I have no idea how they can come out playing passive in a game 5, with the series at 2-2. I just do not understand this team. All they have to do is shoot the puck towards the net, and get in front of Bishop. Why is that so hard for these guys?

It does kind of blow your mind jam, and honestly as well as this team has played since the 2012 playoffs, this has been an issue every playoff season. It is why we lose every game 2 after winning game 1 at home. It is why we had to come back from down 3-1 twice the past two playoffs. It is why we have played SO MANY 7 game series. As good as this team has been we really struggle playing with any lead or advantage. Very frustrating.

How often tonight are you going to keep throwing that fishing line out there? We're pissed off enough without stupid shit like this.

Struds being his usual troll. I guess Henrik should have stopped that 2nd goal where the D got undressed.

Tempt fate enough and you eventually get burned. Of course I want them to win game six and seven but it's not going to happen just because.
 
I don't think they were passive, they just overpassed too much. They actually played with alot of energy i thought.
 
Guy goes from giving up 10 in 2 to pitching a shutout... What an awful game plan AV came out with... No execution at all... Bishop didn't even make a hard save
 
Score 1st or it will be tough.

We either show up on fire after this sh*t tonight OR I think we get rolled in game 6.

Not going to be easy for us to win down there in an elmination game. I said it before tonight...no elmination games in TB. They were the best home team in the NHL for a reason, and we saw it in game 3 & 4...we won a game 4 that they really controlled a lot of. Won't be easy, but you never know how a game will play out.
 
I got nothing... No rally cries no predictions.. Real empty feeling right now

Chuck I'm going to take a line from you, "it is what is", and what we truly expect from these guys. I'm not holding out any hope for game 6, but you never know. Still have to play the game, but they better bring there AAA game, or the season will come to a screeching halt.
 
Frankly, I don't think the Rangers have played a strong full 60 minute game yet in these playoffs. Their speed and transition game is what made them successful all season long. They have allowed all three opponents so far take them out of their game.
 
I think we all feel that way Al, and are very concerned this could be the end. I thought the Caps series would be our toughest challenge. I thought coin flip in that series. I thought 7 for us in this series, but I also thought it would be an "easier" 7 and not as much of a challenge as the Caps. I underestimated TB...that is clear.

AV? This is not on AV. The players are supposed to be professionals, and they didn't show up. Games 5 at home, with a chance to go up 3-2 you don't really need a coach on the bench. These guys should know how they need to play, and they didn't do it.
 
Didn't test Bishop at all really. Not sure TB tested Hank that much either, but they cashed one on the PP and a low % play by Glass and not a smart play by Staal helped them score the 1st goal.

I agree jam...5-2 us or 5-2 them. I actually don't see game 6 being close. One team rolls is my opinion. Edge on that team being them, but if we score 1st and put some doubt in their mind, you never know.
 
It would be nice if miller could get a goal... Geeze.. I also thought the 4th line were kind of lame tonight
 
AV's presser - "we got good looks tonight", "we need to get more looks g6", "they had more looks tonight", etc

Agree ... it's hard for this team to truly put someone away. How often are we sitting on the edge of our seats, as they try to hold a 1 goal lead with 10 minutes play?
 
And Pitt as well. So they have done it, but I also think TB is better than those teams AND has a very big home ice advantage.

With that said we are good on the road, so drop the puck and let the chips fall where they may. I have low expectations, but anything can happen in one game.

AGAIN we have got to be motivated after this performance tonight. Rather lose like this if we were going to lose. Should be a motivator.
 
I'd love to know what good looks he is talking about. I really don't think Bishop made more than 2 or 3 semi tough saves all night.
 
Sadly, this might be 2011-2012 all over again when they went to New Jersey for game 6 in the ECF.
 
Not worried about Gm 6 as i think it's very doable. Just like this team gives us duds, it equally gives us strong performances where there's no reason to believe they can't win Gm 6.

Honestly what is he going to say in the media? You know by now he doesn't give an inch.
