I know... and I'm as big a supporter of Nash as anyone, but it's 6 goals in 51 playoff games now. He hasn't played well in the playoffs since the Eastern Conference Finals last year.
Let`s Go Rangers!

We have better players then Nash....We don`t need him....Kreider,Stepan,Brussard,Hayes and McDonagh.
Series just started....Rangers always split the 1st 2 games at home in every series.
Rangers are the best road team in the NHL.
Don`t jump ship just because they lost 6-2.
7 game series.

I'm seeming about 50/50 in some shops... some dealing -105/-115 with NYR a slight favorite. Wondering if now is a good time to get involved or maybe wait to see if they drop game 3 in TB. If that ended up happening, I'd play the Rangers very large in game 4 as well as the series price on them.
Doesn't look good fellas. St. Louis needs to be riding the pine. He flubbed a relatively easy one-timer with 2/3rds of the net open and it let to TBs 5th goal. Staal is way wide on a great chance and they come down and score. Uncharacteristic play, seems like the team is becoming unhinged. It's hard to think the solution may be slowing down the game, I don't think the boys can keep up with these high flying, high scoring games. Some weak goals by Hank as well.
Game 4 is a must win, this team isn't coming back from 3-1 against the lightening.
Rangers came back from 3-1 down to the Caps. I year you about these high scoring games, but the Rangers offense has shown signs of life even without Nash and St. Louis contributing. Hank won't give up more than 2 goals in three straight games. I'm grabbing a little Rangers +175 to win the series and will have some action on them in game 4 as well.
I hope we don't get to see if I'm right or wrong but no way this team comes back from a 3-1 deficit to Tampa.
It's been a frustrating series, rangers should not be in this position.
Lightning lead the series 2-1
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Nikita Kucherov scored 3:33 into overtime to give the Tampa Bay Lightning a 6-5 victory over the New York Rangers on Wednesday night in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Ondrej Palat had two goals and an assist, and Tyler Johnson, Steven Stamkos and Alex Killorn each had one goal and an assist for the Lightning. They took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 series that continues Friday night at Amalie Arena.
The winner came about a minute after New York goalie Henrik Lundqvist made a terrific stop on J.T. Brown's breakaway.
New York tied it at 5 on Dan Boyle's rebound with 1:56 left in regulation. Jesper Fast scored twice, and the Rangers also got power-play goals from Derick Brassard and Ryan McDonagh.

The series is tied 2-2
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Henrik Lundqvist stopped 38 shots to rebound from two subpar performances and help the New York Rangers shut down the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-1 on Friday night in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Rick Nash had two goals and an assist, and former Lightning captain Martin St. Louis ended a playoff scoring drought with a third-period goal for New York. The Rangers evened the best-of-7 series 2-2 heading back to New York for Game 5 on Sunday night.
Lundqvist allowed 12 goals in losing Games 2 and 3, but redeemed himself by handling nearly everything the speedy and skilled Lightning threw at him.
Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos scored for the third straight game, briefly making it 1-1 before New York's Chris Kreider and Keith Yandle struck within a 2-minute span for a 3-1 Rangers lead.
