Game 4 Tampa vs. Rangers

[Ranger71]

Feels alot like games 2 and 5 of the Carolina series.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

TB not giving up much. Way better defensively than the first two games. Drawing a penalty would be nice.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Vasilevski is unbeatable at home. 5 and 0

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

It's time for Laf to get on the score sheet

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Juggle the lines

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Juggle the lines

They did

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Juggle the lines

They did. Juggle again?

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

SKATE THE DUCKING PUCK OUT OF THE ZONE AMD STOP THR FLIPPING TO NO ONE INTO THE CENTER OF THE ICE

 

[Ranger71]

Kakko grossly overhandling the puck.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

All Limp wrist shots with nobody around the net

 

[NYR31]

We completely made a meal out of that 2nd goal. At first i thought Stamkos let us off the hook with a poor decision to look for the pass but then we fumbled it out of the zone and Kucherov skated in clean 1v1. Terrible.

 

[Messiah717]

That second goal was a killer.

 

[Stepupstepan]

No matter what roster is. I don’t remember the last time the Rangers actually having a short series.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Not if they can manage to get one back here before the end of the 2nd. (without giving up another)

 

[Greyvtrayn]

No matter what roster is. I don’t remember the last time the Rangers actually having a short series.

That they won? Probably 97 against the Panthers 4-1.

 

[Ranger71]

Gotta shoot quicker.

 

[mrmel29]

Bad 40 so far. Can they make up for it in the final 20? We’ll see.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Vas has made no tough saves tonight. Very easy night goaltending for him

 

[NYR Fan]

Said it after the 1st, this game has the feel of a SO for TB. We aren't playing that poorly, couple of bad breakdowns notwithstanding, but we are generating very little. Not much threat as Vasy maybe has 2 or 3 good saves. Disappointing, and I think we are in a tough spot in this series now if we don't come back in the 3rd. Shame.

 

[NYR31]

Had the puck in their zone a lot in the last few minutes but never really put them under too much pressure to score. Best chances actually came from them on the 2v1 and the 1x by Kucherov.

 

[NYR Fan]

It's funny, I don't think Strome himself is a big loss, but his impact on the rest of the lineup hurts us. I think any one player missing hurts us since our biggest strength is depth and balance. You could argue we have the best 3rd and 4th lines right now when all healthy. Taking Goodrow off the 4th line really hurts.

 

[Ranger71]

Tampa's playing very conservatively as not to give up any odd man chances or pp's.

 

[NYR Fan]

Playing conservative, and capitalizing on the couple of breakdowns we have had. Smart approach tonight given our inability to generate O.

 

[Stepupstepan]

That they won? Probably 97 against the Panthers 4-1.

lol that’s a long time bro

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Probably when they swept Atlanta when Jagr was on the team

 

[Stepupstepan]

Found it. Against the devils in o8. 4:1

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Early PP for TB.

 

[Stepupstepan]

No Chytil now? What else can go wrong

 

[Ranger71]

Welp, best of 3 now.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Well that outta do it for tonight. They better score at least 1 tonight though....
