    I told the referee what order I wanted to shoot and I put my finger up and told him to give me a second, because I wanted to check with Shanny [Brendan Shanahan] to see if he could go first after he'd been on at the end of [OT]," said Renney, whose team has gone first at essentially every home game.

    "I looked up, the referee was gone, he came back and he said, 'You're going to shoot second.'

    "I said, 'Wait a minute, I don't want to shoot second. He said, 'You told me that.' I said, 'No, I said to give me a second.' He decided I couldn't change my mind, or he couldn't change his, which was unfortunate. No shots had been taken. I was very, very clear."

    Lundqvist surrendered three goals on four shots. That was one too many.

    "I wasn't really ready for them to shoot first, but I don't blame the goals on that," he said. "Now, we just have to get ready for the big one on Sunday."

    tough morning for carolina fans.

    today i say we sit henrik, shanny, jagr, gomez. henrik could use the day off, shanny and gomez can rest their injured bodies, and maybe not sit jagr? you want to keep him hot.

    i know home ice is on the line, but ranger fans fill up probably about 40% of the rock, so losing home ice first round is not THAT bad.

    i think renney will push / play them all today.

    alltho,..maybe he needs to sit henrik today , ?

    he was completely absemnt from the prior game in the shootout-
    he looked completely lost and out of place ! At MSG no less !

    it must be done in regulation


    from the bulletin:

    April 06, 2008
    Best Four Out of Eight
    They've played seven already, and there may be as many as seven more to go. But today, there is one last game to bridge the regular season to the post-season for the Rangers and Devils. Today, the two trans-Hudson rivals play one last regular season qualifier to determine pole position for the playoff series that begins later this week. The Rangers have to win to get home ice advantage, but they have to win in regulation -- adding a fourth overtime or shootout win over the Devils will not do the trick. Look for them to treat a tie late in regulation time like a one goal deficit and pull the goalie in favor of an extra attacker.

    amazing !

    None other than Adam Graves himself, whose No. 9 will be retired on a different night before this ceremony takes place, told Bathgate of the honor over lunch in Toronto this week.

    From the final No. 9 to the greatest No. 9. How neat is that?

    Bathgate, who will turn 76 in August, is the fourth-leading goal-scorer and point-producer in Rangers history. He won the Hart Trophy in 1959 on a team that didn't qualify for the playoffs. From 1956-57 through 1962-63, he finished second in the Art Ross race twice; third twice; and fourth three times. He was a first- or second-team All-Star four times in an era when that meant bumping Gordie Howe, Rocket Richard or Boomer Geoffrion from the chart.

    Howell, who will turn 76 in December, was booed out of the captaincy in the mid-'50s but became popular enough to have been given a "Nite" by the team in 1966-67. He wore the Blueshirt in more games, 1,160 of them, than any player in franchise history. He won the Norris Trophy in Bobby Orr's 1966-67 rookie season, and thus stands as the only defenseman to eclipse Orr in the voting while No. 4 was healthy

    7-1 .

    At least they got that loss out of the way. I'd rather have it regular season than playoffs. And good for Jagr. 17 seasons of 25 goals or more.

    Good luck Rangers in the playoffs. I still can't believe my Canes tanked when it counted. Our motto next year won't be "win more games" but "lose more games in OT/shootout. Only 3 teams in the East won more games than we did, but we had so many regulation losses. No playoff hockey. This sucks! I guess I need to find a team to root for in the playoffs now. Any suggestions? ;)

    Jagr ended up leading the team in scoring with 71 points (Gomez had 70) and tied Chris Drury for the team lead in goals with 25. On the negative side of the ledger, a rusty Marek Malik got some work in case he's needed in the post-season, but his performance demonstrated that he won't be needed right away. More tomorrow...

    i would say so


    although the physical-ness will probably settle down as the series goes on

    it should be interesting
  • butterfly1butterfly1 Posts: 372
    I agree its going to be tough. Bet it goes the full length. Rangers need to shoot, shoot, shoot the puck. Not be tentative, and push the play.

    both goals yesterday scored by getting those pucks in the trenches

    You bet...Rangers took 7 of 8 from the Devs this year. Lundvquist made some awesome saves yesterday. I like my chances with Henric--at some point Marty's got to show his age.
