The lion and the tiger may be more powerful, but the wolf doesn't perform in the circus.

Im not convinced this series is over. Rangers have done nothing.

You are 100% correct this series is FAR from over, but they have done nothing? At TIMES, they have played great team defense.

The guy stood on his head tonight, but to say the Rangers are doing nothing means that the Caps must have scored on themselves quite a bit.
 
Next game will be fast and furious no doubt and Ovie finally has one in the goal column.

I agreed that TONIGHT they did a lot of things wrong. No doubt about it. But to say they have done nothing in the SERIES isn't right at all. In the 2 games in Washington, they played terrific team defense, limiting the Caps GOOD scoring chances to bad angle shots.

Lundqvist is great, but nobody seems to be giving credit to all of those shot blockers. I lost count of how many shots didn't get through in the last 4 minutes of the game. Has happened all series too.

not to mention the 75 shots that rang off the pipes behind him

I like Washington in game 5 but the price will be to high.
You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.

The best thing is when a guy like Brodeur wins 3 cups the Rangers fans give him no credit telling us that he plays behind a great D, Lundqvist wins 3 playoff games. 2 of them because his D was great and 1 because the other goalie handed him the game they go on and on like he is the greatest thing the NHL has ever seen.

First off let me say that I never talk shit about Brodeur as he is an all time great.

But with that being said, it seems as if you use that reasoning not to give Lundquist credit. I agreed with you on a couple things such as the Rangers defenseman playing great, blocking shots and whatnot. They won the first 2 games because of great defensive play in there own zone no doubt about it, but they won TONIGHT solely because of Henrik.

He did play a good game tonight. The Caps did hit some posts though and the Rangers D I thought played another game like they did in Game 2. I think he is an above average goalie and is doing what he needs to do to win a 1st round series

Zero Goaltending???  Ok we fucked up having Theo in game 1...  Varlamov's GAA in 3 games = 1.00!!  Unfortunately not winning the games!

First off..just like most Devils fans,worrying about the Rangers more than their own team.Geez just accept no matter how good you are you will always be the red headed step child of this area.
 
 Fatso is definitely an all time great but you have to admit the system they run helped. That same system while succesful is the reason hockey isnt even considered a major sport anymore. It went from one of the peaks in 1994 to a slow crawl led by the Devils clutch and grab trap which basically took the sport off the map in my opinion.
I'm not saying they play that way now but from 95 till the strike year soccer had more offense than hockey...
 
Henry has dominated heads up with Marty the last few years..i guess thats being overated too.

Oh and enough with the "hitting the posts" crap...i recall the Rangers hitting a couple in Washington and that game 3 post hit by Callahan that would of tied the game...

Yes finally someone says it! I have to say NJDevils being a Flames fan i only wish to have Brodeur or Luongo in my net! Yes we have Kipper but he aint Marty. Marty has won on all levels NHL, International, Jr. He even breaks the best goalies of all time i Mr. Roy records. Yet still the Rangers fans say he is shit.  How can any hockey fan not say he is the best goalie of all time is just a joke in itself. Forget his personally life we all make mistakes and do stupid things in life, but the one thing Marty does is win like no other goalie in NHL history! If you ask any GM or COACH and evn PLAYER what goalie they would put in net in a big game its Marty hands down! Lundqvist has been outstanding in the series, but to compare him to Marty is funny and just plain stupid!The only goalie who you compare to Marty and has a shot to break Brodeur's record and could be the best goalie of all time plays in Vancouver and that is Roberto Luongo. He is the next great goalie! If my Flames had either one of them we would have won a few more cups!
