Play like you did last time. That simple.
I think that mindset is precisely why the Rangers keep losing game 2s at home after winning game 1. The fact is we were very lucky to get out of htat game with the win, and it's pretty clear TB didn't play anywhere near as good as they could. If we play the way we did yesterday and Tampa steps up their game, we're going to lose game 2. We can't be content with having numerous AAA 5* chances, we need to finish them as well, which we've struggled to do all playoffs long. First goal was primarily due to the fact Bishop lost his stick, and the second goal was a fluke bounce right off of Moore's leg that Bishop had zero chance on. If we don't step up our game, adapt to TB's changes, and finish the chances we need to finish, then we're going to lose. I feel like that stagnant mentality is why we can't string a 2-0 run at home to start a series.
