LET’S GOOOO

 

[DaBolts]

Let's keep the streak alive boys....it's 4:15 a.m., wake up your neighbors by cranking this up and screaming it's time to win!

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

Last game I'll see from Europe, and the Lightning are 7-1 since I came over here, so I'm actually kinda regretting things from that POV. I wanted them to still be playing once I returned, and that will be the case. Fully hoping for a 1-0 lead once I'm back, and there's every reason they can get it.

Hopefully by the time their skating legs are back under them, they're still in the game and have weathered the storm. New York might be tiring as the game wears on and so that would play to our benefit if it's close.

Especially the first period will be tough, I hope they can shake off their rust quickly!

 

[SeaChaser]

Let's go Bolts.

 

[Peacefool]

Go Bolts! Just Win!!

 

[Hockey4Life91]

Tampa will be rusty and get blown out of the barn tonight. Our history of losing game 1s in ugly fashion will rear its ugly head.

Is it possible we will face a team worse at faceoffs than we are?

 

[dbieon12]

Just win at least 1 in NY

 

[Felonious Python]

I like that he uses overconfidence as a negative, but then immediately says that the Rangers are a team of destiny.

 

[bigdaddio]

Stan Fischler sounds like the kind of guy who moves to Florida from NYC because life sucks so hard there but constantly complains about how Florida is not as cool as NYC.

 

[Felonious Python]

Is it possible we will face a team worse at faceoffs than we are?

The linesmen will just have to toss it back into play after stoppages, like mites playing during the intermission.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Is it possible we will face a team worse at faceoffs than we are?

Yup. We’re 15th, they’re 16th in the playoffs.

 

[Summer Rose]

Igor Shesterkin scares me.

 

[Hoek]

Just fight til the last second please

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Good luck and may the best team win. I think there's a good chance whoever wins the ECF wins the cup. Neither the Oilers nor even Avs can match Tampa or NYR defense and moreso goaltending-wise.

 

[Stammertime91]

Short and sweet for this round
Whoever wins four is final bound
Protect Vasy at all costs
Kill their buzz with a solid loss
Igor is a Winnie the pooh character right?
Calm down Rangers fans, nobody wants to fight
MSG isn't the garden, it's monosodiumglutamate
Stan Fischler how's that for fate?
Always hear how New York is so great
Crazy considering all your natives flee the state
Islanders tried for a couple years
Now all they got is a failed season and a couple beers
You'll be next in a little while
Just adding your franchise to the pile
These guys tore down their whole team
We've been kicking ass including theirs since 2015
Finally get to play our affiliate
How long til we make them quit?

Poetry record: 5-0 (suck on that Florida)

Hi everyone!!!
Tonight, the first 2 period at least will be brutal. It's time for Vasy to show what he is able to do.
Win the first game would be huge.
Go Bolts!!!
