ECQF Game 1: Rangers @ Canadiens | 7 PM EST | CBC, NBCSN, TVAS

[General Disarray]

Does the GM get fired when the lose the first round? No offense for like 5 years in a row lol

 

[A Loyal Dog]

Not Hank. Rangers defence wouldnt let Montreal do anything.

Absolutely, 100%, this. NYR's defence tonight was spectacular.

 

[General Disarray]

Rangers aren't a great team, but the better team won (and will win the series)

 

[Heritage]

Lundquist definitely won the battle of the goalies tonight.

Montreal offense does not look good.

 

[Kakko]

Peace out Markov, you idiot

 

[The Macho King]

Honestly I don't think the Rangers should be *too* happy. Their offense was pretty non-existent as well, and man their PP was trash. But you're always happen to come away with the W.

Bergeron riding Price coattails trades subban away. He will be fired this offseason.

 

[RBNY]

Montreal is in trouble already.

Their offense is very poor and only had a brief stretch in the second period where they had any sustained offensive pressure. Otherwise they have had little possession and have been pinned back in their own end for most of the game.

 

[Fataldogg]

He's been solid but I agree he hasn't had to do all that much. Montreal has made it relatively easy for him

Lundqvist made the best save of the game.

Price faced a fair number of low danger shots too. Its not like the Rangers overly tested him.

Cannot take anything away from Henrik. He was the difference maker. Best player on the ice from either team.

If Lundqvist plays at his prime level, it nullifies the difference in goal and becomes a series on depth.

 

[Bologna 1]

Jesus, I wasn't impressed with either team here. The rangers just sucked less I suppose

Period one belonged to the Habs, second and third belonged to the Rangers. They had tons of chances in the second, it could have been over in the second.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Tanner Glass with the GWG.

 

[sansabri]

GG, Rags. See you Friday.

 

[Scotty Pucks]

Well, NYR isn't necessarily explosive and Pricey is one of the best.

Still saying Habs in 7.

 

[The Macho King]

Just no gamebreakers on either squad outside of the goalies.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

The King says: eat that!

 

[Frank Garrett]

The Rangers and the superior French Coach SHOCK French Canada.

 

[Duffman955]

One of the most offensively inept games I have ever seen.

Blah

 

[Subbaman]

It's one game. No question the Rangers were better tonight. GG, hopefully they win game 2.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

What a psychological huge suckerpunch to the mouth of the Habs. Maybe now their fans can tone it down just a little bit and stop talking so much nonsense like they have been spilling for the past week. SHUT THE **** OUT to start the playoffs AT HOME. HUUUUUUUUUSH.
Other than that. GG HABS BROS

Are they even gonna score in this series?

 

[hockeykicker]

isnt markov now suspended for game 2?

 

[Bleedred]

That Tanner Glass goal was a junk softy on Price.

Montreal is the most overrated team in the league and has been for quite some time. I still picked them to win in 7 though, but just seeing them in this game made me remember why as recent as last week, I was picking the Rangers in 6.

 

[luthar]

The Rangers and the superior French Coach SHOCK French Canada.

Superior French Coach doesn't have a ring...lol

 

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

Habs are going to do this every game it's a short series.

Might be the only first round sweep. The Carey Price is God spheel will die out quickly after this one
