GDT: Rangers vs. Lightning 02/27/19 - 7:30 EST

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Lias head first dive to block Mcdonaghs shot... that’s the effort I love

 

[Machinehead]

Stadium Series again?

 

[CasusBelli]

Horrible attempted pass by Butch. No need to take that risk.

 

[Lays]

Nice effort from Lias there

 

[Richard Banger]

Good forecheck by Buchy

 

[Larrybiv]

Claude Jr. skates just like his father.

Strong, balls to the wall skater. So friggin evident. Why don't the Rangers draft more players like this? Present draft company excluded......in the new NHL, why is this so hard to do? Keep your good chraacter, but slow skating, lousy shooting players away from my team.....give me TALENT!

 

[Gresch04]

Another stupid pass in the offensive zone by Buch.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Two blue sweaters in the blue paint!!! I love it

 

[trilobyte]

McDonagh looked like absolute shit on that sequence there.

 

[haveandare]

How is this a close game? I know they're just insane this year but I have little confidence in this TB team winning a cup.

 

[duhmetreE]

Pionk is small but it seems like he has kid strength

he's listed at 6' 190... Why does he look smaller than everyone?

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

How’s that not delay of game????

 

[effen]

Lias head first dive to block Mcdonaghs shot... that’s the effort I love

I can live without that kind of effort for the next 2-4 years, thanks.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Remember when people said he should move to the wing. Too funny.

Uhhhh I may have dabbled in that philosophy for a brief moment...

 

[Kovalev27]

Good effort Buch, only to make a bad pass.

This is the hardest I’ve ever seen this kid play ever

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Pionk is small but it seems like he has kid strength

Same reason Vesey is listed at 6’3 but looks 5’2

 

[Rempe73]

Every game it seems that Mika is doing something new and creative. You can see the confidence and how he's starting to maximize his numerous skills.

Gorton needs his own holiday for that trade. I was so on board with it, but never expected Mika to become this good.

Same question every year for TBL; when the chips are down in a playoff series, can they do the hard yards as a team?

 

[Ghost of jas]

Nope...on the day we got him I thought he could be a 70-point center. Never once thought he should move to the wing.

Judging by this game: no

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Choppy period - so many stoppages

 

[effen]

He's probably 5'10" 185 but got inflated in college because they always do that and it stuck. He's not 6' 190

 

[Ghost of jas]

I think he's got another level in him.

 

[will1066]

The ex Rangers on Tampa don't feel like they're playing their former team

 

[duhmetreE]

He's probably 5'10" 185 but got inflated in college because they always do that and it stuck. He's not 6' 190

even 5'10 185... he looks like a midget compared to everyone else.. like an actual young teenager

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

am i absolutely insane or has staal been good the past few weeks? honestly thinking about it I’ve been mostly satisfied with his play this season
