They've lost every fucking game you've posted this you piece of shit.

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.

Driving from West Palm while MAB sits his undedicated ass at home.

This might as well be our season.

Hopefully we make the proper adjustments and respond in kind.

Must win

.

D!

Let's win the next 3.

that down 3-1 to WASH that the Rangers would come back. I don't have any optimism if they lose tonight they will come back. Just win tonight baby!

.

and skullfuck these Florida trashbags.

this is an elimination game today. Henrik needs to be sharp and as long as we cut down on the stupid turnover and penalties, we win.

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.

No more fooling around. Time for the best team in hockey to start acting like it again.

Let's play some D!

I believe in redbeard.
LET'S GO RANGERS!!!!!

to counter Tampa just as Yzerman's wings used to counter opponents.

It's just hockey. :)

I was going to mention that the two line pass was eliminated a decade ago and that pretty much neutralized the concept, but that seems silly.

The real Henrik Lundqvist will be in the net for the rest of this series.

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.

but as Mook would say "some are real superstitious" anyways I am gonna take one for the team and not watch the game live tonight... 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..

Stupid doesn't begin to cover it. Support hockey. Watch the game.

I'll be in Charlotte, NC all weekend for memorial day weekend Brettsky. Thanks for your thoughts.

When I'm not home in Florida we're 6-0 this postseason. So... hope?

(i put $60 on TBL tonight)

Putting money on the other team.. fuckin' brutal.

Anyway. NYR have won the last 3 series' they trailed 2-1. (WSH 2013, PIT 2014, WSH 2015)

Just find a way.

missed the FG because I went in other room... just saying!!!

wasn't slam-packed with events, MAB, I'd try to organize a Rangers viewing for the charlotte area BBI'ers.

As it is, I have to rely on the generosity of friends to watch the game tonight since we will be at their house for dinner tonight. I'm going to gently, then very aggressively ask for the game to be shown.

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.

with my personality, I have to fend people off with a stick.

Charisma is a fucking bitch.

Hope you get to enjoy the Speed Street festivities then. Nothing like bankers/rednecks mixing it up while listening to the music of Styx

I'm so sorry.

Happens like three times a week.

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.

I just can't believe the frequency of it. Fuck - I'm still wrapping my head around giving up a goal while on a 5-3 advantage!

Tavares and Okposo have a band?

The D should be switched up. Girardi is way too slow for that line.

you tease.

It is:

"Dennis DeYoung and the music of Styx"!

That's why I said the music of Styx and not just Styx. All the Tommy led songs are better anyway.

I picture DeYoung as a 70 year old with a perm and a cheesy moustache?

a Journey tribute band, a G&R tribute band. Captain Perm and the music of Styx and some guy they have to actually callout that he's the Winner of the Voice.

I'm pretty sure that's what he looked like the last time I saw him play at Speed Street, which was like 8 years ago.

From the top line of the Bolts
Johnson's coming down the wing
And G is much too slow
