[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]

We wake up and it’s a Game 7. Loser goes home and winner takes it all.
There’s nothing better than playing in those Game 7s. We have to wake up and start fresh.
- Marc Staal

It’ll be a hard-fought battle. We’re going home. We’ve had success in Game 7s, especially a lot of guys in this room.
That’s why we battled hard right to the end to get home ice.
- Brad Richards

We had a good start. We had some good looks. Obviously didn't score.
They had a PP. We had an opportunity to ice the puck and we didn't ice the puck and they made us pay for it.
I thought we came out of there in pretty good shape. We picked a bad time to have a bad period there in the second.
- Alain Vigneault​

No winnie, just Win

Is the lineup confirmed.

I can't wait 5+ more hours.

Nope.

I kind of like my itching beard to grow some more...

 

[AHB*]

I kind of like my itching beard to grow some more...

I've shaved after each loss and we won. So I shaved this morning again.

I let the beard grow every year since I could grow a beard and it hasn't worked. Figured it was time for a change-up.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Second straight night I'm watching the Rangers with a Flyers fan at home. Don't make me go through the horror of last night again!

 

[eco's bones]

Hopefully we win this one. The one thing I can say is the team is healthy and we have some depth. We could really use Kreider right now. Maybe in the next series if we can get there.

LET'S GO RANGERS

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Dang! The other thread closed before I could multi-quote.

I don't know why people are shocked that this series has been overall even. These teams are similar in talent as an overall unit.

The Richter vs. Lundqvist debate has been beaten to death! Lundqvist hasn't been playing at an elite level, but for someone to say that he has "no crunch-time ability" is a reactionary and misguided statement (i.e. the Olympics and several years in the SEL). Even in years when Lundqvist played at an elite level for the Rangers, this team hasn't been close to sniffing Lord Stanley's jock! I will repeat that Lundqvist has not been dominant, and the old adage that "your big name players need to play big a crunch time" applies to him as well, but to win the cup all your big names player need to be big.

In 1994, Richter,who was key player, was fantastic. He was major factor in that victory. There was this other player named Mark, also a key player, he played well. There was also some Russian. I think his name was Alexei. He had a pretty good rookie playoff season. I recall that there was a trade deadline acquired player named Stephan. He contributed as well. I think garden vision mentions Stephan's last name at times, but it's still a blur to me.

Oh yes! I forgot. There was an American born defenseman named Brian Leetch! He was cool too!

To the poster who suggested playing Talbot, I agree! You gotta go with the hot player! It's the playoffs! All you need to do is get to the dance, and then anything can happen! Book it!

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

We'll here we are. Game 7. Shouldn't even have gotten to this point. Disappointing that i have to watch this game. Honestly, I'm not too confident despite our dominance over the Flyers at home. We've owned this team the past few season. Beat them in the Winter Classic on their turf. Handed their ***** to them on several occasions. I feel like this could be payback for all of that tonight, and quite frankly its the Rangers fault for getting themselves into this position. They are the better team but havent proven it, for a number of reasons.

**** style points. I dont care if Lundqvist gives up another 4. Score 5. Nash, whatever. I dont care who the heroes are. Just win and move on. Theyve made this more interesting and nerve wracking then it had to be. Leaders need to step up. Whoever they are.

 

[Ail]

They need 4 goals to win. Two to cover the dreaded two goal lead, one will get disallowed or non-reviewable and one to be the GWG. 3-2 Rangers win.

Nash scores the GWG tonight. No, seriously guys he will.

Please win.

 

[Doctyl]

Gotta love incarceratdbob

 

[sark76]

If Carcillo does not play tonight, I'll crap my pants in anger!!!

 

[silverfish]

This is what you get home ice advantage for!

Hope the "corporate" Garden is rocking tonight

I'm not ready for the season to be over.

GREAT video. It did it's job....I'm even more pumped for us to kick some ass than I was 5 minutes ago....LGR!!!

 

[Elvis Presley]

Please take out JT or Dorsett. Either one... Or both?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Please take out JT or Dorsett. Either one... Or both?

Why would hey take out Dorsett?

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Getting ****ing sick of posting this, but it is 3/3. LGR!

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Nash with the hat trick.

 

[Riche16]

They need 4 goals to win. Two to cover the dreaded two goal lead, one will get disallowed or non-reviewable and one to be the GWG. 3-2 Rangers win.

Nash scores the GWG tonight. No, seriously guys he will.

Please win.

Nash isn't scoring tonight. I'd bet my savings account on it.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

That was an intense home game from the Flyers, they went hard. Will be tough to do back to back on the road.

The Rangers meanwhile floated around the ice. They're obviously well rested and ready to finish it on home ice in front of a bunch of endearing fans. Obviously this was the plan all along, and it's brilliant. A new twist on the rope a dope.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

im surprised AV hasnt changed the lines... there is zero balance. only the stepan and brass line seems to score. and theyre both wildly inconsistent. we need to get someone who can go infront of the net on the step line and move nash... he doesnt deserve 1st line ice time the way he is playing

 

[Bullseyes]

Nash needs to do something tonight.
