This series is now 3-1, Washington, and the Rangers are facing elimination tonight.
Remember when we said to not push the panic button earlier this year? Well now may be the perfect time to do that.
If the Rangers weren’t desperate in Game Four, they definitely should be in Game Five. This is an absolute must win and if the Rangers can’t muster the energy to pick up their game tonight, they’re out of the Playoffs, plain and simple.
Offense is still way under par. If the Rangers’ desperation to win Game Five makes any impact on their play tonight, it has to be in better offense.
