FALSE HOPE ALERT: Time to bust out the Stanley Cup and the champagne glasses, because after tonight, it felt like the Rangers are going to win the Cup.

Once the second period began, it seemed like something was different. As the game progressed, the Rangers tightened up and began to take control of the tempo.
