    I think we have 1 game in hand on a few of the rivals,
    so our destiny is still in our own hands,
    not any other teams.
    just saying extra cushion would be nice

    agreed. i just get to the point sometimes when i'd rather not see my team make the playoffs -- either because i get disgusted with their play and don't think that they've earned it or because the stars have aligned in such a way (injuries, slumping, etc.) to pretty much guarantee that they will just embarrass themselves if they make it. i'm not there yet with the shortened-season rangers.

    your team just has to get in ... you got hank ... which means you're capable of beating any team in the east right now in a 7-game series ... the penguins are strong but fleury is vulnerable mentally and he just may fold like he did last year ...

    How about you guys win tonight so you can put us out of our misery.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Post-Game Quotes:
    - John Tortorella on tonight’s game…
    “We played much better defensively and I know they concentrated on it. It’s a hard game, I don’t want to make any excuse for them, but it’s hard coming off that trip and the travel. I’m happy they grinded away and found a way. It’s a good team we were playing, but I’m happy they found a way to get two points.”

    - Henrik Lundqvist on tonight’s game…
    “It’s such an important game, so I don’t think it’s that hard to stay focused. But I think the tricky part is when they finally get there, they’re pretty good. They set up guys for good opportunities and they’ve got some guys who can score. That’s the tough challenge, but I thought we played a really strong game and I’m happy we got the two points.”

    - Ryan McDonagh on tonight’s game…
    “I don’t think we spent too much time in our zone, at least compared to our last game. We didn’t have the numerous breakdowns but when we did Henrik was there, as he’s been all year. The save he made in overtime was just humongous. I think after that he in himself wanted to make sure we got that second point in the shootout, and he did a great job there as well.”

    many were getting on hank early on (myself included x10) but he put together yet another stellar season, this time completely under the radar. 2.12 GAA / .926 SV%.

    Bad news is, Isles lead in R/OWs column now.

    Saturday is the biggest game of this shortened season,
    and the irony that its against the cross town rival isles.

    Zuccarello has been a constant buzzing ma]chine, even going up against the opponents biggest names/players.
    He should be in every shootout here on out.
