Another big loss for the Rangers and another bad game for Lundqvist.

They've got to learn how to close out games if they want to go anywhere.

Another big loss for the Rangers and another bad game for Lundqvist.

Gave up at least 2 bad goals.
All 3 losses this series (and once more vs MTL) the Rangers gave up the winning or tying goal with a few minutes left or less.
Shameful.

Only consolation is that the Oilers had a 3-0 lead with 3 minutes left and lost. Just wow.

In all SC runs you can usually point to a defining moment. If they go all the way this will be that moment.

Looks like all match ups are 3-2. I guess that is parity.

Not all 3-2 matchups are created the same. Teams down 3-1 like Blues/Caps I think are done. Though there were a record amount of games that went to OT in the 1st round and that pace continues. That does show parity, but hopefully we get some game 7's.

Caps I can see but the Blues are the better team.

So were the Preds last opponent, we all know how that turned out

Emotion only takes you so far and last series has nothing to do with this one.

We'll find out shortly, Blues are one goal away from the golf course right now

I think you mean one game.

Not if they lose today, are you watching?

Yes I am watching at what are you talking about? It is in the second period and you are talking about the next goal?

Yeh tie game, blues leaving themselves no room for mistakes or fluke goals.

They still are not one goal away from the golf course. They are one game from the golf course no matter what we think. A ranger fan like you should know about one or even two goals.

Preds don't choke like the Rangers.
2-1 Preds 8 minutes left.

Good bye blues.

You must be enjoying the crow by now.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. 
Anytime you feel that with 15 minutes left in the second the next goal wins I will take anything you want to bet. I don't expect to hear from you but talk is cheap.

I didn't say next goal wins. You said Blues are good enough to advance despite being down 3-2, and I said they were only a goal away from elimination, if they wanted to win they had to assert their dominance like the Oilers did last night (okay maybe 7-1 is a little unreasonable). Also nice to see I got the Oilers pick right so far. My clock is ticking just fine it seems.

If you need any more scoops- tonight the Caps will head home, tomorrow the Rangers are heading to Game 7.
