Post-Game Talk: New York Rangers at Tampa Bay Lightning Game 4 (Series Tied 2-2)

[SnowblindNYR]

That was better.

Really good third period.

The Caps look more mentally strong than the Lightning. Rangers take a a quick 4-1 lead in game 6, Caps make it 4-3 and outplay the Rangers. Rangers do that in this game and Tampa gives up.

Great stuff. Love the way Hank rebounded in this game, 2nd period when the team really needed him to be, he was awesome.

Goals from Nash, MSL and Kreider? That's just what we need. Keep rolling and beat these clowns on Sunday.

Have a great weekend fellas, I know I will after a win like this!

 

[Filip Chytil]

Who was it that said Hank is mentally shot?

Think I was one of them! Right here folks! I'm happy to own it and eat some crow!

 

[Mr Clutch]

Lol at the multitude of people saying start talbot...

 

[Pizza]

Finally a comfortable win.

Great to see guys score and play well that needed to.

 

[bmoak]

That's what we call a bounceback game back in the old country.

 

[trilobyte]

Okely-Dokely
Heading home tied up
It's a fine start to the weekend!

 

[Thunderhead]

Is Cooper going to vomit again ? Btw , I did not watch the game because I was stubborn .

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Three goals from MSL and Nash is huge. Yandle has been heating up. Looking promising right now. Take the lead on home ice and close out these ****ers in their building.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Still some clean up defensively is needed but I'll take the win. Klein's play is concerning.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Yandle was the best player on the ice tonight not wearing a mask.

He doesn't dish out big hits brah he sucks.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

That was better.

Really good third period.

Yup. As I said in the GDT: weather the storm, counter punch, let our best player be the best player.

Step 3 = profit.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Game 5 is going to tell all. Tampa has had a few stinkers throughout the playoffs but have come out flying the next game every time.

 

[chosen]

Good thing Bernmeister didn't get the chance to pick the Rangers goalie tonight.

 

[Doctyl]

Hank, Nash, MSL and Yandle were great tonight. We need our stars to perform like this. Big game from Hayes too.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

The Caps look more mentally strong than the Lightning. Rangers take a a quick 4-1 lead in game 6, Caps make it 4-3 and outplay the Rangers. Rangers do that in this game and Tampa gives up.

Yeah, that was interesting. Tampa literally just gave up.

 

[CDiablo]

Team still needs to work on defense. 2nd period was an abomination for the most part. Hopefully Bishop is shook and the King is feeling confident. This series is ours to take.

 

[Ail]

Winners! Need to keep that momentum going.

 

[Riverdale]

Nash
Hank
Yandle

 

[GraveyTrain9]

Lundqvist, Yandle, & Nash were all superb tonight.

Marty much better as well

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Also, why are our 2nd periods so bad as a whole?

 

[Atax]

Nash, Hank, Yandle. HM Glass.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

So... Baby Sinclair?

 

[Mikos87]

John Tortorella was on Canadian Radio and TV today and said Hank is the mentally toughest athlete he's ever coached.

Said he'd bounce back in a big way and he did. Atta boy Hank.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Difference with Hank in this game was that he far better rebound control, better reads on pucks, far better composure on shots.

A HUGE indicator when Hank is on NOT on his game is his timing on collapsing into the butterfly. Last game he was dropping WAY too early which was giving a massive target on the top left corner. This game, being far more patient, he didn't give Tampa much to shoot.

Hank is still atrocious on the puck handling but thats just who he is. Nothing you can do about that unless AV kinda tells him to back off...

When Hank runs into problems its almost completely mental. He showed he has the ability to be accountable after a terrible performance and step up..
