Columbus is terrible, I can't believe that series is 2-2

Pittsburgh isn't very good either.

Bruins have looked pretty over-powering the last few games...

If we were playing NHL '99 they would be awesome. In real hockey, agreed

A Bruins/Rangers ECF would be just what this board needs until 10-2 season.

I can't say I saw that one coming. Amazing effort. Boyle was a stud the last three games and it was nice to see him get rewarded. Elvii can hate all he wants but Boyle does every awful job on the ice and does it smartly and with passion. The Boyle blocked shot clip they played on NHL Network will make you cover your nuts and shake your various limbs in pain. Also…Kreider. Even when he doesn't score he makes it easier for everyone else. On the Richards goal he had the Pens turning in circles in the crease trying to keep on him while Richards walked wide open into the slot. Vigneault singled out his return in the press conference as being one of the keys for the turn around.

Very enthused about watching the Bs and Habs play tomorrow night. Am hoping for some big injuries on both sides and am pretty sure I won't be disappointed.

Agreed never understood the crap Boyle got from Rangers fans. Maybe it's his size and the fact that he was a first rounder so they want him to be more but he's damn good at what he does. Not to go all 74 and incorporate zone starts but every time there's a faceoff deep in Rangers territory, he's on the ice for it.

Kreider's fresh legs changed the series, now they have a legit top 9 (one quibble w Vingeualt is maybe Carcillo in for Dorsett) and his size/speed caused all types of problems for the Pens D. As I said earlier, if the Rangers didn't have to deal with the 5 games in 7 days crap this series would've been over earlier.

Also whatever the Rangers shot McDonagh up with for game 5 worked, getting back to his normal self.

Edit: Wait, flying elvis faxxot as 1 word turns to 74? Thats awesome

I'm honored.

Thank you Rangers. Now under no circumstances do I have to watch that team from Pittsburgh.

Lundquist has been amazing. Go Rangers!

So who are the Rangers gonna dress as their sixth defenseman for the next couple of games?

diaz. may even get time on 2nd pp unit

watching that happen makes it all the more unbelievable that nobody saw the prust hit.

oh, and prust was going to get one game until the jaw injury.

im glad the canadians aren't one of our main rivals. they are awful to watch.

I think Moore will get 1 game, no history, and as dumb as it is they suspend to injury. Weise came right back (probably there were no brain cells left for him to destroy). Moore was the one who destroyed Weise earlier along the boards by the Rangers bench.

Diaz will play, throws off the lefty/righty balance which sucks.

Agreed I always thought it was just the Boston fans bitching, but the theatrics by the Canadiens are ridiculous.

At this point, I want them all dead--including Gionta. That team is despicable and he is the captain of it and thus responsible on some level.

subban's was worse

Lesson, as always, never trust anybody that wears a turtleneck on the ice. Or off the ice, for that matter.

Boyle with a sweet pass on the goal. He and Kreider have basically carried the Rangers to the final.

Hank remembering to be Hank again tonight helped

One of the best games they've played in a while, especially at home.

Having speed on all 4 lines is such a difference. Also kudos to Slats for grabbing Klein. He was awesome this series.

They played magnificently last night. If they play that way in the Cup finals they can beat LA or Chicago. I have to give major kudos to Vigneault. I was not enthused with the hire, but he had a plan to build something similar to what defeated him in the Cup a few years ago--a true team, where none of the four lines or three defensive pairings are throwaways, where everyone understands his role and plays it with passion and discipline--and he has built it. Hell, they are so deep that when Moore gets suspended Diaz comes in and plays an excellent game. I also enjoyed the praise lavished upon Kreider on both the CBC and by Millbury on NBCSN last night. It isn't an exaggeration to say that his return from injury changed the entire dynamic of this team and is the single biggest factor in making this cup run possible. Also, Brian Boyle is going to get paid this summer and hopefully by the Rangers. Elvii's jealous rage aside, he is going to put himself in the Selke Trophy discussion on a going forward basis as he now has the requesite reputation.

On the negative side, I still think it is going to take a Herculean effort by Lundqvist to beat LA and if Quick gets hot it may not even matter. Chicago is a less scary team largely because Crawford is at best pedestrian and their defense relies on Michael Rozival for big minutes which is symptomatic of a team that can be worn down and had defensively. Even still, I think Chicago if they can come back is a significant favorite as well. Also, Brian Gionta. His pathetic attempt to draw a high stick call that actually got him nailed for goaltender interference was pathetic. He earned the Little Louganis moniker jealous UNH and Maine fans put on him back in the day. Les Habs are a disgusting team.

Great win for the Rangers. This is a very likable team. I don't think I have ever rooted this much for a non-Boston team. Also, was this Canadians team and their fans more loathsome than the 2011 Vancouver team?

montreal is intolerable.

next year the first game between the two teams will be a bloodbath.

I think this Habs team was more unlikeable but you'd probably get a different answer from the Bs fans.

10 years ago there was no possible way any of us were ever thinking of saying "kudos to Slats." Does this prove if anyone is given enough time eventually things work out? Pretty much every button he has pushed since January/February has worked out.

Trade wise he's been very good of late

Tedwardo is still not impressed w Kane

Kane skates awesome, like hockey's Johnny Weir.

Go Rangers. Habs this year were a billion times worse than the Vancouver d-bags. So Rangers have my full support.

He somehow got value out of Scott Gomez. Though that might also have been more of a Montreal issue.

Kane being Teddy's Lebron bodes well for his career.

LA in 6.

Yeah, Kane will probably win 5, 6 or maybe 7 championships.

Hockey isn't rigged like the NBA.

Two evenly matched teams but I think a 7 game series favors the Kings. Getting the two suspended guys back will help the Rangers.
