Can we finally admit that Stepan would be a 4C on the Islanders?
No...

I would put MSL back on the 3rd line. Maybe he can do something against their 3rd pairing.
Nash--Brassard--Miller
Kreider--Stepan--Fast
Hagelin--Hayes--MSL
Glass--Moore--Sheppard
Wonder would Cooper consider Stepan line the top line and try to match Hedman/Stralman against them.
Yeah before that goal the third period in game 5 looked similar to the one in game 4. Honestly, we need to work on that. The amount of push back we get when leading in the 3rd seems to be league bigger than the amount of push back other teams get by us when leading in the 3rd.
had to quote this nevesis quote....still cant believe we are here...

Hedman and Stralman will be very, very effective.
I think our forwards will be able to skate better against TB's forwards, but those 2 on D are better than any pair we've played so far, so the other lines are going to have to be especially ready to pick up the slack.
The problem there is that Tampa will most assuredly score more than the Caps did. We're going to need more than 2 goals a game if we want to win this series.
This is true. But even if it wasn't and the Rangers were demolished like some Caps fans would lead you to believe, why does it matter?
Also, how good is this GIF. Slats is hilarious, he looks like a proud grandpa the way he's smiling. "We had 'em the whole time!"
Also love Jeff Gorton off the right going nuts and hugging Schonfeld.
And yet in Game 5 we did to the Caps (and in other games to other teams, remember the big come back when Duclair scored his only goal?) what no team has done to us. 40-0-1 in the 41 games where we led going into the third period.
There's never enough pseudo-psychology.I've been meditating recently on the differences in perception that's created by disappointment vs relief.
Disappointment is negative. It's what we feel when a scoring chance doesn't go in when we are trailing. That negative emotion changes our perception of that scoring chance and makes us adjust our assessment of the quality of the chance downward.
Relief is positive. It's what we feel when a scoring chance for our opponent doesn't go in when we are winning. That positive emotion changes our perception of that scoring chance and makes us adjust our assessment of the quality of the chance upward.
I believe that explains a lot of what Snowblind is asking about. It also reminds me of a West Wing quote. "Did you know that studies show that people who describe themselves as politically committed only react to political issues with the emotional centers of the brain?" I think the analogy works here too. Ranger diehards only react with the emotional centers of the brain, at least while the games are being played and especially in the playoffs.
It's late. Is that enough pseudo-psychology for you guys?

Slats seems like someone who'd be a ****ing riot to hang out with.
Ugh, why is this game at 1PM on Saturday?
When time is spent nearly exclusively at one end of the ice, it's domination. The angles of the shots are irrelevant, because lots of goals are scored on deflections and luck.
There were stretches where the Rangers were literally gasping for air, as were almost all of the viewers.
The notion that someone never worried they might lose in OT is more an indicator of something other than understanding the possibilities of one bad bounce.
