If the Rangers make it to the finals they'll have played 21 games + 6 OT periods of hockey.

I think it's funny that the Rangers played 14 games just to get to round 3, while we played 14 games to get to the finals. It doesn't really matter who we play, but of course any mental or physical advantage we can get at this point helps.

Same, which is not something I ever saw myself doing. Feels dirty rooting for a New York team.

I'm rooting for the Rangers for the next two games. I want their exhausted, bruised guys versus the rested Kings. Devils scare me a bit, but it was nice seeing that they do let teams back in the game after taking a giant lead.

Imagine how many empty seats there would be without all those Ranger fans there
Devils PK is VERY aggressive
Edit: The Rangers look flat again

Rangers have looked tired this entire series. I think we might have a better chance against the Rangers than the Devils.

Devils 4th line is destroying the rangers. Carter makes it 1-0.

That's at least the third odd man rush already for the Devils. The Rangers appear done

That's why the devils will win the series. They are a better team.

Rangers need to luck their way through the next two games, then they can fall apart.

I picked the Devils winning this series and it seems like I'm gonna be right! I think they're getting shutout this game! Rags just ran out of gas?

They're out of gas. They've played a full series worth of games more than the Kings and it shows.

NY PK is so passive. Hopefully the kings can surprise NJ with their PK. Kovalchuk on the point for 2 minutes can be dangerous.

OK Pierre... The Devils PP looks good but it's getting a helpful assist from mannequins dressed as Rangers out there.

Oh, I know. That's why I want them in the Finals so badly. Too bad it's not going to happen.
