But like everyone says, you have to win 4 games, not 3. Weren't the Rangers down 3-1 last year at some point? Ya never know. It's not like they are getting blown out. The 1-0 loss was on a fluke goal Lundqvist wishes he could have back. Series could still go the distance

That is what is bothering me, they haven't been blown out and you would think that a team that went to the finals last year would find a way to win these tight games. I would love to see them come back but nothing that has happened in this series leads me to believe they can, from the last second goal in game 1 to the goal off of the skate in the 1-0 loss the bounces just aren't going their way.

You are definitely correct, the bounces are certainly not going their way. I personally don't see them coming back either, but it ain't over til it's over. Gonna hold onto hope, especially because I have 5 Rangers players in my playoff pool lol

For your sake I hope they make the next round it will be tough to win the pool losing 5 players.

Ovi's been playing well but hasn't scored since the early games. Let's see if he breaks out tonight...

Here we go again, plenty of pressure but they can't put the puck in the net.

**spuds1961** · 05-08-2015, 07:32 PM

contest, on which shot will the Rangers get a goal, you can answer none, winner will get something hockey related.

What else is new another period without a goal, Lundqvist had to make a few great saves to keep it scoreless but he looks nowhere as sharp as Holtby.

**spuds1961** · 05-08-2015, 08:54 PM

Well another scoreless period, Washington got one in the net but it was disallowed as Ward was checked into Lundqvist. I think it should've counted but I am no referee, either they find a way to solve Holtby or they go home.
