Hank's rebound control has been non-existent so far. You knew they were going to score off of one of those types of plays.

Wasn't really a true rebound though. It was more of a weird whiff/blocked shot that trickled to the side and made a bounce onto the stick of Stamkos.

Watching a couple of replays just now, yeah, he probably should have tracked it better.

We're doing better these last few minutes. We've been a little lucky in this period, honestly. We still haven't properly made the adjustment that we're actually against a team that is virtually as fast as we are. We had this problem with both the Bolts and Islanders during the regular season. We're so used to being so much faster than opponents that playing teams nearly as fast as us really messes with our timing. Guys are holding the puck trying to make skill plays in places where they shouldn't, especially in our own zone.

Against a team like this it HAS to be simple, otherwise they'll catch up to you and force a mistake.

Looks like not quite as big a crowd as in the Stanley Cup Final, but pretty good for a surprisingly cool Wednesday evening.

Derick Brassard just the 2nd Ranger ever w/ at least 10 points in the playoffs in three consecutive years. The other: Mark Messier #NYR
Brass is so good come playoff time. Nobody could have known that would be the case when we made that trade.

JT is cursed in these playoffs. He can NOT hit the net, regardless of the circumstances.




Why is Carl Hagelin on the point? :D

AV is a stubborn stubborn asshole. MSL and Boyle, really? every single PP

I don't understand it.

Put the Stepan line out there, McDonagh with Yandle, Staal with Klein. Use the Brass line as a second unit if necessary. Maybe Nash will actually score then. Stop makig the power play this mythical beast.

Lightning announced Carle will not return to the game.


We're about to give the Lightning all the momentum back and a tie game after controlling the bulk of the period thus far.

Nash and Yandle were among the TOP PP Scorers LEAGUE WIDE. And they don't even get PP time. The 5 on 3 to start game 2 it is inexcusable not to play them especially with what ended up happening.
