Post-Game Talk: Tampa Bay Lightning at New York Rangers Game 2 (Series Tied 1-1)

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong.

I don't even think we played that badly.

Their d zone coverage was absolutely putrid and they handled the puck like a hand grenade. But yea other than that things were fine.

As I said earlier, put it in the back pocket and move on.

5on5 I think the Rangers played well, Tampa haven't created much outside their PP's in both games.
Stop taking dumb penalties and we have a good chance.

 

[IAMREALITY]

Anyone else getting bad feed from NBC SN near the latter half of the game?

Game is freezing and I cannot even watch, keeps freezing

Nope, mine was fine. But trust me, consider yourself lucky lol.

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

What a goofy game.

Both Ranger goals scored on the power play.

three TB goals scored on the power play. One scored just after a power play ended. Another scored on our 5-3 power play (?).

Their one even strength goal was a breakaway caused by Staal wiping out.

Message - enough with the damn power plays. Don't take stupid penalties.

And Hank - I didn't think he was so bad. Were any of the goals really bad goals? I can't remember. He made the first save on both breakaways.

 

[Machinehead]

This game was over the moment decided Staal would be on Johnson, even though McDonagh was in game 1 and we won that game.

People say AV is stubborn and doesn't adjust, but it's adjustments for the sake of adjustments that keep biting him.

We didn't play all that badly. They took their chances and we didn't. That 5 on 3 was a kick in the nuts.

That's the problem. I'm not worried about getting chances against this team. The team can't finish. I think 6-2 is about right. Their finishing ability is easily 3 times better than ours. The offense on this team is a complete and utter joke.

Yup huge difference if we score there. Totally different game. When you give up a goal like that you know you're not winning the game

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

My **** list:

1. St. Louis
2. Nash
3. Yandle
4. Staal
5. Boyle/Klein
7. Sheppard

Keith Jones is absolutely giving it to the Rangers, and he's absolutely right.

Yeah , 5 min or so I didn't get anything . Black screen................

 

[failure]

Oh Keith Jones lol...

 

[Trxjw]

Rangers beat themselves again. Sloppy, no finish, and a lack of discipline. Real shame.

 

[LittleKev6D9]

Lundqvist will only give up 16 goals MAX this series. They Lightning only have 9 more to use. Better choose wisely.

(Please know that almost everyone of my posts oozes sarcasm.)

 

[CJCNYR]

How exactly was Hank "awful"

2nd chance on rebound breakaway

absolute snipe from about 8 feet away.

3 on 1 lead to 2nd chance goal.


Cross ice pass to wide open guy.

Deflection tip with no chance.

wide open goal on putback.

He wasn't exactly great in net but how was the game awful? The defense was awful.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

I'm not entire happy with this team. I just wish we had a bigger team out there. A team without Tanner Glass, and Nash scoring goals will be a huge threat. But whatever. Okay goodnight guys time to do my paper.

 

[PromNite]

My prediction was that the Rangers and Bolts would face off in the ECF, before we even won the PT. It's looking like my predictions for this ECF will also be correct. We haven't lost like that in the playoffs in a long time. We just got embarrassed.

For the record: my other prediction? Hawks win WCF and beat either one of us or the Bolts.

 

[KingP]

MSL needs a wheelchair

Nash looks like he would rather be golfing

These are our star forwards lol

We cant win with them playing like this

Other guys had a bad night but at least they step up sometimes

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I want to be mad, but I'm just not. I don't know why.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Why are we the worst Game 2 team in the history of organized sports? lol

 

[Nixo]

the team gained some serious knowledge tonight...

 

[darko]

Keith Jones is absolutely giving it to the Rangers, and he's absolutely right.

I turned it off the moment the horn sounded. What's he saying?

We didn't need size tonight. We needed to execute better, not turn the puck over, and stay out of the box..

I caught on to that.
I got a bit hot-headed when people were dumping on Staal, but I do understand what you were talking about.
In Game 1 Staal was mostly keying on Stamkos.

Hawks'll not beat the Ducks imo .
