JETman Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Rangers looking tough. I'm starting to believe! Kreider gets his 2nd game winning goal in just his 6th NHL game. Unbelievable considering that he was playng college hockey just 3 weeks ago. Edited April 28, 2012 by JETman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalupa Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Who can stop them in the East? Maybe Boston. Oops! I mean maybe Pittsburgh. Oops! Seriously though their path is clear now to the finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETman Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 They may be the most complete team left in the playoffs. They are strong and hard working from goalie on out. The tide started to turn a couple of years ago when Torts convinced Sather to go young and homegrown. In Staal, Girardi, McDonagh and Del Zotto, I think they have the best "top 4" defensive core in the league. Having been nominated for both the Hart and the Vezina, Lundquist is obviously solid. They may not have the brightest offensive stars in the league, but when you've got a group as defensively responsible as they are, that obviously makes up for those deficiencies. Despite their youth, they are a grounded and well-coached group that should be good as least for the next few years. It's finally a good time to be a Ranger fan. This, and the fact that the Islanders are already 29 years (and well on their way to surpassing the Rangers' 54 years) into their Cup drought, makes me an absolutely giddy New York hockey fan.

JETman Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Just two wins away from a NY NJ series to decide who wins the Stanley Cup. If you didn't find it necessary to waste your time with the "ignore" feature on an internet discussion forum, you would have noticed that I already mentioned the presence of two very good remaining west coast teams who might argue with east coast tri-state area dominance. However, before you make a fool of yourself by laughing so riotously, I would wait and see how everything plays out. Just some friendly advice. Sports predictions have a way of jumping up and biting one on the ass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JETman Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Maybe if you had inserted one of those goofy smilies, I would have gotten it. Don't mess with my Rangers though. This is the only sport where I REALLY care if my team wins a title. Petulance does rule on this board sometimes, and he does have me on ignore.

Chalupa Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 The Rangers game combined with the Mets 9th inning vs. the Phillies must have made for a memorable Monday night for NYC sports fans. Flyers going down tonight it appears. Oh well this was a rebuilding year and once Pronger went down that was pretty much it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebuilding won't happen until they realize their mistake! 1975.......................and counting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalupa Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Yeah that contract is gonna kill us. But he hasn't been all that bad. A lot of his problems have been the result of the D in front of him. They have a bunch of good young players that show a good deal of promise, which despite Bryz's contract, give the fans some reason to hope for the future.

T.D. Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I'm shocked by (but not at all unhappy about ) how badly the Flyers got outplayed. Before the series, I thought they'd win in five, with a chance at a sweep. Is it just me, or does Jagr have absolutely nothing left? I can't recall him doing anything in the series. I remember when (long ago) he was the best player in the league... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when (long ago) he was the best player in the league... He just came back to the NHL after a couple of years off playing in Russia. Quite the opposite reaction for me. I'm surprised he did as well as he did during the regular season this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Much as I would prefer to see the Rangers win (I'm one of those old grumpy Ovi haters), that was a hell of a game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETman Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Really? Totally uninspired hockey from the NYR. They haven't dominated any of their 13 games yet. Even if they win game 7, they're going to need to play much more disciplined hockey to keep pace with Los Diablos. It's apparent they need another scorer and someone, anyone who can win faceoffs on a consistent basis. I'm pretty convinced Richards isn't that guy, which further convinces me that they overpaid him because the free agent class last year was just not that good.

Brad Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Didn't get to see too much of the game but Rangers move. Amazing to say but it only gets harder from here on in. Hard to predict who will one this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
