NYR must win this game. If they lose today I give them a 10% chance to win the series. I hate saying that but TB is getting better every game and the longer this goes the more there MIGHT be a chance Point comes back. You absolutely cant play with fire and get into a best of 3 with TB getting their mojo back. NYR has to win tonight...
eh they're not in serious trouble unless they lose game 5 as well.
They're either winning in 5/6 or losing in 6.
I really don't think we'll see Point.

The answer will probably be that both teams took lots of penalties, like last game. Its not that deep.

If TB ties this series you'd be nuts to suggest NYR isnt in trouble after taking advantage of TB playing like crap in game 1 and 2 after the layoff...

Strome skating this AM, Goodrow is not.
Blais skating in a normal jersey, not a non-contact jersey.

Everyone off the ledge yet? The "Trouba sucks" and "series over" takes are out the window?
Tampa are a very good team, but so are the Rangers and Tampa are beatable. Getting a split away from these two would be huge.

Part of me wonders if the Rangers had won game 3, maybe we'd have seen Blais in potentially for a game 4.
Tampa played well Sunday but the Rangers didn't exactly do themselves any favors. There is playing well and losing and there is playing like dog shit and losing, the Rangers on Sunday were the latter which honestly makes that loss easier to take.
That said they need to win tonight regardless of how. Just get it done.

I'm not expecting a rusty Blais to come in and be a gamechanger by any means, but if Goodrow is not good to go, slotting Blais in on that fourth line is so much better than any other option.

For me, I think it's the opposite. If the Rangers played well but Tampa just was a bit better to avoid going down 0-3, then fine. Rangers playing like dog shit when they could have won game 3 stings more.
Ugh. This is why I wish the Rangers had also won game 3. If they did, maybe you can sit Strome as a precaution. As much as some of us may hate on Strome, him being potentially out hurts the depth.

They got low ice time last game because of all the PPs and then Strome's injury throwing a wrench into the lines but yeah Gallant definitely needs to find a way to get that line more ice time, they were legitimately the only line that was doing anything at 5v5 last game. It's one thing to shelter the kids when your vets are killing it and the kids are playing dangerous hockey but the kids have been our best and most consistent 5v5 line.
And on Blais, it's great that he's back and making progress in practice, but I have a really hard time seeing Gallant putting him in the lineup any time soon. He hasn't played a hockey game since November.
if you bought into the layoff garbo, then sure.
I don't. In fact I think the longer this series goes, the better it is for the Rangers.

Hopefully both Strome and Goodrow are ready to go. Hard to take anything Gallant says about injuries at face value.
