America wins when Boston loses. Every time Boston loses in the playoffs an Angel gets its wings. 🤣

There are upsets and there are chokes.
Having the best regular season in NHL history and being up 3 games to 1, then losing 2 to force a game 7 at home and then giving up the tying goal with less than a minute left and then losing in OT is about as big a choke as a team can manage.
Hats off to the Panthers who never quit. Hankies to the Bruins for completely imploding.
Unbelievable turn of events.

Was fun to watch that game. Won't shed any tears watching Boston's season end that's for sure.
We need to take care of business tomorrow. Away teams both won in game 7 today... Let's make it 3 for 3 to wrap up the 1st round.
Panthers are a good team. They're one season removed from being the President Trophy winners. Not sure how they'll do going forward but they were a tough match up for Boston during the regular season and it showed in the playoffs.
Let's Go Rangers!!!

So…which Rangers team shows up tonight?
I’m expecting the games 1,2 and 6 team.

Igor has to stand on his head again. Both this series and the Carolina series from last year would be Rangers losses if not for his play. He's awesome keeping the puck out of the net despite a swiss cheese defense

Tragic that our defensive game plan leaves him exposed so much so that he has to stand on his head for us to win.

I have seen 11 game 7 predictions today. All say Rangers win. Surely that means we will lose.

In fairness the same odds makers had Bruins, Avalanche and Lightning favored in their final loss of the season.

He's awesome keeping the puck out of the net despite a swiss cheese defense Hate to be pessimistic and honestly I wasn’t this way last year but I think they lose tonight for this reason. They simply rely too much on Igor just like they did with Hank. It’s not a winning formula. I’m thinking a 3-1 type loss tonight. Hope I’m wrong.

I think the team believes they will win and most fans believe they will lose. 🤣 As we saw last night it’s basically a coin flip although the teams that played better in game 7 deserved to win last night. If the Rangers come out flat and lose then so be it. Time to make changes in the off-season. I haven’t seen enough games this season where they took charge early vs good teams. Or they rely on the PP too much. The late game last night had a total of one penalty called all game. Something like that tonight could be bad news for the Rangers.

Honestly I don’t know what team is showing up tonight and having the man advantage certainly helps but Rangers scored 5 goals last game and only one was a power play goal. I feel pretty good about tonight. Honestly didn’t think we’d get to a game 7 after game 5. But here we are.

Mika shooting is a good sign. No clue what Panarin will do besides cross ice passes

They finished ahead of the Rangers this year and won the season series. I never bought into the idea that the Rangers were favored in this series.

Ugly first period for us but we got out of it without giving up a goal.
Need to come out strong in the 2nd.
Igor doing what he does... Thankfully.

Well it's do or die now. Sad to see how so many of our players can't do basic fundamental hockey actions in this game... Like connecting on a pass or stopping either the puck or man from getting past you.
Unless we show something I haven't seen this series, we really don't deserve to move on.

Well at least Trouba got a big hit in before it's over.
Glad it was on Meier as well.

Like was said, no idea what Rangers team is playing from night to night And the shit one showed up tonight. Only players that appeared ready for this game were Igor and Trouba.
The rest...
No idea what this team does in the offseason. We lack grit and our players seem to go full moron with the puck more times than not.
Defense is pathetic. Anyone else see that inner slot shots for the game? Rangers had 1 while, Jersey had 11. Odd man rushes last I knew was 10-1 against us as well.
I feel bad for Shesterkin because, much like Henrik before him, deserves better. But he plays for our poverty franchise so, like all of us, he should be ready for disappointment regularly this time of year.

Maybe I’m petty but even though we will lose, I’m happy Trouba killed Meijer. That last hit on Shesterkin was the last straw. Meijer particularly was a deserving recipient. Hockey justice.

Team just isn’t built right. And our best line is the kids. Time to offload some top heaviness. I’d try to find a taker for Panarin. That’s a ton of salary. And he has proven that he’s just not reliable in the playoffs. They will most likely fire Gallant.

Well, about what I expected....if not a bit worse. That first period told the story of how the game would play out. No one shoots. No one crashes the net. Soft. Time to make some major changes.

No grit and can’t win on the boards For the Rangers to beat the faster, younger Devils they needed to be hitting the way Trouba hit in the third period Devils PP last night. And they needed to play that way consistently from minute 1 of game 1. They didn’t play that way at all and thus had virtually no hope of slowing the Devils down.
