That period went absolutely as well as it could have. Keep it up.

 

[Circus86]

Refs suck

 

[bobbop]

Love the physical edge. Love getting the pucks deep. The Devils defense doesn’t make the good first pass. Hate the penalties.

Get the third goal and lock this game down.

Refs suck

If this was at MSG no doubt this would be the chant

 

[GG96]

I hate the cliches, but they need to get it deep. The forecheck was great. All of the Debbies chances came on turnovers playing cute shit.

 

[The Gloaming]

Don’t shoot me, but the kids have not impressed yet. They need to step up.

Yeah their shifts have been the worst out of all the lines. They have to settle in.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Joe West is an NHL ref now I guess

 

[rangersfansince08]

I hope this physical play is sustainable, I hope they ramp up the physicality even more

 

[Saitama]

Maybe the refs will look at the calls they made in the intermission and give us some makeup calls!

Lol...

 

[Boris Zubov]

Love the physical edge. Love getting the pucks deep. The Devils defense doesn’t make the good first pass. Hate the penalties.

Get the third goal and lock this game down.

We need to get back to being aggressive. We let up a bit after the power play goal.

 

[LokiDog]

Had no idea that Meier was such a bitch

Contagious Devils culture. He wasn’t in SJ. I was afraid of him. He looks like a p***y cat by comparison since the trade - not just tonight, I’ve tried to watch him often since the trade because I like the player. Looks neutered.

 

[Circus86]

One minute in and the Leafs already melting down

 

[Leonardo87]

I'll take the bullet for you when I remind everyone that they weren't good last playoffs outside of Chytil for like four games.

Dude, you are going to have to take a firing squad for me, there‘s Fox, Kreider, Mika, who else? Lol.

 

[Crease]

Have to stay out the box but two of those calls were softer than baby food.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Good period, but they need to be better with their puck decisions otherwise forget it.

 

[zukeisgone]

Rangers pace is desperate

He's not hitting unless it is late, trails behind the play, the dive was just the cherry on top

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Win the 2nd period.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

These guys took their foot off the gas. They need to just overwhelm the devils who were expecting to be faster. They have regained the play in the neutral and ranger zone but its all perimeter bullshit. They aren't doing any damage nor putting pucks on net. We need to calm down and handle the puck better when crossing the neutral zone. Just dump the puck they are inept at retrieving it. They are playing scared.

 

[Do you want ants]

I hope the refs watch that Timo replay and realize he clowned them.

 

[Machinehead]

Dude, you are going to have to take a firing squad for me, there‘s Fox, Kreider, Mika, what else? Lol.

You've been nice to those guys.

 

[Kords]

Hughes definitely getting a rough ride so far. Cannot let them back in this one, keep the pace.

 

[Boris Zubov]

I have my TV on mute, but is Armstrong talking about Cindy by any chance?

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Inexperience is a mofo aint it

Momentum shifted when they stopped getting it deep. There were a couple TO in the neutral zone, where they should have dumped but just lead to breaks for the Devils insane transition game.
