really good deal

I'm really hoping the old garden crowd shows up tonight. Whether its the ticket prices, acoustics or whatever, the crowd has taken a hit since the renovations happened... I for one go to less games now than in high school and I was broke in high school.

I hope youre right.

I went to 10 games this year, the only one that i really felt the energy was the game against the sharks.

Either way i think the rangers willl come out strong tonight. We need to take it to the habs early and often and i think we'll be ok.

Guys, I just heard that Kabooz closed down last night. Hope nobody was going there.

Geez, I spoke to my friend Mark, who is the manager there this morning when I made my reservation and he didn't mention that.......

Great deal. Gotta shore up that defense a bit more and you'll be set up for playoff contention for a while.

I think Phaneuf would be a great add for you at the right price.

Are you feeling alright Rangerdanger?

Time to play the game...almost.

What a difference two weeks has made for this team.

Where is this place? 8th Avenue side? I'm at Penn every day, twice a day, but on the 7th Avenue side.

Fixed.

That I think is the biggest achievement for these guys so far (gettin through that) That schedule was flat out unfair, a gauntlet, for any team to have had. That's brutal in the regular season let alone playoffs. It really didn't get much publicity either of how difficult it was...AV used it a bit but I don't recall hearing much about it otherwise

Coupled with the likelihood that Western Conference Final will go at least six; a quick series victory will be huge for the Rangers.

And this schedule now is brutal for fans but what a saving grace for this team now. They get to rest and play the ECF at the same time. 2 day breaks? Taking a week and a half for 4 games? It's great for this team and a chance to rest up from the last round. We went from Back-to-Back, Day off, Game, Day off, Back to back to this. Its such a blessing.

Didn't you give me credit for something recently? I forget what it was lol

I just want to win period. 2-0 means nothing. 4 wins and then I'll talk about rest for the finals.

Really can't stress how important Kreider's return to the lineup has been as well.

It's really a perfect storm for the Rangers. The entire team rallied around a tragedy to a teammate/brother and they all seemed to have found their games collectively too.

With their backs against the wall the Rangers showed us their heart and their character.

It's championship quality; I haven't been more proud to be a fan of this team than I have been these last two weeks.

I am not suggesting the series is done. I can't deny that I am feeling confident about this team's prospects but I am not writing off the Canadiens just yet.
