Come back win! Carolina is stunned. Hats off to Kreider and the team for never giving up. Great win!! I live in the Raleigh area so I'm sure tomorrow I will here the complaints.

My honest opinion is we lost it when we tried to make a lead stand up. We gave all the momentum away. Carolina did the same thing tonight. They sat back at about the 15 minute mark. And once they lost it they couldn’t get it back. For about 10 minutes the Rangers were a runaway train. And when we needed Igor to save us, he did. And when we needed CK20 to save the season he did. Unbelievable win. And honestly this experience was good for us. You have to face some adversity. Florida is good, but my honest opinion is we just beat the best team we will face.

Amazing... Wow... I'm still kind of stunned.
You know, I don't think we played that bad the first two periods. Their goals were all scored on defensive blunders on our part, and they blocked a ton of shots. I also think we got stronger as the game wore on while in the third, they seemed to be out of gas some.
It was a nice reversal of last game. Igor saved the game for us a few times in the 3rd and Chris Kreider... Star player shining in a big moment. It's so nice to see that happen for us and not against us.
We were the best comeback team during the regular season, and it has played out in the postseason as well.
I was pretty frustrated after that save on the line by Martinook... It just felt like it was destiny against us and was ready to see this series go to a game 7.
Loved seein the never say die fight in us. The intensity, the desperation of that 3rd period. And I'm happy to say officially:
HURRICANE SEASON IS OVER!!
On to the Easter Conference Final. Let's Go Rangers!! 8 down, 8 to go.
I'd like to see an Original 6 ECF but don't care who we play. We beat this team. We can beat any team.

Cool. Isles fan pulling for the Rangers to win it all.
Now the Knicks need to follow the Rangers and lock it up tonight.
NY needs a championship again. Last one was the Giants in 2011/12!

I think they are the toughest opponent out there I don't disagree, and going against another original 6 is always exciting. I think whoever wins the east will take the cup as well. I don't think the west stands up, personally...

The goaltending in that Oilers series doesn’t look too good. The Avs losing another star hurts them. Anticipating a really tough upcoming series though. Fla is battle tested. One may have nothing to do with the other yet it is interesting imo, when the Rangers finally won the Cup in 94 the surprising opponent was Vancouver and they’re still out there.

The Rangers were 3-0 vs Boston this year. They lost twice to Florida and won once. But the Rangers might’ve played Florida during that patch where the team really struggled and Shesterkin was lost. Playoffs are a different deal altogether.

Cant tell you how close I was to doing the same. lol It wasn’t looking very good after Martinook made that crazy save. Hockey is such an unpredictable game. But I am surprised they would’ve turned it off in the middle of the second period. They missed a great comeback.

Thoughts about Florida?
They have so many Centers who are playmakers. Still smh Bennett was out there and only Fla made a move for him a few years ago. What a ballsy move huberdeau for tkachu who wanted out Calgary too. Meanwhile, Reinart was stolen from another desperate team in Buffalo.
Tough series. Thoughts on Fla?

They like to target players.

I wanted Boston because I would've liked an original 6 matchup in the ECF.
Florida is a good team. As always, we play our game we win. Simple as that. We get into trouble when we make poor and soft choices. When we don't take the body, when we let opposing players skate into high scoring areas in our zone uncontested. When we get too cute with the puck, with our passing instead of throwing pucks at the net and crashing there. When we don't challenge every inch of the ice. When we give teams too much time and space.
Basic stuff really. Do the basic stuff better than them and our talent will win this series. A big part of that talent is Igor. When he is playing like he has been we win more times than not.
Also, our best players need to play their best. Did all of you see the graphic from game 6 against Carolina? Out top two lines got 1 point each in games 4 & 5 while in game 6 they had a combined 8 or more points. We could've won game 4 despite that but still not a mystery why we lost those two.
The frustrating part is our team has a tendency to get too comfortable and not play with intensity and desperation. Whether we're clinging to a one goal lead or we're up in the series by a game or two. You can't do that against other top teams. Hopefully we don't in this series.
Honestly, maybe I'm a little too optimistic but I feel pretty good about this coming series after winning the last one. Carolina was a tough team. They were picked to win it all by the odds makers and we took them out in 6.
Is Carolina this season a tougher match up than Florida? I don't know. Shouldn't matter though, we play our game, we play smart, we play tough, we win.
Let's Go Rangers!!
