Live From MSG- The Waiting Game
Posted by: Ben Wright on April 18, 2007 at 9:13PM EST

I just talked to Randy, a Rangers season ticket holder who was in Atlanta for Game One last week. We chatted a bit and then I had to come back to my seat. I told him I'd see him on Sunday when we're back for Game Six, so we better come away from this with a win.

I feel good about this period, and if we win this game we're winning on Friday.

I think the sheer embarrassment of last night's debacle is a huge motivating force for this team.

And now we're waiting.... and waiting.... and waiting... and they're not showing a replay... and we're waiting... and it's a goal. They finally showed it on the big screen once the call was made and it looked in to me. That's a heartbreaker folks.

The Thrashers are trailing for the first time this game. Time for a gut check.

Ben... Shhhh. Let's not count our eggs before they hatch. We are actually looking like we are back in our game.

Talk about a bad call! It's really sad that we're up that high only to have one of the worst calls made. And now it's 5 on 3. Now, I'm scared.

Ben, what is that chant the the Rangers fans sing after scoring a goal? It sounds cool on TV

5 on 3. Doh! At least we made it through without allowing a goal.

That was NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT a goal! Not a goal! There was NO white between the puck and red line!

What game were you watching? There was clearly plenty of white space between the puck and goal line. Given that the camera was BEHIND the goal line a bit, that only means that the puck was even deeper in the net than the replay actually shows.

Heartbreaking, yes, but it was a goal. It wasn't even that close a call.

He knows that was a goal but he is in self-denial.
