That's two stinkers in a row. It's like the Habs are just emotionally and physically done. How many times did a player pass instead of shoot?
Gotta say, aside from 1 weak goal, Tokarski played a great game (especially considering his last played game was 1 month ago!).

At least we prevented rat face and the neanderthal from sniffing the cup. Minor victories.

When they played their best in game 1 and 2 the Rangers scored twice and quickly. They can't win it, period, even when they are doing good it doesn't work.

This is the Rangers' first 5-game winning streak in the playoffs since...1994.

We've also now matched our best postseason finish since winning in '94 (10 playoff wins in 2012).

Well let's be quite honest, they had moments where they played well, but they haven't even pieced together ONE good period. Hell, they had quite a few defensive lapses in the first period that ended up costing them (which was their best tonight).

Habs would have lost this game with Price in too. Keep Tokarski in, we're not going anywhere with Budaj.

2nd period in game 1 and 1st period in this game were great, except in both cases they end up being scored two quick goals. It would have been a different story without Lundqvist, it would be at least 1-1. But when you try everything right and it doesn't produce, what can you do but start playing worst?

See my argument was that as much good play as they had in those periods, they made TERRIBLE defensive lapses that cost them. So they haven't done everything right. In fact, they have yet to play an error-free period, which is unlike the series against the Bruins where they had so many error-free periods. The Rangers just look hungrier.

Well that's what I meant, they did everything until those two two quick goals. Then it goes downhill.

edit: Ok it wasn't super quick in this game, but an end-period goal. And on a terrible call.
