Cool out.

Rangers gave up two goals because guys fell down. Outplayed the Lightning for another two periods (in addition to all 3 in Game 1) before they fell apart in the 3rd. Yep, shitting.

Played like a junior hockey team yesterday. Guys falling down. sloppy passing, missed open shots. I expect a big effort game 3. Save the depends for clyde/morty/arletta or whatever ever pen name freak they go by for when Baffert lifts that Belmont trophy for AP!

The best thing they can do is forget this game ever happened - there was nothing to take away from it, other than you can simply NOT take penalties against Tampa - they will make you pay...Surprised they didn't learn that from the Habs series.
I agree, Tom - I expect a huge effort from them as well in Tampa. Gut check time for both teams. Tampa tends to play a little too loose early in the game following a big win, NYR needs to come out blazing and not let up. 0-0 at the start of the 2nd period will spell big trouble.

You're delusional. But that's ok.

The rangers fans are ignoring the big elephant in the room. They are going to need score to more than 2 goals a game to beat the Lightning. The Lightning are going to get goals in this series so the Rangers offense has to pick it up or they will be in trouble.

OK buddy. If you're gonna tell me the Lightning have had more than one great period so far this series, I want what you're puffing on. That game would've been 2-1 Rangers going into the 3rd if Marty and Staal didn't slip on banana peels in open ice.

Joey, I'm not going to try and quantify this because it's senseless. The Lightning have had plenty of opportunity and the same goes for the Rangers. It's the two best teams in the East, for crying out loud.

What cannot be skewed, massaged or polished, is the fact that your goalie has given up 22 goals in 5 games to the Lightning this season. In contrast, Bishop has surrendered 11 in those same 5 games.

When your goalie is averaging giving up 4.4 goals a game, you need to score more than 2 goals to be in the discussion, no matter how pretty you want to believe your team is playing.

One thing I can see after watching both games...going to be fun series to watch

Made it through second OT of epic Hawks-Ducks Game 2 and was glad to look at score 4 hrs of sleep later...Both charters haven't even landed in Chicago yet and puck drop just 36 hrs way. Hawks core 4 man D rotation was an issue even before Keith, Seabrook, etc played 50-60 minutes last night this morning. Guess that 9 day layoff between series wasn't such a bad thing after all..

* Actual D Line minutes:

Duncan Keith played 49:51, Brent Seabrook 47:56 and Niklas Hjalmarsson 47:35, while Kyle Cumiskey and Kimmo Timonen played a combined 35:19.

Well if they would allow soccer moves in Hockey then they could had save 20 minutes.

why they traded for a 40 something who logs the least amount of minutes on the back line and they don't even trust him to play in the clutch.......is beyond me.

old man looks lost out there
