I've seen Henrik play even better than last night against the Caps in the playoffs. It would be nice to do this again tomorrow and eat up another game of Hagelin being out without huge consequences, we shall see.
Craig Adams gets a 1 game suspension for pulling Hartnell's hair and Carkner gets 1 game for throw 6 punches when a guy is lying defenseless on the ice?
hey fuckers, Im late to this party. so last night I check into my hotel in Cleveland and sart scrambling to find a sports bar to watch the game. I relaize as Im heading out htat I have cnbc HD in my hotel room. Oh baby.....I stayed in and watched. I shit my pants about 5 times. I still HATE the fact that Ottawa forecheck is so fuckin dominant. IM still not happy with our forecheck either. And Im not happy with our inability to get the puck outta our zone, though last night was much better than game 2. That said, Il take the fuckin win Dubi and AA are immensely useless....two fuckin retards......u guys love em I know Now I am heading over to the "Q" to see Bruce Springsteen and the LEGENDARY, E Street band.....two blocks from my fuckin hotel.....went to the R&R hall of fame today ( boring), ran 6 miles through the city from Progressive field to lake Erie.....had a nice little lunch.......I love my "business" trips. Just heard that Alfredsson is "unlikely" to play tomorrow nigh Things are good in Jonnyd land........ LGR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Yeah could be, I can see the Rangers grinding down the Senators like the first 3 games and then the Sens just giving up and getting pummeled
I don't think you're gonna see a high scoring game. I think it'll be tight again. 2-1, maybe 3-2. I think that first game was an aberration. Senators are gonna miss Alfreddson if he's out again.
I agree with all of this. Unfortunately for us, when the Sens play their best game against the Rangers' best game, the Rangers are a bit better. The differential between offenses in Ottawa's favour is outweighted by the differential in defenses in New York's favour; we outshot you and our goalie played very well, but your defensive play is just too good. If both teams play the same way tonight as they did on Monday, we need to rain shots on you and we need to crash the net a lot more. No Alfie makes a big difference, and losing him hurts us a lot more than losing Hagelin apparently hurts you.
tonight's game will be the same grind it has been so far in each game, but i do expect the rangers to pull it off on the henrik factor alone.
I'm not gonna say you need to score fluky goals to beat Hank, but when he's on his game on nights like game 3 you definitely need some luck. The high shot attempts are obviously going to make it more likely you score but against the Rangers between their willingness to block shots and their backstop in Lundqvist, firing away is only part of the equation.
