Post-Game Talk: Tampa Bay Lightning at New York Rangers Game 5 (Lightning Lead 3-2)

[2Leetch_94]

At least if the Rangers lose G6, this can be the last game at home. Fitting end to another postseason run. The scoring goes MIA. Tip: It's impossible to win games when scoring zero goals, just thought the team should know.

TB with the better defensive effort. And that's the end of the story.

Rangers play their best when their backs are against the wall. We suck ass at home unless its a game 7. We'll still win the series.

That is true. It just is. Pls RANGERS !!!

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Well that was pathetic. About the easiest shutout you'll see in an eastern conference final. Somebody should tell the Rangers as they played like it was the second night of back to backs in November. Pretty disturbing that is the effort they had for a game of this magnitude. Hopefully they are as embarrassed as I am.

One of Bishop's easiest games this playoffs. Outside a few bits of epic pressure in the 3rd, his night was easy as hell, and this guy is clearly injured.

Disgusting effort. Is it a culture thing that we don't have any sort of killer instinct? Would it kill us to make it easier on ourselves by winning these games rather than forcing us to win 2 in a row?

I just don't get why we struggle so hard with this all the damn time, and it was no different under Torts either. It's depressing and a **** result for my dad's birthday.

Bummer about this game. I wouldn't say the series is over, but I ****ing hate the mindset of our players, the coaching staff, and the overall team as a whole. It's infuriating we can't win these games.

 

[ImIdaho]

**** game.

Refs miss the most blatant ****ing hook I've ever seen and then have the ****ing audacity to put Brass in the box after.

Would it have changed anything if we were on the PP?

Unpopular Opinion:

The Lightning might just be a better team.

We'll see when the west wipes the ice with them in four. That's right I said it! They are gonna get SWEPT!

 

[trilobyte]

From an altruistic perspective, arena revenues are maxed in Rangers series.
It helps with employment.
Rangers playing? Book for 7 games.

 

[94wasagoodyear]

That is true. It just is. Pls RANGERS !!!

Our luck has run out. I cant see TB laying an egg at their place like we just did tonight

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

It'd be nice if someone, AV or one of the players, called out the referees. Make them ****ing accountable for this ****. Make them ****ing think the next time Tampa commits an obvious penalty. Make people alert to this embarrassing officiating.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

It's time for McDonagh to not play like a burning trash bag on skates. Let alone talk even more **** to the media.

O ya cuz all the goals against are his fault??????

One factor in every goal they scored tonight: MARC STAAL

The first goal he was so indecisive he just stood and watched stammer make the pass and watched they score.

The second goal he took the most ******** penalty of life... Seriously idk if Kreider would be that stupid.

 

[NewLife]

How the **** do you rebound and travel back to Florida after this brilliant showdown? Might as well bring some extra luggage for this one.

quoted for truth

this might be the end of the line

 

[truebluegoalie]

Rangers in seven?

 

[mike14]

that has nothing to do with whether they are better than the Rangers...

 

[RiceCooker]

Rick Nash is such a tease.

 

[bigbluebird]

Rongos in 7

 

[KOVALEV022473]

TB is the better team....

Im never gonna see this organization win a championship in my lifetime.

You keep telling yourself this. You're gonna feel worse when they get destroyed in the finals.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Would it have changed anything if we were on the PP?

It would have been some justice.

It's twice as bad since we played like crap and the refs ****ing stuck it our face.

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

With how this team is, you just know they'll win this series in 7 games

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Skipped out on a hot date tonight for this.

To be fair, if the girl has any potential, she'll understand immediately that you're not going to miss a game of this magnitude unless something severe comes up.

First star of the game - The MSG ice crew.

And I will continue to say it as long as others accuse a team 2 wins from the Final of having no heart.

 

[Mac n Gs]

I know it's hard to be optimistic, but remember what this team did last series. They're resilient as ****, and Tampa has to beat Hank in an elimination game. We just need to focus on Tuesday and get a win. I believe in this team. They're not done yet.

 

[trilobyte]

That's the thing about which is the 'better' team.
Mostly always, I think the Rangers are the better team, but if they don't win, they are not the better team.
The better team is the one that wins.

Until the next game, where we once again do not know for sure who the better team is, til the final whistle goes. Then we know.

They have heart. Brains on the other hand....
