NFT: Game 5: Tampa Bay Lightning vs New York Rangers gamethread

redbeard : 5/24/2015 9:06 am
Here we go, boys. Back to the garden for a best of three. The 5-1 beat down was beautiful to watch but it's time to turn the page and take another fucking step towards finishing the job we didn't last year.

No let downs today...put more doubt in tampa's head and grab the series by the throat

Lets fucking go, boys. Fear the fucking Beard,

LETS GO RANGERS

blaming Hank for that?  
MetsAreBack : 5/24/2015 9:27 pm : link
seriously?
Who was that that  
MookGiants : 5/24/2015 9:27 pm : link
gambled?

Henrik got caught deep in his crease again.
It was a great shot  
MookGiants : 5/24/2015 9:28 pm : link
but we're probably going to need him to bail us out on 1 or 2 of those a night.
awful D and goaltending  
hitchchops2 : 5/24/2015 9:28 pm : link
what a novelty this series
he did on Stamkos earlier  
MetsAreBack : 5/24/2015 9:29 pm : link
how about not sucking cock on all 4 power plays tonight? How about Nash not missing the net by 5 feet on a 12 foot uncontested shot?
did anyone see  
MookGiants : 5/24/2015 9:29 pm : link
who gambled to create the odd man rush? I didn't catch a number

What game are you watching? We probably have controlled possession, but the three best shots on goal have come from them.

it was a save that he could of made saw it no screen or deflection
Of course Nash misses the net on his chance  
nyjuggernaut2 : 5/24/2015 9:30 pm : link

Almost 2 periods played ... and SOG are 13-10

Oops ... 13-12
the bigger problem  
MookGiants : 5/24/2015 9:30 pm : link
on the shot is he wasn't aggressive. Like he was on Stamkos shot. Like he was in game 4.

He has been beaten like a drum every time he has sat in his crease this series from that spot. They don't miss when they have upper corner to shoot at
Drop low again King

Staal

with a dumb penalty. Fuck fuck fuck
Kucherov makes the most of that, possibly took a dive

Staal to the box
Staal continuing his  
benwa27 : 5/24/2015 9:35 pm : link
wonderful play this series.
it was a great shot  
MetsAreBack : 5/24/2015 9:35 pm : link
we've gone into an uncreative, shell offensively yet again after two good games. Nash is missing the net by several feet and MSL hasn't built on anything from Friday. Real disconcerting.

Big Kill coming up now... this one may get away from us in a hurry.
I dont know  
MookGiants : 5/24/2015 9:36 pm : link
why anyone thought MSL would build off of hitting an empty net. He was absolutely terrible in the game. Glass would have hit that open net
They want to call Staal for that, fine  
Greg from LI : 5/24/2015 9:36 pm : link
But that should be matching minors. Really obvious dive.
SOG went from 13-8 to 13-14 in basically 2 minutes

It was a shot if  
Carl in CT : 5/24/2015 9:37 pm : link
You didn't drop and you came out of your crease it has no chance going in! Bad play by the goalie!
boooo

thanks Staal  
MookGiants : 5/24/2015 9:38 pm : link
turning into a nightmare game
We reverted back to Game 2  
dpinzow : 5/24/2015 9:38 pm : link
after a good 25 minutes
I've been saying MSL should be in a press box for 5 games now  
MetsAreBack : 5/24/2015 9:38 pm : link
he's done. It's not even close. But Zuccs frustratingly can't get back.

Is what it is. We're on the brink now.
I suppose that was Hank's fault too.  
yatqb : 5/24/2015 9:38 pm : link

our awful power play

going to cost us this game.
Nope  
Carl in CT : 5/24/2015 9:41 pm : link
No chance on that one! Blame Staal!
Just an awful game.  
nygmen84 : 5/24/2015 9:41 pm : link
Its looks like game 2 all over again. No urgency, PP, and shitty defense.
fuck you

When our power play looks like shit he's always out there.

He's the worst player on the ice, by far, between the two teams. He was the other night too, but woopty fuckin doo he hit a wide open net with no one anyone near him
I am just frustrated  
Essex : 5/24/2015 9:44 pm : link
I could have seen us losing a 100 different ways tonight, I couldn't see us really not getting a quality shot in two periods
RJ  
MetsAreBack : 5/24/2015 9:44 pm : link
I think if we had a 28-31 year old wing making that $4-5 million/year who could contribute on the PP and score 25-30 goals/year....

Yeah, it would make a difference. The guy single handedly cost us game 2 and has 1 goal 17 playoff games. Fuck him.
I think the Rangers were playing a great game ... they had held  
baadbill : 5/24/2015 9:46 pm : link
TB to 8 SOG and virtually no real scoring opportunities since the giveaway early in the 1st period ... they were totally controlling the flow of the game ...

Then Stamkos buries one out of nowhere. And then Rangers give up a PP goal (while they went 0-4 on their own).

Tough sledding moving forward. But a two goal lead is a very difficult lead to protect in hockey. All it takes is one goal and suddenly it's a game again and momentum shifts radically. Gotta keep faith.

LGR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doesnt help that Stamkos is playing his best hockey of the season  
MetsAreBack : 5/24/2015 9:47 pm : link

People talk about Johnson... we haven't had an answer for Stamkos the entire series.

Besides Kreider's shot that missed the net, we have had zero quality chances. Yeah they didn't have a lot of shots but their quality of shots even before the goal was better than ours.

I still would love to know what tanner glass was doing.
they have to make that shitbird  
MookGiants : 5/24/2015 9:50 pm : link
Bishop work, so far he has not had to do a damn thing. We've missed the net on our chances. He sucks. Make him work

That may be true. But it is also true that the Rangers were carrying the play up until the goal. In any event, it doesn't matter. They're down 2 and need this game. Big uphill climb from here.
how much are you really carrying  
MookGiants : 5/24/2015 9:55 pm : link
the play when you can't generate chances, though?

It was basically both teams playing in a shell and not giving up anything, then tanner glass gambled for no reason.
Rangers werent carrying the play  
MetsAreBack : 5/24/2015 9:59 pm : link
they barely had a shot advantage despite 4-1 edge in PP at the time.

Look is what it is - by now it should be clear to everyone that they are a little better. And their core is under 25.

We need a quick goal to get back in this thing. Their two weaknesses are a perhaps injured Bishop (I'm not sure about that), and their youth. Put some pressure on them and see how they respond. It's our only shot at this point - their talent is clearly superior, we need to win on structure, coaching and experience.
