Excited to watch every step of the way as the Rangers make MSG proud.

Bringing pride to MSG for the first time in a VERY VERY long time.

Rangers played their worst game of the last 7, but still found a way to win. They play better on the road, which they will need to do to close out the series on Tuesday. They need to stay out of the penalty box, keep their sticks down and get an early lead to really put the pressure on Montreal.

You GOTTA learn to win ugly to be a champion. You SAW two instances where Subban and Plekanec who drew penalties flopping on the ground after the high stick was called, hoping for a major.

This was a win of character. Lundqvst played his worst game of the post season. Big guns were struggling.

Unsung was return of Brassard who declared himself healthy and was crucial on so many face offs!

i wonder where we would have ended up with Cally. Not here i bet, LRG. MSL totally worth it. So close yet so far.

Cally is a nice player and a home grown flavor but the Rangers WON that trade.

Three bruising two-way forwards: Richards, St. Louis, and Nash but the REAL grinders are Kreider, McDonagh, Zuccarello, Hagelin...we all know Staal and Girardi.

Hockey is RARELY won by the stars but the guys who do the little things.

Tremendous win because ONE bad bounce and the momentum could swing the other way.

So close to losing when that puck hit the goal post. I thought we played a bad game to cause we just weren't controlling the puck and Henrik had a bad game.
I think we'll show up in Montreal and take it home in game 5.

Keep in mind, the Rangers completely outplayed Montreal in Game 4 and lost. THAT'S hockey.

One bad bounce can change a series.

Tokarski is no longer afraid of the Rangers. In fact, I fear him more now than Price because the Rangers have limited info on him.

Game 5 in "Mount Real" the Rangers will be focused. After TWO game sevens, this is another test on their ability to close.

Looking more and more likely that New York (assuming they can win ONE game in 3 chances) will be playing Los Angeles IN Hockey. :lol:

Gotta love those NY vs LA finals match ups in any sport. When was the last time that happened in the 4 major sports?

Knicks vs Lakers 1973??

1973? Yet you make it sound like NY vs LA final match-up happens time to time. :lol:

WILD Game 5 in "Mount Real" The Canadians RACED out to a 4-1 lead. Lundqvst was pulled. Rangers TIE the game 4-4 in the second period. Canadians finally regain the lead 5-4 with 4 minutes left in the second.

LET'S GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!
