Man GG...I was thinking the same thing. When I first heard Licics words, thought it myself there goes the Bruins...sore friggin losers. What could a team do to bring out someone going so public like that in a handshake lineup? Unheard of for even Hockey. Then you get into a series with them and its not like they are the broad street bullies. They arent even super dirty. They are just pussies with sticks. Their mouths just do not shut the f#$% up. Their coach is so desperate to say the most absurd things. I can really now, like you said, see where the Bruins were coming from. A team like the Habs which on the surface create very little...but as a whole could be the most annoying franchise in sports. I would LOVE...LOVE LOVE....to wrap it up up there on Tuesday so we could watch their sorry asses watch us celebrate on their ice. I would really love that.
As far as the game is concerned...never thought we would win that game. Do not want to be negative but something is happening to change our style of play. I dont even think its the crap the Canadians said or did. The penalties? What the F? Our defensemen are totally invisible in the offensive zone. The dumb giveaways are returning a bit. Richards is back to playing like a dumb bastard. Hags played his best game of the year...and several players like Boyle are just on top of their game right now. Perhaps just a blip but I would really like to see us get back and play a 100 percent solid game Tuesday and wrap this thing up. And because we are playing up there, do not expect to see the Refs make up for the all the diving and faking they will see when the replay this game. The Canadians could be the biggest bunch of pussies in the NHL.
I agree Jay 50 years watching hockey, this Is the biggest bunch of crybabies I have ever seen, couldn't beat us even with the fuckin' refs in their pockets, MSL with one of the biggest goals in Ranger History, Brass with a Howitzer, Hags all over the ice...
Poe, purr-fect, what a fuckin' baby, he cries all game after the game, I never thought anybody could make Crosby look like a standup guy but this dickhead did...
OMG how good has Hagelin been? hahaha keep shutting me up, Hags. We sucked tonight though I hitnk we all know that. We were MSERABLE in the neutral zone. Absolutely miserable. Staal looks like McD looked in Philly series. Is Pouliot kidding me with the o ZONE PENALTIES???????? the holding the stick was about as bad a penalty as youll ever see Richards was butal last night except for when he kept the puck in twice to help win the gane We HAVE to play better if we're gonna win the you know what
So the Rangers lost an OT game where they completely outplayed the other team in game 3 and won the opposite in game 4. That's the breaks.
we out played them in the 1st period of game 3 but were lifeless in the 2nd, pretty bad in the 3rd and never came out for the OT
The Rangers had like a half dozen really good chances in game 3 in the 2nd and 3rd and just couldn't finish them. The Canadians got like two good chances and converted both of them.
NYR out-shot MTL 14-4 in first period of game 3....13-9 in period 2, 9-9 in period 3 and 3-1 MTL in OT. The game evened out very much after the 1st period. MTL also took away the neutral zone in period 2 and 3 and beat the Rangers at their own game by blocking more more shots than Rangers
NBC Sports post game brought this up, but St. Louis was robbed in game 3 about 2-3 times but this time he made sure that wouldn't be happening. It's awesome to pick up a win after playing badly, it feels like we are always on the other end of that scenario
One huge key last night was how dominant moore and boyle were on face offs. Wwe had a LOT of face offs in our own zone and without them winning those face offs, we lose
Awesome! Great finish last night. You could tell St. Louis was getting close. Now the Rangers are too. 1 win from the Stanley Cup Finals!
