-Pregame show is on, only 22 minutes till game time, are you pumped? A win for the Rangers here, and this series is all but over, if the Devils come back, we may be in for a long series.
-All these Bacardi commercials are starting to piss me off. Why? Because.
-And it begins.
-Ugh, penalty early, not a good way to start the game.
-Good kill, Devils are still easily gaining the zone with the dump and chase game.
-Looks like a carbon copy of the first game so far. And thats not a good thing. Rangers need to be crisper with their breakout of the zone, and better about getting to the pucks on the boards. Devils are getting to those pucks before us keeping plays alive 10, 20, 30 seconds longer than they should.
-This is a new stadium right? How freaking long does it take to fix a pane of glass?!
-Wow…how did Henrik stop that?!
-Apparently its ok for the Devils to have 16 men on the ice at a time.
-Beautiful rotational defense there by the Rangers. Defenseman pinches, center rotates to cover for him, and lo and behold if he didnt there would have been a break going the other way.
-Terrible play by Gomez which leads to Staal taking a penalty.
-Henrik Lundqvist…best player in this game…by a LOT.
-Not much to say about the first. Devils played about the same as they did in Game 1. So did we. That does not make me happy. We need to elevate the hell out of our game. This may be good enough to beat the Devils, but not many other teams. The goal should be to win the cup, not just get out of the first round.
-Sheesh, at this point you have to wonder what its going to take to score a goal on Henrik.
-3 on 1 chances have to be buried. You can’t miss the net/get your shot blocked. Thats twice now the Rangers have had an oddman rush only to have the pass or shot blocked. GET IT ON NET!!!!!!
-Ugh, double minor. 10 bucks says the Devils score here.
- Shanny kills 30 seconds on the PP with a brilliant play.
-Hah, Gionta screams the F word at the top of his lungs…so loud you could hear it from the ice level on TV. hahaha!
-No shots on goal on a double minor. That is friggin impressive. Guess I owe someone 10 bucks…oh wait, nobody took my bet.
-Zubrus should just stay in the box, hes always doing illegal crap.
-Wow, Jagr gets away with one big time. Avery got away with a hook a few minutes ago as well.
-Stupid play by Avery Playing with fire with all these friggin penalties.
-Worrisome period for us. Nonexistent power play, nonexistent offense, and only our goalie is keeping us in it. The 3rd needs to be better, a lot better. Yes, I am officially worried.
-Nice save by Uncle Daddy there. Rangers showing signs of life.
-Uncle Daddy! I LOVE YOU!!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
-AVERY!!!! UNCLE DADDY FALLING APART!!!!!!
-AHHHHHH Satellite signal lost, DAMN RAIN!!!
-Well, I have the non-HD signal working, but even that is choppy. The HD signal is just lost.
-Henrik….Can’t…..Be….Beaten.
-Ugh, Devils score, minute and a half to go. Impossible to stop that one.
-Ugh, icing…and we cant seem to win a draw to save our lives.
-OH WHAT A SAVE@!!!!
-Devils just pouring it on 6 on 5.
-tee hee, penalty on the Devils. They get away with that pick/hook play twenty times a game.
-Sutter should get a penalty, he just threw a stick onto the ice.
-RANGERS WIN!!!!! 2-0 heading back to the Garden. Rangers get away with a penalty in the end, but you know what? F*** EM!
-That’s it for the live blog. I will be back later tonight with post game thoughts.
