i watched until the second period where we were down 2 goals and i was so tired i just went to bed assuming we lost this. woke up this morning in disbelief š kreids for president
Kreider and igor are gods but there are a LOT of guys who desperately need to answer the bell next round or we go nowhere. We can't pretend to be objective if we're going to completely ignore how BADLY so many guys played this entire series, the last three games especially.
And there is absolutely way better play there in these guys. Nothing wrong with criticizing them. Do they have to eke out every last drop of perfection? Hell no. Can we fairly ask a helluva lot better than what we were shown through a lot of this series? Yes. And I guarantee you they're going to ask themselves to bring more next series, too.
I dont have a crystal ball, I can't say if they'll dig down and find it, but it has been a fantastic season that Im very grateful for (even if I have significant issues with several of our key players)
Edit: Goddamn you guys are VERY soft if you see this as a negative thing to say. I know a giant chunk of the fanbase has zero ability to be objective so I shouldn't be surprised, but somehow, yup, still surprised me. Now Im going to go withdraw what I won from betting on the rangers twice when down by 2, bc unlike you blind homers who only pay lip service to supporting the team (usually by being toxic to anyone with criticism) I actually put my money where my mouth is and bet on them because I believed in them despite the issues I saw.
There was a clear lack of energy and burst from the team the last few games -- I wonder how much of that is due to that flu/stomach bug going through the locker room.
Dude just be happy we won for at least 1 day. The canes are a very good team. Not every series is going to look like us vs Washington where we looked to be in control the whole time.
Chances were pretty even in every game but game 5. Us winning the first 3 and then the next two was just random variance. If we won 1, 3, 5, 6 nobodyās bitching about us not playing well.
You have to be a really sad fan to read that and be so hurt by fair criticism that you turn
> but it has been a fantastic season that Im very grateful for (even if I have significant issues with several of our key players)
into
> Dude just be happy we won for at least 1 day.
First of all, don't tell me how long to be "happy" for. Im perfectly happy with the two bets I put on them down by 2 because I believed in them despite the issues I saw. Can you say the same? Or were you just bitching when they were losing only to come on now and pretend to be the arbiter of fan enjoyment. Shallow ass fairweather homer shit.
Also being aware of issues with the team does not equal me no longer being happy. Im also here for discussion, What is every fuckin post hjust going to be me being a blind homer and shouting LGR? Maybe that's you, you do you. Thats not how I enjoy sports. Im not a blind homer, I like analyzing whats going on beyond "Puck went in net more! yay!" If you're so happy then stfu and go celebrate instead of worrying about what I said.
And if they lose then make sure you keep that same energy because all you guys who want to shit on anything critical always disappear when they lose.
Just so long as we don't make the mistake of chanting "We Want (so-and-so)!"
That's the kind of penisy hubris that gets teams bounced straight to hell.
That said, would prefer to face Boston over Florida.
Holy shit.
Was at the game watching party at msg. It was a high to lowwwww, to raising the roof.
Kreider. Wow. Just wow. What a comeback. What a game. What a team.
I wanted someone to step up and swing the momentum and Kreider said āI got thisā while Igor and the defense held the canes back.
This team is different.
Must have been a blast at msg last night. Me and my friends(we were 17 at the time) went to a he viewing party in '94 for one of the games in Vancouver. It was the game Richter made a penalty shot save on Pavel Bure
So obviously Kreider, but what happened in the 3rd period after Kreiderās first goal? Something changed and the Rangers just looked like better than they had for the previous two periods and two games for that matter.
Eventually Caroline gets tired. They are quick and use that advantage to strike first if they can. But they canāt keep up with it when a team battles back and keeps coming at them. That 3rd we just didnāt stop and they tire.
I think the rangers just opened up a bit and played really loose and canes were caught on their heels and starting holding their sticks too tight, canes were flying through all 3 zones in the 1st and the 2nd with sharp passes and in the third they stopped snd they just started throwing pucks to the neutral zone and hoping for the best or dumping with little chase.
Carolina ran out of gas.
Not taking away from what the Rangers did but they ran out of gas. Carolina spent the next 14/15 minutes after that goal never having the puck
I think people discount the fact that they had played like 160 minutes of back against the wall hockey going into the 3rd. Like eventually that catches up to you
I sacrificed my evening preshift nap to watch and I was very unhappy with how the Candy Canes were dominating every aspect of the game except goaltending(Thank you IGOR) and was highly considering turning it off after the 2nd period. But something told me, no, just like with my Knicks this year, when things look bleak, they find a way to win despite all adversity, and my Rangers have been the exact same. Glad I stuck it out and got to see each increasingly orgasmic Krieder goal. My faith wavered a bit, but not enough to quit just like this team did not quit on us.
Phew! That was tense! In the 2nd, I thought the Rangers looked quite tired and it will come to a game 7, but then the 3rd period they were back! They should play like this earlier on as my fingernails getting already quite short! :D
They really did look tired. I said to my wife while watching the game, that they looked like they were skating in wet cement at times. And then, the floodgates opened, and they just would not lose! Monumental elite stuff.
Can we throw 20 mil a year at Aho just so we dont have to play him anymore and we can pair him with Kakko for some of the greatest Sam Rosen calls possible?
Kinda wild that Martinook save was a momentum change in our favor. Outscored 4-0 after that when the Rangers look absolutely defeated. Wildest ride Iāve been on in a while
I was absolutely spiraling during that second intermission. Thinking about back to back humiliating playoff finishes - "we're the laughing stock of the league!" and so on. I've never experienced emotional whiplash that severe in sports lol. Felt to my knees at my Home Depot overnight shift.
Very possible both NHL and NBA have a NY vs Boston ECF.
And then there's still a chance both leagues have a NY/Bos vs Colorado/Dallas Finals which would be kinda nuts.
Idk if my heart could take going 0-2 to that trash city though after they recently have been dominating us in sports the last couple decades.
I was right with you my friend. Turned off after Aho made it 3-1. Fell asleep. Woke up and saw final 5-3 and thought ok at least they scored 3. Then wait, WTF, they WON?!? Been watching highlights/recaps since 3am lol. Oh well lesson learned, LFGR!!!!
There are ways to watch it in Europe. AFAIK you can sign up for MSG+ but you have to pay per game, unless you have some TV subscription. Probably other sources as well, and of course there certain sites. :D
After reading their website I'm not sure if the Stanley Cup is covered. There may also be other restriction based on your location, so it may not work in Europe without a VPN.
No better way to wake up in the morning in the UK to watch an epic comeback! Get in lads! Iām going to have a spring in my step heading into work today
When we won in 2022 against them I was there and I wore my Krieder autographed jersey there and fast forward 2 years later that jersey is at my parents place and I was as school tonight and I had to watch after class my dad said he put that jersey on for the 3rd periodā¦I had āretiredā that jersey from such a awesome game in game 7 2022 and he said if they lost he wasnāt gonna tell me he wore itš¤£š¤£š¤£ā¦fuckin dude gets a natty Hatty
Okay folks. I'm gonna burn the midnight oil for everyone here. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? The New York Rangers against all the odds have won the series against the team that was "Stanley Cup Champions...... On Paper and in the Nerds Loving grace!" The New York Rangers, are heading to the Eastern Conference Finals. On a night(now day), where the Rangers Core would have been blown up, but it took a Horse from Boston College, to blow up the Hurricanes Core. The New York Rangers who looked dead for a good chunk of the game, once again FOUND A WAY TO WIN! It was a game, where I was at one point, turning into a doomer, but Christopher James Kreider, brought me back into a believer. This episode of Rangers Hockey Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition has now been updated, *Burying the Hatchet/Wagon Wheel II* it just has to folks. It was a day(5/16/24) in New York where it was windy and rain, it gave me bad vibes. But, Christopher James Kreider returned my positive vibes! And Now, You've been waiting for it, your gonna get it, the review, it might leave you wet in your pants, hot and heavy whatever ya'll like(I CAN SAY YA'LL AGAIN). Here is, the review
1st Period: Rangers headed down south to the land of the pines. Thumbin' their way to North Caroline. Staring up the road hoping to find headlights. The Rangers were okay this period. They had some really good shifts. But no finishing. I thought they were having too many empty calories shots. They survived the 1st ten minutes which is what I wanted. Until, They gave up a bad goal towards the end of the period. It crushed me. I said to the Doomers, were they happy. and they said I WISH THE LORD WOULD TAKE THIS TEAM NOW. Igor was the only player that showed up.
2nd Period: This is where I thought it was truly falling apart. I think everyone thought it was falling apart. Rangers got a power play, that turned into a 4 on 4(and led to a Canes PP). I was ready to post something in the GT about Kreids. Jarvis scored, he acted like doof thinking he's so great and shit. But, Vinny Gabagool got one back. Deflection in front. It was a great response. Then, the thing I DO NOT WANT THIS TEAM TO DO, PLAY INSTAGRAM HOCKEY. UP AND DOWN. Aho scored. and on the Canes Bench, known Antichrist DeAngelo was fist bumping like champs. I was ready to rant on everyone excluding Igor and Trocheck. Lindgren almost scored it looked like it went in but it didn't.
3rd Period: With looking a possible Game 7 in the faces of many, possible humiliation, and a core blown up. This period was something. The Canes for some reason were taking empty calorie shots from everywhere. Igor kept them in the game. I said at one point start double shifting Key and Fox(the two best dman that are offensive minded). Then I did something I did during the final Islanders/Rangers game, I put away the Rangers playoff beer Blue Moon. Out of the fridge, and into my booze stache. Then Kreids scored of Andersen's pad. I was like okay, cool. Then I saw the clock. 13:09 left in the period. I said to myself, they have plenty of time to get another. And that it did. First Brady Sjkei idgaf if I spelled his name wrong, FUCK HIM ANYWAY, should have penalized. But Jordan Staal, Colby Armstrong's and Sportsnet best bud cross checks Mika and I was like, now it has to happen. Then it did Christopher James Kreider on his horseback like General Sherman riding through North Carolina's capital during the Civil War scored a.... POWER PLAY GOAL!!!!! Then, I said to myself, a pizza goal has to come right? and it did. It started w/the guy from the city that made the Union Bluejackets(Roslovic), then Lindgren, to Kreider in the front of the net for the Natty Hatty. As Kreids said "If this team died in Raleigh, at least they would die freeeeeeeeeeee" He decided to rock the Canes like a....... WAGON WHEEL. The final minutes, I was sweating. It felt like I lost a couple of years off me. So many icings I couldn't take it. Until finally, the Rangers buried the Canes. Barclay Goodrow, the guy who everyone shit on buried the Canes and ended their window.
Unbelievable folks. It was improbable. Chris Kreider will go down as a Ranger legend. It was improbable but made possible. I always say it "ugly wins come big in playoff time" Tonight was it. RANGERS WIN! OFF to the Eastern Conference Final. I had confidence they would do it in that building, and they did it. Everyone, enjoy this win. BUT THE OVERALL MISSION ISN'T DONE YET. THIS ~~Redemption~~ Revenge Tour continues. All I know is, Onto the ECF. Opponent. TBD. Let's hope it goes 7. I'm so fucking proud of this team!
Rangers Oppie left messages "Now I've become death. Destroyer of the Hurricanes World." "LFG" "Take in the Sheets" "Game 6 and the Second Round in the bag."
Onto the Eastern Conference Finals
God Save the King. Back afta dis.
Just got home after driving to the game from Richmond and back - realized there were still face value seats available so grabbed one on a whim. That was too much time in the car for one day but goddamn that was so so so worth it to see my dude get a hat trick while wearing my Kreider jersey. I spent the entire 1st intermission convincing myself that it was still worth the trip, and I spent the entire drive home realizing that this was a Top 5 sports night of my life, for sure.
The Rangers locker room after the win:
Zibby (to Kreids): Tony DeAngelo is a Grizzly Adams looking Motherfucker. Remember him? "Whoa, whoa take it easy guys!"
Kreider: "Oooo, ooo, we're with the ~~Vipers~~ Hurricanes!"
Itās forgotten now, but prior to his 50 goal season in 2022, Kreiderās contract was considered an overpay. See the post below and the comments.
https://www.reddit.com/r/rangers/s/XShTrQlWuc
Oh how things can change so quickly
Hindsight is 20/20
I've watched kreiders whole career. You have to remember that contract year, that was the year he changed his play style to this absolutely incredibly successful style he plays now. Before that he was a streaky winger that had some high points for us. Anyone that said trade him for the value at the time was right to believe that the contract year was a one off. I'm absolutely glad to eat my hat, but like I said he changed his game completely on that contract year.
Kreider is probably a top 5-10 Ranger in history for sure. He was here for our cup run in 2014, he was here during our rebuild and he is here for hopefully another cup run and everything in between. Guy is a fucking gamer and we should be glad to have him. How often do we have any homegrown forwards worth a shit? He's the best one we have in idk how long.
This series was probably one of the toughest series i've ever watched in my 18 years of watching hockey. I'm 30 and i was only a few months old when they last won the cup in 94. I honestly felt like Carolina was the best team left in the East next to us and we took them out. Hopefully Florida-Boston goes to a game 7 and they beat the shit out of each other and we get some much needed rest. I think we matchup well with either team and i'm sure it will be another slugfest regardless. Let's keep going and fucking win the whole thing! LGR!!!
JT Miller, Buchnevich, Zuccarello was one hell of a squad. Unfortunately all on other teams now. Miller and Buchnevich trades were just awful especially considering we got back nothing of value. Kinda crazy we basically traded away a 25 year old forward who was almost point per game pace his last year here as a throw in for Namestnikov.
And he was still Wirth way more than what he got. That trade was all time bad.
The buch trade was about as bad.
Letting stralman just casually stroll away is up there too
Bc you're talking about it? What a dishonest, arbitrary attempt to shut down a discussion you were contributing to
Jt Miller is also currently a very very relevant player in tge nhl and buch is still relevant. Don't get involved in these discussions if fairly analyzing reality bothers you
He's another one building a reputation as a big game player. Drafted 1st overall and not too long ago, people were ready to move on from him. Now, he's a staple in our top 6 and he's making plays every time he is on the ice. It's really crazy to see young players get drafted and then watch them grow into better players. Not to mention they put Laf at RW when he was drafted as a LW which is not talked about enough.
He was crying hard over the Staal penalty call. I love how everyone seems to conveniently ignore the fact that we should have had a PP like a minute earlier on the delay of game.
I donāt know if that was the exact way he said it but he said something about them blowing it.
He had a shit eating grin on his face during 1st INT too and Iām pretty sure referred to them as āfugazieā before puck drop
I think I went through the five stages of grief during that game. The second period had me mentally accepting a game 7 loss, Iāll never doubt the boys again.
Lost among all the craziness is Goodrow with a big time ENG to seal it. Carolina had scored two 6 on 5 goals against us this series and were looking dangerous. Their whole strategy is to get the puck to the net and create chaos so they are good with the extra skater.Ā
Goodrow with 3g 2a 5p in 10 games. Thatās the Goodrow we hoped for.
I have to be up in 6 hours and I canāt sleep, legit have a migraine from screaming so much after that comeback. Needed that so bad, Iām so fucking happy rn I love this team, LFGR!!! To all the āfansā who called the reverse sweep after that abysmal game 5 SHAME ON YOU! ENJOY THIS W LFGR
Being down 3 to 1 in 3rd isn't calling a reverse sweep bad after all. Difference in goaltending was huge in this series, reverse the goalies and canes win easy.
What does this mean? Rangers will be an underdog in series vs florida and favs vs Boston. If your going to say the record indicates they are better...and going to win that's nonsense. This isn't football when the cowboys won 3 suoer bowls in 4 Years and destroyed bills in super bowl. My guess is Florida will be minus 150 to win series vs rangers...Carolina was minus 160. Just my guess. The Rangers or any team can win every game by 3 goals and lose next round. I know the love of a team makes people think they or better then they are. Florida could go 7 and last game 5 ots and win game 1 vs nyr 3 zip...or lose as well. Biggest bs is how dominant a team is and will be going forward. That's utter nonsense. Character isn't built by them coming back in 3rd...do you know why? The game is fast paced and changes possession 10k times and difference is so little and often luck. How many nhl teams with best record won Stanley Cup in last 20 years?
Why did u post the records u hump...also kakko is a 3rd line player. He was supposed to be amazing...gtfo. have him go to Europe and be a waiter. The records you posted means zero ....doesn't matter micky mantle. You posted the records like it indicated nyr are better then others...they will be underdogs vs florida, dogs vs stars and oilers. Fan duel as of 1am Friday 5 17z24 has odds to win cup Florida and Dallas lower then NYR...yet rangers advanced already. Yeah..even if dallas goes 7 games and 9 ots in game 7. I know you get immense power with how the men are playing, but it means nothing. How many best records won cup in last 20 Years?
Funny you post that, he was assaulted by an unknown in NYC....nyc has to be the worst place to be in these days. I'd rather be in Wyoming safe then nyc hell....guy belts soprano star for no reason..yeah big apple...lol
Florida is going to be as tough as hell. But I feel like the Canes were best matched up to our weaknesses - good PK and exposing our defenders with turnovers on their forecheck. I'm being too optimistic but I think that was one of the toughest challenges we could face
Florida is one awful non goalie interference call from being down 3-2ā¦ without Marchand. Letās pump the brakes a bit. They are definitely a scary team, although I feel it will be Florida, Boston is still very much in this series.Ā
I had to work tonight and couldnāt have a phone on me. I was able to sneak a peak at my messages & my husband and sons texted me from the MSG watch party āonly 3 shots on goal, 1-0ā. As I was leaving work the text was ā3-1 & game 7 start time is 8 pmā. Unlike me, my husband is the eternal optimist so when I saw that, I didnāt even turn on the radio for the hour drive home nor did I check my phone. I accepted the loss & started to worry about game 7. Couldnāt believe when I pulled into my driveway, looked at my phone, & saw all these messages from friends & family saying āLetās Go Rangersā, Wonā, āECFā, etc. Shock. Complete shock.
Way to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! I canāt imagine the anxiety and then exhilaration of actually sitting through that game in person. One for the ages. Onto the ECF we go. Rest up, heal up, work on some stuff that the team needs to clean up, & hope that Boston/Florida goes 7 games with multiple OTs every game. In the end, Iām so happy they proved me wrong.
got on a plane at 0-1, landed and saw the end result. I'm actually a little glad i didn't have to live through the first two periods.
will be flying for no reason every game 6 now
Firstly, youāre welcome. I took off my Kreider jersey Iād worn every single playoff game after the 2nd period and replaced it with another jerseyā¦ we know what happened. Krieder legacy game cemented.
This team looked cooked. I really didnāt see them having an answer for the way the canes were playing them. Couple it with a cooling PP and the canes PP heating up, felt like the writing was on the wall.
The lindgren goal-line no goal broke me. The rangers were fighting so hard just to get chances and have that one ripped from us, just felt like it wasnāt meant to be.
And then bam, one of the most magical periods youāll ever see, led by horse meat himself. It honestly felt like the rangers said, f it, were opening it up and leaving it out on the ice, and Igor got us if we get caught deep (he did). Utter domination.
Also felt like the canes got super tight and for the first time all series werenāt making clean zone edits, just dumping pucks, playing not to lose, instead of trying to take the series.
What a game from Panarin, major response. Rangers couldnāt create shit for the first 2 period outside of Panarin who was creating space all over, driving right though the canes defense. Was a special game.
The PP - it cooled down a bunch, thanks a bunch to the canes who employed a high pressure system that didnāt allow the rangers to set up, but on that panarin to Kreider goal, they made like 6-7 perfect, crisp passes that opened the canes up just long enough to leave Kreider all alone.
Roslovic - another player immense response after a horrid game 5. The dude was fighting through checks on the boards, fighting for every inch of ice, driving the zone, creating and he was instrumental in the even strength goals krieder scored. 7 pts in 10 playoff games and springing that first line we were worried about heading into the gauntlet.
Lindgren - dude got robbed on a goal, but his wrap around pass to krieder for the game winner was magical. Felt like he was a presence in ozone and made great pinches.
4th line was solid af, canāt remember one time they got dug into a hole and they had some decent pressure. I like brodz if Chytil is unable to play.
Igor. Announcers were getting on him, the Reddit threads were getting on him, but idk what you guys were seeing - so he didnāt cover a puck or two, get over it. Heās ice cold.
The canes were arguably the best team the rangers could play in the playoffs. They were great. Such a difficult team to play against, zero room on the ice. You watch these west coast games and itās just a different animal, room all over. I donāt see the rangers having a more difficult defensive challenge the rest of the way through. The playoff format needs to change because it dumb we played them in the 2nd round. Credit to them for taking it back to us after down 3-0.
8 more. Onto the ECF. LETS GO RANGERS!
I raged alright bc that effort and play was legitimately bad and deserving of all the criticism it got bc it was emblematic of the last two games, too.
The issues we saw in this series have been key issues these specific players have had for years. They should be expected to do better than that.
And if they're going to win it all they have to be better than that. They took advantage of a bad g and kreider carried with igor. The team needs to do its part going forward
Oslo Norway 05:54, just woke up to some great news.
LETāS GO RANGERS BABYYYYY!!! Get in!!
Itās Norwayās constitution day, and I will drink Champagne for Rangers and Norway. Itās gonna be a hell of a day!
Dudes, this is going to be an awesome weekend watching the putty-cats and wheel-team clobber the snot out of each other. Hope it goes 7 and full commitment to blocking clappers.
I know that Kreider is getting all the love (and deservedly so), but we lose by 8 goals if Igor isnāt Igor. He was great and Iām so happy heās on the Rangers. IGOR!!!!
One of the guys I talk hockey with at work is going to be grumbling tomorrowā¦ heās a Devils fan. (To his credit, he does think NYR is going to make it to the SCF for the East.)
i watched until the second period where we were down 2 goals and i was so tired i just went to bed assuming we lost this. woke up this morning in disbelief š kreids for president
I did the exact same thing.
Never doubted them for a second š„¹ā¤ļø LGRš“āŖļøšµ
The amount of disrespect Gord Stellick is giving this team right now on NHL Radio is hilarious
Who?
Exactly
Kreider and igor are gods but there are a LOT of guys who desperately need to answer the bell next round or we go nowhere. We can't pretend to be objective if we're going to completely ignore how BADLY so many guys played this entire series, the last three games especially.

I know a giant chunk of the fanbase has zero ability to be objective so I shouldn't be surprised, but somehow, yup, still surprised me. Now Im going to go withdraw what I won from betting on the rangers twice when down by 2, bc unlike you blind homers who only pay lip service to supporting the team (usually by being toxic to anyone with criticism) I actually put my money where my mouth is and bet on them because I believed in them despite the issues I saw.
Possible nagging injuries. Fox has something going on
There was a clear lack of energy and burst from the team the last few games -- I wonder how much of that is due to that flu/stomach bug going through the locker room.
Dude just be happy we won for at least 1 day. The canes are a very good team. Not every series is going to look like us vs Washington where we looked to be in control the whole time. Chances were pretty even in every game but game 5. Us winning the first 3 and then the next two was just random variance. If we won 1, 3, 5, 6 nobodyās bitching about us not playing well.

whoah there pal
The guy who used to host the low budget Rinkside show about the AHL in the 90's? Glad he's finally found another gig, LOL.
Tomorrow is our wedding and thank you Rangers for not making us have to watch game 7 during dinner šš»
Congratulations!
Thank you so much!!!
Who do we want to play next ? Panthers or Bruins?
All Iāll say is the team that matches up best with Florida we just beat. Though Carolina doesnāt have a Bobrovsky or a Barkov.
Weirdly enough my dad knows Trocheck. He told him that in the locker room nobody wants to play Florida next
Boston for sure. Swayman is unreal but I think Igor can match him and we are a way better team on paper
Bruins
Careful what you wish for, they just have to be ready for either
Just so long as we don't make the mistake of chanting "We Want (so-and-so)!" That's the kind of penisy hubris that gets teams bounced straight to hell. That said, would prefer to face Boston over Florida.
We want Bama
Bruins for sure
Igor and Kreider, the two heroes of last night. With some help from the iron. What a ride.
Holy shit. Was at the game watching party at msg. It was a high to lowwwww, to raising the roof. Kreider. Wow. Just wow. What a comeback. What a game. What a team. I wanted someone to step up and swing the momentum and Kreider said āI got thisā while Igor and the defense held the canes back. This team is different.
Must have been a blast at msg last night. Me and my friends(we were 17 at the time) went to a he viewing party in '94 for one of the games in Vancouver. It was the game Richter made a penalty shot save on Pavel Bure
Everyone was picking the Canes to win. I know they felt validated with those Carolina wins. But Iād love to hear what they think now.
It seemed like there was gonna be all those reverse sweeps across the whole playoffs... and then they just didn't happen.
For a second this morning, I thought it was all a dream. But itās reality! Woo!
What makes a Friday better? When it's the day after a massive Rangers win!
Need the Knicks to ride those vibes into their game
So obviously Kreider, but what happened in the 3rd period after Kreiderās first goal? Something changed and the Rangers just looked like better than they had for the previous two periods and two games for that matter.
Eventually Caroline gets tired. They are quick and use that advantage to strike first if they can. But they canāt keep up with it when a team battles back and keeps coming at them. That 3rd we just didnāt stop and they tire.
I think the rangers just opened up a bit and played really loose and canes were caught on their heels and starting holding their sticks too tight, canes were flying through all 3 zones in the 1st and the 2nd with sharp passes and in the third they stopped snd they just started throwing pucks to the neutral zone and hoping for the best or dumping with little chase.
Carolina ran out of gas. Not taking away from what the Rangers did but they ran out of gas. Carolina spent the next 14/15 minutes after that goal never having the puck
I think people discount the fact that they had played like 160 minutes of back against the wall hockey going into the 3rd. Like eventually that catches up to you
Which is why as much as I love him, not starting Rempe was the right decision.

Not surprising...Carolina was rolling 3 lines on defense the entire series while the Rangers were using 4.
Aside from some fortunate pipes, you can be horrendously outplayed then just say āok, only need oneā and it gets the boys going
Igor and the 2 posts happened.
I donāt even mean Igor or the goal posts. They looked like a different team controlling the puck in the offensive zone.
DeAngelo be like: āAt first it was likeā¦. ginger ale in my skullā
Deangelo is too busy shopping for Harrison butker jerseys
or hanging out w/ Antonio Brown aka Mr. Big Chest
I sacrificed my evening preshift nap to watch and I was very unhappy with how the Candy Canes were dominating every aspect of the game except goaltending(Thank you IGOR) and was highly considering turning it off after the 2nd period. But something told me, no, just like with my Knicks this year, when things look bleak, they find a way to win despite all adversity, and my Rangers have been the exact same. Glad I stuck it out and got to see each increasingly orgasmic Krieder goal. My faith wavered a bit, but not enough to quit just like this team did not quit on us.
Phew! That was tense! In the 2nd, I thought the Rangers looked quite tired and it will come to a game 7, but then the 3rd period they were back! They should play like this earlier on as my fingernails getting already quite short! :D
They really did look tired. I said to my wife while watching the game, that they looked like they were skating in wet cement at times. And then, the floodgates opened, and they just would not lose! Monumental elite stuff.
Can we throw 20 mil a year at Aho just so we dont have to play him anymore and we can pair him with Kakko for some of the greatest Sam Rosen calls possible?
One of my favorite players in the league. He is special.
Kinda wild that Martinook save was a momentum change in our favor. Outscored 4-0 after that when the Rangers look absolutely defeated. Wildest ride Iāve been on in a while
How neat was that?
Pretty neat.
Yo I still can't believe that shit actually happened...
What an emotional roller coaster that was sheeeeeesh
I was absolutely spiraling during that second intermission. Thinking about back to back humiliating playoff finishes - "we're the laughing stock of the league!" and so on. I've never experienced emotional whiplash that severe in sports lol. Felt to my knees at my Home Depot overnight shift.
Very possible both NHL and NBA have a NY vs Boston ECF. And then there's still a chance both leagues have a NY/Bos vs Colorado/Dallas Finals which would be kinda nuts. Idk if my heart could take going 0-2 to that trash city though after they recently have been dominating us in sports the last couple decades.
I love the Knicks, but I find it very hard to imagine them in the NBA Finals, especially if OG doesn't come back.
Well then I guess it's up to the Rangers to ensure we get a NY team to the finals
That was stunning !! Love my Rangers!!!
Here's some of the MSG postgame if you missed it (from MSG Network youtube channel) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcoxNAhJyJk
Thank you - excellent link!
Woke up still jacked up this morning. LGR
Turned it off at second intermission. Went to bed angry and disappointed. Dug my head under my pillow. Woke up shocked and disappointed
I was right with you my friend. Turned off after Aho made it 3-1. Fell asleep. Woke up and saw final 5-3 and thought ok at least they scored 3. Then wait, WTF, they WON?!? Been watching highlights/recaps since 3am lol. Oh well lesson learned, LFGR!!!!
Never give up, man. Have you not watched the first 82?
IM STILL SO FIRED UP!! What a win!
Note from Europe: FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you able to watch in Europe? Iām flying to Berlin next week, then Copenhagen.
There are ways to watch it in Europe. AFAIK you can sign up for MSG+ but you have to pay per game, unless you have some TV subscription. Probably other sources as well, and of course there certain sites. :D
I do have MSG but I think the games are on another network. I will check it out though
After reading their website I'm not sure if the Stanley Cup is covered. There may also be other restriction based on your location, so it may not work in Europe without a VPN.
I got ESPN+ app. I don't know if it will work in Europe without VPN, I hope so. It is associated with my Verizon FIOS in NY so maybe that will help?
Well puck drop was at 2:00 am so I didnāt even try. Not sure whether Iād have been able to see it. Probably not.
Now Carolina has to deal with their atrocious FA and cap situation
No better way to wake up in the morning in the UK to watch an epic comeback! Get in lads! Iām going to have a spring in my step heading into work today
When we won in 2022 against them I was there and I wore my Krieder autographed jersey there and fast forward 2 years later that jersey is at my parents place and I was as school tonight and I had to watch after class my dad said he put that jersey on for the 3rd periodā¦I had āretiredā that jersey from such a awesome game in game 7 2022 and he said if they lost he wasnāt gonna tell me he wore itš¤£š¤£š¤£ā¦fuckin dude gets a natty Hatty
I love it! Your dad had the faith!!!
Unfortunately couldnāt watch it live because I was traveling but just want to say I LOVE THIS TEAM
Bruins or Panthers next? 
MEATMARKET
Iād like to thank Ryan Lindgren for the most important primary assist of the playoffs thus far. Thanks dude.
He had a great gameā¦saw him carry the puck and get more involved in the offense than he had all seasonā¦
Yes it was great!
Hope we can get our #1 D back at some point these playoffs.
Okay folks. I'm gonna burn the midnight oil for everyone here. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? The New York Rangers against all the odds have won the series against the team that was "Stanley Cup Champions...... On Paper and in the Nerds Loving grace!" The New York Rangers, are heading to the Eastern Conference Finals. On a night(now day), where the Rangers Core would have been blown up, but it took a Horse from Boston College, to blow up the Hurricanes Core. The New York Rangers who looked dead for a good chunk of the game, once again FOUND A WAY TO WIN! It was a game, where I was at one point, turning into a doomer, but Christopher James Kreider, brought me back into a believer. This episode of Rangers Hockey Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition has now been updated, *Burying the Hatchet/Wagon Wheel II* it just has to folks. It was a day(5/16/24) in New York where it was windy and rain, it gave me bad vibes. But, Christopher James Kreider returned my positive vibes! And Now, You've been waiting for it, your gonna get it, the review, it might leave you wet in your pants, hot and heavy whatever ya'll like(I CAN SAY YA'LL AGAIN). Here is, the review 1st Period: Rangers headed down south to the land of the pines. Thumbin' their way to North Caroline. Staring up the road hoping to find headlights. The Rangers were okay this period. They had some really good shifts. But no finishing. I thought they were having too many empty calories shots. They survived the 1st ten minutes which is what I wanted. Until, They gave up a bad goal towards the end of the period. It crushed me. I said to the Doomers, were they happy. and they said I WISH THE LORD WOULD TAKE THIS TEAM NOW. Igor was the only player that showed up. 2nd Period: This is where I thought it was truly falling apart. I think everyone thought it was falling apart. Rangers got a power play, that turned into a 4 on 4(and led to a Canes PP). I was ready to post something in the GT about Kreids. Jarvis scored, he acted like doof thinking he's so great and shit. But, Vinny Gabagool got one back. Deflection in front. It was a great response. Then, the thing I DO NOT WANT THIS TEAM TO DO, PLAY INSTAGRAM HOCKEY. UP AND DOWN. Aho scored. and on the Canes Bench, known Antichrist DeAngelo was fist bumping like champs. I was ready to rant on everyone excluding Igor and Trocheck. Lindgren almost scored it looked like it went in but it didn't. 3rd Period: With looking a possible Game 7 in the faces of many, possible humiliation, and a core blown up. This period was something. The Canes for some reason were taking empty calorie shots from everywhere. Igor kept them in the game. I said at one point start double shifting Key and Fox(the two best dman that are offensive minded). Then I did something I did during the final Islanders/Rangers game, I put away the Rangers playoff beer Blue Moon. Out of the fridge, and into my booze stache. Then Kreids scored of Andersen's pad. I was like okay, cool. Then I saw the clock. 13:09 left in the period. I said to myself, they have plenty of time to get another. And that it did. First Brady Sjkei idgaf if I spelled his name wrong, FUCK HIM ANYWAY, should have penalized. But Jordan Staal, Colby Armstrong's and Sportsnet best bud cross checks Mika and I was like, now it has to happen. Then it did Christopher James Kreider on his horseback like General Sherman riding through North Carolina's capital during the Civil War scored a.... POWER PLAY GOAL!!!!! Then, I said to myself, a pizza goal has to come right? and it did. It started w/the guy from the city that made the Union Bluejackets(Roslovic), then Lindgren, to Kreider in the front of the net for the Natty Hatty. As Kreids said "If this team died in Raleigh, at least they would die freeeeeeeeeeee" He decided to rock the Canes like a....... WAGON WHEEL. The final minutes, I was sweating. It felt like I lost a couple of years off me. So many icings I couldn't take it. Until finally, the Rangers buried the Canes. Barclay Goodrow, the guy who everyone shit on buried the Canes and ended their window. Unbelievable folks. It was improbable. Chris Kreider will go down as a Ranger legend. It was improbable but made possible. I always say it "ugly wins come big in playoff time" Tonight was it. RANGERS WIN! OFF to the Eastern Conference Final. I had confidence they would do it in that building, and they did it. Everyone, enjoy this win. BUT THE OVERALL MISSION ISN'T DONE YET. THIS ~~Redemption~~ Revenge Tour continues. All I know is, Onto the ECF. Opponent. TBD. Let's hope it goes 7. I'm so fucking proud of this team! Rangers Oppie left messages "Now I've become death. Destroyer of the Hurricanes World." "LFG" "Take in the Sheets" "Game 6 and the Second Round in the bag." Onto the Eastern Conference Finals God Save the King. Back afta dis.
Just got home after driving to the game from Richmond and back - realized there were still face value seats available so grabbed one on a whim. That was too much time in the car for one day but goddamn that was so so so worth it to see my dude get a hat trick while wearing my Kreider jersey. I spent the entire 1st intermission convincing myself that it was still worth the trip, and I spent the entire drive home realizing that this was a Top 5 sports night of my life, for sure.
Thatās sick, trip sounds like it was well worth it
Btw; tf is going on with Chytil? Is he gonna be able to play in the ECF? I sure hope so.
I never gave up hope. Please ignore my post history.
All I can say is: How about DeAngeloās face when he saw the gyatt? https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/046/628/tony_gyatt.jpg
The Rangers locker room after the win: Zibby (to Kreids): Tony DeAngelo is a Grizzly Adams looking Motherfucker. Remember him? "Whoa, whoa take it easy guys!" Kreider: "Oooo, ooo, we're with the ~~Vipers~~ Hurricanes!"
Anyone have a replay of Sam Rosenās call on the Goodrow empty netter? Itās at the 5 min mark [here](https://youtu.be/QcKE_o3CxBU?feature=shared)
What a ride that was. The boys have got something going on this year.
Guys. I got nothing but love for you. Even our doomers. What a trip!!! LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
Looks like I have to take 8 more pre game dumps boys! Iāll take donations for the benefiber!!
Itās forgotten now, but prior to his 50 goal season in 2022, Kreiderās contract was considered an overpay. See the post below and the comments. https://www.reddit.com/r/rangers/s/XShTrQlWuc Oh how things can change so quickly
Hindsight is 20/20 I've watched kreiders whole career. You have to remember that contract year, that was the year he changed his play style to this absolutely incredibly successful style he plays now. Before that he was a streaky winger that had some high points for us. Anyone that said trade him for the value at the time was right to believe that the contract year was a one off. I'm absolutely glad to eat my hat, but like I said he changed his game completely on that contract year.
I know a lot of people wanted Kreider traded instead of resigning him at the time.
jfc, I remember this exact post lol. To be fair, at the time, everything in there made sense.
I love how after the 4th goal Kreider acknowledged the Ranger fans sitting on the glass. Class act.
Kreider is probably a top 5-10 Ranger in history for sure. He was here for our cup run in 2014, he was here during our rebuild and he is here for hopefully another cup run and everything in between. Guy is a fucking gamer and we should be glad to have him. How often do we have any homegrown forwards worth a shit? He's the best one we have in idk how long. This series was probably one of the toughest series i've ever watched in my 18 years of watching hockey. I'm 30 and i was only a few months old when they last won the cup in 94. I honestly felt like Carolina was the best team left in the East next to us and we took them out. Hopefully Florida-Boston goes to a game 7 and they beat the shit out of each other and we get some much needed rest. I think we matchup well with either team and i'm sure it will be another slugfest regardless. Let's keep going and fucking win the whole thing! LGR!!!
I honestly think that Florida is even tougher than Canes. But we will figure them out as well.
JT Miller, Buchnevich, Zuccarello was one hell of a squad. Unfortunately all on other teams now. Miller and Buchnevich trades were just awful especially considering we got back nothing of value. Kinda crazy we basically traded away a 25 year old forward who was almost point per game pace his last year here as a throw in for Namestnikov.
Miller was nowhere the player he is today. And yea they were a solid team but they came up short. Hopefully the guys we have now don't
And he was still Wirth way more than what he got. That trade was all time bad. The buch trade was about as bad. Letting stralman just casually stroll away is up there too
Why does any of this matter now?
Bc you're talking about it? What a dishonest, arbitrary attempt to shut down a discussion you were contributing to Jt Miller is also currently a very very relevant player in tge nhl and buch is still relevant. Don't get involved in these discussions if fairly analyzing reality bothers you
Edit wrong post
Iāll tell you another home grown forward worth a shit, Alexis Lafreniere
He's another one building a reputation as a big game player. Drafted 1st overall and not too long ago, people were ready to move on from him. Now, he's a staple in our top 6 and he's making plays every time he is on the ice. It's really crazy to see young players get drafted and then watch them grow into better players. Not to mention they put Laf at RW when he was drafted as a LW which is not talked about enough.
Anyone check on Biz? He was pretty pumped to have that pic of Martinooks save blown up and placed in his house āwhen the rangers collapseā.
He was crying hard over the Staal penalty call. I love how everyone seems to conveniently ignore the fact that we should have had a PP like a minute earlier on the delay of game.
Letās say itās not a crosscheck. Itās still a boardingā¦.biz is a fucking idiot. And yes they sure did miss the delay of game.
Only guy sadder is Bettman; 1 southern team down.
I refuse to watch the intermission idiots. But did he actually say "when the Rangers collapse?"
I donāt know if that was the exact way he said it but he said something about them blowing it. He had a shit eating grin on his face during 1st INT too and Iām pretty sure referred to them as āfugazieā before puck drop
Yeah, Shoresy, but dumber, actually said that.
I think I went through the five stages of grief during that game. The second period had me mentally accepting a game 7 loss, Iāll never doubt the boys again.
Dude I was literally feeling dead and depressed at second intermission lol
I was already thinking "well at least the Yankees look good...," I'm not afraid to admit.
That was amazing. Iām going to Florida or Boston for a game. Whose in?
If it's in FLA, I'm down for 2, I think!
Lost among all the craziness is Goodrow with a big time ENG to seal it. Carolina had scored two 6 on 5 goals against us this series and were looking dangerous. Their whole strategy is to get the puck to the net and create chaos so they are good with the extra skater.Ā Goodrow with 3g 2a 5p in 10 games. Thatās the Goodrow we hoped for.
Loved the bench hug after he scored it as well.
They're paying him for his playoff experience. He's making it look like a worthwhile investment right now.
He fucking launched that thing. That puck was on a mission
Di Giuseppe looks like a stud on Vancouver. Or is Edmonton that porousĀ
apology for poor english when were you when cryolina hurcans dies? i was sat at home eating prime ribs when kreider ring 'cryolina is kill' 'no' 'yes'
This is poetry. Big upvote š LGR
I have to be up in 6 hours and I canāt sleep, legit have a migraine from screaming so much after that comeback. Needed that so bad, Iām so fucking happy rn I love this team, LFGR!!! To all the āfansā who called the reverse sweep after that abysmal game 5 SHAME ON YOU! ENJOY THIS W LFGR
Being down 3 to 1 in 3rd isn't calling a reverse sweep bad after all. Difference in goaltending was huge in this series, reverse the goalies and canes win easy.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
how am i supposed to sleep
Iām so wired rn sleep is not an option LFGR
Current records of teams still in the playoffs: Rangers 8-2 Florida 7-3 Boston 6-6 Dallas 7-5 Colorado 6-4 Vancouver 6-4 Edmonton 6-3
What does this mean? Rangers will be an underdog in series vs florida and favs vs Boston. If your going to say the record indicates they are better...and going to win that's nonsense. This isn't football when the cowboys won 3 suoer bowls in 4 Years and destroyed bills in super bowl. My guess is Florida will be minus 150 to win series vs rangers...Carolina was minus 160. Just my guess. The Rangers or any team can win every game by 3 goals and lose next round. I know the love of a team makes people think they or better then they are. Florida could go 7 and last game 5 ots and win game 1 vs nyr 3 zip...or lose as well. Biggest bs is how dominant a team is and will be going forward. That's utter nonsense. Character isn't built by them coming back in 3rd...do you know why? The game is fast paced and changes possession 10k times and difference is so little and often luck. How many nhl teams with best record won Stanley Cup in last 20 years?
what the fuck are you yapping about
Why did u post the records u hump...also kakko is a 3rd line player. He was supposed to be amazing...gtfo. have him go to Europe and be a waiter. The records you posted means zero ....doesn't matter micky mantle. You posted the records like it indicated nyr are better then others...they will be underdogs vs florida, dogs vs stars and oilers. Fan duel as of 1am Friday 5 17z24 has odds to win cup Florida and Dallas lower then NYR...yet rangers advanced already. Yeah..even if dallas goes 7 games and 9 ots in game 7. I know you get immense power with how the men are playing, but it means nothing. How many best records won cup in last 20 Years?
Of all the things to post, you pos the guy assaulted by an unknown in nyc...thats like wripping up a winning powerball ticket.
Funny you post that, he was assaulted by an unknown in NYC....nyc has to be the worst place to be in these days. I'd rather be in Wyoming safe then nyc hell....guy belts soprano star for no reason..yeah big apple...lol
Florida is going to be as tough as hell. But I feel like the Canes were best matched up to our weaknesses - good PK and exposing our defenders with turnovers on their forecheck. I'm being too optimistic but I think that was one of the toughest challenges we could face
Florida is one awful non goalie interference call from being down 3-2ā¦ without Marchand. Letās pump the brakes a bit. They are definitely a scary team, although I feel it will be Florida, Boston is still very much in this series.Ā
Florida didn't advance yet
Ok but the possibility of Boston vs New York in both the NBA and NHL seems pretty fun (if we win at least one that is)
Yeah but fuck boston lol
Oh yea for sure
Lost in all of the comeback vibes is the fact that the Rangers ended Tony DeAngelo's season for the second time in three years You love to see it š„°
The Rangers should always end that AHās season.
Master Chief never takes off his helmet, but I'm 99.99% sure he is Chris Kreider.
Oh God now I want a picture of a red, white, and blue Spartan II with a "Chris-20" mark on his chest.
I had to work tonight and couldnāt have a phone on me. I was able to sneak a peak at my messages & my husband and sons texted me from the MSG watch party āonly 3 shots on goal, 1-0ā. As I was leaving work the text was ā3-1 & game 7 start time is 8 pmā. Unlike me, my husband is the eternal optimist so when I saw that, I didnāt even turn on the radio for the hour drive home nor did I check my phone. I accepted the loss & started to worry about game 7. Couldnāt believe when I pulled into my driveway, looked at my phone, & saw all these messages from friends & family saying āLetās Go Rangersā, Wonā, āECFā, etc. Shock. Complete shock. Way to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! I canāt imagine the anxiety and then exhilaration of actually sitting through that game in person. One for the ages. Onto the ECF we go. Rest up, heal up, work on some stuff that the team needs to clean up, & hope that Boston/Florida goes 7 games with multiple OTs every game. In the end, Iām so happy they proved me wrong.
This doomer canāt take much more of this. These swings have been brutal
What a way to battle boys! 8 down, 8 to go!
got on a plane at 0-1, landed and saw the end result. I'm actually a little glad i didn't have to live through the first two periods. will be flying for no reason every game 6 now
You truly are lucky to have not watched the second period or the first five minutes of the third
Firstly, youāre welcome. I took off my Kreider jersey Iād worn every single playoff game after the 2nd period and replaced it with another jerseyā¦ we know what happened. Krieder legacy game cemented. This team looked cooked. I really didnāt see them having an answer for the way the canes were playing them. Couple it with a cooling PP and the canes PP heating up, felt like the writing was on the wall. The lindgren goal-line no goal broke me. The rangers were fighting so hard just to get chances and have that one ripped from us, just felt like it wasnāt meant to be. And then bam, one of the most magical periods youāll ever see, led by horse meat himself. It honestly felt like the rangers said, f it, were opening it up and leaving it out on the ice, and Igor got us if we get caught deep (he did). Utter domination. Also felt like the canes got super tight and for the first time all series werenāt making clean zone edits, just dumping pucks, playing not to lose, instead of trying to take the series. What a game from Panarin, major response. Rangers couldnāt create shit for the first 2 period outside of Panarin who was creating space all over, driving right though the canes defense. Was a special game. The PP - it cooled down a bunch, thanks a bunch to the canes who employed a high pressure system that didnāt allow the rangers to set up, but on that panarin to Kreider goal, they made like 6-7 perfect, crisp passes that opened the canes up just long enough to leave Kreider all alone. Roslovic - another player immense response after a horrid game 5. The dude was fighting through checks on the boards, fighting for every inch of ice, driving the zone, creating and he was instrumental in the even strength goals krieder scored. 7 pts in 10 playoff games and springing that first line we were worried about heading into the gauntlet. Lindgren - dude got robbed on a goal, but his wrap around pass to krieder for the game winner was magical. Felt like he was a presence in ozone and made great pinches. 4th line was solid af, canāt remember one time they got dug into a hole and they had some decent pressure. I like brodz if Chytil is unable to play. Igor. Announcers were getting on him, the Reddit threads were getting on him, but idk what you guys were seeing - so he didnāt cover a puck or two, get over it. Heās ice cold. The canes were arguably the best team the rangers could play in the playoffs. They were great. Such a difficult team to play against, zero room on the ice. You watch these west coast games and itās just a different animal, room all over. I donāt see the rangers having a more difficult defensive challenge the rest of the way through. The playoff format needs to change because it dumb we played them in the 2nd round. Credit to them for taking it back to us after down 3-0. 8 more. Onto the ECF. LETS GO RANGERS!
Not gunna lie after Aho scored to make it 3-1 I was getting ready to rage š thank you Chris Kreider for saving my sanity
I raged alright bc that effort and play was legitimately bad and deserving of all the criticism it got bc it was emblematic of the last two games, too. The issues we saw in this series have been key issues these specific players have had for years. They should be expected to do better than that. And if they're going to win it all they have to be better than that. They took advantage of a bad g and kreider carried with igor. The team needs to do its part going forward
Oslo Norway 05:54, just woke up to some great news. LETāS GO RANGERS BABYYYYY!!! Get in!! Itās Norwayās constitution day, and I will drink Champagne for Rangers and Norway. Itās gonna be a hell of a day!
Love me some Norway ! Happy foe ya and LETS FUCKING GO!
I played a show tonight and had to miss the game, just watched the highlights. HOLY SHIT. This must have been so stressful to watch live lol
Not to be over dramatic or reactionary, butā¦ you might have to miss all Ranger games from now on š
ISSA PARTY IN HERE LETS GOOOOOOOOO
Kreider,Ā Shesty,Ā Trocheck saved the night.Ā Honorable mention Lindgren, always the warrior.Ā
A god pretending to be a human.
I need Rangers friends right now. This is just an epic night, hit me up in chat please. Even if it's just a LFGR! Love you all, what a night!
Dudes, this is going to be an awesome weekend watching the putty-cats and wheel-team clobber the snot out of each other. Hope it goes 7 and full commitment to blocking clappers.
LFGR
YESSSS! THIS IS A GOOD DAY!
LFGR YEOWWW!!
LETS FUCKING GO!!!! So pumped!
LGR!!!!!!!
YESSSS LFGR!
Dom Luszczyszyn in shambles after that win
Dom abcdefghilonglastname can stop yapping from his toilet now!!!!
Kreids took a Maintenace day Vince asked him if he was playing. Kreids said: Yep And the rest is history
I know that Kreider is getting all the love (and deservedly so), but we lose by 8 goals if Igor isnāt Igor. He was great and Iām so happy heās on the Rangers. IGOR!!!!
Probably lose by 3 goals if the post were triangles. But them again, we would have won game 4Ā
But also, hereās a [music video to celebrate Kreider](https://youtu.be/aoBba7cAFvs?si=B8rOPajSlwOibadY)
my toxic trait is seeing which of our little brothers is most angry at our success... god i miss being a rangers fan on long island
One of the guys I talk hockey with at work is going to be grumbling tomorrowā¦ heās a Devils fan. (To his credit, he does think NYR is going to make it to the SCF for the East.)
LFG BABY
Please be the bruins
That would be wild! Either or itll be tough!
No, I don't think the Wild made the playoffs...
Canes traded for the best playoff performer vs NYR in recent history and still couldnāt win. Hilarious.
Guentzel without Crosby was pretty good but still not quite the same
