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

[MillerTime79]

What does this little prick Levy have against the Rangers? The entire playoffs - coming in from intermission or post game, his first comment is how well the Canes/Lightning/etc.. have played and how unlucky they are.

 

[CLW]

what happened to strome?////////////////////////////////////////

cross checked in the back from miles behind the play hit a nerve

 

[Harbour Dog]

That Fox eye-tracker was pretty cool. Wouldn't mind seeing that more often.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Would have liked a replay on the Trouba penalty. Looked like a hit not a hold.

Game will end 3-2, not sure what team. Rangers have been getting the better chances and will get at least one more odd man rush. But when team's play desperate against us we usually give up a goal.

It was a legitimate interference call because he dropped his stick for no f***ing reason.

Anyone complaining needs to stop. Lets not become Penguins fans.

 

[Chytilmania]

Give credit to the refs for not falling for the Stamkos bait.

Miller is one nasty dude to play againat. That 3 on 3 dear lord, he got over aggressive, and still erased the error and flipped it the other way. Literally took a dudes life later in the period, keep you head up! Not idea how Cooper can complain about that, clean as hell.

I think Cooper was complaining about Killorn getting hit then sliding into the other 3 guys.

 

[Raspewtin]

the first line is seriously making it hard on us. I've said it a million times but they are not winning any battles at all. just really ugly

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

That's what I would do but Gallant just woke up one day in April and went "f*** Dryden Hunt"

Which is weird cause he LOVED Hunt when the rest of us wanted a kid to get those line 2 minutes.

 

[Machinehead]

Watched the Kucherov goal again.

You guys are insane.

Igor wasn't stopping that if Kucherov had a beach ball and Igor had a gun.

 

[Synergy27]

Cheli making a great point here. Goodrow almost buried that short handed two on one, but Cirelli played it terribly and that’s a gimme for Key if Goodrow has his head up.

Hope they don’t break up the kid line to compensate for Strome being out. I also hope I don’t end up looking like a jerk for bagging on Strome so hard, but that second line looked better in the small sample with him out.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Boucher's Goalie Union membership being put to the test. Does he side against the Rangers or against goalies.

 

[duhmetreE]

I feel like the kids get a scoring chance or near connection every shift

 

[KOVALEV022473]

It was a legitimate interference call because he dropped his stick for no f***ing reason.

You’re allowed to play the body on a puck carrier, with or without a stick.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Did they show that on ESPN?

They did on Sportsnet.

Really impressive

I'm watching Sportsnet. Got nhllive, so it's an easy choice between that and ESPN!

Hasn't Levy picked the Rangers to win every series? Pretty sure he's a Rangers fan so maybe he's overcompensating or was threatened by ESPN if he's slanted Rangers he's out.

 

[Raspewtin]

Cheli making a great point here. Goodrow almost buried that short handed two on one, but Cirelli played it terribly and that’s a gimme for Key if Goodrow has his head up.

they looked just as good with him IMO. this is Strome's best game in a while.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

If Strome is out game 4, I'd like Copp centering Panarin and Hunt. Keep the other lines intact.

Kreider - Zibanejad - Vatrano
Panarin - Copp - Hunt
Lafreniere - Chytil - Kakko
Motte - Goodrow - Reaves

 

[nevesis]

it was a penalty because he used his free hand to initiate with Palat. he grabbed him and then hit him. it's not interference but it was a penalty.

Which angle/replay did you see? The ESPN feed didn’t show it at all.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

The Strome injury is one of the oddest things.

Hit in the back, hurt the leg... sciatica? I sure hope not since that's f***ing brutal pain

That looked to be his L5/S1 (same exact area where I had back surgery at on 5/2). Looked to me to be right around that area on the lower back. Could be L4/L5 as well. So if that is the case, probably would be sciatica of some sort. Probably severe acute sciatica. If that's the case, he probably has some stenosis already and some back weakness from playing for so long.

Put it this way. I was bedridden for 10 weeks since I literally couldn't sit down. I could only stand (for just a bit) or lay down. Worst pain I've ever had in my life and I was in tears at times (the pain was that bad and I am not exactly someone who can't handle a bit of pain).

 

[Machinehead]

You’re allowed to play the body on a puck carrier, with or without a stick.

He didn't play the body. He took his free hand and grabbed the guy because he was beat.

It was the most blatant penalty in the world and Trouba is a moron.

 

[Doctyl]

Tampa and scoring on bullshit lifeline penalties. Name a more iconic duo

 

[Raspewtin]

Which angle/replay did you see? The ESPN feed didn’t show it at all.

Sportsnet. Trouba engaged with Palat by reaching with his hand for Palat's stick and then hitting him. On replay it was super blatant.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Ferraro: “Hagel was nowhere near the puck when Miller hit him”

As the puck is literally between his skates.

 

[duhmetreE]

If Strome is out game 4, I'd like Copp centering Panarin and Hunt. Keep the other lines intact.

Kreider - Zibanejad - Vatrano
Panarin - Copp - Hunt
Lafreniere - Chytil - Kakko
Motte - Goodrow - Reaves

we all know it's not happeening. Back to Rooney with Goodrow on that wing.

I'd prefer Brodz over Rooney but maybe Rooney wont be so bad against a slower team

 

[Siddi]

Alright! Time for a head count. Where are all the bozoz saying that this team wont win in the playoffs with Mika?

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Did they ever show a replay of the Trouba penalty that led to the Tampa goal? Seemed like basically nothing to me in live time.
