Post-Game Talk: light

[Chytilmania]

I may be in the minority here, but can we cut the shit with the "Igor's better!" chants? Bad juju if you ask me.

Agreed and until he wins a Cup, Vasi will be considered better.

Igor also needs to be careful with how he "reacts" to getting hit. Thought he took a stick to the eye like Hank or had a bad injury. Don't need a reputation after people were questioning him after Carter ran into him.

Mika with only the 3rd most votes...????? A lot of great performances but Mika tonight COME ON..........that was like putting on a clinic out there.

I'm not voting. I don't think anyone should. The whole team deserves stars. It's unfair to point out 3 players when the whole team was just phenomenal.

 

[Krams]

Stoked that Fil has stepped up like this. For a stretch there in the regular season, particularly before his injury, I was wondering if he'd stick here at all. Regardless of how it plays out from here, the experience the young guys have gained this run is incredibly valuable and only mounting.

 

[Doctyl]

I don't buy the 9 days off excuse. The Rangers were f***ing GOOD tonight.

you shouldnt. If Tampa lost its because they were rusty. If the won its because they were rested. Bullshit narrative when it covers both outcomes

 

[OrangePMD]

Natural stat trick expected goals:
Lightning 3
Rangers 2.4

GTFOH.

Moneypuck says:

Lightning 4.04
Rangers 2.48

Deserve to win o'meter: Lightning 75.1%

 

[NYR94]

They’re referring to Igor as ShesTwerkin… is that supposed to be a diss?

You have to forgive them for being cranky considering the clown car of goalies they trotted out this past season

 

[Loff]

Yahtzee. Promising start.

I've always been a Chytil fan, but I'll admit he had me worried this season with the lack of progress. I'm loving him see him make a name for himself when we need it most in the playoffs.

They know whats up.

They came out in the 2nd after an ass first and completely took over the game.

Tampa may tie up the series, but it won't be because of a let down on our end.

It's a mindset though.

The difference is the 1st vs 2nd period. To consistently have that urgency has been an issue all season IMO

I had such a hard time trying to pick just 3 ....I kept changing them. Yes a great overall team performance.

 

[tlk]

I guess the mighty Bolts aren't going to sweep.

Might be a sweep yet

 

[Chytilmania]

Is Mika a top 5 Center in the league yet?

Before the season we all talked about how long it would take to regain the creativity Quinn tried to remove from the kids. We have our answer. 82 regular season games.

IF we get to the Cup Final, I'll be away doing mil shit. I better be able to watch the games. I'll do whatever I have to do to watch those games. Game 7 of this series is scheduled the night before the morning I leave. I need some luck and cell service or wifi.

Oh Baby!

Rangers have won as many games in the conference finals as they've won playoff games in the last 9 years.

That team is about to make Buffalo's playoff drought look like a week long staycation.

but theyre just as good as us though. They just have bad goaltending you see

 

[hackeyman]

I don't buy the 9 days off excuse. The Rangers were f***ing GOOD tonight.

To be honest....I think in a way the Lightning were good too....it was a helluva good game.

 

[CommaSynapse]

Playing Tampa is a bit more to our strengths. They're not nearly as fast as Carolina, which only helps us. The big X-factor is Vasy, but tonight is a very auspicious start, and Shesty came to play.

Can't get ahead of ourselves, of course, and the "Igor's better" chants are just asking for bad karma. Gotta be ready to go on Friday because you know Tampa is going to want to claim tonight was a one-off.
