Game 2 Craps vs. Rangers

[kreidertime]

Put the hammer down.

 

[NYR_94]

Yes, put the hammer down for sure. Brooks' article today tells the tale perfectly. Get this win.

This first round against the Caps in which the Rangers got the jump with Sunday's 4-1 game 1 victory represents the 10th series since 2012 in which the Blueshirts had home ice advantage. Somewhat incredibly, they have taken a 2-0 series lead only once, two years ago in the 2022 conference final that lost in six games to the Lightning.


Only one time in 9 series with home ice since 2012 did the Rangers go up 2-0. Game 2 at home has been a weird issue for the Rangers. Handle your business tonight.

Let's hope the Rangers have correctly anticipated the adjustments the Caps are sure to make. Stay out of the penalty box, no bad penalties or EARLY penalties.

 

[NYR_94]

This is no must win game, or the sky is falling if they lose, far from it, but this is another small indicator to me. The Rangers are far and away the better team, this is a game they should win to take control of the series. If they fail to do so, while I'll have zero doubt they'll still win the series, it will show again they still cannot deal with any prosperity or make things a little easier on themselves in the playoffs.

You want to be in the best position possible when you play a very good Canes team, and that means ending this series sooner than 7 games for sure.

 

[Rangers94]

Typical Rangers. Flat in a playoff game after a win. Fucking team never learns.

 

[Ranger71]

Terrible job getting pucks into the zone.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Penalty missed when Cuylle got clipped and goal afterwards. So rangers lol

 

[Ranger71]

C'mon ref, holy cow.

 

[Rangers94]

That’s TWO fucking obvious penalties these refs have missed. They missed a high stick on Kakko and now a trip. Unreal. Terrible fucking refs already.

 

[Stepupstepan]

two fucking blatant penalties missed by the refs. Gary must want a longer series.

 

[Messiah717]

That’s how you answer.

 

[Rangers94]

Fuck the refs!!! We’ll win despite them!!!! Great tip in by Trocheck!

 

[Rangers94]

Penalty missed when Cuylle got clipped and goal afterwards. So rangers lol

I thought it was Kakko, but regardless we are now owed TWO calls.

 

[Rangers94]

LMFAO….thats a penalty but they can clip our guys in the head with a stick, trip our guy in front of goal, interfere when the puck isn’t there. This is gonna be a game where it’s us vs them and the refs. Fuck Gary. Hope he chokes on a corn dog that stupid bitch. This has his finger prints all over it wanting it to be as long of a series as possible.

 

[Stepupstepan]

lol now they call a penalty on the rangers. If this is not a biased officiating I don't know what it is. Little crying babies craps cried last game

 

[Ranger71]

I don't know what Trouba was doing there.

 

[Messiah717]

Atleast Mika is shooting tonight.

 

[Rangers94]

I don't know what Trouba was doing there.

Probably figured based on the officiating against the Rangers the refs were gonna swallow the whistle and let them play.

 

[kreidertime]

Refs sucking moose dick as always.

 

[Rangers94]

Refs sucking moose dick as always.

Trying to milk as many games as possible out of Ovie and the NY market.

 

[Stepupstepan]

I think Trouba is not right in his head in this game. Could've hit Trocheck for a breakway instead passed the puck into Lafs feet. lol

 

[kreidertime]

Yeah that’s what happens when you actually shoot the fucking puck Mika.

 

[Rangers94]

They definitely played him to pass it hahahaha. Great shot by Z!!!

 

[Messiah717]

See when you shoot Mika?

 

[Messiah717]

Yeah that’s what happens when you actually shoot the fucking puck Mika.

yup lol

 

[Rangers94]

Caps blew their load in first 5 minutes lol.

 

[Stepupstepan]

at least it feels like a playoff game unlike last game.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Caps blew their load in first 5 minutes lol.

Their coach wanted to play more of run and gun game with the rangers. Don't think it is a good idea.

 

[Rangers94]

Shocker that it’s Wes making that horseshit call. Kreider gets cross checked in the neck. Nada. Fucking blind ass refs. I’m shocked more people don’t get into officiating. There’s literally ZERO accountability. You can be fucking awful at your job and never lose a paycheck.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

No reason why they can’t sweep this team. Lindgren sucks and the caps defense is top 10 in the AHL
