GAME 6 RANGERS-LIGHTNING GAME 6 HERE WE COME

Good thing that was Brian Boyle

i don't have a clue what the rangers are doing

 

[Rangers94]

It's getting to that point where their PP struggles are seeping into their 5 on 5 play and they're gripping their sticks too tightly and getting too cute out there all the time.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Look really flat

 

[Messiah717]

Shots 21-12 Tampa Bay. Are they trying to sit on this lead?

 

[Rangers94]

Flat and very sloppy.

 

[Messiah717]

Simply put you cannot play trying not to lose instead of playing to win.

Shots 21-12 Tampa Bay. Are they trying to sit on this lead?

They are just one and done on every zone entry, whereas Tampa maintains zone control. Passes are behind guys. And now they are legit just getting the puck into the zone, dumping it and then going off for a change. They're not even trying to maintain any sort of zone pressure because they're so concerned with getting off the ice.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Is that AV'a gameplan??? Seriously, they did the same thing against the Kings last year.. Go up 1,2 goals then nothing the rest of the game... Not to mention squandering the lead

 

[Messiah717]

Sadly it's once again and example of letting the opponent play out their game plan. If you're that afraid of the opponent get off the ice and let them move on.

LUNDY

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Nevermind

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Lol another hit from behind

 

[Pastafazul]

the PASSINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG SHOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[Ranger71]

The giveaways in front are mindblowing.

 

[Rangers94]

This is almost laughable at how awful we are at zone control. We get into the zone and look lost. Guys not sure where to go, passed behind guys or to where no one is. They get into the zone and we can't figure how to get out. Just stupid, lazy and sloppy

 

[Pastafazul]

who sucks more right now?

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Get the fucking puck deep glass

 

[mrmel29]

I see the strategy now. Their going to tire the tampa skaters out by letting them come in on odd man rush after odd man rush and the defense is pretending to be a complete turnover machine so tampa will keep skating hard

 

[strudwickisthebest]

I'll throw out a Chuck line --- it is what it is ---- they win 2-1 great they don't whatever. At this point they are playing a similar gameplan as TB did in G5... If they win it will be 2-1 because they aren't thinking offense tonight

 

[Rangers94]

AV needs to seriously ask these guys who wants to play like a man and who wants to play like a bitch. If you want to play like a man, get in deep, control the puck, and knock them on their ass. If you want to play like a bitch, well there's the bench so get well acquainted with it and MSL as he shouldn't see the ice for the rest of this game. He's a HUGE pussy and can't even win board battles. Nash is soft and isn't going to the goal scoring positions, but at least he's winning battles and hitting people. Granted we want goals from him. But MSL has brought nothing all playoffs long to this team.

That's a bold strategy Cotton. Let's see if it works out.

 

[mrmel29]

decline it

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Im not sure I want a pp

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

He sells it.....

 

[Rangers94]

Im not sure I want a pp

I'd be fine with it if they would keep MSL off of it and actually shoot the damn puck and crash the net.

 

[Rangers94]

See that Rangers??? They crashed Hank. RUN BISHOP

KING HANK

 

[Ranger71]

Again McDonagh gets undressed. This pace is not good for them.
