Crazy this series is following the way of both of the Ranger's previous series. The next game is going to be extremely interesting. No hockey tonight. What will I do with my time?

With the exception of some of Trouba's antics (which I'm not re-starting with you just stating my opinion here), the Rangers are a well-coached, hard-nosed team, with talent and speed to go with them. Fox is a stud...not Makar-level but still, damn good. And well, you know and I know what you have in Breadman. Gallant is a great coach...Expect this series to now go 7...

ON PAPER, I thought the Bolts would prevail but now with Point out...I think NY has a chance and personally, I am rooting for your Rangers. Want to see an Avs/Rangers Final.
I really feel we are playing ahead of the curve, if not this year, within the next few we should have a good chance to win. Obviously, I would like it sooner than later, I'm 60 and they have won once in my lifetime & 2x in my Dads, he died at 87. That is pitiful.

But, yes...greatly improve chances of series success if you win the pivotal Game 5 at home in basically a best of 3 now.




ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?!??!?

Yeah the TNT crew was definitely better than ESPN. Which is saying a lot cause I thought the entire crew was almost pro Edmonton.

Close game.

Entertaining for me with no skin in the game but probably nerve-wracking for you, cabby.

It's ESPN, first they kept harping that Big "cat" V has not allowed a 5 on 5 in 90 or something minutes. Then they keep talking about posts hit, including one late in the 2nd when it really hit the side of the net.

Fox, Strome & Kreider are all not themselves. Injuries happen to all teams so it is what it is.

Still 2 more chances. Alot harder now to win 2 straight against the Champs...but, it's doable.

K...yeah, must be an injury. Something's off about Fox's game as he's so usually noticeable. Almost a Makar Lite...so, really darn good.

Damn I didn't see that coming. I really thought that was the Rangers game and it was going to OT before that.

Was really pulling for two teams to play for the cup that haven't been there in forever.

Now you want to Minority Report hockey hits?

COMEON MAN!

The difference in this series is the Lightning have made the bounces & the Rangers not. Hopefully those two goals from a person that does not score will show the Rangers what I have been screaming at my TV for decades. PUT THE FUCKING PUCK ON THE NET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fancy passing is great, except when the other team is clogging the lanes and miraculously the pass gets through but the receiver misses the shot (Strome)

Yeah...saw that. Palat was lucky to duck it in time or he'd be in concussion protocol or even worse.

Trouba can be an effective player without these sort of antics.

Or have had to crawl on the ice and get his team penalized because the refs wouldn't blow the play down


This is a pattern, and a disturbing one.


Trouba elbowed a lightning player in the head in game 2 of this series also but I can't find the video

I agree with Yummy, he's a good player but these antics are ridiculous

Igor has been brilliant BUT that was not an acceptable shot to let in.

Rangers have no urgency & they can't grasp their passing game is not working.

Jesus. Seems to me he was in the paint when he knocked it in so it should not be a goal but at this point I'm ready to not care about Avs VS TB
