Well they still have to get one more but if Tampa ends up winning at least will be easy to get on the Avs bandwagon and hope they slap them around

 

[CasusBelli]

Yeah, she died like 2 days ago.

My condolences mate. Losing a pet is always hard.

 

[TriFF51]

I had Rangers in 7, but they needed this one. Guess they really were just rusty.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

It is what it is.

We played very well. That game was a coin flip and they got the deflection.

We're hanging right in there with this best and we've shown an awful lot.

the issue is we can’t do shit on the road. if we played like this in tampa, I’d feel a lot more confident. but we’ve shown absolutely nothing on the road and it’s clear we’re getting really tired.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Our cat died and now the Rangers are on life support. Horrible week so far.

Sorry to hear @Cmox

 

[CommaSynapse]

I stopped watching after the empty net. Apparently we got our asses kicked physically too at the end of the game?

Not really. One second left, it's pushed to the corner, and Kucherov wants to be an ass and fire it at the net from a stupid angle. It was blocked by Fox, they took cross checks from each other, and then everyone jumped in.

Lindgren was bleeding after getting tackled to the ice and punched, and Stamkos was roughing up Laf.

I can’t wait until this bum is gone.

What did I miss with Strome? My feed went out for like 5 minutes in the 3rd.

Copp fed him a pass with a gigantic, wide open net that post pirate eye Marc Staal would have buried.

I mean, yeah.

We are tired and Tampa has won 15/19 playoff games at home.

 

[DialUp]

To the few who openly mocked and derided my skepticism and alleged pessimism: tell me I was wrong.

lol dude there's no winners or losers HERE.

 

[Greschner4]

Not a single play-based penalty on Tampa the entire game. You gotta be shitting me.

 

[Chytilmania]

Yeah, you can stick a fork in them.

Even at home, they play like dumbasses, passing instead of taking shots, and I'm so sick and tired of our defense holding onto the puck so we can "set-up." It just leads to an eventual turnover!

Yes! And I hate when we have a chance to clear the zone but curl back in and pass it behind the net.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

I want Strome off the team now

 

[zlev]

i didn't think anyone played particularly badly. maybe rooney but he sucks so what do you expect.

they scored two shit goals and we had way more scoring chances. we were the better team in that game.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Copp fed him a pass with a gigantic, wide open net that post pirate eye Marc Staal would have buried.

I saw it.

I even went to twitter and seeked the Gif for full context.

Theres no excuse. Thats a lay up and you're a righty.... That was like the epitome of Strome.

 

[mrmovies779]

Vatrano was 1 of the few who looked like he gave a shit in the 3rd.I don't get the hate.Meanwhile Kreider and Mika were out there figure skating...

 

[mas0764]

6 goals.
3 goals.
2 goals.
1 goal.
1 goal.

You see where this is going.

 

[TriFF51]

It's so boring watching them dump in and TB clear it with no pressure. Then proceed to enter our zone with ease for a solid minute plus of zone time. Over and over and over....

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

The refs just stink, it’s not a conspiracy guys, the NHL would much rather New York and Colorado.

The refs seem to just have a certain standard for Tampa. They let them get away with so much obstruction from puck drop that it becomes their normal play. The refs need to call them for their shit early to set a standard but they don’t.

 

[Cmox]

EDIT: My apologies. I misread your post.

I'm sorry that I ask because I euthanized my cat today.

Sorry for your loss.

No worries. she was 10 and went downhill way quick. So quick she passed the night before she was scheduled to be put down. She was even at the vet a month ago. Worst part of owning a pet.


Also my condolences. Its a horrible thing to go through.

 

[MrEctions]

The refs totally were the biggest factor in this game. Abhorrent. Buttman got what he wanted. Sports net and ESPN both suck shriveled infested donkey pen is in their disgusting bias,

I try not to watch the games and come away with reffing decisions being a factor as they usually even out over the course of a game. But this game was blatantly obvious to me. The amount of clutching, grabbing, obstruction that Tampa is allowed to get away with on a shift by shift basis astounds me. Multiple grabs were obvious in this game and yet they get Miller with a penalty for essentially lifting a guys stick.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

We battled and were pretty good but Tampa just knows how to win and the refs let so much go.

 

[CommaSynapse]

Copp has disappeared. Kreider looks like he couldn't care less. And Gallant still can't see the obvious and instead played the kids less.

This was Panarin's best game in quite a while. And Miller had a great game. Trouba...not as much. Fox and Lindgren were both pretty solid. Even Schneider looked more composed.

Yet again, the Rangers have wasted just about as good a goalie performance as you could get.

 

[CasusBelli]

The thing about making negative predictions all the time is when you’re right you can come gloat and when you’re wrong everyone is too happy that something good happened to care. This team is on a run nobody expected and even this outcome would have been called wildly optimistic at the start of the season

I fully agree, and I’ll be the first to say that I was wrong about my bearishness in the Pittsburgh series, though my bullishness against Carolina was proven right. My point is that it’s silly to openly mock people for differing viewpoints — especially if they’re substantiated. I didn’t say we’d get swept by the Habs or the Devils. I said we’d put up a good fight, have a decent chance, but ultimately TB would likely (and, again, likely) be too much. These guys are the champs for a reason. Losing Goodrow and having Point out for a bit doesn’t change that. Exceptionally talented and coached. Have to tip your hat to that.

That said, I do despise every one of those cheap shot artists, and tonight’s officials can go to hell.

 

[Brief Candle]

Guys, GUYS. Want to hear a joke? Ryan Strome is an nhl-caliber hockey player worth 7mil a year.
