Leave it to the Rangers to lay down and die in the biggest game.

Carolina makes it, they won the regular season series against us.

Carolina. They have the H-to-H tie-breaker.

Yep, it's exactly why they're in this position. Feast or famine, zero consistency. One game they're a top10 team and the next a god damn bottom dweller.

haha whether we like it or not it really is still the LAST game of the season. even if the Canes win it comes down to Rangers needing to beat the Devils and having the Lighting beat the Canes

[Fataldogg]

Lundqvist was the only one who showed up tonight. Several major saves to keep the game respectable. Could have been a blow out.

That being said, there wasn't any positive I could take from this game. Girardi was awful. Gaborik was bad. Boyle continues to struggle to score, he has shown his true ability to score now. First half was complete luck. 3 goals in his last... 30 games now right?

The erratic offense for this team continues. What are they going to score? 5 goals or 0? Because, there isn't much of an in between for this team.

Gaborik hasn't scored in 8 games right now. He has to be a game breaker. Absolutely terrible season.

This game meant everything for the Rangers tonight. This was a "MUST" game and they were a no show. How can this be the biggest game they have played all season and they're a no show? A must have win, they didn't show up, and will likely miss the playoffs by 1-point again.

Watch Buffalo and Carolina lose out . . . . . . Funny, I know. . . . . .

[nyr2k2]

The future is bright!

[rangers923]

how the hell do they play a big game like this with no effort? really disappointing

[Onion Boy]

Gaborik was benched after that backcheck right?

[Inferno]

Outside of 1 play, I thought Dan Girardi was absolutely PUTRID tonight.

Which is exactly why you can't feel our pain

[StaalWars]

Stay the course.

[NikC]

destiny is out of their hands now. the season needs to end on this hafl@ssed constructed team.

zero offense, zero powerplay.

dumb@ss coach. Assistant coach in a coma.

7.5m star floater.

team full of 3rd liners.

primadonna overpaid goalie, who collapses routinely in big games.

lots of changes should be coming offseason.

it's coming down to the last game of the yr. As Atlanta showed 2nite anything can happen so maybe they surprise the Canes 2morrow.

Also Buffalo has to lose to Philly

I'm not rippin on you but your smoking something. The Canes are going to steam roll Atlanta now that the Rangers have dropped the ball and given up.

Ok, thats it. I'm done.
