Rangers bounce back in again with a 4-1 win over the Senators at MSG. They always make hard work of it (just like the Albion!). Zuccarello, Grabner, Nash and Lindberg all scoring with Ludqvist stopping 26 goals.

Senators lead 2-1 in the series. Next game on Thursday at MSG

 

[Lower West Stander]

Go Zuke.

Will definitely come back if they make it for the Caps or Penguins.

That will be the real final given the nonentities playing off in the west..

Rangers back in the New York groove beating Senators 4-1 and even up the series to 2-2. And a bit of a punch up at the end.

Next game Saturday in Ottawa and with the Villa game Sunday it makes it a great weekend of sport

Two games last night in the first the Blues get a game back against the Preds. In the second no home team had won so far and when the Oilers led 3-0 with 3:16 to play, you would thought that trend was continuing. The Ducks had other ideas though and rallied to take the game into O/T, the equalizer coming 15 seconds from the buzzer. They then won it in the 2nd o/t period to take the series lead.

Brilliant battle Rangers vs Sens going on. End to end stuff, though perhaps not a defensive master class.

 

[mlg57]

Rangers less than 90 seconds from the win but Brassard takes the Sens into OT.

 

[mlg57]

And Kyle Turris wins it for Ottawa in 6.28 of overtime.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Just the fact that Calgary, Ottawa and Montreal made the playoffs was a huge advance for the Canadian teams. I hope I got the Canadian playoff teams correct.

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Yep - Senators take the game 5-4 in OT and series 3-2. Great game. Gotta hope Rangers do the business next Tuesday at MSG

 

[mlg57]

With the Caps winning at home to the Penguins all four games are now 3-2

After losing both their opening home games and being 1-3 down in the series, the Caps have battled back to take the Penguins to game 7. Can Rangers take the Sens to game 7 tonight?

Sure hope so - they'll have home advantage but it's going to be tough.

Lundqvist really holds the key, great form so far and as the oldest player the team looks to him in tough times

 

[Badger]

The playoffs do drag on a bit, don't they? I mean do they REALLY need to play best of SEVEN?

Agreed - but it's a huge money spinner, TV money, seats, advertising....................
