Rangers will win game 7. Steve Mason is a fluke, only the Rangers offense can make him look good.

 

However I wouldnt mind the Ducks facing Philly in the Cup Finals, the Ducks remember Steve Mason very well during his days as a empty net for Columbus.

I would love a Flyers Ducks cup, what a fun series that would be!  Can't wait for the 3 game 7's tonight.  I'm hoping 3 sets of home fans get disappointed tonight.

Dear Hockey Gods,

Hey guys. Brett here. I know I'm an Oilers fan and thus you long ago decided to forsake me. But could you find it in your hearts to see to it that the Flyers and Wild are eliminated tonight? The Wild wish is just because I hate the Hockey Wilderness blog but the Flyers wish.... I mean.... come on. You. Hockey Gods ever looked in on Philadelphia? Do you want those people to celebrate? Bunch of subhumans that haven't shaved or showered in years. And let's not even get started on their husbands.

So please, Hockey Gods give this beaten down fan something to cheer about for once. Go Rangers. Go Avalanche.

Rangers up 1-0...might they break the Brett curse?

[tennischmp]

The Rangers were the beneficiaries of the new playoff system. Had the 5th best record in the conference yet get to play the 6th best team on home ice. Oh well, they are not getting past Pittsburgh and Boston

Hockey God is great. Praise be to Hockey God. Congrats NJ Halo.

Let's Go Rangers.....

Nerve racking finish.

[bucbrett]

Oh my goodness Bryz in for Kuemper with 8 minutes left, now news that the Canucks are in such disarray they're firing Torts. You've outdone yourselves tonight, Hockey Gods.

been rumors that the canucks are willing to trade the sedin twins as well as kessler. 

 

wondering what the sharks are going to do. such a good team in the regular season, and such a disappointment in the playoffs. rumors are going to start early and often.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them beat Pitt next round.  I'm now rootin for Rangers in the East!

[halobob]

How about Dem Sharks??

Pretty much exactly what you'd expect come April.

Sharks need to shake up their roster, keep their coach.

Joe Thornton & his lack of leadership in the playoffs has to go if they ever want a chance at a cup.

 

Thornton will be 35 at the start of the next season. Getting a young top6 + picks would be good for them.

They also need to plan ahead for when their defense no longer has Boyle.

Read the comments from the Philly fans.

 

Classic example of why they are the white trash of the league
 

[halobob]

Yeah, if I ever go to Philly as an away fan no way am I wearing anything supporting the away team.

[NJHalo]

Best chant at MSG last night directed at the Flyers and their fans: "Home Depot Sucks, Home Depot Sucks"

The first OT of the Bruins/Habs game was loaded with chances and SICK goaltending saves.  The Habs stole it with a Subban screened, point-shot on the power play in double OT..

[halobob]

Subban had one helluva game.  Great opening game to the 2nd round!

[NJHalo]

Hoping the Habs pull off the upset and take out the Bruins.

 

Let them do the dirty work for the Rangers (hopefully)

 

NYR do not match up well with Boston.

Come on, wouldn't it be so much more fun for the Rangers to knock out the Bruins?

[NJHalo]

Yes, if they can do it, but I do not like the matchup.

[Gavin]

Philly fans keeping it classy.

[LBHalos17]

Apparently, a "classy" intoxicated Rangers fan instigated this, then ran away to let his friends take the beating...

Every team has their lowlife fans. Philadelphia just seems to have nothing but.

 

I was not there (nor would I ever be stupid enough to go there with my Rangers jersey on), but I doubt the accuracy of a Philadelphia fan's version stating that the Rangers fan was doing the taunting. The Flyers were winning 4-0 at the time.
