I'm a Ranger fan for 40 years....Began listening to games on the radio at my dad's workbench when I was 10. Marv Alpert was the play by play man back then. Have had a lot of heartache with this team. I, unfortunately gave up my season's tickets out of sheer frustration the year before they "Raised the Cup"!
So this year, like many fans I thought we had a great chance to win it all. Yes, we were the best team during the regular season, but the playoffs are all about being the " hot team" at the right time.
So far in the "Devil Series ", the Rangers have been thoroughly outplayed in almost every game . You can honestly attribute their 2 wins solely to the "super-human efforts " of Lundquist who has carried them through the post-season. The Devils, as you may recall have a pretty good goaltender themselves with Marty Brodeur in the nets.
So here's the bottom line. The Rangers are lucky to be down only 3-2 . It should be over now! They have to play the next game in Newark like it's a game 7 ..Just one game! Then hey, anything can happen in a game 7 at the Garden. Not going to be easy.
Remember, it aint over til the fat lady sings.
