GDT: ECF - Game 4 - New York Rangers @ Tampa Bay Lightning - 8pm EST, ESPN - Series (NYR 2-1)

[I Eat Crow]

Nothing feels high danger for Vasi

Everything's been from the outside tonight. He could pitch an umbrella and read a book in the crease tonight and the score would still be the game.

 

[CasusBelli]

Tampa is trapping

I’d say that shows they fear our offense. But, given their defensive core and goaltending, I think we’re the ones who should fear that strategy. All it takes is a giveaway to Kuch or Stammer for a breakaway or odd-man rush.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Trouba wearing a blueshirt alright

Ohh just like last game.

 

[Jauffre]

Nothing feels high danger for Vasi

Exactly, no breakdowns, no second, third chances.. everything is predictable and there's no chaos around him

 

[duhmetreE]

Tampa is content with 1 goal.

That could come back to bite them

 

[Rangers in 7]

Just load of up the first line and play 3 lines. Rotate the 4th with a combo of Copp, vatrano and goodrow

 

[Fatsam98]

This is a weird game. Someone needs to step the hell up, it's there for the taking

 

[Hire Sather]

Thanks again Em

 

[DialUp]

No matter what happens, Ill start REALLY worrying if we go down 3-2 in the series

 

[Crease]

Looks like Gallant swapped Zibanejad and Copp.

 

[Raspewtin]

Too early to have both D pinching

wasn't asking for a Trouba pinch, just to get it deep. He easily could have.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Overdo for a series changing Trouba hit

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Wanna guess which line will get the least ice time?

Lol, I don't have to guess silly..

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Vatrano is legitimately horrible. I have no idea why he's not the one being dropped.

I don't understand this Copp line. Copp with one leg and Goodrow barely has a pulse. Kreider can't skate enough to cover for them. It's just a bad line.

I think the thought was to free up Kreider but that line ain't cutting it, drop Goodrow down and add motte

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Copp enters the zone with speed on a defenseman back on his heels and then he STOPS so he can look behind himself to pass to someone not even open.

OMG just take it to the net with speed.

Stop with the unselfish bull. SHOOT THE PUCK.

 

[I Eat Crow]

I’d say that shows they fear our offense. But, given their defensive core and goaltending, I think we’re the ones who should fear that strategy. All it takes is a giveaway to Kuch or Stammer for a breakaway or odd-man rush.

That's exactly been their MO tonight. And it's working. Any surprise that the only line that can cycle is looking the best tonight in the kids line?

 

[Hire Sather]

ok

 

[Raspewtin]

uh okay?

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Hell yeah, Frank!!

 

[EdJovanovski]

Not bad Vatrano

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Wow, Vatrano. My goodness.

 

[bl02]

At least Vatrano gives a shit

 

[Kords]

Atta boy Frankie

 

[DialUp]

Lol wut why

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

YES FRANKIE YES!!!!!!!
