    Question-

    Does it seem like the Islanders and Devils fans care more about us than we do about them?

    Like all Im doing is paying attention to what we need to do to win and I dont get butt hurt everytime theres a small slight against the team. Yesterday on the FAN all these Devils fans were whining about those Igor chants and how that place was rocking and there were plenty of Devils fans. Like who tf cares?

  3. NewYawk-Giants

    LETS FUCKING GO RANGERS! FOX SCORES TONIGHT!

  4. DatboyGruber

    My stomach is in absolute shambles today but if you think that’s going to stop me from doing my duties and crushing beers tonight, you are out of your fuckin
    Mind.

  5. JPmoneyman

    Let’s pack their barn again. These loser Debbies fans are selling their tickets.

  6. music_chris

    Take a second and imagine how AMAZING it would feel to be up 2-0 going back to the Garden

  7. ColdGloop

    Well… I believe if we win tonight, we go up 2-0. But if we lose, I’m pretty sure the series will be tied 1-1.

  8. ShouniAishaKuma

    Trying to be productive at work is rough 😔

    I’m FIENDING for some more playoff hockey

  9. We need to come out firing on all cylinders like last game. The Devils will want to establish things early and we need to squash them. I expect the Devils to be hungry because they can’t afford to go to NY down 2-0. This is a must-win for them.

  10. Rangers need to make this a short series and be well rested for later rounds if they want to make a long run. Winning tonight and going back to MSG up 2-0 could certainly help make that happen. Rangers need to show a killer instinct and not let the Devils back into this series.

  11. IndependenceBoring35

    Do. Your. Job. And we will win the game. No dumb penalties. No jumping up to give them breaks. LGR

  12. SteveyPugs2020

    Is it 7:30 yet?! This day is going brutally slow. I need me some ranger hockey! Keep it up boys, skate hard and forecheck. Keep the rebounds to a minimum and Igor will do his job. Love to see Mika and Kane plus the kids score tonight.

  13. TheFamousM0ckingbird

    Work bought breakfast and lunch today, and Im savin my calories for beer. LGR Dinners at 7:30

  14. toothless005

    Have to work tonight… i will be wearing my rangers hat AND have my phone on watching this game…

  15. the_mair

    I would expect the Devils to come out flying in the first period after getting punched in the mouth game 1. I think a heavy does of the fourth line in the first period to wear them down would be a smart idea, then take advantage of a frustrated team in the second and third periods.

    If at any point the Rangers get a multiple goal lead hit them like there is no tomorrow (cleanly of course).

  16. Area51Anon

    Do I get baked for the game or do I wait until after the game so I’m on absolute edge for the entirety of the game?

  17. hman1025

    What’s everyone smoking today? I’ve got some lemon OG haze but the devils pack later is gonna HIT

  18. Area51Anon

    Just think – all of their fans were at some point faced with the decision of choosing the Rangers or Devils living in the suburbs of NYC… and they chose the Devils lmao

  19. HowardHughes529

    Can someone comment on this so I don’t have to go looking for the thread later lmao

  20. jhealey0909

    I’ve been boycotting all music made by New Jersey artists out of principle, which is kinda tough considering Streetlight tickets go on sale soon.

    Doesn’t matter though, LFGR. It’s no coincidence that Bruce Springsteen’s best album was named after a different state

  21. Sjdillon10

    Home teams came back strong yesterday. Devils going to come out swinging

  22. Guyfromnewyork95

    *showing up at the Rock*

    We are here to have a meal

  23. superdad0206

    Playoffs are all about adjustments. We slowed them down on Monday. They will adjust. So tonight is all about how they adjust to our play on Monday.

    And how our coaching staff prepares the team on how the Devils might adjust.

    If we can keep their speed as a non-factor tonight will go well. It’s all about the adjustments from Monday’s game.

  24. jerejeje

    Anyone else didn’t realize how good Georgiev did this year? I’m looking now and his stats are really impressive. 40-16-6, .918 sv%, 62 games played?

    I do wonder, if we never got Igor, would he be our franchise goalie?

  25. ontherok

    Several months ago, I bought a concert ticket for a show tonight at Webster Hall (E 11th between 3rd and 4th Aves). Welp, fuck. I’m trying to catch as much of the game at a nearby bar or the like before I have to switch to MSG Go on my phone. Any recommendations for a sports bar in the area that will be playing the game? I’m from Brooklyn and don’t know that area too well. Thanks in advance.

  26. LilMissLinNim

    I think we need to have a pinned daily (as in game day) hockey prayer thread in here. It worked for Game 1, so no reason why we can’t continue to invoke the hockey Gods to impart their blessings and protection.

  27. Well apparently ruff is shaking up their lines, and the general consensus is not approving. So that’s fun. Gotta watch out for 1st line meier, but i have complete faith in zib and kreider to handle business

  28. albynomonk

    They’re going to come out hard in the 1st. Weather the storm. Stick to the dump and chase style.

  29. Charming_Voice2778

    So what is everyone’s take on Kane ?

  30. wien-tang-clan

    A controversial take:

    I like the Rangers.

  31. DangerousStorage1

    LETS GET THE WIN!! Working is going pretty damn slow again..
