If there's one place that the narrative would dictate the Rangers MUST go through to in order to win a Stanley Cup, it would definitely be the house of horrors that has been the Bell Centre.

This really sucks. If the Rangers managed to beat Montreal it was supposed to be an 'overcoming adversity' thing not a 'won by default by hurting their best player' thing. Although, take heart in a few things, Habs fans: Steve Mason: .927 even strength save % in 5 playoff games vs. Rangers Marc-Andre Fleury: .933 even strength save % in 7 playoff games vs. Rangers Rangers' opponents' goalies in the regular season: .933 even strength save % (3rd best in NHL) The Rangers haven't shown much ability to take advantage of lesser goaltending, so this is not automatically a series breaker as much as it may be a morale breaker.

Duckman2008 posted:People joke about both players a lot, but I would assume there is a big performance gap between "lesser goaltenders" Steve Mason and MAF and "lesser goaltender" Budaj. MAF career: .910 Mason career: .907 Budaj career: .903 MAF last three seasons at even strength: .917, .929, .916 Mason last three seasons at even strength: .926, .910, .911 Budaj last three seasons at even strength: .915, .915, .923

I hope this doesn't come off like a "can you even skate backwards" kind of thing, but I don't understand why I keep seeing "Kreider went skates-first!" as some kind of smoking gun. Do people understand that when you are skating very fast the way to stop yourself is...to go skates-first?

How about we apologize for not having to go through Boston after we actually beat Montreal

Canadiens were the better team in Game 2, Rangers were the better team in Game 3! Hockey balance achieved.

Even if you think he didn't hit his head, you can't think it's not a dangerous late hit, right? Like, one that has a good chance of causing injury? Cracking down on head shots doesn't mean you have to ignore other dangerous actions too. Hell even if you're going at it from a concussion point of view, you don't even have to get hit directly in the head to suffer a concussion. Way too much is being made of the hit anyway. Not much impact on the rest of the series, since Stepan seemed fine once he returned. Prust did something dumb and probably gets suspended for a game or two. His absence won't hurt the Habs. Carcillo's removal was sort of related to the hit, and his absence won't hurt the Rangers. Let's play hockey.

NHL DPS needs to implement trial by combat so we can settle these things without all the angst. Who will be Kreider's champion?

So apparently Stepan broke his jaw from the Prust hit and is undergoing surgery

Sounds like it.Loqieu posted:Vigneault said the Doctors cleared him to play, which is why he put him back out there. @KatieStrangESPN #NYR Stepan did have X-rays last night that came back negative. He was sent for more detailed scans today, which revealed the fracture

Imagine a Game 4 where the Rangers second best Center is Brian Boyle

EvilJimmyCarter posted:Whoops looks like Stepan isn't fine *barf* @StapeNewsday Not quite sure if anyone's waiting for a timeline for Stepan to return. Surgery means at least 3-4 weeks, likely more. He's out.
