Up 3-1 in Hockey 7 game series is never a done deal as teams move on momentum. Rangers up after back to back OT games!!!!

These guys play hurt. After a few games they start to despise each other and its flat out nasty on the ice.

Canadians P.K. Subban plays an insane amount of time and is a beast on the ice!

This is the dude that caught the ire of Bruins fans and inspired the cowardly few to write some ignorant posts. As irony would have it, his younger brother plays on the Bruin minor league team!

The Rangers are lead by Newcomer Martin St. Louis who after being dissed by his GM not picked to be on the Canadian Olympic team wanted to be traded as he could not even look at the guy afterwards! He only wanted to be traded to the Rangers!!! The Tampa GM, the Great former player Steve Yzerman got put in a bad situation and the rangers Traded Ryan Calahan who was to be a free agent and wanted more money than reasonable for his declining talent and a 2015 no. 1 pick. Might be a bit much for a 37 year old player but St. Louis is just one year from being the leagues top scorers and might be one of those freaky guys who plays into his 40's. In any event here they are just one game from the Stanley Cup round! His mother died just days before Mothers day when the Rangers had to play on that Sunday! Rangers turned around after being down 3-1 to the Penquins to win the series in 7!

Similarly NBA and NHL playoff games take on a new level of intensity the further the post season extends. Hockey being a more physical game takes on a whole new level of play. Brutality is kept in check because the penalty for deliberate action is not tolerated but as fatigue sets in and the intensity rises with whats at stake its a thin line and very exciting. These guys are at war!

For those not into the sport your NY team is one game away from the Stanley Cup finals and the Canadians will do everything they can to move the momentum into their favor! A good time to check this sport out! This is one of the great runs for any NY team!

I'm in same boat

When the Nassau Coliseaum was built and the Isles built their Dynasty from the draft it was a special team with many players staying their whole careers, or most of it with the team. They 4 straight cups in 5 trips to the finals was amazing. You had the Canadians, then Isle, then Oilers and that was about a 15 year run with those three! Amazing how bad and for how long the Isles have been!

when game, i watch

1 goal save, is star of the game..

At least the Good MSG Tenant (not knicks) has prevailed.

Great for NY city

This Ranger team is just ok theyre gritty and have some diversity of speed skill and size. But this is a team based on it's goaltender's ability to shut down teams. The Rangers are good enough to score 2-3 pts a night and Henry usually only gives up 1-2. The final round you are looking at more explosive offensive clubs--I hope its not a Denver Seattle match up. I always want to get game 1--that is key but in hockey you never know. I think the Rnagers team 2 years ago was better than this one but the bottom line--just like the NCAA's survive advance win.

Yup and I responded with although Cam Talbot was playing well at the time he is still young and you don't know how he would handle the pressure in the playoffs. Henrik has been sensational. This is a special run
