[MDSF] New Jersey Devils (M2) vs. New York Rangers (M3) | Devils win series 4-3

[mll]

NJD back to using their speed.  Rangers were outshot 20 to 2 in the 3rd period.  

 

[Master Mind]

Rangers blew a 2-0 series lead in the ECF last year vs Tampa.

 

Imagine blowing a 2-0 series lead twice in a row.

[Bounce000]

Maybe the Rangers thought the series was a best of 3 and these past 3 games were only for stat padding?

Oof traded for Kane and Tarasenko. They should be glad they didn't have give up a ransom to get those two. So much for Kane getting upset cause Rangers didn't trade for him until he said he wants to go there. 

 

But... stranger things have happened. Scary thing is NJ is winning without needing Meier to score. Argh I am jealous of NJ...

I am pretty surprised with this series. I thooght the Rangers would walk away with it. Not a fan the NYR.

[Jaimito]

Lazar scores.  Happy for him.  

[DownUndaCanuck]

Good for Lazar, hope NJD can silence the Rangers and send them into a mad retool. A first round exit for the Devils is fair play, they're only just starting, but for this Rangers team who have so much experience and sold so much to get bounced in 6 would be too sweet.

[Jaimito]

Rangers offense is back. 

[DownUndaCanuck]

They've solved the kid, game 7 should be interesting, really up for grabs. If NYR have their mojo I think they might actually take it.

[Jaimito]

Rangers score 5 in every game they have won this series. 

[Alflives]

When the Rags play heavy the Smurf sized Jersey forwards (and Doogie) get scared.

I actually just came here to post this. Rivalry hockey is something else.

This series has drawn the least interest among our fan base if the whopping six pages in this thread is anything to go by. 

Rags deserve to lose for offering us crumbs for JT.

Don’t like NJD either. I’m baffled by my indifference as to the outcome.
 

I hope that the Canes make mincemeat out of whoever advances.

I like this series, just have less time to browse these forums.
Hope the Devils win. Will be watching game 7 live.

Speaking of riots some US teams have these brawls in their stands.

Crazy because it should be one of the hottest rivalries, but it's just so far away from home to be honest. Everyone hates Toronto so that page has exploded, everyone hates Boston so that page has exploded, the West is pretty close to us and to be honest the Rags are so different to '94 that no one cares anymore.

 

I'm really rooting for NJD though, not just the Hughes connection but good to see a team who has properly rebuilt, having some success, and via the path of over-compensating on defence. I doubt they win it in game 7, this is probably the beginning of their villain arc, but it's good experience for the kids nonetheless.

Fans scrapping in the stands is beyond dumb, but it looks like that guy got what was coming to him....

Not new. Last yr a TB fan got suckered punched.  

That's NYC.  You get punched for no reason too. No need to increase your odds. 

[-Vintage Canuck-]

Lazar scores in Game 6 and gets scratched in Game 7. Interesting.
