So is game 4 still on NBCSN? What a joke.

1. Kings defended the center of the ice extremely well. Rangers didn’t get a ton of looks in prime scoring areas and almost no second chance opportunities. Really struggled to generate space 5-on-5.

2. When they did get quality looks…wait for it…they just did not execute. Whiffs and missed nets were plentiful. PP speaks for itself. Atrocity. Richards single handedly sucked the momentum of 2+ PPs.

3. When they did execute, Quick made some phenomenal saves. Big game goalie. He played like he was a NYR fan as a kid and was making his MSG debut. Oh, right.

4. Finally, just some terrible bounces all around. 2 goals directly off Rangers, one more a terrible 2-on-1 bounce off McD who played the situation relatively well.

5. Bad luck and bad execution in Game 3 of the SCF. Sure know how to let us down Rangers.

6. At least I didn’t play $1500 to see that.

We need to find a 1942 Leafs jersey and burn it drenched in goat's blood in an urn. That'll give us the hoodoo we need to get back into it and win four in a row.

Quick is going to have a chance to live a childhood dream and raise the Cup in MSG. He's gonna play balls out on Wednesday. It's going to be scary.

 

[SKjEi o2]

LA hasn't won 4 games yet. We can still win the Stanley Cup. LGR! Home crowd for game 4, get it done.

 

[Baby Punisher]

You guys would enjoy life more if you were a little optimistic sometimes.

I would enjoy life more if I were (Mod: use your imagination, lol) twice a day everyday, but that isn't ever going to happen and I know it. Just like I know this series is OVER.

If the Rangers plan to play like they did tonight... I don't want it on NBC 4

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Tommy Wiseau said it best "I feh dop wittis whirl"

 

[Dalagaze]

Well, now is as good a time as ever to make history. Take it one game at a time.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

At least we knocked out the Canadiens.

 

[Xref]

Not to state the obvious, but Quick stole the game. What a performance for his first game ever at MSG. Un. Real.

 

[MisterUnspoken]

I have a slight bit of hope left in me but its not much. Just don't let them celebrate at the Garden... just win game 4 and go back to LA.... ugg..

 

[hi]

James Dolan witnessing the Rangers getting swept in his arena is what I'm hoping for at this point.

 

[Zil]

Sooo we should get another crack at this in two or three decades right?

 

[trilobyte]

Just go win the next game, Rangers.
Do that, and then think about the next game. I can go with that.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

At least we knocked out the Canadiens.

Penguins for me.

That's one way to make a used hockey jersey smell better.

My thoughts exactly. I'm glad this wasn't on national tv.

Well, it took the Rangers 15 years after the last time they lost in the finals (1979).

 

[Raspewtin]

Quick didn't steal anything.

He had some great saves but it was ****ing 3-0.

 

[OnlyTruth]

Rangers had won 5 straight games this playoffs. So why not make the history?

 

[Kokoschka]

Wishlist: Get this series back to California. That's all.

 

[MrEctions]

Welp, the commentary from the locker room will be the typical, just gotta win 1, were focused on winning 1. Not that I dont agree, but thats what every team in this situation says. Its kinda funny.

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

They made it all the way to the finals. That's exceeding expectations by quite a margin.

I'll watch the remaining game(s) in the series, but have no doubt this is over.
