GDT: 6/9/22 - 8:00PM EDT - Tampa Bay @ New York Rangers [ECF GAME 5]

[LightningStrikes]

The two goals were what it’s all about: Creating traffic in front of the net and screening Igor. Good things will happen that way.

Two games remaining to finish this, preferably in the next one. Don’t let off!

 

[JDBolt]

Just went over to the rangers gdt from last night and browsed the last 40 pages or so, and WOW, do we have it good here. I know people love to hate on the leafs fans, but that's about as pathetic as it gets, from what I've witnessed. I'll never mention our fans again when it comes to bitching about refs, as it's never been as bad here. Very thankful for the decorum we have and the mods not allowing posts wishing for injuries on players, as well.

They want us to believe that the sucker punch guy is an outlier, but that thread is proving anything but. Completely classless over there.

My goodness, the clutch continues. Now please finish this off on Saturday!

If this team were any more reliably clutch, we'd be at Le Mans this weekend.

 

[Sky04]

It's a risky move, yes, but doesn't make the battery any less battery.

Save all your condemnation for the guy who threw the sucker punch. He's the one who deserves it.

They're both idiots, these things are avoidable - play stupid games and..

 

[Governor]

Haven't been seeing many Rangers fans saying this, but wanted to come and tip my cap to Vasi. Guy seems to be in the zone full stop now. That first period? Man made some great stops. Vasi has so far been the better goalie in this series. Hopefully Game 6 is another fun game!

Cheers

Something odd I noticed in Tampa's insta post game, cernak had to be helped to get his jersey off by the training staff over his right arm, looked to be in some pain...

 

[bigdaddio]

I want to know what that scumbag said to Stamkos. He was steaming hot!

Probably b/c the kid threw about 4 punches (ineffectually) with his gloves on.

Shut up

 

[LordZapp]

These guys have some asshole fans.

 

[J T Money]

Sucker punch guy got arrested and charged.

Such a garbage opinion, blaming the victim for assault because of what they are wearing

 

[Fabiobest]

Sorry but you're an idiot if you go to an away game and taunt fans after a big loss.

I only taunt, on twitter, the ass* that taunted like our accounts, like Bolts Jolts ecc ecc.
For sure I don't want to start a fight.

Lightning fan sucker-punched by Rangers fan at Madison Square Garden

The Rangers fan tried to get away but was arrested by the NYPD. Madison Square Garden says it has permanently banned him from future events.

Agreed.

We have no idea he was taunting, he was probably being harassed the entire time and putting up a defense. Please don’t normalize this shit guys

That's for sure.
And, of course, it's a big "if", like we say here in Italy.
1) if the Bolts fan started to taunt the Rags fans, he's wrong.
2) if the Rags fan harrassed him during the entire game, he deserved a punch way before the end of the game.

 

[Fabiobest]

Are they really thinking that?

That's not how crimes work, bro.

Based on what? Do you have access to video and/or testimony no one else has seen yet? All I see, at the current time, is a video of a guy getting sucker punched.

Yeah, to be honest we do not know the history of that guy...so the only this we saw is that sucker punch.
That's inexusable and unacceptable, no matter what, especially in a country that is a model to follow: watch an event there is something to be remembered and we're not talking about soccer where...you know...I'd not be impressed by that.
I hope this guy will end up in jail for a while.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Forget it guys, he’s @Sky04

 

[Sky04]

Ok.... you provoke a guy with a gun, he shoots you, you end up dead and he ends up in jail. No ones a winner pal, put your ego aside and your saftey first.

You talk like poor decisions don't lead to unwanted outcomes.

Finding or trying to find some kind of justification or equivalence is a disgrace.

Nono wait, I don't want to justify such a terrible thing.
I really hope that guy will end up in jail for a long time.
Also if my first point is valid, it's not a justification for what it happened. The violence should not be allowed, never.

I hope you mean that, but in your post you said "if the Rags fan harassed him during the entire game, he deserved a punch way before the end of the game." I've been in a few scraps in my life, most of which I regret, but no matter how passionate my fandom, it has never occurred to me to cold cock someone, or get into fisticuffs in any way over someone else's obnoxiousness in the context of a sporting event.

No excuse. That was a disgusting act of cowardice. Had I seen that when I was leaving the game I would have jumped in myself. I hope the POS who did that gets jail time and a lifetime ban from MSG.
