We can’t put ourselves in that situation, especially this time of year when teams crack down even more defensively. - Michael Sauer My belief in the team is getting stronger. It is about results and it is about winning, but we’re doing the right things. We just haven’t been able to win games consistently, especially in the second half of the season. - John Tortorella

[Loffen]

Sigh, here we go again. Can we win this time?

LGR

[Blatant]

Can you say must win?

[NYRFAN218]

Not another game.

Please, please, please win.

[Brian Boyle]

Lose 4 Larsson!

No, but seriously, ****ing win. They won't though, we're in Carolina.

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Must win.

I expect a win here. Don't disappoint me you mother****ers.

[darko]

2 points please.

LGR

[WeWillWinTonight]

Whatever it takes this team must win this game.

[EmpireStateofMind]

Once again, a must win. Please win and get 2 points. LGR.

[NYGRYK21]

We gotta win. Not gonna lie, I love those line combos.

[FultonReed]

NEED these 2 points. lets go, boys.

[FutureGM97]

I'll be in class for this one...

[Primetime Powerplay]

must win here

[Jaromir Jagr]

Team has been sinking lately.

However, lose this game in regulation, and might as well abandon ship IMO.

[nyrleetch]

Avery Scores.

Mark My Words.

I'll Bump This When He Does.

[Vitto79]

for the love of god................do this

[Machinehead]

If you look up insanity in the dictionary you'll find a picture of the Rangers. Every day we watch this God forsaken team expecting them to actually win and yet it's always the same result.

[New England Hockey]

We need to come up ****ing pumped. Maybe a road trip will be good for this team. Finish our checks start from finish, and give them NO space in their defensive zone. We can't be a step slow on the forecheck like we were our last 2 games.

Just. Win.

Samsanov

[New England Hockey]

Calling a big game from the Dubi-Arty-Cally line.

[Punxrocknyc19]

how many times are we gonna hear Staal vs Staal



id love to see them fight...


but im gonna say 3-2 Rangers

goals by McDonagh Dubinsky and Boyle

[Blue Line Monster]

Every time we play the Canes it turns into a run and gun game. Not really good for us. They get some odd man rushes where they get good chances, then we get an odd man rush and dump it into the corner or make some dumb play like avery taking a weak wrister from a bad angle.


LGR

[ColonialsHockey10]

I have a feeling the Rangers crush the Canes tomorrow. Hopefully I'm right, LGR!

[StaporNY]

I just hope we win. Im happy the Wolski, Stepan, MZA line is back!
