NY Rangers = America's Team
Look at a real team like the Avalanche. f***ing amazing how they play. Balls to the wall every goddamn shift even when up in a series 3-0.
That all starts with MacKinnon arguably the best player on the planet, but his mentality is what sets him apart and that bleeds into his teammates. They follow his lead.
Our ‘captain’ looks like an autistic deer in headlights.

I have to agree. Injuries hitting too at a really bad time. This has the makings of a really ugly end to what was an otherwise incredible run. I'm still proud of what this group accomplished, win or lose.
Still, you have to believe. Less likely stuff has happened before in this game.

I thought right from the start today it didn't make sense to disrupt two lines with strome out. I thought they should've left the 4th line intact and just put hunt on the line with copp and panarin. What they did moving Goodrow basically made two lines less effective tonight.

If chytil and strome are out game 5
Kreider-mika-frankie
Panarin-copp-motte
Laff-goodrow-kakko
Hunt-rooney-reaves
Thats probably our best lineup, right?

Even with the injuries Goodrow can’t be a top 6 player, he can’t move.

LOL! Did they handle our speed in Games 1 or 2? We lost only because we didn't bring it tonight. We weren't sharp. It was a sloppy game. It had nothing to do with what Tampa did. We will be playing catch me if you can once again in Game 5.
And even when we win this series, I'm not gonna gloat, cause bottom line,... all that matters is hoisting the Cup. And our odds of that are slim to none. We are not gonna win in the thin air up in Colorado. Besides playing the best team in the NHL, we have to play in the worst arena there is for us to visit. We haven't won there in 5 years. Granted, it was only 4 games. But we were out scored 16-6.

On the plus side, we are getting closer to the Sammy Blais game 7 gwg which makes every chart boy's head explode simultaneously opening up the 7th gate to hell

Agree 100%. Should have left the 4th line alone. That line with Rooney on there gave up an early goal and, well, that allowed Tampa to play their "muddy up the neutral zone" game for really close to 2 1/2 periods. That's how they've won Cups.
Should have gone Hunt, like you said, or Gauthier line 2, with all else staying the same. Rooney and Reaves together cannot happen again. Preferably both don't happen again, but I don't see Gallant taking Reaves out at this juncture and center injuries may keep Rooney in there.

This team needs speed now in the worst way.
Gallant having a grand ol time at the post game presser, laughing etc.
I know he’s like this, but not what I want to see after a performance like that.

Game 5 is the series.
If they take that, they play for the cup.

It never is good to piss away the advantage you've worked for, but I would certainly have taken a 2-2 series before this whole thing started.
The injuries are the primary concern now in terms of trying to come away with a best of 3.

Dude I feel like I'm saying that about a lot of our guys, juice is running low.

He should be mad at himself. 75% (at best) Goodrow in the top 6 murdered the offense and his line shuffling made no sense
Hunt should’ve also been in, not Rooney (who was awful tonight)

17 games in 35 days was an advantage the 1st 2 games of these series and now it’s catching up to us

I just don't see it. Even if the Rangers figure it out 5 v 5, this has the feeling of another Game 7.

Sometimes I can’t stand his decision making, but at this point I don’t care how he reacts in front of the press. He’s not going to show his emotions, but he clearly does to the team, or they wouldn’t be here.
If they drop game 5, they're losing in 6.
Can totally see them going full hurricane and winning every home game.
