Time to even this fucking series up, boys. A win puts us back in the driver's seat and wipes away the last two horrorshows.

Time for Henrik and the D to atone for their sins of the past two debacles. Come out crisp and take back home ice by force. This fucking team is NOT better than us.


Let's fucking go, boys. Fear the fucking beard.


Lets go Rangers
Fuck yeah

Victor in CT : 5/22/2015 8:27 am : link
with this team and win. Seems as though they read all the previews saying that Tampa's style would allow them to use their speed and skill more than PIT and WAS and they would win easily. Except that Tampa is too fast and skilled for them. And they finish. The Rangers have to be the defensive minded team in this series, slow down the pace and keep Tampa from turning it into a track meet again or they will be out by Sunday.

Every team we play in a playoff series gets annoying in certain ways after a couple games but the "Triplets" are really starting to piss me the fuck off. That little dweeb Johnson, especially. Someone needs to lay him the fuck out and keep him completely out of the crease.

I won't accept losing to this team. Fuck that.

How is 3 men deep with two forwards pushing the centerman to the corner and shortening the ice for the RF silly when Tampa's offense is going right up the middle, literally using a give and go with the LF crashing the net for rebound?

The current system is the one which is silly b/c Tampa is finding a free man with defenders searching for somebody to cover.

For some reason it seems when i follow the game thread on BBI and turn the tv off the Rangers do much better.... i missed the first 10 minutes wed and we were up 2-0... i then turned on and watched to the 3rd period and we went down...shut game off and we tied it up and then i turned it on in OT and we lost.... I also watched all of game 2 and we got destroyed..and game 1 I missed because i was out of town and we won... hmmmmmmmmm.... I will tape the game and follow tonight on this thread......once again, i know...this is stupid... but i want to win..

I don't know what the hell is wrong with him, and he's hardly the only guy not playing well, but he's the key guy if they're going to turn things around. Defensive lapses are absolutely killing them, and Girardi is clearly too slow to play a major role in shutting down the Triplet line. McD has got to get his shit together and play like the Norris candidate he was last season.

another point is that I absolutely cannot believe that we've given up 3 breakaway goals because people at the point have given up possession by essentially falling down.

good period

keep it up in 2nd
At least AV is mostly rolling out the Staal/Girardi pairing  
Anakim : 5/22/2015 8:47 pm : link
Smart adjustment, but get St. Louis off the fucking power play. I'd rather have Tanner Glass than Marty at this point. It's gotten that bad
Nash had that same chance the other night  
Kyle in NY : 5/22/2015 8:48 pm : link
And just fired a weak wrister. No doubt he saw that on film and they drilled it into his head to drive to the net and get to the backhand. Awesome
Now we can't see a different 2nd period ... need to stay tight  
baadbill : 5/22/2015 8:48 pm : link
on D and especially need better play between the blue lines and stop that fucking TB rush into the Ranger zone. Some scary moments, but a fucking good period for the Rangers coming off the last two games!

That scares me too. If they go into a shell Tampa will score on us. We need to keep play in their zone, forecheck like crazy, and keep looking to score. Make them play defense too.

Give those two a few hits

I'd keep flipping the puck at Bishop too. The more shot the better b/c he's been sloppy and slow the entire series. He's just so big the puck hits him and he has a glove. Lot of rebounds and he's slow IMO.

Also Tampa has to be questioning Bishop, who hasn't looked good at all the last two games. We could chase Bishop with a quick start in Game 5. I was surprised how poorly Tampa reacted to losing because they weren't the ones facing adversity being ahead in the series. Now they're going to face a boatload of it

PaulBlakeTSU : 5/23/2015 12:07 am : link
if you wanted to script a Game 4 to turn around NY's fortunes, you couldn't have written it much better than tonight. Two goals from Nash, a goal from Marty, and several fantastic saves by Henrik. Hopefully this takes some pressure off of the three of them-- Nash and MSL for not being the goal scorers we have needed them to be, and Henrik for having two really bad games in a row (and a season of Tampa having his number). The only thing missing was several blocked shots and stout defense by Ryan McD.

The only drawback is that Tampa's attack was dominant for many stretches of the game. Being thoroughly out-shot is not a recipe for long-term success. The Rangers defense has to do a better job of preventing Tampa from getting so many great attacking opportunities.

press conference with John Cooper and one of the reporters asked him what he thought of the 2nd period ...Cooper's expression immediately changed and he was clearly ill prepared to answer the question. He then turned it around on the reporter and asked him the very same question not once but twice in a wise-ass tone. He gave zero credit to the Rangers and essentially called them lucky. His response tells me that he belived the Rangers had no chance and had no business being on the same ice as his squad.

The most nauseating thing about it was how he was just lamenting over his guys missing wide open shots in the first five minutes. Cry me a river. Part of sports is execution, Tampa executed really well in games 2 and 3, they didn't in 1 and 4 and thus the series is 2-2 pal.

Like that again. Tampa pushed their shit in during the second. Hit a few posts, etc. they definitely got unlucky.

I'm hoping that this game makes Tampa retreat to a more defensive style which prevents their forwards from hanging.

Heard Yandle was dealing with a separated shoulder for awhile. That 'sounds' believable. He's been our best defenseman this series.

arcarsenal : 5/23/2015 12:17 pm : link
Anyway. Massive win. This team absolutely had to have this one and they took care of business decisively.

Nash and Marty heard us, apparently. Nash did exactly what a few of us had kept noting had been missing from his game. He was just settling for the bad angle shot over and over. This time, on the first goal, he forced his way in towards the net and made a play using his size and his hands.

Good job by Henke to get back on track and just a good game by the boys overall. It's amazing to me how quickly people who have watched this team keep counting them out at the first sign of trouble. Then again, maybe they really haven't watched this team and just hopped on once the playoffs started. In any event, this is just such a resilient team.

Now we've got to take Game 5 and put them on the ropes. Lots of work to do. But last night was huge. Just really love how we responded and how we played. Hopefully Nash and Marty really get going a little bit now. Especially Nash.

Gave up a few soft "posts" last night too before he got back on his game.
Adjustments  
Torrag : 5/23/2015 1:04 pm : link
Hank made a couple subtle changes last night. He was slightly 'higher' in his crease which takes away more of the upper net which the Lightning are very good at sniping. He also made himself 'bigger' by being more upright which had the same effect of taking away more of the top half of the net.

Defensively we did a better job of handling their slashing at the net on set plays especially on the backside. There were still some missed assignments but overall the coverage was improved. As the series progresses and we acclimate I expect we'll continue to cut down on their quality scoring chances. The lightning had a lot of shots but they weren't of the same grade as games 2 and 3.

Finally we were more physical and in their skating lanes which disrupted their flow. We took away time and space more effectively. That has to continue as they are lethal when they get North/South with speed.

The coaching staff is doing the right things and you have to love the Rangers commitment to studying their opponent and altering our strategy to fit the opponent. We're mentally tough and battle tested. That will be the difference in this series when all is said and done.

Hank made a couple subtle changes last night. He was slightly 'higher' in his crease which takes away more of the upper net which the Lightning are very good at sniping. He also made himself 'bigger' by being more upright which had the same effect of taking away more of the top half of the net.

Defensively we did a better job of handling their slashing at the net on set plays especially on the backside. There were still some missed assignments but overall the coverage was improved. As the series progresses and we acclimate I expect we'll continue to cut down on their quality scoring chances. The lightning had a lot of shots but they weren't of the same grade as games 2 and 3.

Finally we were more physical and in their skating lanes which disrupted their flow. We took away time and space more effectively. That has to continue as they are lethal when they get North/South with speed.

The coaching staff is doing the right things and you have to love the Rangers commitment to studying their opponent and altering our strategy to fit the opponent. We're mentally tough and battle tested. That will be the difference in this series when all is said and done.


On the ice you could see the Lightning panic a little bit when Henrik became Henrik again and some of the free entries to the Rangers zone were taken away (although there were still too many in the 2nd period). Cooper through all his bravado and arrogance in his press conference is shitting bricks and hopefully AV and the boys see it
hah.

No doubt, agree with this. They have been using Periscope between periods and he is great on there too. In fact, more candid and free wheeling.
