2011-12 NHL Playoffs LD

Definitely going to be tough, though, the Rangers seemed really tired to me tonight. Lundqvist was not nearly as sharp as usual, and the Rangers seemed to be on their heels for significant portions of the game. They are definitely more than capable of coming back, but it won't be easy.

11 DOWN, 5 TO GO!​

It happened before, it can happen again.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Got to wonder... if the refs had not missed that high stick on Stepan what this game might have looked like.

Nice video IDR, however I don't think Callahan will make another guarantee. He'd just be a rip-off.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I'd hope he doesn't. I fuckin' hated that guarantee. Had we lost, I'd have been the first in line to hang Messier by his neck from the center ice rafters.

Man I saw this morning the Devils pulled out the win last night. Rangers need to but some boots to asses form the next two games.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

It's not like the Rangers haven't been in this position before... quite recently. They've forced game seven already — they can do it again.

The problem with that is, the Rangers are already tired, and it will take a lot more out of them to overcome their 3-2 deficit. Which will leave them in dire straits against the rested Kings who have a ton of momentum. And Jonathan Quick.

 

[Lowdown]

If the Kings are smart though, they'll only have a few days off and then practice so they're not too rested when Game 1 starts Wednesday.

Versus the alternative? I'll take my chances in the Finals.

I would pay so much money to see IDR right now.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

My heart can't take this shit.

 

[klunderbunker]

Imagine this being Game 7. Of the Cup Finals.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Imagine this being Game 7. Of the Cup Finals.

I can't. We need to GET there first.

Worst thing is... if we win tonight, I'm gonna be RIGHT BACK HERE again on Sunday, on the edge of my seat, my heart fuckin' racing.

Which is what makes me laugh. The image of you is great. I'm the same way in the NCAAs though.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

My stomach is in knots right now.

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm really liking this new batch of channels we've gotten. NBC Sports HD and MLB Network. I can live with this.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

NBC Sports is actually Versus. They were bought by NBC last year and re-branded.

 

[klunderbunker]

Ah I see. We had Versus so that makes sense.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Yup. NHL has exclusive post-season broadcasting rights with NBC. They just re-signed this past off-season, I believe, so NBC re-branded Versus and is building the NBC Network up. NBC, NBC Sports Network and CNBC all carried the NHL playoffs this year.

 

[klunderbunker]

I rarely watch hockey. I follow it to a degree but I couldn't name ten players.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Fucking overtime...

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm having flashbacks to that triple overtime game. Even I was getting into that and I didn't care who won.

 

[jmt225]

Sorry, IDR. That's a tough loss. I feel for you.
