 

[Draft Guru]

Halpern... Wish he was still on the Rangers team. Such a classy guy and solid center.

Really? He brought nothing to the team. No way I'd replace any of our forwards for him.

 

[ecemleafs]

The best part is the fans. I love scoring on the road and hearing cheers.
- Rick Nash

LOL

 

[EpicDing]

Needs more Winnie Cooper.

 

[ajdj10]

Must win game this.
Otherwise it's season over.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

I would think Talbot gets the start, right?

Didn't AV say he's planning on riding Hank? With how tight the standings are he wants Hank in the net.

Talbot has been great when called upon, but Hank has hit is groove, he's looked great. You don't take the net away from him when he's on his game, especially at this point in the season. He might sit one more game, hopefully with the playoffs locked up.

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Let's go boys! 4 In a row and the midget (Marty not Mats) will score a goal on Smith.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

We have 13 forwards better than him.

He's not worse than Dorsett

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

MSL needs to really get the money off his back.

Is that even possible? cause the monkey and MSL are about the same height....

I'm waiting for the follow up post that says:

"I'll walk myself out after that one..."

 

[Rangers ftw]

Halpern... Wish he was still on the Rangers team. Such a classy guy and solid center.

Guess someone has to miss him
And I do agree, more valuable than Dorsett!

Moar points, LGR!!!
