Andrew Gross @AGrossRecord Rangers optional morning skate at MSG: Lundqvist not on ice. I guess Biron will start today...
It's ok, Hank needs a day off after all these games. Biron's going to be just fine. Maybe Richards needs rest too. Coach should take them all to see the statue of liberty and take group pics with those alternate jerseys from a couple years back. Make it a bonding experience
Under 8 hours now. We are all making predictions, but the truth is both teams will bring their A game, MSG gives the Rangers a slight edge, but anything can happen. I would say Lundqvist vs. Holtby is an edge too, but both have been great. Honestly, nothing would surprise me tonight.
i smell fear, cut it out god damnit!! the rangers are going to win tonight. it's going to be a total abandonment of how the series has been played. 5-4 Rangers in a real slug in the gut of a game.
Katie Carrera @kcarrera Jay Beagle (right leg) and Alexander Semin are absent from the #Caps morning skate at MSG.
Matty, I'm calling a high scoring 5-4 rangers win. the dam is going to open up tonight, it's so overdue.
Holtby's wife just gave birth to a son on thursday, i wonder if this fires him up even more, how could it not? Rangers need to score early, first preferably, and if they score first, get a two goal lead after that. With the hopeful 2 goal lead, i hope they don't go into the NHL's version of the prevent defense that i see the Rangers rely heavily on too much alot of the time. Keep attacking until the games done.
Call me a darksider but this team hasn't shown the ability to score consistently in this series. 3-1 win Washington. Torts loses to the Caps a 3rd time in 4 years.
