Rangers-Lightning Game 1

[BigDaddyAl1973]

What could they be looking st now?

 

[mrmel29]

Tampa being run out of the rink

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Oh the 9 day off excuse...sorry but that only works for 1 period..a period which was tied...

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Save some for the rest of the series!

 

[mrmel29]

My rangers in 7 pick too pessimistic?

 

[Ranger71]

They should put Rooney and Hunt back in.

It's a long series.

 

[mrmel29]

Their defense is big and SLOWWWWWW

 

[Stepupstepan]

Am I the only who picked the rangers here? Lol

I always pick them too. Never predicted against them in any series

 

[Messiah717]

Mika with 21 points in 15 games. He's having some playoffs.

 

[Ranger71]

Really since game 6 of the Pitt series that he's picked it up.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

When did a position called the bumper spot start?

Strome keeps getting robbed on great scoring chances.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Tampa misses Point big time

 

[Messiah717]

Rangers MSG good luck charm Giants coach Brian Daboll.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Yeah they do. He is a playoff gamer. But oh well...everyone has injuries this time of year.

 

[Messiah717]

McDonagh and Maroon you don't want Reaves.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Lol what the hell is this scrum. Reaves just laughs at people

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

The linesman put himself in such a bad position..should of let revo and Marroon just go at it.

 

[kreidertime]

Asswhipping

 

[Stepupstepan]

Another fake tough guys team. Why do these teams think they can intimidate the rangers with Reaves on the roster

Why would you get between the two biggest guys out there?

 

[Greyvtrayn]

The addition of Reaves can't be overstated. The Rangers can't be physically intimidated with him on the ice. Huge signing this off-season.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Wow..just wow...

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Great win to start the series but I will say this. The rust was apparent and TB is going to be a better team in Game 2. No reason the Rangers can't hang with them and win Game 2. Let's go!

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

I'm not buying the rust excuse...tampa played very well for the first 20...rust would show and get blown out in the first period not the send half of the game

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Thats fine but if you think that the way TB played the last two periods of the game is indicative of what they are capable of you have another thing coming. Just look at their passing and (missed) shots...that timing being off is a product of not playing. They are going to be better game 2 and the Rangers need to be ready for it.

 

[Messiah717]

It's far from over as it's only one game. That said with all the lines playing well and Igor this can be a dangerous team.
