That game was crazy. Watching it with my brother. I watch 0 hockey, but that chit was pretty fun to watch.

I know nothing about hockey, but it is pretty oblivious the Rangers have crappy goal scoring skills. Surprised a team who cannot score, won a playoff series.

Had to go to my hateful job right as the second OT started. I'm glad we pulled it out though and really happy for Gabby. Hopefully that goal gets him going.

Here's a quick hockey lesson. In the playoffs, more often than not the team that wins either has the best goaltender or the goaltender that plays the best. That's how the Rangers are winning.

I understand that you don't follow or even watch hockey, but an NBA fan saying that the Rangers obviously can't score, is like an NHL fan stating that the Knicks "can't score ourselves" etc, etc. Which is far from the truth.

No, the Rangers aren't the Nuggets, Spurs and/or Thunder of the NHL in regards to putting up points (goals), but they are the Knicks of the NHL in regards to putting up points. Both the Knicks and the Rangers ranked 11th amongst their respected league(s) in regards to points scored during the regular season. So, saying that the Rangers "obviously can't score", all because of one of two games you've seen, when they've averaged 2.71 goals per game (ranking 11th amongst 30 NHL teams) would be like stating that the Knicks "obviously can't score", despite the fact that we've averaged 97.8 points per game during the regular season.

Just my thoughts.

More often than not, the key to winning the Stanley Cup is all about having a hot goaltender. That's why in the NHL playoffs you'll regularly see lower underdog seeds upset the higher seeds. And Lundqvsist has pretty much been hot the whole season. And the Rangers happen to be an excellent defensive team with great defensemen also. These are the type of games they are built to win.

after the 1st round i dont think the nhl does local broadcasts. msg replays the ranger post game show, but not the actual game cause nbc has the rights.
