RANGERS-LIGHTNING GAME 2

[Stepupstepan]

Complete buffons.

 

[Ranger71]

Get a split there and make it a best of 3.

 

[Rangers94]

Lightning did exactly what they needed to do. Came out, played much more physical, took advantage of our ineptitude on faceoffs and the PP, and capitalized on their chances. Our continuance of putting MSL and Boyle on the ice will be this teams downfall. AV needs a swift punch to the head to knock some sense into him about those two wastes of a roster spot.

 

[Stepupstepan]

God forbid these asswipes win a game 5:2 in the playoffs.

 

[Messiah717]

I realize all the issues tonight but the biggest one is that this team can't score more than two goals. I mean it's the ECF and they're playing a solid highly skilled opponent. It's not going to work here. Always some kind of issue with over passing, not elevating pucks and whatever else.

 

[Malco]

They don't come back from 3-1 down to Tampa, so they better take at least 1 in Tampa..

 

[Stepupstepan]

Has anybody else noticed Doc's mood has gone up as soon as tampa scored fifth goal?

 

[Messiah717]

Hopefully they can put this one behind them and come out ready in game three.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Nash will score with 3 minutes left

 

[NYR31]

no reason they can't split in Tampa. Very good offense, but the D and G are not all that impressive. Bishop gets way too cute handling the puck, at some point he will cost them big.

Can we stop with that nonsense already. The guy yells at everything. Go listen to his call of Stepan's goal beating the Caps.

 

[Disturbed]

Why are people surprised at this horrible performance? It's what they do.

They will Prob still win the series but it's likely going 7 now

 

[Messiah717]

Nash is back to being a complete waste. I've never seen a top goal scorer get so many good chances in the playoffs and score so very little.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Simple.. The rangers were undisciplined tonight too many dumb penalties.. Cross ice passes killed them as pk got spread too far apart...

 

[mrmel29]

We need to start elevating the pucks to have success on bishop. He lays on the ice like a seal

Just like last series, deflections and screens are an important factor in getting goals, and are two things that this team is too soft to do.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Like I said before. Wake me up when Rick Nash has his best game as ranger in the playoffs.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Excuse me Mr emmerick but Tampa didn't make huge changes they scored on a 3 on 5..and how many pp goals?

 

[Disturbed]

When you have a 5 on 3 in your building early in the game and give up a shorty when your struggling to score all playoffs you prob aren't going to win.

It was just a horrible game worst one in months really.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Take chances Eddie? they are fucking finished in this game.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Girardi stumbles down on the ice without even been touched pretty much sums up this shitshow.

 

[Stepupstepan]

LOL..they pulled the plug on this game. Has anybody else lost their picture?

 

[Disturbed]

Nash will score in the final min to make it 5-3

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Yeah because the rangers are known for goneing it up pierre

 

[Messiah717]

Instead of a million other things here's the reality I'm looking at.

Game one Pitt 2 Goals
Game two Pitt 3 Goals (Nash with a meaningless goal with seconds left)
Game three Pitt 2 Goals
Game four Pitt 2 Goals
Game Five Pitt 2 Goals

Game one Wash 1 Goal
Game two Wash 3 Goals
Game three Wash 0 Goals
Game four Wash 1 Goal
Game five Wash 2 Goals
Game six Wash 4 Goals
Game seven Wash 2 Goals

Game one Tampa 2 Goals
Game two Tampa 2 Goals


Two goals a game isn't going to get it done. Not against a team like Tampa.

They play a smart game and they can win 2 to 1

 

[Pastafazul]

you gonna lose, this is how you do it, don't want to get humiliated on home ice, but maybe this is what the team needs...

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

At this point it doesn't matter losing 3 to 2 or 6 to 2 loss is a loss

 

[Messiah717]

They play a smart game and they can win 2 to 1

Then you expect them to hold Tampa to one goal or less in three out of the next five games. I just don't see it.

 

[Messiah717]

There's not a single positive thing you can say about this game so game three can't really be any worse.
