Not a perfect game but it's about the battle and the end result!
I thought I was watching a video game no defense they showed hart ❤coming back though
This game made me go through a roller coaster of emotions.
I thought I was gonna pass out during the 3rd period.
Glad we got the job done in the end!!! Playoffs bound!!! ✅
What a wave of emotions type of game😅
Definitely missing lindy and troubs
great win for the rangers. great game for Mika.
Filthy Fox 🦊
Every time the rangers scored I fist pumped, whenever the flyers scored I kept a straight face because I knew the rangers would get the dub. I kept saying,”keep pounding and we will win.”
PLAYOFFS 🔥🔥🔴🔵🔵🔴🔴🔴
Winner winner foxy killer place was like a playoff game crazy
We are the best team ever 🎉🎉🎉
What a fuckin game 😅 glad we at least got a point though instead of none at all
THATS A PLAYOFF CLINCHING GAME! AND WERE IN THE FUCKING PLAYOFFS BABY AND ARTMEI PANARIN’S 100TH POINT OF THE SEASON! LETS GET THAT PRESIDENT’S TROPHY! LGR! 🗽
WHAT A FUCKING WIN FOR THE BOYS W COMEBACK WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE IN THE BUILDING FOR THIS ONE
93 doing things, Bread being Bread, 800th win for coach, Philly fan taking an L…I’m good!
Horrible game all around defense was horrendous got outplayed for most of the game and jimmy vesey had a terrible night two bonehead plays he made that lead to 2 goals but in there defense half there d core is hurt and wennberg was out so I'll give them that excuse but with that being said they still came back and won which is a sign of a good team. LGR…
LAFFY TAFFY!!
That was crazy no call on dirtbag Hathaway
Hey, dirty points are still points! Rare off game for Vesey.
Day 5 of saying i need that fox plush
I'm glad that we won and we're in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but defense needs to do better.
Also we need to protect leads and especially against teams that are fighting for a playoff spot like the Flyers for example
Fox with 3 straight 2 point games! He’s on absolute fire
Down 6 guys but they still win !
I wish Mackey was healthy he was intriguing in his 1st game against Sens .
Almost drop dead in 3rd period way it was going😭😭
No words for that game. Absolute defensive nightmare but found a way to win. LGR!
Igor giving up cheap goals again
The last Philly goal should never count, that was interference
Things couldn't have gone any better tonight. Panarin reached 100 points, the Rangers reached 100 points, Mika reached 100 PPG's as a Ranger, Lavi got 800 NHL wins, and we were the first to clinch the playoffs. What's funny is that we wouldn't have been the only ones to clinch if the Canucks, Panthers, and Canes lost their recent games; plus, Wings losing in OT caused the Bruins not to clinch. So glad everything went our way. Tonight was a resilient effort once again, not our best defensive game but we are missing half our defensemen after all. Glad we were able to come back once again (that's been a theme lately). A win is a win, and now we have 48 of them. LGR!!!
Rangers are like I was in intro physics class. Show up late to the test but still pass – it's more fun and interesting that way. But definitely have to cut it out before the playoffs.
Yeah, top of the league, let's go NYR!😁
Total roller coaster of a game. Love the shorty reaction. 😅 #classic.
#LGR❤ #PLAYOFFS 🏆
love watching you guys…..brings back memories with my dad, only the names are different… giacomin, park, gilbert, hadfield!!!
My heart can’t take games like this! We can’t have anymore trash first periods. Glad to see Mika working up, though. The shortie? Hey now 😎 And after that siiiick SO goal w/FL? 😮💨 Man’s HOT.
Great game
Fell asleep on and off in the 3rd. I'd wake up and the score would have changed. Weird dreams.
I’m a rangers fan from California, and this was the first rangers game I ever attended at MSG, and I think I picked a very good game! LGR
good luck in the playoffs saps
gg rangers, both teams played a great game and that 3rd period was something to watch.
i’m so mad i was exhausted and ended up falling asleep mid 1st period then woke up and saw we won in OT after being down 2-0. i was like dam i missed our clinching game which was one hell of a game. anyway LGR!!!
This was the first game I got to see in person and my god was it something. Throat hurts from yelling but it was worth it! What a game!!
What the fuck was this game 😭 I can’t tell if I’m happy or distressed about it 😭
And still nothing from Kreider 😒
