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

[Shesterkybomb]

Strome is mighty selfish to play this game injured.

Did he tell you he forced them to play him?

 

[NickyFotiu]

Vas just looks so big back there. TB always gets the huge goalies

 

[Alluckks]

All the uncalled crosschecks and late hits on our guys have taken a toll, they're wiped out

 

[bumrusherer]

Its disappointing but tampa are just superior in every facet.

We new this before the season, we knew this during and we knew this before the series started.

But, we also are further along that anyone expected

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Mika is whiffing a lot tonight.

I'm sorry but aside from the PP, he's been dogshit.

 

[TankLarkin]

11 invisible periods for 20

 

[theFiGS]

So who we trading for this summer boys? Schiefle? Johansen? We need a 2nd line C and someone who can score a goal

 

[PalmCoastRanger]

I'm sorry, but Zib 5-on-5 plays more like a dickhead than Panarin.

Hard to do anything when CK is back to watching his linemates do all the work so he can deflect something in. Mika is also a ton more useful on defense.

 

[DuneGoon84]

Playing strome over kakko is a fireable offense. Strome is a beer leaguer out there. Hes actually embarrassing himself.

Bro, I want Drury to fire his ass next day. What a joke this guy is.

 

[bumrusherer]

All the uncalled crosschecks and late hits on our guys have taken a toll, they're wiped out

Yes. The refs are why we are being schooled

 

[will1066]

Zibanejad went vegan again. Absolutely pathetic performance

Sorry, that's trademarked by Snowblind.

 

[TriFF51]

I mean, Vasi hasn't even been tested yet tonight. Has he? Did I miss anything? We look like trash in the offensive zone.

TB could have 4 or 5 goals right now.

Throw any one of us in net for Tampa and the score is the same.

 

[bl02]

Funny or not funny

Hunt went from not being able to get into the lineup to top 6 sounds about right

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Classic case of no one wants the play on their stick. Panarin curls away from the net instead of trying to drive to the net. Not even trying to make plays, just dumping it with no chance to retrieve the puck.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

This game is just awful. It feels like a loved one is dying from an aggressive form of cancer and you just sit there and watch.

Tad extreme but I get it.

 

[Alluckks]

Strome playing like he ate an entire pizza and family order of breadsticks as a pregame snack

 

[Chytilmania]

If anyone should be gassed it's Igor. He's had a heavy workload the entire playoffs. These guys are young and professional athletes. It's easier said than done, but get some f***ing sleep and man up. No excuses for the lack of effort.

 

[mrmovies779]

Hard to believe we actually had a 2-0 series lead.Cooper has outcoached Gallant so bad!y,I'm ready to throw in the towel for him.Gallant has no idea what to do right now and its showing

 

[hockeyfanplayer]

This will be painted as another master class by vasi. But the truth is…..the rangers have made this easy

Its why I feel Vas is an overrated POS; the garbage passing for ESPN announcers keep extolling how "great" he is - but he is facing hardly any shots/pressure.

To the earlier poster who asked how to fix the league and stop the trap/reduce the interference - call the interferences and widen the rink to Olympic size. Been pushing for that for 20 years, but a league run by a corporate maggot like bettman that is only concerned with money and not quality of play would never acquiesce to such an idea.

 

[Atax]

So who we trading for this summer boys? Schiefle? Johansen? We need a 2nd line C and someone who can score a goal

So they can instantly turn into Panarins pass bot? I'd rather just let Chytil ignore him and shoot it every chance he gets.

 

[Abooch68]

Not the reason why they are losing but is it possible the lightning have only committed one real infraction in almost 3 full games?

 

[Kovalev27]

As good as Shesterkin has been. It’s another really soft goal in a big spot. And he’s been great really has but that puck can’t go in.

Strome is an asshole. He’s got no business being out there and he knew it before the game started. To sit kakko here is a jackass move by gallant to appease this guy. The only good thing about this loss and it will be a loss we are absolutely finished here. Zero fight left, is that Strome won’t play another game in a Rangers sweater.

And Mika looks like covid Mika today whiffing on everything. Just awful performance.

The kids should have been playing 20 mins a night these last few games

 

[Doctyl]

Funny or not funny

It still blows my mind that Hunt is a 2RW or scratch while he would be a perfect 4th liner

 

[Filip Chytil]

I'd be fine with comparing Vasi and Igor in this game if they faced similar shots. But Vasi has barely been tested tonight. Hasn't broken a sweat. Igor let in a bad one, but saved a few others that could've been goals. Oddly enough, that Stamkos goal gave me flashbacks to that Kucherov OT goal that Hank gave up vs TB way back when.

Somehow we're still in this. Score 1 and tie this up!

 

[QJL]

If I was a coach and every player was available to me, I’d roll Laf - Chytil - Kakko at least 7 minutes on the third.
