Last night's score totally flattered them but at this rate it's hard to imagine Lundqvist maintaining this level of play with the Rangers playing so many games over the past few weeks.

I know you said one of but I don't think we can take the Championship Title away from Mr. Alexei Yashin. Milbury is still the proud holder of that negotiation.

Agreed. The Rangers arent very good, but Lundqvist is. If he falters at all under the workload the Rags are gonna be in big trouble quickly.

What is so great about Amber that Duthie says "he does good work night after night after night"?

Something went flying there from that guy's face when he got sticked by Malkin. Was that a tooth?

Watching the Rangers powerplay is like a War Crime.

First goal in 13 playoff games for Crosby.

Sometimes I'm fine with him but when I'm not in the right mood he sounds like a total wannabe.

Anyone else watching this series? Easily the most boring of the playoffs so far. No hits, no intensity.

You are right but try to be patient. The La Ana game will more than make up for this one.

Still having a hard time believing any eastern team will win the Cup.

I can be patient. The only time I lose my patience is when TSN preempts playoff hockey for basketball or Junior A hockey.

It's a snoozefest, even at the end of the game with a 6 on 4.

Hopefully only two more games of this Rangers trash hockey. Sather keeps adding those post apex stars like St.Louis, Nash, Richards that are all on the downswings of their careers and to make things worse it seems all these guys play even worse with the Rangers. Boy did Nash's career ever nosedive. Heck with buying out Richards as they should look at buying out Nash as he looks pretty washed up and has a lot of money owed to him still. Two straight coaches haven't been able to get anything out of the guy in a Rangers jersey.

Glad it's not just me, I can't stand watching the Rangers. They are Phoenix/Minnesotaesque in their lameness.

How about Fleury getting 2 straight SHUTOUTS! He's been great these past 2 games stopping all 57 shots. I know Fleury was the goat in game 4 against the BJs and deserved the criticism through out that series but he is playing well.
