Let's go boys.

[Whoot Whoot]

Henrik - best player in the league.

 

[Ail]

Much better match-up than the Leafs.

Going to be a long physical series. Rangers needs to find some toughness. They can't let the Bruins do what Ovechkin was doing tonight.

 

[Stugots]

That is why the man is nominated for the Vezina yet again.

 

[WeWillWinTonight]

I was more concerned about playing the caps for some reason we match up with Boston pretty well IMO

 

[Kokoschka]

'tis gonna be good.

 

[pld459666]

Look at the Rangers record over the last 4 years. We play them very well and have a lot of success against that team.

going to be a hell of a series

 

[Carter IV]

screen rask, play with speed, remember no lead is safe
im a rangers fan for this series

[TankLarkin]

Boyle will be pumped.

 

[Fitzy]

I'll look over the stats, everything in a bit.

Bruins have a solid team. Solid goaltending, deep defense, good crew of physical forwards.

We will also see a Jagr return to MSG.

 

[Beacon]

Lundqvist has been acceptable in goals the last couple of games, but he'll need to get better (I'm speaking on behalf of Lundqvist because that's his usual answer no matter what happens). On the down side, Lunqvist's slap shot has really not helped us on the power play. I blame him for 2-for-27 on PP. If he can score a couple of hat tricks, we will beat Da Bears.

 

[Kokoschka]

They have a very balanced offense. Will be interesting to see if our defensive depth is gonna come through.
Rangers have higher top end talent on O, but not as much scoring depth.
Bruins have higher top end talent on D, but not as much depth.
Rangers have better goaltending.
Special teams are nothing to brag about for either team.
Bruins are tougher, we could use Clowe.

It's gonna be one helluva series. Split the first two and I think we can do this. LGR!

Leafs completely lost game 7.

That being said, another series that will probably go 7 games. Can we win one series where it doesn't go to 7 games?

 

[BBKers]

We must overcome Redden and Jagr
Oh boy...

 

[17futurecap]

120 minutes of shutout hockey in two elimination games, no big deal. Best goalie in the world!

 

[Blueblood2]

Gotta get out on Chara at the point! That is my biggest fear.

 

[ecemleafs]

first matchup in 40 years?

 

[Fitzy]

We must overcome Redden and Jagr
Oh boy...

If I was Wade, I would make the Avery "Getting paid by both teams" comment at the nearest possible opportunity.

 

[Placid]

Lundqvist has been acceptable in goals the last couple of games..

Seeing as he has two shutouts in his last 2 games, i certainly hope that would be acceptable, yes

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Gotta get out on Chara at the point! That is my biggest fear.

We contained Mike Green's shot okay for the most part, we can do the same to Chara.

 

[Florida Ranger]

Bring it.

 

[nyrpassion]

wow...my caps "fan" friends are such dicks. **** you guys.

 

[blue425]

This series is going to be nuts.

 

[Riverdale]

Interesting to see how Kreider plays in his hometown in the postseason.
