We all knew the narratives heading into this series. We all knew that the Flyers surged at the end of the season. But on paper, this series should not have gone seven games. But that’s why they play the games, and now it’s one game. The previous six don’t matter.

The Rangers need their big guns to play like their big guns. Rick Nash needs to be a force. Martin St. Louis needs to channel his play from the first five games, same with Derek Stepan. Benoit Pouliot really needs to stop taking stupid penalties. Henrik Lundqvist needs to make big saves.
