why does no team ever touch a conference championship

[ZeroGravity]

GG Rangers-GAF. Best of luck going forward (hopefully without St. Louis).

 

[purg3]

Not a rangers fan at all, but I feel for Henrik. Poor dude.

 

[Grexeno]

Wait I'm pretty sure Ben Bishop is just Andrew Luck

 

[lamaroo]

It's a send-off for St. Louis.

:lol

 

[TheKaeptain]

New RangersFact:

"Over the last two years the Rangers have lost to two teams when it mattered."

 

[ZeroGravity]

All Bishop does is win big games. Two Game 7 shutouts. Doesn't matter how you get them.

 

[Foggy]

I'm not gonna join in with the poor Hank BS. I'm tired of the media and fans putting him above the team. He gave up a shit goal. He's as responsible for the rest of the team for losing. All around this was a pathetic TEAM LOSS.

Wait, what? Which goal was pathetic? First goal squeaked through while being screened and the other was just a flat-out great shot. Hank played great, who else played great tonight?

He is above the team. He made a ton of key saves that might have been a goal the other way. Rangers never delivered those quality chances. Almost every game from the Rangers is focused on sitting back and letting Henrik make big saves. He cant stop them all.

All Aboard the Anaheim Ducks Hype Train.

 

[Qwerty710710]

I hope fucking Tampa Bay gets their doors blown off by the west with their shit goalie.

All Aboard the Anaheim Ducks Hype Train.

Ducks/Tampa is the match up I wanted after the Habs shit the bed.

 

[jello44]

It's superstition.

The only trophy they want to touch is the Cup.

 

[RangersFan]

All Aboard the Anaheim Ducks Hype Train.

I'm hopping on. Don't want to see Cally, Boyle, or RIchards lift the cup. Stralman and Rozival I don't mind...

 

[Future Foundation]

Lol the Lord of the Rings music.

It's a send-off for St. Louis.

Worst fucking Hobbit since Lobelia Sackville-Baggins. Fuck him.

 

[zychi]

Bet Tampa to win tonight for $100, made $300. Thanks for sucking New York!

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Congrats Tampa fans, Zero I mean, you guys earned it.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Worst fucking Hobbit since Lobelia Sackville-Baggins. Fuck him.

He really shit up the place with bad turnovers and poor play. A real shame the guy always had a lot of heart.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

I hope fucking Tampa Bay gets their doors blown off by the west with their shit goalie.

 

[LJ11]

Knew TB would take the series, but shutting out the Rangers on home ice after giving up a ton of goals, that's harder to swallow. They bared the fuck down on D, kept us outside in both shutout games. Lots of shitty passing too, but credit TB, they cut it down and forced us to make quick decisions.

Henrik may have shit the bed on that one goal, but (always a but I guess) TB had much better scoring opportunities. If he doesn't give up the softy that had a seeing eye, but gives up the one to Johnson does it matter? Think he was on point tonight, he looked locked in.

Feel sorry for the young die hards. Hopefully we haven't damaged are long term future too much chasing this cup, tons of resources given up the last couple of years to try and bring it home.

Why do you hate Cally and Boyle?

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Why do you hate Cally and Boyle?

Salty over Stevie y fleecing??

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Don't hop on board the Duck hype train just yet, you may regret it after tomorrow night. I don't feel great about it.

 

[Killing_Joke]

Hell of a ride, not as fun as last year but still a good run. You'll get the Cup soon Hank. Someday..

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Fuck yes Bolts. Half the match-up I wanted.

Stamkos gets his chance!

Worst fucking Hobbit since Lobelia Sackville-Baggins. Fuck him.

That's some fucking obscure Tolkien material there, friend.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Wonder if Drouin plays anymore


lol

 

[~Kinggi~]

He is getting older

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

He is getting older

Give him to Tampa like the rest of your team

 

[purg3]

He is getting older

Yeah I thought this would be the year for him, hence me picking rags all the way.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Wonder if Drouin plays anymore


lol

Can we have him if you guys lose?

 

[Qwerty710710]

Get rid of MSL and Stall 2 pieces of shit. If I was Hank I would demand a fucking trade.

 

[calder]

From twitter:

It's a weird tradition that isn't that old really.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

If you guys give us Price and Subban and a smoked meat.

 

[Pikma]

Laugh at me whatever you want but I wasn't so wrong, I actually set the winner of the Red Wings-Lightning series as the one that would make it all the way to the SCF in my bracket

Spoiler

I went with the Wings though

 

[RangersFan]

Why do you hate Cally and Boyle?

They both wanted out. Cally demanded 7x7 with NMC and didn't budge. Boyle wanted more responsibility, and went to TB to fill the EXACT same role he did in NY, he probably would have got the same if not more $ here.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Don't hop on board the Duck hype train just yet, you may regret it after tomorrow night. I don't feel great about it.

Get the fuck on board the Ducks train. It's do or die.

Take a leaf from the coach on this one, Ducks-age:

Boudreau: "We need to have a strong mental game tomorrow. That's a real big advantage. We need to keep our composure and go at them."

Keep your spirits high and your foots on their throats.

 

[Silver Arrows]

the Caps fan in me is reveling in the salt of Rags fans

but seriously how does NYR not capitalize on anything when Hank was saving their ass time and time again?

 

[zroid]

Cally demanded 7x7 with NMC and didn't budge.

LOL wat

 

[emrober5]

So glad the Lightning won. Tampa needs a winner.

Rangers play an ugly offensive game, Bishop wasn't really challenged in either of his two shutouts in this series.

 

[Clydefrog]

Bolts better fucking win the cup now

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

LOL wat

To be fair, his stats aren't that far from Brad Richards and they gave him an insane contact. Callahan's problem was he was never healthy but after the other terrible contracts rangers made, he probably assumed he could get a huge payday.

 

[Qwerty710710]

Ducks/Hawks in 4 over shit ass TB.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

I want to make a reference to all the salt, but if the Ducks somehow lose then the saltiest will be me of all.

 

[Foggy]

Ducks/Hawks in 4 over shit ass TB.

[Dastardly Jerks]

WE ARE GOING TO THE FUCKING STAN LEE CUP

Well done, true believer!

 

[calder]

This image is why I can't and probably will never cheer for the Ducks ever.

Well, unless they play the Oilers or Canucks or someone I've hated for decades.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Saw very little of the game(Splatoon was calling), was it well played???

 

[zroid]

jesus, McDonagh playing with a broken foot???

 

[Razorskin]

Just inject some cortisone into it.
