Yes! Rangers destroy the caps. Lundy with a shutout 2 nights in a row!

I feel bad for you mate, but winning 4-1 with 11 minutes to go and messing it up, that's rough!

It's retarded!
However, as I put on.... Twitter I think.
1, Got to the playoffs and made it to Game 7 after being 3-1 down in the series - Unreal in terms of what I expected from the team.
2, Was within touching distance of the 2nd round, conceding 2 goals in the last 1:22 of regulation is poor IMO

But hopefully build on it next season.

My auntie that lives in Toronto (hence my support) had no faith whatsoever so it was nice to prove her (mostly) wrong

Ah, replied to your PM before seeing this post

Yeah, like I said, sadly I can't seem to find the time to post much anymore but will try as I miss it.

Really wish it wasn't off season for UK hockey. Saturday nights are dull as hell without it.

Shanks I'm an MKL fan!! I was born in Manchester but grew up down south in Leighton Buzzard. Been supporting MKL since 2008! Be great to have a discussion with you at some point about Lightning.

Lundqvist is an absolute netminding behemoth. Last nights game was one of the best displays from a NM I've seen since I started following IH.

Also, hi to anyone else who posts in this thread, follow the Rangers. I'm also a wellwisher for TB Lightning, considering they are the namesake of my UK team, MK Lightning. EDIT: Should probably mention that Kris brought them to my attention and after watching their games on GC think they have a pretty swell team.

Don't suppose we have any other English Premier fans in here do we? Begood to have a few folks to chat with who aren't completely blinkered.

Nervous about tonight. Rangers and Leafs winning would be ace, and really throws open the East.

Incidentally, because of seedings then Penguins vs Senators is set in stone meaning that the winners of tonights two games will play each other in the semis.

Rangers vs Leafs is ideal, although we would become enemies!

Ha! Tbf if that is the outcome, frickin awesome!! lol
Would love Kessel to get a hat trick to knock his old club out

edit: Really don't know who'd I'd prefer out of Caps or Rangers!

So happy! Now to tie it up in Toronto......hopefully.

Shame about Rangers Kris

Knew it wouldn't last forever and at least we got a W. Would be aces to get another game in Toronto though.

Huge game for Rangers, hope they do it for ya bro.

Can't wait for the Rangers game tonight. Gonna don my free XXL shirt they were handing out at the Garden, stock up on american beer/chips(crisps), and make a proper good do of it.

Leafs have it just about as difficult as it could be. A win tonight would be good though, give them another big home game.

I stand by my original point, fuck.

Losing in OT is a ballache. Getting a win in Boston would be cool but I think that's it for the Leafs season.

Great for Rangers to tie it up

Yes Rangers!

Sorry chip, that's a tough defeat for the Leafs.

Chiprocker

Yeah, I'd have to agree with that. Just annoying with that result being the first playoff game at the ACC in 9 years.
Just gotta hope for a win tonight to keep it interesting a little longer.

Superb result for Islanders last night.

It's funny you put those points next to each other, since the Game 3 at Islanders was their first playoff home game in about that same amount of time

Rangers vs Caps is gonna be ace tonight! Hopefully Rangers can tie it up and take the momentum back to Washington.

Oh really? fair play.

Would be cool for Leafs and Rangers to win and have tied series.

I don't know what happens to the Canucks in the playoffs, I think they lost the first round 4-1 last year too. They just seem to crumble completely.

Rangers vs Caps is gonna be ace tonight! Hopefully Rangers can tie it up and take the momentum back to Washington.

Sharks have just blown past the Canucks!

Not over at all mate. You need to win game 4 but you've proven you can win in Boston too. Personally, I think Boston will take the win in game 6, though

I was surprised Rangers lost, didn't see how well the Caps did this season

Ducks had a great result against Detroit.

Leafs win is ace for that series, the 2 home games will be great.

3 shutouts in 4 games yesterday, the keepers are really stepping up for the playoffs.

Hoping for big wins for the Islanders and Wild today.
