Kucherov seemed to sulk when Shesterkin stoned him a few times early in the game. Almost like he was entitled to score on every goalie he plays. I don't buy that rusty crap either because of the layoff. As I said before. The Lightning's biggest reason for winning 2 cups is that they have always had an advantage in goal vs. the teams they play. That is not the case in this series and they know it. The Rangers have been prepared well by their last 2 series. Carolina was one of the best defensive teams with size, speed and good faceoff players. Pitt had powerful top line, great faceoff guys and a ton of playoff experience. There is nothing that Tampa is going to do that the Rangers haven't seen in these playoffs at this point. Florida and Toronto are both high powered offenses but they are extremely sloppy defensively and their goaltending is average. Tampa took advantage of that. Defensively the Rangers can get sloppy sometimes but their goalie is elite and usually bails them out. If the Rangers stay healthy especially with Igor, they have a great chance to win this series. Unfortunately, because Parros is an incompetent dumb bastard, there is a trend developing in the playoffs. When teams can't solve a goalie, they just start crashing into him. This is where you have to hand out 25 to 40 game suspensions to players if the goalie suffers a long term injury. However, Parros and the league are imbeciles which is why you see shit like this continuing to happen.
