Yup. And these youngsters never know when they'll get another shot. Tough to get this deep.

I'm really hoping that Kid Line develops into a legit line and Laf and Kakko become elite players.

Win or lose, KK has to, has to, HAS TO work on his skating.

I'm still hoping he can turn into a Jagr-lite, being hard to get off the puck.
 
It's what you're trying to convey by leaving out a few other details.

Yes, Henrik took this team to the finals.

Problem is when did he?

And at the end of the day, Henrik didn't have a 90 and 80 point and 50 goal scorer on his team like Shesty does, and you're trying to lay the blame at his feet.

Exactly. And I am not putting the blame on Igor. I just want our superstar goalie to steal a f***ing game. You know, like Vasy did tonight.

There's no such thing as momentum from game to game. Every game is a clean slate. The Rangers played their low event hockey like they did against Carolina tonight and it was a coin flip. They should have had more chances to score with at least 3 or 4 more power plays.

If the Rangers play like this Saturday, they will win.
Not if the refs continue to refuse to call anything on Tampa. I see another slug of a game where the clutching, grabbing, interference will not be called.

Next year, they need to start getting more bodies in front of the net. Plain and simple. Can still play east-west but there's gotta be a few players willing to run cover fire.

i f***ing hate tampa. I so regret rooting for those gaping douche holes in 2020. everything goes their f***ing way. they play their shitty trap cheapshot hockey and 2-1 our hobbled, gassed team to death just like they f***ing did in 2015. 7 years an entire f***ing rebuild and rise back to contention later and its still the same f***ing shit with these assholes. I feel like im gonna be watching jon cooper's smug face on the bench of a rangers ECF loss on my goddamn deathbed

Well, when our team relearns to park their asses in the crease, not passing or coughing up the puck but taking shots, and when the Lightning players start parting like the Red Sea to allow one of our defesnemen to come closer with their shot attemps like the Rangers have been doing for the Lightning, then I can equivocally say that Vasi did indeed steal a game.
 
Win or lose, KK has to, has to, HAS TO work on his skating.

His skating is good, it’s his foot speed that isn’t there. I’m not sure you can fix that very much.

He needs to use what he has, develop a shot and score.
 
I would argue Mika is the reason we are here.
I mean, Mika is a big part of it, but Shesterkin is the Team MVP, he had an historic season and aside from Games 3-4 against pitt, has been lights out all playoffs. He’s a huge reason we are here if not the reason. Mika has also done nothing Games 3-5, should we turn on him and compare him to Messier?
 
If the officiating standard tonight was used in Game 3 we win that game 2-0. It’s the inconsistent application of the rules between games and even in game that is so enraging.
You just never know what you are going to get game to game. Inconsistent bullshit and why I hate the NHL and it's officiating. Somebody is going to tell me with a straight face that Tampa didn't have any infractions other than a too many men? Give me a fing break.
 
If we lose this series I hope colorado sweeps them. I hope every game is 17-0. I hope Makar literally breaks hedman's ankles and Kadri decapitates kucherov. I wanna see Mackinnon drag his nuts across vasi's face. I wanna see Ray Ferraro cry on live tv as the NHL's next "dynasty" goes down in flames
 
In the regular season, Rangers get a power play late in the third, bury a goal. Win 2-1 or 3-1 with an empty net.

That was the standard all year long. Was set up for that tonight, but no call ever came, no matter what happened.

I also do not believe it was ref incompetence or “human error”. The little things, like icings, faceoff drops, quick whistles, offside calls, etc. ALL went against the Rangers.

Had Strome scored, Trouba or Lindgren would have been sent off for something immediately after.
 
Not the usual optimistic Gallant post game after a loss that we've seen all playoffs. I get the feeling he knows they're facing a different animal right now from what they were facing against Pitt and Carolina. The Lightning are not the team where you can squander opportunity after opportunity and win a best of 7.
