GDT: ECF - Game 2 - New York Rangers vs Tampa Bay Lightning - 8pm EST, ESPN - Series (NYR 1-0)

[Chytilmania]

Vasilevskiy looks very human in net. Need to capitalize on it and keep pouring it on.

I think their whole team looks human. Besides a soft call on that penalty, the Rangers controlled that entire period.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Miller and Kakko were in the Game Day Media Availability.
So I’m guessing Kaapo is scoring tonight.

Talk about a lucky coincidence!

 

[Atax]

It’s actually my son.

Extend him.

Funny enough that’s probably the only MJ song I hate

Say it ain't so

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Bust line.

 

[Jayan]

Vasilevskiy looks very human in net. Need to capitalize on it and keep pouring it on.

He stopped 6 out of 8, dont be mean.. you know 9 days rest and all..

 

[Cag29]

We look fast and confident.
Motte very fast. Ducks under a lot of hits.

 

[Brother Mouzone]

Tampa needs to change up their style or this will be a short series. They are giving way too much space.

RED:

 

[Atax]

Full 60 minutes. Keep going.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

I still can't believe they called one penalty on that play.

It's hard to believe and why I hate the NHL.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Tampa has absolutely no answer to the kids.

 

[LokiDog]

Extend him.

He’s got an 18 year contract, minimum.

 

[ajdj10]

Motte's bloody amazing on the 4th line.
Don't think there's one shift where I don't notice him.

 

[duhmetreE]

If Perry didn't deflect it, did Igor just whiff?

Did Lindgren deflect another one in?

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Kaapo deserves that goal more than anyone on the roster

 

[Rongomania]

That one was for all you twats who want to trade him.

Kisses from Kakko

 

[hockeyfanplayer]

Shit period for Tampa. They look terrible. Go for the kill in Period 2 with the long change to trap their slow-ass defensemen

The NYR speed and hustle are paying dividends. They are winning most of the corner/behind the net puck battles, which then leads to scoring chances. Gallant has them supremely motivated and playing smart. They just need to keep this up for a full 60 minutes each game and the series is theirs.

 

[Kords]

Hope the refs keep that "slashing" energy in the 2nd when the Bolts come out trying hurt ppl. They won't lose this game without trying to take out one of our guys, I guarantee.

Hope it ends like that Perry hit on Schneider where the old man gets the worst of it.

The Matthews Is My Son guy wants custody of the Kids

 

[DumpnChase12]

I'm sick of hearing about Tampa's 9 day rust !!! The honeymoon is over, just call the damn game !!!

 

[Filip Chytil]

Maroon literally threw a punch and didn't get a penalty lmao

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Kakko has been busting his ass all playoffs man, finally buries another one

 

[jcs0218]

"Or do you, Ho Kogan, kick the doors out? Kick the cockpit door down. Take the two pilots that have already made the sacrifice so that you can face the challenge. Dispose of them, Ho Kogan. Assume the controls, Ho Kogan. SHOVE THAT CONTROL INTO A NOSEDIVE, Ho Kogan! Push yourself to total self-destruction."

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

We look fast and confident.
Motte very fast. Ducks under a lot of hits.

He's quite successful at ducking under hits... it's kind of a high risk for injury play but he seems to know how to make it work

 

[Chytilmania]

You gonna cry Chelios? You look like you’re going to cry. Please don’t cry. You gonna cry? It’s ok. You can cry. Let it out.
