[fingerbang]

Can you hear us?

[MJL80]

I agree... Rangers in 5

Rangers in 7.....I think this is gonna be a great series really, I think you're all gonna feel about Dorsett like you did about Prust and hopefully Clowe gets back because this is his time of year. Pumped boys!

Let's go Rangers!

-Any news on Staal? And is Dorsett confirmed for game 1? How about Clowe?

I'm not one for making predictions but I like the match up with the Caps. That's not to say that the series won't go the distance. Just look at what happened last year.

We have to play our game and Nash/Hank have to lead us.

Thursday night cannot come soon enough...

[SLY WILLIAMS]

I predict DelZotto scores 6 points in game 1!!!

I wish they started the playoffs on Wed. Thursday does seem far but it will help our injured players.

What are the lines you guys would use?

Only fitting we play the Crapitals again. I can't wait

Well it certainly looks like Boyle and Clowe won't be a part of game 1.

I really hope Clowe comes back for this series as we can certainly use his presence. Dorsett is still in a non contact jersey but i am sure he will be cleared soon.

As for Staal, like BSI said, he is getting shifts with Girardi in practice so i am sure he will ready.

Zipay also reported they had Haley taking shifts on the 4th line.

This game feels like it will never get here after so many games in the last two months.

[IAmARanger18]

Clowe and Boyle traveled with the team, Clowe may be in the lineup tomorrow, you would think if he was concussed he wouldn't be on a plane, I think we may be inserted in the lineup, but very late tomorrow.

And oh yeah ONE MORE DAY BOYS!!!

Nice to see Redden score for Boston tonight, always liked Redden just made too much money.

[SLY WILLIAMS]

I like and respect Wade so I'm happy for him also.
