RANGERS-LIGHTNING GAME 1

[strudwickisthebest]

I'll be surprised if they don't score here

 

[Disturbed]

Can't take 3 pens in 3rd period

 

[Malco]

Terrible penalty...they score here it is over

 

[Malco]

Nash seems to have no stick handling ability at all sometimes...

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Omg

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Yessssssss!!!!!

 

[Disturbed]

Wow.

 

[mrmel29]

and just like that another 2-1 win moore

 

[chuckd3534]

YES.....Moore makes up for the dumb 3 on 1 drop pass.

YES!!!

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Is that a kick in??? HELLLLLLLLLL NOOOOOO

 

[chuckd3534]

That was funny. Didn't move his leg one drop, yet I don't think it was a kick...LOL.

 

[Disturbed]

They deserve that bounce. Outplaying TB large stretches of this gm

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Lol. They can't score on empty netd

 

[chuckd3534]

AND....2-1 AGAIN...LOL.

Another one goal game. Another 2-1 game. We cannot help it. Keep winning though.

 

[mrmel29]

ha ha ha another 2-1 win and who gives a shit, 1 game to none and a lot harder than this game should have been

 

[Ranger71]

Fortunate there. Need cut out the dumb penalties.

 

[chuckd3534]

One game so you cannot go too far, but we are better than TB. I think they will play better in game 2, but we are better. We have to bury a few of these chances, but we really should win this series.

Can we go up 2-0...I hope so as I will be in the building.

 

[Messiah717]

They're getting all the bounces and luck. You need that to win the cup.

 

[Disturbed]

Lol Chuck Game 2 test. Can they go up 2-0 on home ice for first time in 21 years.

 

[chuckd3534]

And winning all these OT games as well.

Not going crazy over one game, but I really thought the Caps would be our toughest challenge in the East, and said it before that series. We'll see what the Bolts bring in game 2...I expect a very big effort from them, cannot go down 2-0 in the NHL and expect good things.

 

[chuckd3534]

Lol Chuck Game 2 test. Can they go up 2-0 on home ice for first time in 21 years.

If you use 20 years of history and the way the Rangers operate overall right now as a guide...yeah this will be 1-1...LOL.

At some point they have to win 2 at home to start a series...why not Monday night.

 

[Ranger71]

Keep it 5/5, even 4/4 is no good against these guys.

 

[chuckd3534]

As a side note, I love Dom Moore in the playoffs. He really steps up his game this time of year. Does so many things well you need to win playoff games.

 

[mrmel29]

The way rangers dominated this game this series has the look of a 5 gamer to me. and they will score more as the series goes on. Tampa D is not good. The more games we see bishop the more adjustments we will make and goals we will score

 

[chuckd3534]

The Rangers held them to 24 shots, and that's with those 3rd period penalties. I really feel good about this series. Much better than I did against the Caps. That could change quickly in game 2, but right now I feel real good about our chances in this series.

 

[mrmel29]

And Staal had stamfcos for lunch today

 

[Stepupstepan]

so much for chuck's prediction that we lose the first one.

 

[chuckd3534]

The Rangers looked pretty comfortable out there today. I would guess game 2 will tell us long series or short series. Let's hope we take the easier path for once...LOL.

 

[Stepupstepan]

BTW...what happened to Brian Boyle? Tampa looked like they missed him...LOL

 

[Stepupstepan]

Glen, get on phone and sign that little british girl goalie. She will be hank's replacement.
