GDT: Game 35: New York Rangers @ Tampa Bay Lightning, 7 pm ET, MSG

I haven't been to the Garden in a while, so maybe they're doing the same thing, but having your PA announcer shouting and blowing airhorns exiting a losing period is... strange

 

[Brother Mouzone]

Great road period ................

 

[Machinehead]

lol the analytics updated and Cirelli didn't get anything.

Looked worse than it was.

But yeah, excellent period. They had a slight edge in quantity but we by far had the quality.

 

[Levitate]

Interesting period. Still a bit confused about the interference call: the bump didn’t prevent Igor from making the eventual save. If anything, this should have been a goal or penalties to Mika AND Jeannot would have been in order. No?

to be honest I would have interpreted it as Jeannot initiated action in the crease and contact on the original shot and was still in the crease on the rebound when Shesterkin was trying to get back to make a save. I could be wrong but I think the one thing about the crease is still that you can't just hang around standing in it before the puck gets there. If you're scrumming for a loose puck then sure but if you're standing in the crease before the shot then technically it's interference.

WHether that's still true or ever called I dunno, but to my mind that is the best argument as to what happened

e: checking the rules yeah it's kinda true...basically if the refs think that the player being in the crease got in Shesterkins way then it can be considered interference

 

[Captain Lindy]

Great road period ................

Not too shabby.

 

[Fitzy]

Laf always finishes the season stronger, I'd bet he gets 50+ points this year

 

[will1066]

How did Trouba fall like that lmao

Centripetal force made a bet with centrifugal force and lost

 

[Captain Lindy]

Did Giannone just say Tampa is southwest Florida?

 

[Ail]

Lmao Trochek's face, you can tell he's thinking jesus f*** John how long is this question??

 

[will1066]

Did Giannone just say Tampa is southwest Florida?

It isn't?

 

[Captain Lindy]

It isn't?

No. It's north western Fla.

 

[gabevh3]

the ole switcheroo....thats a mean trick

The Vince McMahon special lol

 

[will1066]

No. It's north western Fla.

The panhandle is

 

[ecemleafs]

Its western Florida but the university of South Florida is in tampa

 

[Machinehead]

The way Trouba got the puck at the net on the second goal is what he's good it. He's very underrated at it actually.

If he did that on the powerplay, he'd be a good PPQB but as soon as it's a powerplay, he shoots 2,000 MPH like an idiot and misses the net.

He only does it well at even strength.

Let’s go

I think he was annoyed by the noise

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Oof... if they lost that challenge would it have been a 5on3? And did they know that risk?

Interesting period. Still a bit confused about the interference call: the bump didn’t prevent Igor from making the eventual save. If anything, this should have been a goal or penalties to Mika AND Jeannot would have been in order. No?

I really don’t understand how there’s any confusion. He kicked Shety’s skate out (interference by itself), but because of all of the pressure, Shesty couldn’t get back on his skates. He was just scrambling.

 

[Machinehead]

Again, it would be really nice to tighten this up now that we have the lead.

We've talked about low-event and high-event play.

The most successful teams do both and dictate which one they want. It's something I'd like to get into the habit of doing when we're ahead.

 

[turcotte8]

Can we get Jagr back instead of Wheeler?

 

[will1066]

I think he was annoyed by the noise

MSG fixed the audio

 

[Draft Guru]

No. It's north western Fla.

google maps exists

Laf has an insane ability to get robbed of points by scorekeepers

I'm still seeing him with an assist on both goals. What happened?
