[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]

All of the goals today weren’t the prettiest. A lot of times it’s just putting the puck towards the net.
In the end, I think we wish we would have capitalized on a few more looks. Tokarski played really well.
We just didn’t defend quite as well consistently throughout the game to decline some of their chances.
- Ryan McDonagh

Right now, I don't have any friends in Montreal.
- Henrik Lundqvist

Obviously every game has their moments, every game has their incidences where sometimes blood can boil on one side or the other.
That incident, the four referees missed the call and Stepan is injured. Late hit, everything that you want to get out the game, that was his hit on Stepan.
- Alain Vigneault​

[I Eat Crow]

Please win. Much better to go up 3-1 than go into a hostile environment tied. Win or lose, just play well and cash in on our chances. Don't let Tokaraki gain more confidence.

 

[we want cup]

Sweep the leg.

 

[slipknottin]

Whistle to whistle!

 

[Oak]

Lets go rangers !!!

 

[Idlerlee]

Wipe them out

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Don't let emotions get in the way of playing your game and kicking their ass. LGR.

Seriously.

I don't want the last cup to literally last my lifetime.

 

[eco's bones]

Don't like these *******s. Let's get rid of them.

The Rangers should have tons of bulletin board material--lots of reasons to come out as hard as they can. Pin them in their own end and wear them down.

 

[silverfish]

Pressure is back on us. Let's get this win, and get the series on their ice in game 5. Nothing would please me more than eliminating this bush league run team, and their bush league fans with a win on their ice

Going to need some people to play huge tonight with Stepan out. Very excited to have Brassard back in the mix. Lundqvist needs to continue to be on top of his game. We need more from Richie and MSL on the PP. Missing Stepan's RH shot on that top unit is going to be very hard. I hope we have MSL working the half boards with Nash and Kreider up front. I guess we have to wait and see on that one though.

Miller better play a responsible game in his zone. We can't afford to have a player need to sit the entire third period. Need to be able to comfortably roll four lines and keep everyone's legs moving.

An obviously huge game here.

LGR

If somehow Stepan comes out with that full face-shield on, I want the garden to ****ing ERUPT.

 

[FanInFtWorth]

Rangers have to win this game. Going back to Montreal 2-2 and a wave of confidence does not play well for the Rangers. That said, Rangers make an AHL goalie look like an AHL goalie. 5-2 Rangers...LGR!!

 

[mti79]

I don't see it happening, but with Carcillo appealing his suspension, could he play today? I could see that being humorous to say the least....

Lets Go Rangers!!! Win this and put our feet on their collective throats.

 

[ImIdaho]

Dress up Stepan for the pre-game warm ups. Just for teh lolz!

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Can a player play while they appeal a suspension?

 

[94wasagoodyear]

Today's game is not a must win but it's a must win.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Our home ice performances in the playoffs haven't been good enough so far. We need to change that tonight.

 

[WeWillWinTonight]

Been up since 6 am can't wait to get on the LIRR and take this win!

 

[Jarkko Immonen]

Today might feel like an eternity waiting for this game to come. MUST WIN!

 

[Potvin still sux]

There is no "must win" until you have 3 losses. However, every game in the playoffs is big.

We win tonight because we are just plain better.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Just win.

 

[ret513]

Win this tonight then close it out in their building. Then we relax, sit back and watch the riots and looting with some leftover refreshments. Make sure you save some for the aftermath show

 

[machphantom]

Goin to my first ever playoff game at the Garden... Hope it's a special one!

 

[KingP]

This really is a must win game


Going back to Montreal tied 2-2 would be a complete disaster

 

[Gee Wally]

Good luck tonight boys.

Put the distractions aside and take it to em.

Go Rangers!

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Stepan is still out indefinitely? I think I'd rather see JT Miller centering Kreider and Nash than hurting 2 lines.

 

[Nash Money]

Gotta do what we did against PHI and ignore their bull****. Go out skate them, show them speed kills, and take a stranglehold of the series.
