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

[GoAwayPanarin]

I do understand the emphasis though. Game 3 of a 2-0 series is about as high stakes as it gets for an early/non elimination game.

The difference between 3-0 and 2-1 is so enormous.

This is true.

That said, I'm not overly worried even if they lose this one. If they lose the next 2 we're in trouble.

Duuuuuudes sitting at work nervous AF

 

[Ginger Papa]

Today, the Rangers



Will distract Vasilevsky effectively

Catch Tampa off guard

Expose them repeatedgy

Forcing their shooters to miss

End their behind the scenes shenanigans

Sink their will to win

And eat them alive

To wipe that smug smile off their fans faces

ps. Another great GDT @Leonardo87

 

[Savant]

Need one win in Tampa

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Mess’s suit game is strong today.

 

[BBKers]

He’s retired from touring?!

Yes. Unfortunately

I’m on my second while burping new born Henrik

Liter number 4 incoming (albeit with backup).- beat that Bitches

 

[Megustaelhockey]

A little too cocky for my taste, but I still stopped to take a pic.

I'd like it more if it were Pens fans.

Would also be more accurate.

Well I’m on pint #4 I’ve had 2 Cigar City Maduro brown ales at 5.5% and 2 Nice Choupf Belgian winters 10.4%. I’ll get there!

They need a split in Tampa. You don't want them to get back in the series.

Rangers have yet to win a non elimination road game.

 

[Squantosawuss]

I expect Tampa to come out today with great vengeance and furious anger.

Stand tall in the face of it Rangers and take a stranglehold on the series.

In the first stoppage one of the Rangers needs to take Vasi's water bottle and request some of his tasty beverage.

So I’m assuming Point will play … Cooper playing mind games …

Won’t work

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Don't know why I'm more nervous for this one than I was for the first 2.

 

[cheech70]

Point on 1.5 legs bring him on...series is over

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

McD always seemed banged up in the playoffs when he was with us. He is very chippy this series. I hope someone catches up to him this game He needs to be paid back some for some borderline stuff.

 

[LokiDog]

Kind of enjoyed being able to hold his bottle, hold my can and take this pic. Prepping for battle together.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Need to win one of these two games to keep them on the floor.

So... question for a friend. When is too early to crack open a beer today?

Full disclosure: I'm watching my 5 year old twin boys and my 3 year old twin girls while my wife works all day. I obviously don't have time for friends today so I'm asking for myself.

I started. But I drank as early as 7am for team USA Winter Olympics in sochi. Had so many Rangers.

 

[BlueShirtGal]

I actually made myself a tall drink. Don't drink much any more...not b/c I don't like to, but the after affects are worse at my age. Cheers and LGR!

He was always sneaky dirty when he was with us, we just didnt notice it but he was constantly cross checking guys. I don't know how he hasnt had to fight over his career.

Impressive for a newbie. Lol. I haven't had much from cigar city. Typically can only find jai alai up here. Did find the white oak version once which I liked better.

Drop the puuuuck

Yeah you overlook things when guys are wearing your jersey. His antics have bothered me more than any bolt this series. We have tried to hit him but he us so agile he just spins away from hits.
