Uh oh.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Stamkos taking a brilliant penalty to get Cally on the ice.

MY CAPTAIN

 

[zroid]

Bishop gets the 2nd assist

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

No shutout for Hank. No smoothies for anyone.

 

[MetatronM]

This shift is literally the first time I can recall hearing St. Louis' name called in this game.

2 will not be enough. Stay on them, don't be stupid, guys.

 

[zroid]

man the Bolts offence looks so so much better in this series than it did against the Wings and Habs. I don't know how much of that is just the Rangers giving them too much space and how much is just they've sorted out their issues.

 

[FTF]

Rangers need to shoot more. Yeah 2 goals but only 7 damn shots!

 

[LJ11]

Kreider is so fucking dumb. Whole sequence was sad.

Stralman killing us with his passes.

 

[MetatronM]

The good news is that that period was virtually all Lightning, and they're still losing.

 

[Killing_Joke]

While im pissed about the miscall but thats the 2nd or 3rd goal Kreider cost us. That's unacceptable. We should be 2-0 cruising into the second. They need that 3rd goal fast.

 

[RangersFan]

I will not put that on CK at all. What he did is fine. It was a weak call, preceded by a missed call on Stamkos. The reffing is so fucking horrible. The NHL reffing is so nauseatingly bad. That entire sequence is just so infuriating. It's not an NHL game without the refs putting their stamp on it as usual.

 

[LJ11]

Kreider is just a dumb player, wouldn't be fair for god to gift him a brain. Just dumb.

Edit: Refs missed the call, but Stamkos took another run and got bodied, no reason to crosscheck the guy. Refs didn't catch the first guy but they caught the retaliation, which is often the case.

 

[ZeroGravity]

I guess I missed it, but Staal went PK Subban on Kucherov's wrist and he looked in pain at the end of the period:

COGGLEANNY!

who the fuck is working these text graphics :lol :lol

 

[zroid]

Thank god for those Irish guys Boyle and Callahan

Only God truly knows his intent.

Amusingly, considering how much Dan Boyle and Keith Yandle have been shit on, well, here are your top 5 leading scorers for the Rangers in these playoffs as of right now:

1) Derick Brassard - 13 pts
2) Derek Stepan - 12 pts
3) Rick Nash - 10 pts
3) Dan Boyle - 10 pts
3) Keith Yandle - 10 pts

 

[FTF]

Already sweating this period :/

 

[MetatronM]

Same old story. We get in the zone, one shot, done and back out.

Note it's the 2 players who are near even on goals and assists that are the top 2.

 

[MetatronM]

Rangers second goal has apparently been changed to Yandle from Brassard and Nash. Guess they decided it was Brown who hit it after all.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Stamkos covering up for Carle's mistake.

 

[MetatronM]

We're settling into our game a little bit better. These last few minutes have been much more Rangers-like.

 

[ZeroGravity]

That was some weak ass call.

 

[FTF]

Come on Rangers, do something on this power play.

 

[RangersFan]

Make up call. I'll take it but NHL reffing lol

 

[MetatronM]

That was some weak ass call.

I try not to get wound up about officiating these days. I really do.

 

[RangersFan]

I love how they called the makeup after a breakout pass spring Nash too, love this NHL reffing lol

 

[richiek]

"Yankees suck?" Seriously Tampa fans?

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Refgers

 

[ZeroGravity]

I try not to get wound up about officiating these days. I really do.

It's hard not to lol

 

[FTF]

Nope, another shitty power play...sigh.

 

[MetatronM]

If Brian fucking Boyle scored right there I was just going to leave and go to a strip club or something. No other options.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Lundqvist definitely on his game tonight. Might need a lucky bounce to get this tied up.

 

[MetatronM]

Classic Stralman shot to the logo.

 

[FTF]

That could have been a penalty.

 

[MetatronM]

That could have been a penalty.

Hits in the numbers on Rangers players have not been a penalty literally all playoffs long.

 

[zroid]

The Stralman-Hedman pairing makes me feel emotions

 

[FTF]

Staal stop turning the damn puck over in your zone!

 

[MetatronM]

I don't think we've had a shot on goal since the alleged power play.

 

[~Kinggi~]

I don't think we've had a shot on goal since the alleged power play.

better break out the RUM

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Oh shit I didn't realize this is already an elimination game for the Rangers.

 

[FTF]

I don't think we've had a shot on goal since the alleged power play.

Yup, and only 12 shots total...pathetic. Shoot more Rangers!

 

[emrober5]

Tampa has been outplaying the Rangers for almost two full periods but this is still looking like a loss.

 

[ZeroGravity]

They've played such an amazing period and now they're going to throw it all away.

 

[FTF]

Finally some pressure!

 

[MetatronM]

Great shift sets up a wonderful opportunity for the power play to piss it all away.

 

[zroid]

 

[FTF]

Fuuuuu
