Post-Game Talk: Lightning III

[Richard Banger]

Horrible 3rd period. But not the end of the world. Tampa isn’t out of trouble yet. They still need to win game 4. Stay out of the box and tell Trouba to stop being a dumbass

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Maybe we’ll also learn to stop playing the fourth line after we score a goal at some point.

 

[Taluss]

f*** it guys. Keep your head up. This series is still very winnable

 

[ecemleafs]

when you go up 2-0 and youve scored 2 penalties, u absolutely cannot give the ref a chance to call a penalty. absolutely infuriating how many nhl players f*** up and gift the other team an opportunity to get back in the game when its going all your way.

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

f***ing hate the referees in this league. You can predict their next call/non-call with 95% accuracy based on the score of the game and who got the last penalty.

How about calling by the rule book. It's not your job to be the f***ing god of making the games close

 

[Rempe73]

Great. Now I have 6 hours left in the day to deal with this shit. Good news is we kept it close while absolutely sucking, which I don’t expect to happen next game. We’ll be ready. If not, then we aren’t a Cup caliber team.

 

[I Eat Crow]

The referees can't help but to put an imprint on the series with that Vatrano interference call. What a farce.

Of course the guy that broke Strome's f***ing hand gets the winner. Out of Trouba's all of idiotic penalties, at least make one an open ice hit on him.

Well deserved loss. Score three and win. Felt like there was nothing going 5 v 5.

This one's going 7. You just know it.

 

[Siddi]

Cant blame Igor after 50+ shots against but that last goal is on him. Absolutely trash softie.

 

[RangersFan]

I'm beyond frustrated with Tuba and Bread. Their play is embarrassing when the rest of the team is playing up to or beyond their abilities.

 

[Wtp99]

The lightning were not going down without a fight. You don’t win back to back by chance.
on to bigger and better Tuesday

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Sometimes the other team just plays a damn good game

 

[LeetchisGod]

Golden opportunity to basically bury them but let them right back in the series. Tuesday is a must win or I think we lose the series.

I couldn't agree more. All our momentum will be gone and the Lightning are champs for a reason.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Lots of salt because I said that the series is over. You don't lose like they did and recover after you should have had a commanding 3-0 lead. That was our chance and we blew the f***ing series.

 

[Bob Richards]

Might be better to just get that over with because I could not see a reality where they won that in OT lol.

Trouba saving the worst game of his life for this special occasion.

f*** it. Forget it and win on Tuesday.

 

[RagFinMet]

Trouba changed the course of the game
He has some good moments in these POs BUT
Overall his PO performance has been bad and this game was his worse
The first penalty killed us

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

Kids need more time. This is getting ridiculous.
Rangers CF 36%
Kid line: 54% Only 9 minutes together

I don't wanna hear a Strome excuse either. Kakko played 10 minutes. The ONLY good line today. Strome goes down. Play them. Nope.

 

[mrmovies779]

Anyone who thought Tampa would roll over and die or be easy is nuts

 

[Brutananadilewski]

They played desperate hockey, and we reverted to braindead hockey.

Overpassing, Trouba, trying to stretch out that defense, Trouba, barely any shots in the 3rd, Trouba.

And Trouba didn't make things any better for us.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Gut punch but Tampa was the better team.

Trouba should be embarrassed. Three decisive and costly minors after a 2-0 lead. Dumb players do dumb things.

 

[Machinehead]

The refs were doing everything they could to give NYR the game. The elbow to the head of belly was 5 on top of his trip. THe check from behind to the head on Bagel when the puck was long gone was at least a 2.

Thanks for that insight

 

[carlsection404]

Tampa got lucky regroup get game 4

 

[17futurecap]

It’s insane how little the kids play

 

[MillerTime79]

The refs were doing everything they could to give NYR the game. The elbow to the head of belly was 5 on top of his trip. THe check from behind to the head on Bagel when the puck was long gone was at least a 2.

How about you f*** off to your own forum?

 

[Ail]

Knew the refs would try help tighten the series up

Give me a break, the Rangers let them tighten up the series. Absolute puke effort. Tampa wanted it more from the puck drop on. It's not surprising the team down 0-2 came out hard, but overall just shit effort. Blaming the refs is a mega cope.

 

[nyrleetch]

Someone tell Copp the series started
