Both teams gave 110%. It’s been a great series and Rangers finally won and go on to play Tampa Bay Lightning in the Eastern Conference Final. Would love to have been at MSG for the celebrations.

[Lyndhurst 14]

Bit of a setback as Rangers suffer their worst defeat in the Cup so far at MSG with a 6-2 loss against TB Lightning taking the series to 1-1

 

[mlg57]

Well Lyndhurst must have been concerned when on a 5 on 3 PowerPlay Rangers conceded the opening goal shorthanded. New York did equalise on their next PowerPlay but conceded again shortly after. An even second period kept Rangers in with a chance but they were blown away with three unanswered goals in the last. Next game Wednesday in Tampa.

[mlg57]

The Hawks scored two PowerPlays in the first six minutes and the Ducks got a goal back before the tenth. They then equalized near the end of the second and that was that for lighting the lamp until 16 minutes into the third overtime period when Chicago grabbed the win.

[Lyndhurst 14]

Another tough, high scoring game and TB Lightning take it 6-5 in OT, and 2-1 in the series. Rangers need to get it back to 2-2

 

[mlg57]

Well what a rollercoaster that was, the Rangers take a 2 goal lead, then are down 2-4, make it 4-4 at the start of third, go a goal down but equalize with just under two minutes to play and then lose 3 minutes into overtime!

[Lyndhurst 14]

A 5-1 win by the Rangers pulls them back to 2-2 in the series. 2 goals by Nash and good to see Marti St Louis get on thr score sheet

Shame

 

[Elvis]

3 games left 2 at the Garden, hopefully the Rangers can get to the Finals.

[mlg57]

Another amazing game, don’t you just love Play Off hockey. The Hawks take the lead at the end of the first period, the Ducks equalize at the end of the second. Then the Hawks take an early two goal lead in the third. The Ducks fight back with three goals in 37 seconds!!! Chicago take it to overtime and the first OT is scoreless but they score 5 minutes into the second OT to tie the series, 2-2 same as Rangers v Lightning.

After conceding 5 in his previous two outings, Ben Bishop secured a shutout and two second period strikes saw the Bolts take the lead at the MSG. Now Rangers have to go to Tampa and win on Tuesday.
