GDT: ECF Game #6 - Rangers in Tampa 8pm ET. Time to Get Engaged & Crash The Party in Tampa

[Chalfdiggity3]

Does Strome come out for this next period?

Im going to go with a No. No way does he finish this game

 

[Go Rangers]

The Rangers look gassed, although part of it is Tampa taking away their bread and butter.

Who’s butter?

 

[hockeyfanplayer]

Nhl is encouraging terrible hockey with all this uncalled interference, way to drag this game back to the shit trap game.

If you looked at our boards last 2 years, I was screaming about this. There is no team, save maybe BOS with Chara, who committed more ridiculous interference plays than TBL. Watch Bogosian protect Sergachev when he has the puck, its so obvious.

 

[Cmox]

Poll time:

What's dumber:

A) Scratching Kakko for Hunt when we need MORE offense and goals; or


B) Changing up every line except our worst one in this playoffs: Panarin-Strome-Copp

Yes

 

[carlsection404]

strome is a loser

 

[Atax]

Chelios is drunk

 

[DanielBrassard]

Sounds like he's been watching too many films of Barzal. How about both teams trade both players to say, Seattle for their next 4 #1 picks?

I wish the Rangers had Barzal, would be nice to have a center who can skate like the wind and hold onto pucks even if it's for too long sometimes lol.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Not sure what Vatrano has done lately to warrant still being on the first line while Kakko is in the press box.

I’d argue Vatrano struggled the most out of our forwards outside of Rooney and Reaves. And yet not only is he still in the lineup, he’s on line one.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Who’s butter?

Kakko

 

[FoxyClean]

Can we scrap the ESPN intermission show entirely and just watch that NHL.TV screen of guys scraping the ice for 20 minutes?

 

[GENESISPuck94]

The League needs to eliminate the trap or call the interference.

pick one

How though?

Only way to do it is remove the neutral zone. Get rid of the blue lines. And then the NHL is only one step away from being roller hockey by making it 4 v 4.

 

[Rangers2319]

Any way to turn off the auto refresh in your profile settings?

 

[Rongomania]

I feel like how the dude felt after Jackie Treehorn roofied him

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The Lightning looked exactly like this last game in the first period and you didn't hear the entire intermission about how poorly they looked.

 

[Machinehead]

It's win or go home.

Teams run by functioning adults win and develop at the same time. That's why Tampa lost an entire line and they're still here.

 

[TankLarkin]

Why the f*** is Strome playing. You can tell he’s hurt. No forecheck, no effort, no physical play.

Rather have 76 in there for goddsake

 

[Atax]

I'm not sure I want them to resign Copp if he's just going to be Panarin's Strome part 2.

 

[carlsection404]

strome lied to the coach he's a punk

 

[ecemleafs]

Not sure what Vatrano has done lately to warrant still being on the first line while Kakko is in the press box.

I’d argue Vatrano struggled the most out of our forwards outside of Rooney and Reaves. And yet not only is he still in the lineup, he’s on line one.

I can at least accept that vatrano at any time can beat a goalie clean with his shot. Rooney or hunt playing over kakko is mind boggling.

 

[NYblades]

The League needs to eliminate the trap or call the interference.

pick one

It seems TB gets a pass with the refs because they're the defending champs.

 

[Cag29]

Imagine watching the last game and coming to to the conclusion that Rooney should play.

He’s Tanner Glads with out the physicality.

Who else do we have to put in there that is a center?

 

[huerter]

Teams run by functioning adults win and develop at the same time. That's why Tampa lost an entire line and they're still here.

That hot shot prospect Corey Perry.

 

[PalmCoastRanger]

One saving grace, tuned in late so I have the necessary reserves to sit throug the whole game. Though I'm not sure if I have enough alcohol.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Goodrow laughed in Kaplan's face when she asked what containing shots looks like.

 

[TankLarkin]

Unless Copp has a broken leg do not resign.
