QUOTES TO NOTE Any time you have a lead, you don't want to lose it. But it doesn't matter talking about it anymore. - Brad Richards We just have to go out and do it now, play the right way. It's pretty open. We're determined to win this. - Henrik Lundqvist I’m encouraged with the team, I thought we played better minutes tonight. It’s frustrating to lose in OT, but there are some good things. I still think we need some more guys involved. - John Tortorella

Heads Up: The GDT is work in progress.

[I Am Chariot]

Great GDT

Please Just Win...

[NYRFAN218]

I'm confident for whatever reason. Think they're gonna come out strong and the crowd will be into it big time.

LGR!

[HeaveHo94]

Beat them down!

[broadwayblue]

If I'm missing more beach time to watch the least they can do is win. lol

[KingWantsCup]

Win win win! Very excited for this game. Had to pull a few strings to switch out of the late shift to see this one.

LGR!

[lbrowne]

Please win this game. That barn is going to be a 'rockin!

[racer90]

its obvious that the rangers actually wanted to lose game 4, so they could win game 5 and then game 6 in Ottawa to pull off the ultimate troll job on all the Ottawa fans.

[EvilEmpire94]

LGR!

[Victory*]

[Killem Dafoe]

Just. ****ing. Win. Jeeschrist.

i like you.

[Slenke]

Come on Rangers, you can do this!

[Machinehead]

[insert obligatory Dubinsky sucks post here]

For the love of God just somehow please win this!!!

[BBKers]

Boyle, Strålman & Anisimov lead the team in scoring after 4 playoff games with 3 points each. Hardly the names expected to be there. Nor should they be. Giant wakeup call to the other 15 players on the team to Step the fugg up and bring it tonight offensively! Let's do this, LGR!!!

[TriFF51]

To me, this is MUST win...win tonight and i'd be really confident going into Ottawa...lose, and that will be an unbelievably difficult road game.

[Net Front Presence]

****ing win. Blow them out.

5-2.

[mrjimmyg89]

4-1 win. Similar to game 1

Gabby
Artie
Dubi
Feds

Smith

[Primetime Powerplay]

Gotta win this one. Don't want to be put in a position of being down going back to Ottawa

[Jumbo*]

MUST WIN. C'on Rangers!

[Glennsoe]

Someone other than Stralman PLEASE step UP and score...

Here's looking at several players....

[Maineice11]

biggest game of the year in my opinion....need to win this game!!!!

if you get a chance check out what feds had to say, he basically said we're not playing our best and we are not playing our game...i would expect them to get back to that tonight!

[BKBlackRanger]

Rangers will win tonight.

[CHS]

If we continue to play like we've done we might get run over tonight if Hank doesn't stand on his head.

3 humble requests:

Be better than the opposition team.

Show more heart.

Play harder.

Ps. Why didn't we get the face off virtuoso, the penalty killing, hard working, good in front of the net - Konopka instead of Rupp who's pretty irrelevant out there. Ds

[tlallstar6]

As close to a must win as I would like to experience this early in the playoffs.

Just win.
