    In my estimation what he brings to the table is some of, if not THE, best net presence in the league. I can't imagine that wont be missed facing a desperate Price. Not just Rangers loyalty here, he is seriously dangerous around the net. Of course with Stamkos out there who knows. He don't...

    I think they will. Especially with the bolts missing Cally.

    Tanked may not be the best word to describe it, but I get your meaning. This was a weird series right from the start (that fucking buzzer beater!) The Rangers may have been playing catch up since game one, but the only time I thought we might be fucked was when trailing in game 5 and that didn't...

    Yeah, not even a little suprised about it going to 7. Sure didn't think we would need to win three In a row to advance though. I don't know, I have a really bad feeling about Wed though. I just don't see us pulling the same miracle as last year. I hope it's at least a good game and not a blowout.

    Ugh, crazy finish. It can never just be easy. That fucking delay of game bullshit call almost ruined a great hockey game.

    Yeah that McDonough penalty was funny. Really shitty period for us. If not for those dumb calls and Hank we would be down by a few right now.

    I didn't even notice that play, but that gif just shows the contact, not the context before so it's hard to really judge.

    I'm just saying, there have a ton of missed calls both ways all series and I have been really good at not bitching about them.

    I'll take Straalman back too while we're at it. Freeing up cap space for Dan Boyle sure as fuck hasn't paid off.

    Not coming off harsh at all. I was just responding to your response to Elurin. All i'm saying is I don't recall Washington setting up and cycling the puck at all last game. They had one or two quick shots then the puck was moved out. Actual shots on net may have been close, but it felt like...

    Yeah, outshot 30-29 but Caps also blocked 25 shots to NY's 7. If you don't think the Rangers dominated puck possession, i'm not sure which game you watched. That's what is so frustrating, I don't feel like the Rangers are playing bad at all (face-offs aside). They are facing a hot goaltender and...

    Dear god what I wouldn't give to have Callahan back. MSL has been playing hockey like 18 years and the dude can't even get a puck on net from 6 feet away? What the fuck happened to him?? I'm glad NY is going for the dirty goals because that is what it's gonna take but so far Holtby has been up...

    Yeah, crossbar came up big there. Alot of good chances on both ends but most of Holtby's saves came from way outside, usually on bad angles with no traffic. Not that he hasn't been amazing all season, I just think everyone in front of him (especially the D) were freaking surgical out there. We...

    I don't know, I wouldn't personally recommend a new player grind through early levels on multiple classes as early levels are boring as fuck and likely to drive them away with false impressions. Maybe i'm lucky, but every class I have played so far doesn't reallyneedcross class skills to...

    Yandle may have embelished a high stick a tad. As for Ovechkin, he is in full blown god mode right now. That goal was nuts, it's really impressive to watch.

    Really fucking stupid ending actually, but I don't think they stole it at all really. Too many mistakes in our own end, two specifically by the obviously rusty Klein. He wasn't ready and should of probably sat another day. Game should of ended with the Miller turnover to begin with so Ward goal...

    Lundqvist kept us in it there in the 2nd. Hayes and Yandle seem to be generating every rush on our end. AV needs juggle some of these pairings. Ovie is a monster tonight. God help us if him AND Backstrom ever get going. The latter has been a non factor thus far.

    Yeah, AV was trying to be coy about his availability in the 2nd round but the second that puck connected I figured his run was over. It pretty much has to be a concussion, not much mystery there. I'm not too worried though, I thought Sheppard looked good when he was filling in for Glass. Of...

    Most people did, but not me. Either way, smart money was on hawks or ducks going to the cup in the west, habs or rangers in the east. I mean, I like the blues and think they are a damn great hockey team but it was never going to be their year from my perspective.
