The "Let's Go Lightning" chant from the Ranger faithful at the Garden said it all. The Rangers did what they were supposed to do today, and now it rests in the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning, who must defeat the Carolina Hurricanes tonight for the Rangers to punch their ticket for the 2011 NHL Playoffs.
Led by Chris Drury, who scored an emotional first goal of the season on his first shift back since suffering a knee injury, the Rangers defeated the New Jersey Devils 5-2 today at Madison Square Garden.
Ryan McDonagh scored the first goal of his NHL career, and Brandon Prust, Wojtek Wolski, and Vinny Prospal added goals for the Blueshirts.
Henrik Lundqvist made 24 saves for the Rangers, who finished with 93 points. In about seven hours, we'll know if it was enough.
So say a prayer for the Lightning, and if the hockey gods shine upon us, tomorrow morning it will still be hockey season.
The game thread for tonight's game will go up at 6:45.

Dear Chris.....
I hereby publicly apologize for all of the negative things I’ve said about you this season.
I don’t promise that I won’t say the same in the future – but you’ve proven me wrong, and I’m admitting it.
May you have the chance to bury a few of those clutch goals during the upcoming playoffs.
As I’m posting this – TB 2 – CAR 0 in the 1st period. LET’S GO BOLTS !
Wishful thinking eh Jim?!
Henrik Lundqvist made 24 saves for the Rangers, who finished with 94 points.
In the Thrashers postgame thread, I called Carolina beating Atlanta, us winning today and Carolina losing to the Bolts. So all credit where credit is due when this happens. If it doesn’t, forget I said anything.
Hey before the puck dropped I told my girl watch Mcdiesel is gonna get his first today..and sure enough he did and was the game winner! I want my props too lol

Tonight I went to outback steakhouse
Before i left the house, I thought I was going to order the blooming onion and the ny strip. Well i ordered both AND a cup of the potato soup. So I want my props too.
And it doesn’t end there…
the hostess gave me a high five after she saw my ranger hat. The stars are aligned. Bolts must win.
Calmer than you are.
I have a feeling the next family dinner for the Staal’s will be a little awkward.

should have taken care of business vs. the islanders and thrashers
then there wouldn’t be a need for scoreboard watching tonight

But that won’t happen – St. Louis and LeCavalier will give their old coach a boost. Then we’ll eliminate them in the second round.

Am told only regular not playing tonight for Tampa is Malone. They’ve held him out of back-to-backs since he’s returned

44 wins, 93 points, +35 goal differential, only 198 GA… pretty damned good numbers for a team that may miss the playoffs…
What a win
Great game now Let’s Go Lightning! Everyone go to nhl.com and watch kovy’s second goal. Doc’s voice squeaks so bad lmao
sad news from the Lightning camp…
http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=361544
hopefully, and i mean please please please please please … they pull out a win for their old coach, Torts, and their present assistant. LETS GO LIGHTNING!!!!!!!!!!
From Lightning on Twitter:
“Lightning will dress most regulars tonight against Carolina. Hedman will return from his lower body injury. Mike Smith in net. Malone out.”
Great win, now set for a stressful night.
I hate the guy at the party that plays with his phone every 30 seconds but tonight I will be THAT guy.

In Lou We Trust WOW! Quick glanced over there and wow the rangers success this season must be getting to the Devils fans because they were reeling off comments like “Rangers fans (most of them, at least) are an obnoxious and ignorant bunch of hockey fans.” and short of having anything substantial or relevant they ripped on Hank for not reaching the third round of the playoffs YET.

i d’ont wanna break any hopes here ,but i d’ont remember this team (in 45 years) having some kind of luck in that kind of situation…..i’am afraid the curse will go on and on and on……..remember that game in long island at the beginning of the season when we were leading with 2mnts to go,then the fu…..g refs gave a 5 on 3 to the isles with that fantom penalty to cally?…………may the league give us back those 2 points stolen by the refs?

and they have more in this category

lecavlier got hurt…probably wont see much, if any, more of him in this game

missed 1 hell of a game.
im sure you can find them online already.
I'm still pissed the Avalanche let him go, but super happy to see him in a Rangers uni.

I don’t care about any of that, but after reading this last comment, i felt obligated to post something.
I’m all for vulgarities. If it is on the ice, it will be on the web too. But you know… I don’t want a description of anyone’s excrement.

Any team that is up 3 goals will give up more shots, unless they are the rangers feasting on a bottom dweller

Most points in an NHL season by a non-playoff team.
2006-2007 Colorado Avalanche (95 points)
I feel no pity, they won two cups.
by Gabby the Gutless Sniper on Apr 9, 2011 8:26 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
Yes, yes we did.
And now we’re the second worst team in the NHL.
"That's a white myth, Ken. Like Larry Bird or Colorado."
And further away from the playoffs after that trade. Any truth Stastny is getting moved in offseason to pay Duchene?
by Gabby the Gutless Sniper on Apr 9, 2011 8:33 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
God I hope not.
But given the complete ineptitude of our General Manger and team prez I wouldn’t be surprised.
It would piss us all off tremendously though. Not only did Stastny play at the University of Denver, he’s really the best choice to be out next captain, especially with Foote hangin’ up the skates.
"That's a white myth, Ken. Like Larry Bird or Colorado."
5-3
Boltz kill off this and it might be the death knell for calolina

Tampa is a bad team to fall behind to..
They have one of the best transition games (especially Stamkos line). Carolina will press and may put some more on the board but TBL will eventually counter and lay the knockout punch.
