looking back , ...... things probably all went down under with that entire 7.7 seconds left fiasco up in HSBC Arena .
[size=+2] 7.7 [/size]
i'll be thinking about that this whole summer
and no, its not phil espositos number ,
i think we all know exactly what i am referring to .
instead, we let them put the dagger in us , in our house.
oh well.
was a great ride they took us on this season,
look forward to september and training camp in greenburgh.
I couldn't watch the game live, so I just finished watching through DVR. wow, what a game!!!!!!!!!
there's no way I would hang my head as a Rangers fan......those boys gave it all they got til the end.......
you might blame that 7.7, but looking back at the series.......there's one glaring item, the Rangers simply did not score 5 on 5. Most of their goals were on the PP. Either you had to start scoring even strength, or get buff into the box constantly.
I hope Buffalo smacks the shit out of Ottawa. LETS GO BUFF-A-LO
Rangers out played the Sabres during the whole series...Game 2 they out played, 3 and 4 they won, game 5 they out played them and just didn't have luck their way.
Next year is going to be the big year. Next year is probably Shannys last year, Jagr is almost at the end of his prime...their young players have had experience in the playoffs now...Lundquivst is the goalie he should be...I think we will go really far next year
I hope we sign Avery but I hope we get Scott Gomez as much as I hate him. Imagine a line of Gomez, Jagr, and Shanahan...We have to get rid of Malik and Rachunek
Rosival has my respect after this playoffs...most minutes out of the team, has been the best defensemen

Next Year Starts Now. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I can't wait for next season. Although those early season October games might be overshadowed be possible baseball playoff games, I can't wait. This year was the most exciting Ranger season since the mid-1990s.

i dont know what series you were watching, but theres no way in hell the rangers "out played" the sabres. especially in game 5. they would have been very lucky had they won that game.
Cheat the odds that made you
Brave to try to gamble at times
we gave it to them once we let them lure us into their run and gun style of play.
congrats Buffalo.
Show NY proud.
you're a class act bathgate! (as are most ranger fans that I know) don't worry about us against ottawa...they have a joke of a goalie...sabres in 3.
as far as the 7.7 goes...i was just talking with a friend...about being on your end...and i came up with the 'homerun throwback' vs tennessee in 99. that was much worse than norwood for some reason...awful.
sabres have made a living off of those types of wins over the past 2 years, i don't know how they do it...
all i know is that the ducks scare me. don't wanna face them....
And you ask me what I want this year

i wouldn't get too cocky, ray emery looked fairly decent against the devils and your coach thinks they're playing the best of anyone still in the playoffs and a coach knows more than fans.

ok, i'm just telling you what their coach said after today's game. if the sabres play the way they did the last two games, then yes i agree with you but if they don't and fall into the trap of playing a 2-1, 1-0 game, then it might be a problem. I think the Sabres win it but I think it's a long series, six games at least.

lindy is a great coach and is calling his team out...he knows that they need to play better than they have to beat ottawa...

when heatley's not killing someone, and when spezza's not pissing himself, and when alfredsson is not choking...they seem impressive.
but they really aren't. Only thing that can kill the sabres is the PP....hate our special teams.

i have alot of respect for rangers fans, i always have and always will. u guys are what every fan should be like. i may hate the rangers alot but they are always a first class team in whatever they do. thanks again to u guys for letting me as a islanders fan post in here. im kinda sad to hockey end here in the nyc area cause since the start of the playoffs ive been going to my grandparents house and watching hockey with my grandpa(life long rangers fan) for all the isles games and rangers games
Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
might be among the best posts, i've ever seen from you. well-said. although not many care, hockey is back in a big way in this area and this thread is a perfect example of that.

i dont know what series you were watching, but theres no way in hell the rangers "out played" the sabres. especially in game 5. they would have been very lucky had they won that game.
Game 1 we obviously didn't have our head in it
Game 2 - we had 33 shots on goal, they had 18...we kept up with them and out shot them, just didn't show up for the 3rd period
Game 3 and 4 - we played way better hockey then they did in everything
Game 5 - We didn't beat them in a lot of the statistics but we did play an even game until the 3rd period...we out skated them for majority of the 3rd, up until 2 or 3 minutes after our goal, after that the Sabres had their momentum...We outplayed them for 2 1/2 of the 3 periods
My aunt works with Melrose, and even he thinks that the Rangers played a better series than Buffalo, but in the end the Rangers gave up mistakes at the wrong time

Friday night....at the bar......enjoying my time..........and then Drury some how, some way, puts it through three people and the goalie. My bubble was burst. Sorry NYR fans. You get that game, I think you would have had the series. Good run all the same.
