BLUES!!!

That was vomit inducing.

Major eye roll to the Rangers fans chanting USA USA. Only 10/32 players are American.

Oh come on. It isn't that big of a deal.

No, but it's not really a 'thing' in NHL hockey. There's 10 Canadians too, why not chant CANADA CANADA CANADA

 

[Adelle Dazeem]

I thought that chant was so stupid considering the majority of the team is not American. I hate the Rangers. I think Lundquist is ridiculously overrated.

Why would they? The Rangers are a US team.


Congrats to the Rangers, that was a fun series to watch.

I guess it just isn't the first time I've heard it at a Rangers game and I know it won't be the last. It isn't about the players but the team as a whole.

Lundquist had an off year but he is far from overrated.

It sure was. I'm kicking myself for not going. Of course had I been there they probably would have lost haha.

It's not a nation vs nation competition though. I said what I said, its very eye roll worthy.

 

[wilkeliza]

Next time go.

Last season I was strongly suggested not to go after all 5 games I went to were slaughters of the Rangers haha. Finally we won while I was there and hasn't been an issue since.

Yeah, Lundquist may be overrated but Lundqvist-uhhh no-funniest thing I've read all year.

He's "only" number 8 on the list of all time for SV%

17th out of 176 GAA

10th for Wins (and 8 of the goalies ahead of him are retired)

is the only goaltender in NHL history to get 30 wins in each of his first 7 seasons

is the goalie to reach 400 wins the fastest in NHL history...

among a dozen other records

LGR!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh dear...I misspelled "what's his names" name. Darn. Enjoy your stats.

 

[eastendlights]

Actually, I am enjoying the series win, but thanks.

Was at the Rangers game tonight. Boy was that one of the best nights of hockey I've ever been to. Now to game 5.

It must have been awesome! You will remember that forever.

I haven't been to a playoff game since 1994, yes, the last time they won! I was lucky enough to go to a game against the Islanders, the first one vs. the Caps and the first against the Devils. I can still remember how the building shook. I lost my voice for a month!

Then, for the parade, my brother was a NYC police officer so we were able to get right up close. That was a time I will never forget-my father was a huge fan-watching the Rangers and going to games was our thing (along with the Yankees) and he became ill later that year. I always remember the now famous sign someone held up after they won that said "Now I can die in peace." My father really did die, almost exactly a year later. I was so glad he got to see them win, as silly as it sounds to people that don't get sports, it was a really big part of his life and it still is for me, thanks to him.

 

[Brazen Wench]

Man I hope the Capitals can win tonight's game so I can see another series against the Penguins.

 

[kimblebee]

Hopefully Ottawa can seal the deal today. Should be a heck of a game.

GO SENS GO!!

That was the ONLY series that went the way I wanted. Yeah, I went 1-7 with who I wanted to win.

In the second round, I gotta go for Nashville (barf, but I think can stomach them more than the Blues) and Edmonton because I absolutely detest the Ducks.
