Why is it so hard for you to admit the Rangers (who won the presidents trophy this year and made the finals last year) are a good team? Bishop does not suck either he is a very good goaltender who made the Habs look like Edmonton.

I said many times in previous post the rangers are a good resilient team. Shoot, in last post. I gave one of my favorite goalies, Henrik, his due for playing well. He stopped some sweet chances in the 2nd. Anyways, I'll be pulling for the Rangers in the finals if they take the series. What more you want? Want me to slobber all over the Rangers or something? You want me to say? "The Rangers are the best thing since sliced bread and no team deserves to be on the Ice with them". If it's that important to you. Go back and read some of my previous post for some cookies and pats on the backs about your team. I suppose there's a few pats to be found. Now after a hard fought series, I'll give the usual kudos NHL teams give each other (Coolest tradition is sports, the handshake).

I don't watch the Rangers that much and they aren't my team, so I don't know what looks usual for them. But I do know how Lightning usually look though. Bishop is having trouble moving side to side right now (Especially to his left) but who isn't playing with a few aliments at this stage. Its pretty easy to see if you know him but he's a big boy and will do what NHLer's do. He'll play his best when such a huge prize is to be had "The Cup". I do know how good Bishop is and its been kinda cool watching the world finding this out too. They're also learning about the Triplets. That's the life of a smaller market team....lol Both these teams are good and I don't ever recall saying anything negative about the Rangers.(Especially considering they're my 2nd favorite NHL team). More than not, I concern myself with what the Lightning are doing and aren't doing. I talk about the Lightning's good and bad play, but it seems some need stroking of their teams ego after games. I don't care if others do that for the Lightning, but like they say... "Different strokes for different folks"

Sorry for the book.
I'm not a man of short words.... :P

Go Lightning !!!!!
