[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]

They pushed back. We want to push back. They’re a good team, they have some depth.
We’re a good team, too. We’ll show it Thursday.
- Brian Boyle

They are a very opportunistic team and they have really good players and they are making us pay.
It just comes down to the next game and having another good start.
- Dan Girardi

Down 3 games to nothing, it's a very tough situation. I have full faith in the team. They'll be ready to play.
- John Tortorella

Heads Up: The GDT is work in progress.

Loff · May 23, 2013

Okay boys, time to win four straight. Get it done!

Kokoschka · May 23, 2013

60 minutes of hockey, please. Don't get swept. Thanks.

*Bob Richards* · May 23, 2013

Just need to become the 4th team in hockey and 5th in sports to ever make this comeback.

Easy.

Let's go!

silverfish · May 23, 2013

One at a time here. That's all there is.

LGR

Ail · May 23, 2013

They're going to win at least two for that false sense of hope, then deliver a crushing game 6 double OT loss at home.

So yeah this is a win.

Hi ImHFNYR · May 23, 2013

Go **** yourselves scrub team godawful performance all around. Coach should be in a stockade in front of MSG so we can bean him with eggs. Make me eat those pre-emptive words Rangers. Make me eat them

Riche16 · May 23, 2013

Just win one. Just one.

Dangleberry · May 23, 2013

This series hasn't even come close to a "rivalry"

Boruto · May 23, 2013

I want to believe. I have a hard time believing. I can't believe. Nothing makes me believe, except Henrik Lundqvist. Even if the man does not put us in the game, his desire and determination to win... where you can just feel his soul... it's enough to make anyone believe.

That's my fruit opening.

Now, just battle and play one ****ing hard game, to finish the year or not. There is simply no ****ing better situation to play to the idea of playing as hard as you ****ing can to show some ****ing pride. LGNYFR.

SavedByLundqvist · May 23, 2013

The only sweep I want to see is the Rangers sweeping the next 4 games.

Do it boys!

Jackson Ranger · May 23, 2013

They'll be ready to play.
- John Tortorella

Win or lose, they better show they care about this game.

Saitama · May 23, 2013

It would be nice to win one at least. I just don't see this going past 5 and I'll be pretty surprised at this point if it makes it past 4. I'm not really even too enthusiastic about the game tonight.

Punxrocknyc19* · May 23, 2013

reason to believe.. Providence Bruins had a 3-0 series lead and lost the series.. lets do the same to the Boston Bruins :yo:

3-2 Rangers OT win.. goals by Brassard (OT) Hagelin and Kreider

HockeyBasedNYC · May 23, 2013

Just win one ****ing game please. Boston is better but they arent that much better to sweep them in the second round.

If the Rangers get swept and show little heart than we have bigger problems. I dont expect that to happen.

I hope Torts allows Richards to fail, give him close to 15 minutes tonight - instead of protecting him.

*Bob Richards* · May 23, 2013

In attempts to curb my depression over this, I've been trying to convince myself that its only a game. Literally several grown men chasing a piece of vulcanized rubber about so they can drink booze out of an over sized coffee mug.

I really really want that over sized coffee mug.

Son of Steinbrenner · May 23, 2013

It's way to late for power play suggestions but whatever. If I'm Torts and the Rangers get a power play I put out the next line in the rotation.

So if the Brassard line draws a power play I put the Stepan line out next, with the 2 defenseman that are up next. If it's the 4th lines turn that's the line you put out. Same deal with the defenseman. 5 on 5 we are either we aren't getting outworked (most of the time) so treat the power play like a 5 on 5 situation.

I hope the Rangers win tonight but if they don't they don't. I'll say this though. If the Rangers win tonight they can start sowing that little seed of doubt in the Bruins head. They've blown a 3-0 lead before, their AHL team just blew a 3-0 lead. The organization has some issues closing teams out of a series. Do I think the Rangers come back? No way but lets make them sweat a little.

Crease · May 23, 2013

Gunna order a pie, get some cans, kick back and watch this plane go down. It's all gravy at this point.

I'd feel better if Boston and their AHL team HADN'T lost 3-0 leads recently. I think they are going to come out even harder tonight to put the Rangers away to disprove this talk.

Can't hurt. I've been saying that for years, play it 5 on 5, they'll actually have more men on the puck than their PP scheme does (whatever that is). To me, thats the biggest problem. Not enough urgency, no outmanning the other team with numbers consistently (or at all in some cases).

Agree about the doubt.

Punxrocknyc19* · May 23, 2013

i would love if this team came out in the 1st period hitting and trying to start some physical play.. but this team is not that physical and soft. so i wont be shocked if the Rangers dont have a physical edge at the start.

shoothepuck · May 23, 2013

Hard to take they blow 4 in a row is just as hard to believe they win the next 4 but if the team that played the Caps in game 6 shows up tonight it's a start. When Steps and Brass are your points leaders this team has huge flaws..

nevesis · May 23, 2013

Win tonight. Worry about tomorrow.

HockeyBasedNYC · May 23, 2013

The Rangers would need some series **** to go their way to win this series. They would need to win 2 road games in a row.

That right there is an immense undertaking for this team.

LOL

But alas, just get one at home for the paying fans who endured the lockout and came back to support the team.

we want cup · May 23, 2013

Anything can happen!
