As disappointing as it is, was an awesome run. Much further than anyone gave us credit for.

We'll always have the Price excuse

Maybe they ran out of gas for this one? Yes it was a good run, but I expected more from them tonight.

hehehehehehehehehe

Worship me

Great run it was.

There will be no Price excuse.

Never seen a team win not scoring a goal.

I was talking in terms of the series, but it was also a joke. Gotta get past obstacles.

No Price cost us pete.

Absolutely not John.

I hope your joking.

yup last 3 loses combined 3 goals I don't think this is a blame the goalie story

@EricEngels difference in the series was game 1 plus Price injury. As well the Habs skill guys did not adapt to brutal ice in New York

Tokarski played his heart and played great. Credit to him keeping the game close.

Habs coaches all over the league. A lot of them good.

Agreed. It'll be over in 5 or 6.

I don't agree. You're underestimating this Ranger team. I HOPE they get poopcanned, but I see it going 7 against either LA or Chi.

Disagree different series with price in net

Which would be a shame because we've been getting great first and second round hockey but it sucks when the Finals isn't a clash of titans.

Makes you wish they had a 1 to 16 playoff format but the players would hate the travel schedule for it.

Ya I think la wraps it up as well

LA is on a roll almost as impressive as when they won the cup. The most impressive thing is that Chicago isn't done by a long shot.

The west is so much stronger. I don't see how the Rangers or Habs really had/have any hope anyway unless Kings Hawks beat each other down completely.

They had what 2 decent opps on 18 shots? They got outplayed badly. But hey I was happy to see 4 PO games and they played 17

Tokarski played too well for the price injury to be brought into this imo.

Absolutely not John.

Game two go down 2-0 at home. Also MSL ot goal CP would have had it.

Price would have won the series easily.

Lame excuses actually.

for sure. Better puck handler, more confident.

The Rangers will compete.

Lame excuses actually.

When he publishes the blog it will be treated like the gospel in here.

If they get Chicago, they have a bit better chance because they win the goaltending battle hands down but against the Kings, the Rangers already crappy offense will be stifled.

Unless they run the goalie that is.

I think you're underestimating the Western teams, they're both a tier above. That series is the true SCF in my heart.

Lame excuses actually.
- Cape Breton Bruins

Yeah, I don't buy that.

While I agree it looks that way...it has for a long time and yet eastern teams do win now and then

m'eh. Game 2 to go down 2-0 was key. He cost us that game.
- BingoLady

He also gave u a chance to win in game 3, 4 and tonight.
2 of those u were outplayed.

Point is; blaming the series on kreider and losing price is bs

Tokarski played his heart and played great. Credit to him keeping the game close.
- Yeti1181

He was their best player tonight. Stood on his head.
