So three players in 10 games have been knocked silly on checks from opponents, legal or otherwise, and yet here are the Rangers on the brink of Round 2 elimination tonight at the Garden, content to turn the other cheek on their way to a Boston sweep.
Enough, already, with...

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Darroll Powe compared the task ahead of the New York Rangers to climbing a mountain.With his team facing a 3-0 deficit against the Bruins in the Eastern Conference semifinals, Powe stressed the importance of maintaining a narrow focus. While many Rangers tossed around “one game at a time” cliches yesterday, Powe’s first-hand experience lends credibility to the mountain m
Darroll Powe "When you’re going to climb a mountain, you’re not going to sit at the bottom and just look at the top and be like, ‘How am I going to do this?’ You’re going to look at the five or six feet above you and go at that first. You can’t just go at it and look ahead. You have to focus on what’s right in front of you or else you’ll never get to where you have to go."
Mats Zuccarello "We have to win one game now, Then we have to go back to Boston and put some pressure on them there and anything can happen. We just have to focus on this (next) game, win that one and then we’ll go from there."

NEW YORK — The Bruins propped up an accommodating collection of players to speak with the media following yesterday’s optional skate at Madison Square Garden, but it was a leftover quote from late Tuesday night, delivered by Game 3 hero Johnny Boychuk, that says it all.
Johnny Boychuk "Hopefully we learned our lesson, That fourth game is going to be the toughest one. Out of any team in the NHL, we should know that the best."
Shawn Thornton "But the fourth one is the tough one, (Game 3) could have gone either way."

New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist knew he needed to be better for game 3 than he was in game 2 for his team to have any chance to get back into this Eastern Conference Semifinal against the Boston Bruins. Despite a sore shoulder he was, turning in a 32-save performance that gave his team [...]

Anton Stralman may not appear to be a crucial part of the Rangers defense, but his likely absence in Thursday's Game 4 will certainly be felt.
Ryan McDonagh "He's such a mobile skater and that's huge as a defenseman, He's been exceptional in the playoffs and we hope he's back."
john tortorella "It comes down to, listen, we're 0-3. There's no sense of feeling pressure, Players that get to play tomorrow, and play more minutes than maybe they're used to, grab a hold of it. Grab a hold of it and let it happen. If you lose, you're done. So that's what I'm hoping for and what I believe we'll get from some of our guys."

Darroll Powe has been at the base of this mountain before -- and climbed it.
claude julien "In the Toronto series, I didn't think our team was in the zone the way it is right now, so I anticipate, knowing my team, that we're going to come out the same way next game and certainly not be the Jekyll-and-Hyde team we talked about in the first round."
Darroll Powe "It was a pretty special feeling, for sure,"

NEW YORK — The Boston Bruins are on the brink of the Eastern Conference finals, and they got there on the backs of their suddenly offensive defensemen and a potent fourth line of forwards.They have outclassed the New York Rangers all over the ice in surging to a 3-0 lead in a series that could be over Thursday.If the Bruins start firing on all cylinders, the Rangers will have little hope of even
Ryan Callahan "We're not looking at odds or anything like that, We're looking at one game at home, and we'll try to bring this thing back to Boston. That's the only way we can look at it, to try to win one game in our building."
Darroll Powe "Obviously, we can't win four games (Thursday) night. We have to focus on just the task at hand, which is coming out strong on our first shift, We go shift by shift, we just chip away. You've got to try to win every shift. That's how we're going to get back in the series."

Darroll Powe still might not be able to help the Rangers on the ice as he inches closer to returning from his second concussion of the season, but the injured forward does have firsthand knowledge of the daunting task the Blueshirts are facing — an 0-3 hole against Boston.

It was hardly earth-shattering stuff, nothing like saying a player “stinks” on the power play, for instance, but John Tortorella sure had it right before the playoffs started when the Rangers’ coach talked about legacies being made in the postseason and not in the regular-season.
Ten games into the playoffs...
Ryan Callahan "They grabbed the momentum in the middle of the second and we never got it back, I don’t think we handled their surge correctly."

Henrik Lundqvist’s anguish Tuesday night stemmed from a cruel twist of fate: that this 2-1 defeat to the Boston Bruins in Game 3 hurt so badly primarily due to his own excellence. The Rangers should have trailed at the first intermission by one, two or even three goals.
Henrik Lundqvist "It’s going to be a tough night,"
Henrik Lundqvist "That was the problem, I didn’t see it."

The Rangers defense is running on empty. Anton Stralman became the latest of the battered Blueshirts on Tuesday during a 2-1 loss to the Boston Bruins in Game 3 the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Henrik Lundqvist "I didn’t see it. I got hit in the head and it went up and nobody saw it, At some point you’re going to need some puck luck to win games. It’s that close. Obviously you can’t see all of the bounces, but from where I’m standing, every game they have been getting the bounces. . . . I’m not going to blame it all on lucky bounces, but you need (them), it’s as simple as that. And today they got it again."

NEW YORK — Rangers coach John Tortorella didn’t see any reason to speak to defenseman Dan Girardi after Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.Girardi had an uncharacteristically rough game, as he was on the ice for all five of the Bruins’ goals in a 5-2 loss Sunday. Heading into last night’s Game 3 at Madison Square Garden, Tortorella had no concerns about Girardi.“I haven’t even
john tortorella "I haven’t even talked to him, He’ll be fine. He’ll play his best game."
john tortorella "The thing that surprises me a little bit is we made some mistakes that we very rarely do on simple coverages, The third and fourth goals are simple coverages and we beat ourselves. I’m not disrespecting Boston by any means, but we hurt ourselves in our play away from the puck. I think that’s one of the biggest strengths we have, so I’m very confident we’re going to get back into that and hopefully continue the other part of the game."

After the Rangers slipped to the brink of elimination Tuesday with a 2-1 loss to the Boston Bruins in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at the Garden, a win that gave the Bruins a commanding 3-0 in the series, the talk was about bounces.
john tortorella "At times we struggled to get through and when we got through, we just didn't sustain our forecheck, A team that is rolling their lines like they are, we need to have some time in their end zone. As the game went on, we were there less and less. So it pops up on you."
Henrik Lundqvist "I didn't see it, It went straight up and nobody saw it. Then it just landed on his stick and at some point you're going to need some puck luck, too. It's that close. You can't see all the bounces, but from where I'm standing, every game they've been getting the bounces and our guys are not getting them. I'm not going to blame it all on lucky bounces, but you need it. It's a simple as that and today they got it again."
