Henrik hasn't looked comfortable in this game. You definitely want to see him stop at least one of those two goals. He might be choosing the wrong time to have a bad game. Maybe he is just nervous, but I can't imagine that considering the performance he had against the Flyers last year, facing elimination, and the fact he has played a Gold Medal game. But he looks uncomfortable and he'll have to really elevate his play.
Kovalchuk looks unreal right now. He completely dominated that last shift. Skating in and out of players, having plays draped on top of him, and still being able to get off a decent shot. We will have to shut him down.
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, that Kovalchuk is having a good game. A guy that the Rangers could have had that fills a huge need the Rangers have if only Sather didn't give out ridiculous contracts to players who just don't deserve them.
They need Gaborik in the second and third period. If he will not show up and make some miracle they are done. By the way, Kovalchuk will get a hat trick today.
Lundqvist can't perform under pressure. I've come to realize this. Maybe the pressure is too much but for far too long has he choked under pressure when goalies like Ward, Miller, Halak , etc thrive under pressure.
If anyone rates Lundqvist over Richter they ought to get their head checked. He hasn't accomplished ****.
So far this one is on Torts for not dressing Avery, and on Hank for forgetting he's paid to actually stop the puck.
I disagree. Avery is not half the player he was for us at one time. He doesnt bring much anymore. He had an awful turnover leading to a goal last game as well.

Kovalchuk just might. It won't help. The Rangers will win today AND the Canes will lose tonight.
