GDT: ECF - Game 1 - New York Rangers vs Tampa Bay Lightning - 8pm EST, ESPN - Series (0-0)

[Chalfdiggity3]

Totally different composition. For starters, we have competent (even godlike) goaltending, and our offense isn’t exactly terrible either. Our power play has also been far more impressive (during the postseason) than Florida’s. I think we’re gonna be a substantial challenge for Tampa.

Dont forget defense and the make up of our team isnt a bunch of scorers, we can handle what if Tampa wants to get physical.

Lightning in Westchester

What?! They're supposed to be at the Garden LOL

 

[Machinehead]

Carolina talking about a storm coming to New York.

At least when the Lightning show up it actually f***ing rains.

Also a good point. My primary concerns are discipline / stupid penalties, running into a hot goalie, and giving up odd-man rushes.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

It’s a thunderstorm out side in NYC. I ain’t afraid of lightning though.

Time to dethrone the champs!

[MysticLeviathan]

[Boris Zubov]

Yay, McDonagh is back

 

[Fataldogg]

Predicting a 3-2 win right now. Let's go! Panarin is going to need to be a factor 5v5 for them to win.

"Youngest team left in the playoffs"

Weren't we the youngest team in the playoffs to begin with?

 

[ajdj10]

Don't take any stupid penalties.
Now lets win this shit!

THey have a discipline problem too. Took plenty of penalties against florida and toronto

 

[Row I Goon]

I'm really worried we get swept. talk some sense into me.

It's in the team's hands now - even if we get swept the season is still firmly in the "+" column for me as I wouldn't have dreamt we'd get this far.

 

[Fataldogg]

0.75 and .981... pretty massive numbers. This is going to be a great showdown in net.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

I love this guy... so much SWAGGER!!!

 

[NYRKindms]

OK Trouba, time to change another series

 

[mike14]

Cannot believe we made the ECF
Certainly enjoyed the ride so far

Yes.

 

[nyrage]

Well they keep repeating that we have no experience...I guess other than surviving being on the brink of elimination 5 times and winning two game sevens.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

So we have a new John Amirante now.

 

[Cmox]

Lets go! I love you .

 

[Chalfdiggity3]
