GDT: ECF - Game 3 - New York Rangers @ Tampa Bay Lightning - 3pm EST, ESPN - Series (NYR 2-0)

[Go Rangers]

Steve: "Tampa's best period in the series"...

Chelios: "No, lol"
Messier: "The Rangers were still better"

Steve: *looks back at camera* "...there was a power play..."

Chelios still won’t look at messier.

Storm weathered. Now kill them.

Feeling really good about 0-0 after one. Expected 1st period to be Tampa’s best push. We’ve got these boys on the ropes. Let’s go.

 

[ArPanet]

So can anyone tell why the faceoff was outside the tampa zone after Vas covered it?

after whistle scrum our D came down to engage that moves the faceoff out of the zone

 

[AlternateSideParking]

really? besides that terrible pass on the 2 on 1 i thought he was pretty good.

Positioning and reads. He was the cause of the Kucherov breakaway by deciding to rush the puck knowing their best player was coming out the box and the Rangers needed a change. He also had several unforced turnovers. His IQ is too inconsistent. Was very good in Games 1-2 but rough so far

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

TB can’t really roll 4 lines with 11 forwards. They can juggle some lines…

[DialUp]

I didn't think we had a great period. Good news is we have improved as the game goes on for the last few games. Right now it's a goalie's game.

Okay thanks.

 

[common12]

It's gotten to the point where I just don't want that line to give up anything because I don't expect them to produce anything offensively.

I agree with you. Strome isn't noticeable and Panarins bad passes are frustrating.

If Zibs line is held in check by the Cirellii line we need the kid line to step up.

They're 12/6 today.

Boucher: "Momma said the Rangers are the Devil"

Well the Rangers showed me their boobies, and I liked them too…

 

[Overcast]

Gotta head out for my dad's birthday, hopefully can watch at my brother's. LFG boys, feeling good about this game

Thanks didn’t know. I thought I heard/read it was same lineup.

Just because. Shut up or you’ll get a 10 minute misconduct .

 

[Chytilmania]

Gotta head out for my dad's birthday, I will watch at my brother's. LFG boys, feeling good about this game

 

[Synergy27]

Can’t be upset after that period. Even my arch nemesis Ryan Strome made a couple of plays and showed the heart required to go to the net.

Keep pushing.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Tampa leads the NHL in Pee Wee Mighty Ducks net hanger at the far blue line. It's always Kucherov.

Kucherov watched a lot of Pavel Bure videos on YouTube.

"How to be useless unless you're hanging by the blue line for a breakaway pass 101"

because the defensemen came in after the whistle

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I normally don't drink during games but I changed that today for some reason.

This is about to get silly up in here. Last time I got drunk at home during a game I ended up buying the jersey of the next Ranger that scored (It was Panarin, thankfully it wasn't Howden.)

I will do the same thing this game of the guy who gets the winner IF the Rangers win. Unless its Panarin because I don't need 2.

 

[Chytilmania]

Does Chelios know he's on TV speaking into the camera and not having a convo with Levy?

 

[will1066]

Was that him?

Thought it was Panarin. Who ever it was it was a beautiful play and then Trouba happened.

Strome made the chip pass. I swear it was him, but I could be wrong.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

Not sure why Trouba is getting so much hate. He poked a puck away that was gonna lead to a high danger chance. He messed up a 2 on 1. Ah well. I'd prefer he stops goals.
