Post-Game Talk: Lightning III

[I Eat Crow]

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.

What the hell were you watching?

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Let’s just win the next one
You know they would win one at home

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

The Kid Line were somehow positive in shot attempts during that live execution.

Kakko played 9:42.

Gallant shortens his bench and takes out the best line in the NHL these playoffs.

Every single coach in the NHL is the same senile f***ing Don Cherry clone who hates everyone under 23.

Been screaming about this for awhile now. It's inexcusable.

 

[chosen]

Anyone blaming the refs for this one is a clueless whiner.

Tough to win when your team gives up 50 shots on goal.

I thought Trouba and Vatrano had bad games, but shit happens.

Win Game 4 and things will be good, again.

 

[Brother Mouzone]

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.

 

[Alluckks]

Refs wanted to call anything and everything in Tampa's favor

Kucherov jabs our goalie behind the knee after the play? No problem. Maroon runs our star as time expires in the period? No problem.

The only penalties Rangers got called in their favor were ones that were so damn obvious is necessitated a call.

Then we have to go with a shortened forward group and practically everyone is gassed.

Horseshit game

 

[Richard Banger]

Give credit to Tampa. They found their extra gear. Rangers need to find their composure again. We still have the lead and a chance to take it home 3-1. Really really really need Panarin to step up.

 

[aufheben]

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.

Panarin bugs me more. He’s been visibly frustrated even before this game.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Never mind.

 

[Machinehead]

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.

We have multiple injuries in this game and he plays the kids less.

Why is every f***ing hockey coach your drunk uncle who longs for "the good old days"?

 

[flyfysher]

Rangers are so impressive as a team in this series. They’ve really grown and developed as players and team. It’s disappointing they lost this game but it should be interesting to see how they come out for game 4 since they’re such a young team. How will they handle adversity? FTR, this loss might be more beneficial in that sense over the longer term.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

That second penalty call on Truba was a phantom call he didn’t touch him

 

[bbny]

It’s quite simple really. The game is on Trouba. He was skated off the ice all day. We also need and have needed him to win so hopefully he can rebound.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

The only positive is that the Rangers are going to get chewed out by Gallant in between games.

Can he get chewed out too? Play the damn kid line.

 

[17futurecap]

Stop blaming the refs idiots

 

[LeetchisGod]

Trouba was terrible but we were hot garbage 5 on 5 in this game. That was the difference.

 

[rangersfansince08]

you are a loser

 

[Bob Richards]

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.

Because its f***ing insufferable to listen to you declare the one of the best seasons in our organizations history over after 3 games.

If you're so certain we are in the offseason then log off and do something else.

 

[JohnC]

Grabbing a guys skate and pulling him down to prevent a breakaway when you’ve got an all world goalie is a real bold strategy.

 

[Leonardo87]

 

[Boris Zubov]

Refs were atrocious, but we didn't help ourselves by being sloppy all afternoon with the puck. Plus we stopped putting pressure on them after the 2-0 goal. Team looked tired today & we didn't earn any puck luck.

With all that said, Tampa needed a ton of lucky bounces & a ton of help from the refs to pull this out. I like our chances to bounce back in Game 4.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Something I don't know if anyone else saw when we had that brief 4 minute PP.

Did Chytil get hit with a high stick as well?

 

[SeanAveryTheGreatOne]

Another series, another Rangers shitting the bed in the first two road games. Like I said, this is NOWHERE near over

 

[bouds]

Trouba is a disaster at times, but that holding call on him was a cheapy. Bottom line, no one came out of that locker room ready to play in that 3rd except Igor. I mean you can bitch about Trouba until you’re blue in the face, but we spent no time on the attack in the 3rd.

 

[Ail]

It’s insane how little the kids play

Yeah especially considering they were the one line not getting bent over 5v5. Muh vets
