(1) New York Rangers vs (8) Ottawa Senators - Playoffs Round 1

First goal was Kuba's fault. Third goal was Cowen. Gotta find a way to find more time and space for Karlsson. I hope he doesn't get punched in the face anymore; we can't afford the penalty

Showing their nerves a lot. Too bad, if they could finish, they'd be in this, but they can't and they're not right now.

Also, if I see Turris taking faceoffs at crucial times, I'm gonna lose it.

Really important to get at least 1 by Lundqvist tonight, if not 4.

I can't say I'm surprised.
I guess i can admit to picking rangers in 6... I hope I'm wrong.

Jeezus Diddle. Let's get on the board at least here. Can't have Lundqvist in our heads after 1 game.

oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh alfie!!!!!!!!!!!

For the first time in a long time I'm embarrassed with these guys.

Well, at least we're on the board. I'll take that. Didn't want to get shutout in Game 1.

Remember there are still a lot of inexperienced guys in the lineup in their first NHL playoff. The Rangers play tonight is nothing liked the played the Sens before.. and I think the Sens were a little too confident based on the regular season.

Let's hope a couple of lineup changes to get some more muscle in the lineup for next game. Hit the Rangers D hard whenever they can... and take out Boyle...

PK has been good tonight...

how could you be embarrassed? it's 1 vs 8 out here, it's a 7 game series.

yeah i agree, this first playoff game is probably hitting the nerves of some of the young guys in ottawa. the real test of how we can do will be on saturday.

Nice to see Condra get one. Boys are setting a nice tone for Game 2.

They picked up where they left off in the regular season.

They've played way better than that.

I think we'll see Lehner before this series is over.

you say they could play better then you blame it on Anderson

man sometimes I don't want to be a part of this fan base lol

Let's not panic, let's not get down. It was one game, and we played very well for portions of it. A couple breakdowns, a couple bad bounces, we missed a couple chances, and that was that. It was critical that they continue to push, and they were rewarded with a couple goals in the third.

Game 2 should be a little tighter, and we will be less nervous.

This team has proven throughout the year that they are resilient, and there's no reason to believe that they can't pull it together and win the next game.

Let's have some faith.

They played really well in the latter half of the 3rd. Avoid those horrendous breakdowns and who knows...
