Blaming a goalie for giving up a goal on a 2-on-0 breakaway. Now I have seen it all
I would really appreciate, you know, something like a 4-1 win in game six. One can dream.
Yeah, I'm not really into sports other than hockey and I love horses.
I think Rangers may have found out how to beat this Capitals defensive system. Push up on the circles, pass pack for quick one time slap shot while crowding the front of the net. Both goals came like this.
I don't want another OT game where it is a 50/50 chance of survival. Come out. Bury 3, 4, 5 goals against Holtby.
Make the Caps rethink their strategy and create doubt in everyone one of their players' minds, especially Holtby's.
And for the love of god, separate Nash and MSL and swap Miller and Moore somewhere in the top 9. Sheesh.

Good luck with that. NHL.com:
Dating to last season's Stanley Cup Final, each of the Rangers' past 12 playoff games has been decided by one goal. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, New York's streak of one-goal games in the playoffs is the longest in the NHL's modern era. In the playoffs, 15 of the Rangers' past 16 games, 17 of their past 19, and 18 of their past 22 have been decided by one goal.
Watching NYR playoff games ages you in dog years.

2 years ago I was 15. Now I'm a middle aged man.

Since there is no GDT up yet, I will post this here. I write a daily history story on that group. I researched this for a Rangers Facebook group and thought it would be nice to post it here as well:
Today a special edition of New York Rangers history. No focus on games played on this date, but games played on Mother's Day!
The Rangers are 4-1 in games played on Mother's Day and here's a recap.
On Mother's Day in 2014, the Rangers played in game 6 of the 2nd round against the Penguins. This is the most emotional game, days after Martin St. Louis' mom passed away. The Rangers won 3-1 with St. Louis scoring the first goal of the game, after 3 minutes and 34 seconds. Tying the series at 3 and forcing game 7, The Rangers went on to win game 7 in Pittsburgh and advance to the Stanley Cup Finals where they lost to the Kings 4-1.
On Mother's Day in 2013, the Rangers played in game 6 of the 1st round against the Capitals. Again, being down 3-2 in the series, the Rangers managed to tie the series at 3, by beating the Capitals 1-0. Derick Brassard scoring the only goal in the 2nd period with John Moore and Mats Zuccarello assisting. Henrik Lundqvist recorded a shut-out and would do so in game 7 the next day, when the Rangers won 5-0 in Washington.
On Mother's Day in 1997, the Rangers travelled to New Jersey to take on the Devils. Leading the Series 3-1 (after losing game 1), the Rangers had a chance to clinch a spot in the conference finals. Adam Graves and Esa Tikkanen scored the goals for the Rangers in a 2-1 win in OT. The Rangers advanced and lost in the conference finals to the Flyers, 4-1.
On Mother's Day in 1995, the Rangers played in game 5 of the 1st round against the Quebec Nordiques. In a Series where they were leading 3-1, the Rangers did not have enough firepower to end it and lost 4-2. Mark Messier and Pat Verbeek scored the goals for the Rangers while Wendel Clark, Mike Ricci, Chris Simon and Scott Young hit the twine for the Nordiques. In game 6, the Rangers won with the same numbers to advance to the 2nd round where they were swept by the Flyers.
On Mother's Day in 1979, the Rangers played in game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Montreal Canadiens. With John Davidson in goal, the Rangers started off well with a powerplay goal by Steve Vickers, followed by Ron Greschner doubling the lead late in the 1st period. Guy Lafleur scored the lone goal for the Canadiens before the Rangers again took a 2-goal lead when Phil Esposito scored on the powerplay. Dave Maloney had the final goal in a 4-1 win, short-handed. Anders Hedberg finished the game with 2 assists.
