gg should be shitting all over them during the tv timeout. this is totally unacceptable

 

[savebyrichter94]

They need to reign it in, too much chasing and reaching, stay within our structure

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Our second period strategy.... Igor make saves

 

[Ginger Papa]

Penguins have adjusted this Period while your Rangers have not.

I have faith in Coach Gallant to counter Sullivan & get the momentum back


Penguins might think they’re getting close, but I think they….

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Are Panarin, Zibbs, and Kreider playing, or are we resting them?

 

[LokiDog]

yeah physical play is nice but how about managing the f***ing puck?

We stopped doing the latter when we stopped dictating the former. Game may still be physical but we went from proactively aggressive and dictating play to be reactive and passive.

 

[SRHRangers]

If Crosby takes another cheap wack at another back of the knee after the whistle, I hope someone ends him and his concussion history

 

[BlueShirtGal]

My grade for this period. In other words eff this. Let's Go!

 

[LokiDog]

It's B.

I really hoped so.

 

[DialUp]

We are seeing why analytical projections favored Pittsburgh. We should still win, but they shoot, and shoot and shoot, have decent goaltending, and have 3 legends. Adversity is good for our group though.

Who would have thought game 1 Schneider chytil and lafreniere better than trouba zibby and CK

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Standard 2nd period lull here. Survival time. We know they’ll come out flying in the 3rd.

 

[LORDE]

There's something about going in the other direction with this team. Second periods are always awful

Debbies game comes to mind. 1st period, best ever. 2-3rd worst ever

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Two teams on the ice, this was going to happen. Come out of the 2nd period with the lead and push the pace in the 3rd.

 

[DuneGoon84]

We are letting a slow ass team skate circles. Need to go back to hit and keep skating. They will cough up pucks

 

[BroadwayBlues]

We've watched this team all season. Second periods aren't the best.

 

[aufheben]

This happens way too frequently with this squad, they just do a 180 mid game.

This happens almost every time one team dominates the first period.

 

[mrmovies779]

It seems some of you didn't expect a pushback from the Pens

Pushback is 1 thing..this is basically a rape

 

[CasusBelli]

Without Igor, we’re down 7-2.

 

[TGWL]

Crowd is dead now and not helping them. Make some f***ing noise you turds.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Need more from our first line.

 

[RangerLifer]

Rangers stink in the 2nd period but Igor will bail them out

I hate depending on the goaltender. It's a recipe for disaster. I don't care how great that goaltender may be.

 

[Cmox]

Head out of ass now

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Kreider and Zibanejadneed to start playing with more urgency.
