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

We didn’t score but we forced them to skate during the period of the long change, with them being the older team hopefully it pays dividends and we keep on it

 

[Richard Banger]

Only way we win this game is if we score early in the third

 

[Cmox]

Reminds me of the Kreider interview the other day. “Sorry … I’m out of cliches.”

Krieder is exhausted from answering the same stupid questions just re worded from different people. Hes too smart for this.

[RangerLifer]

Copp is having a really rough game

He'll make up for it.

 

[Fitzy]

Reminds me of game 1 against Carolina insofar as being unable to put the game fully to bed when the play is in our favor.

Hopefully Tampa doesn't have any special drive in the third period.

 

[Filip Chytil]

I need a walk. This game is making me nervous

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Guys can we calm down. I just sat and watched our boys dominate a period against the bolts, played smart defensively while limiting chances, getting offensive chances of our own. Being up 2-1 isnt a fluke. Come out and continue the pressure and defensive structure.

I come back and read this board and its like the sky is falling from half of you.

 

[Chytilmania]

I didn't think Tampa looked that good that period.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Probably the best period without actually scoring I've ever seen from this team until the last 5-6 minutes.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Feels like a period they will regret not finishing it, but they have been great tonight, do it for another 20.

I want Panarin micd up

 

[Crease]

Team is pretty much firing on all cylinders. Only thing that could stand to improve is the second line at even strength.

 

[LORDE]

Reminds me of game 1 against Carolina insofar as being unable to put the game fully to bed when the play is in our favor.

Hopefully Tampa doesn't have any special drive in the third period.

Completely agree.

Letting good teams, or 2 time reigning Stanley Cup champions hang around, is a VERY BAD idea

 

[turcotte8]

Should have scored 2 or 3 that period. It's gonna come back to bite us.

 

[Cmox]

Im concered they're talking the Rangers up too much. What they do a twitter survey? I want the hate, I thrive on the hate as a fan.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Dominating a period but not scoring and now only a one goal lead heading into the third, this isn’t good. I really hope it doesn’t come back to bite us.

Really need an early goal to get a little breathing room.

not great until the last like 7 munutes or so. then towards the last 4 or 5 minutes they totally dominated.

It really feels that way. We know it all too well; when your goalie is making the saves to keep you in it, you are still IN it, and maybe even winning the game though the score doesn't say it quite yet.

Must get the next goal.

 

[Crease]

Turtle or pedal to the metal?

 

[Chytilmania]

Completely agree.

Them going 11/7 is a very bad idea.

 

[Cmox]

Stammer is already making excuses.

Unless Igor can stonewall TB for another 20, which is very possible. Would love another goal, but we'll see what happens
