That's better!

I'm real glad yesterday's game wasn't a 8pm start! What a way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Bad calls and stolen goals aside, it was great to see the Rangers come through the way they did. Honestly I was worried early on, they weren't winning the battles along the boards, they weren't winning faceoffs, they were getting manhandled at the blue line. But damn did they look fantastic in overtime or what?!

I'll post some pictures later tonight.

Oh, by the way, i did a little stat checking. Malik is a +6 so far in the playoffs. Rozsival is the only other Ranger defenseman with a similar rating. give the guy a break!

Hollweg Dance

Straight outta the comments. Maybe this will get the ready for tonight.

Buffalo

Only 3 of the last 10 President's Trophy winners have gone on to win the Cup. They looked very beatable last round against the Islanders. If the Rangers can continue to play the way they did last round, keep that intensity up, they can totally walk away with this round. It won't be another sweep that's for sure.

I wouldn't want to make the Sabres feel at home, but is there any chance we could get some of those wings shipped down? I'm getting really tired of the "food" at the Garden.

Eastern Conference Quarterfinals Home Game 2

NEXT

A sweep, who'd have thought!? Is anyone else a little bit concerned about the potentially long wait ahead for round 2? The Rangers have all the momentum right now, can they maintain it? Don't get me wrong I love that they have the opportunity to get some rest, heel some wounds, but it's going to be a long time before they get into a game again. What do you think?

I'll put up some pictures from last night's game later tonight.

SWEEP!

It was a great night at the Garden!
I look forward to the next round and lots of comments from section 404.

Playoffs!

and everyone's happy!

First one's in the bag

They looked good last night! I don't want to get too excited, but they did look good. With the exception by some mistakes by the kids but that's too be expected, first playoff game and all.

Has anyone found the Ryan Hollweg dance on the web yet? I searched YouTube but no luck.

A Cinderella Story?

Did you see EJ Hradek's column over on ESPN.com?

Dare to dream of warm summer nights in section 404?

It Begins

Did you all see the schedule? Home Game 1 is next Tuesday, April 17. Anyone planning on stopping in at Stout pre-game?

Playoffs?

A month ago it was a question, today it's a reality. Can Sean Avery carry this team through to the second round?

There is a battle of epic proportions brewing tonight north of the border. Last game of the season, do or die, Canadians v Leafs can you imagine what it's going to feel like in that building? I just hope it's on TV down here.
