Play like the boys did during the first period of game one. Prosper.

 

[17futurecap]

3 teams answered the bell to even a series tonight, Rangers need to make it 4.

4-1 NYR

Reaves
Lafreniere
Panarin
Shesterkin

Go Ranger! I hate penguin

 

[Ginger Papa]

Hoping to see another strong start

Resulting in turnovers

To facilitate some sniping

Defensive play shutting the Pens down

And Igor to continue his solid play

Hopefully the officiating isn’t unduly influenced

Do all that, and I see

The Penguins falling short

So the Boys can even up the Series

And get the Boys feeling good about themselves going to Pittsburgh

ps. Nice GDT @Leonardo87

 

[Champs 94]

Do what the Oilers did to the Kings after losing Game 1: Stomp them and send a message.

Zebras can't overturn 6 goals, although I'm sure they'll try their best if Cindy Crosby cries hard enough.

 

[Jayan]

Dentist at 7am tomorrow and heavy day at work.. gonna have to DVR this one... gaah =/

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

Go get em. Panarin needs to show up tonight.

 

[Player big P]

I don't have to work until 1:30 PM on Friday so I should actually be able to stay up for this one.

A convincing win would be just lovely.

Same here. In the office with back to back meetings…..

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Alright folks, that awful taste from Tuesday is washed out of my mouth. Ready for game 2!

Let yesterday, be just that!

LGR!

A convincing win would be just lovely.

I gotta start at 10 AM, i can easily catch most of the game. Maybe regulation, but another OT game is gonna be rough. xD

 

[JRinNYC]

Please no OT tonight. Hope the Rangers can beat PIT in regulation.

 

[Larrybiv]

No one would believe me, if I told you what I did DURING ALL the OT periods.
Can't even believe it myself.
P.M. me, if you're curious.

 

[Larrybiv]

Oh and by the way, not that losing isn't bad enough, but we wasted energy in an additional two periods +, that could be detrimental should we move on. It was unnecessary, and hope BUTTMAN and the NHL are happy with themselves. That was a huge goal taking away from the Rangers and especially Chytil. Regardless of how conditioned they're supposed to be, it has to take a toll somewhere down the line.
I hope they play like they're freaking pissed off, in what "should have been a Rangers victory". Rip their BEAKS off, do whatever you got to do to win, because THAT is playoff hockey.

Ran a half marathon....played18 holes, oh wait it was dark.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Hoping we aren’t talking about the zebras after this one.

That’s all I ask really.

Wait is this a hommage to the spam bots on Instagram?

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

No Quit in NY. No more thinking about being screwed over in Game 1. The focus is tonight. Even the series.

 

[Bob Richards]

Bro if Louis Domingue is starting them you must win this goddamn game.

I swear to god

 

[Crease]

Vince just said on his podcast that Gallant cancelled the morning skate. Giving the guys a full break between Games 1 and 2.

 

[rangers1314]

Young legs are on our side. Cannot come out flat.

 

[Guyute]

Tonight we dominate

 

[Mike in Houston]

Need a big game from Panarin tonight. He's been pretty much a non-factor in all four postseason games (bubble included) so far as a Ranger.

 

[Leonardo87]

I will be getting buzzed before I go to the game tonight at my usual spots. No way gonna pay like $20 for a shitty beer at the garden when I can catch a local bar happy hour for 1/3 the price. Supposed to hit the 70’s today. Yeah baby!!!!

 

[Riche16]

What can be said? Shesty needs help.

Don't allow easy cross crease passes and plz have the puck more than you did in the 2nd-3OT
