Post-Game Talk: light

[CommaSynapse]

Been winning when I don't visit HFNYR during the game, so I'm doing my duty and sticking to it.

But man, another solid effort. Gave me a bit of indigestion at the end there, but it's okay.

The kid line as the 3rd line really gives us a ton of options. With 3 strong lines, someone's getting a good matchup against Tampa's D. Fil's getting more and more confident. I'm loving it. As a unit, they're just reading the plays well and know where each other is going to be.

More than that, we're somehow the speedy team against Tampa. And we have the skill guys and the grit to back it up.

Also, that penalty on Reaves was BS. It should have at least been both him and Maroon going to the box.

 

[Kords]

Was a defensive clinic up until the last 10 to 15 minutes when the Bolts started to jumble lines and push hard. They were breaking up every play and moving the puck out in 2 to 3 touches. More of that please.

I keep hearing how the Rangers are getting better, and it's 100% the kids learning on the fly. They cut their teeth on the Pens and it was close, but if THIS team was playing the Pens it might of been Rangers in 4 or 5. They have grown up so much since round 1 which is crazy. Best possible development year (aside from the obvious which I won't jinx).

This is just wonderful.

I think I'm being kind if I say we're an extremely avg skating team, but Tampa makes us look like were a fast team. Playing without Point is really hurting them.

 

[ReddestRum]

I mean.. there's nothing I can say at this point other than gatdamn.

 

[mas0764]

Kakko for MVP

Thinking about when @Machinehead had to defend Adam Fox of all people during the regular season.

I almost wonder if they'll try to rush Point back.

wasnt game 7 of pittsburgh series a 3 oclock sunday start?

No

 

[PuckLuck3043]

the excuse now is they are a beat up team because they have been playing a lot of postseason hockey the last few years and that stuff catches up to you. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Funny how they swept Florida and then had 9 days off but now it's catching up to them. Or maybe the Rangers are just a really good team.

Igor's translator carried over Igor's sigh.

That's attention to detail and loving your craft

 

[SeanAveryTheGreatOne]

this is the exact hole we were in last series and won the thing. This is nowhere near over

 

[Mike in Houston]

Why not us?

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Colorado - German U boats?

Well I once read that at least 75% of U boaters were killed. Do with that what you will.

 

[Holocene]

No

lol idk what the hell im thinking of then, is this our first afternoon game through 3 rounds?

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Could have said this after we tired up the series against Carolina, but I totally underestimated this team this year (and a ton of fans did, rightly so).

I did NOT predict that we would have a 3rd line emerge in the playoffs, nor did I think we would have been the steadier, calmer team. I watch to be surprised, and underdogs do win, but even if this is the last game we win (it won't be), I am thrilled with how this turned out and our future. Feels so much different than 2012/2014/2015.

Agreed on the last part

12,14 and 15 felt like we were barely surviving. I feel like we have been the better team in all 3 series thus far. We’re thriving

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

This team have now proved they can come from behind. They've proven they can protect a lead. They can kill penalties, score on the pp and if the pp aint scoring, they can score 5v5. We always knew they had great top line talent, defense and goaltending, but now they're looking like a real four line team.

It may still end this series, but I think there's a real chance they battle for the cup. I would never have expected that just a few weeks ago.

Jomboy giving more love to the Rangers than Spittin Chiclets

Once the Brits broke Enigma, they were sitting ducks.

 

[hackeyman]

Well, that just sounds like a player interview.

Some habits are hard to break .

First one away, yes. Rangers played Game 4 at home that was a 3pm start against Carolina, IIRC.
