GDT: ECF #1 - 05/16/15 | Tampa Bay Lightning @ New York Rangers | 1:00 - NBC, CBC

Understood with how many days they've had off, and the loss of Boyle juggles the lines a bit.

Only 3 days off, right?

I think you are right that they need B Boyle. They look flustered out there.

Tampa only had 1 more day off than the Rangers.

There's no way we are going into prevent D after seeing that 3rd period in Washington in game 6.

There are Lightning fans that can make excuses for their team and discredit the Rangers. I don't know why you're doing it. We juggled our lines for this game too and are missing Zucc.

I ****ing love the salt on the mainboards. The Tampa fans are cool but the Pens, Devils, Islander fans are hilarious

Those main board Tampa fans sure were arrogant, herr durr they will it skate the Rangers by a lot.

Boyle isn't anything special and won't make or break things. I have an idea of what they can do that would probably work but I'm sure as hell not going to type it here. All I need is for someone to read it and we lose

Surprised how much tb defense has turned over the puck so far. Far more then the pens and caps. Also our forecheck has been better so I'm sure that's helped

 

[nevesis]

This really isn't much different than how they normally play in their own end.

They've been very mistake prone all season.

They're also a very young and playoff inexperienced team.

Need to take advantage and just win these home games. It won't be easy, they have enough firepower to change the course of a game in an instant.

Someone remind AV.

 

[aufheben]

I don't see Brian Boyle all of the sudden changing the complexion of this team.

 

[TheDirtyH]

I'm nervous for the third. I hope we keep the pedal on the gas, at least for the first half. This is NOT a team to sit on a one goal lead against.

 

[trilobyte]

Some times with the Rangers, I saw an obvious change in strategy in the 3rd when leading.
For example seeing 2 men in on the forecheck change to 1 man in. That signals to me an obvious strategy change. More often I see less intensity. Does AV tell them to continue but "don't go as hard" or something like that?
I just think it can be the players too, not necessarily AV's command. I am not there, so do not know.

They had one extra day off?

We'll see. It shouldn't happen but we'll see.

It would be silly to do consider this team has more fire power than the Caps. And the Caps almost came back...

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Btw, someone should start a new thread for the 3rd period. Almost at 1000 replies for this thread.

 

[nevesis]

Kreider sneaky.

 

[Miamipuck]

Yes, cannot take Brian Boyle out of their lineup and not see an effect. How long will his wife be in labour?

2 weeks I hope.

 

[Raspewtin]

Just watched the replay of the goal, Fast was just standing in the slot, wasn't even moving, and both Tampa d-men zeroed in on him. That's just terrible defense. More Sustr and Carle pls.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Brassard is leading us in hits?
