QUOTES TO NOTE Every time out we want to win a game, and it didn't happen tonight. Now we have one more game in our building. We'll need a big start. We need that one. - Dan Girardi You try and carry the momentum over, but at the same time they're trying to neutralize it. They're coming out hard and playing hard. It's hard to carry momentum over from game to game and keep that rolling. - Ryan Callahan It’s obviously a very important game for both teams. We’ll be ready to play. There’s not much to talk about, both teams will be ready to play that game. - John Tortorella

LGR! JUST WIN. GET IT DONE BOYS!

Heads Up: The GDT is work in progress.

[BroadwayBlues]

5-2 Rgrs.

[Problematique]

Brilliant work Loffen and Ailurophile.
Let's getirdone Rangers!

[Kershaw]

2-1 Caps in Double OT.

Caps score in the final second to tie the game and an interference like goal will end the season.

Already bracing for the worst.

[17futurecap]

Amazing GDT guys, get it done, can't wait to be at MSG! Was at Ottawa game 7, and that was loud, well now is the time to be even louder!!!!

[SnowblindNYR]

The first post might have been the funniest thing I've ever seen. Why do you have Kreider and Stepan on lines 3 and 4? You don't think that they'll play on the 2nd line?

[JaeTM]

LMFAO that was the greatest thing ever. Great job.

Anywho...I have a feeling Ovy's gonna come out really hard and real strong but I have faith in our D. We NEED the bottom six to pot one or two, or get one from our D men. Come on boys I wanna watch more hockey against the Devils!

LGR!

[h0ckeyman]

Just ****ing win!

[Sunshine]

GAME 7 REFS: O'ROURKE & ROONEY...

...SAME PAIR THAT DID THE TRIPLE OT WIN

[drubov]

Just win baby... just win.

[Cmox]

Holy Moley this is hilarious!

To reiterate ... Just Win!
LETS GO RANGERS!

Rangers take it 2-1.

[DoTheBlue]

LOL GDT needs more Mitchell.

I am absolutely positively undeniably certain that this will NOT be the last game of the season.
