Chytil is a fucking monster

Do we have as many goals on Vasi in 30 minutes as Florida had in 4 games?

Sick pass by Kakko, nice finish Chyts!!! Muh boy

Vatrano’s pretty happy he’s not on that bum Panthers squad right now

Frankie boy!!!

Panarin is going to do some damage if he keeps it up

Mixed period. A few too many high danger chances given up

Thinking same thing. Probably because they were lazy skating and Paul beat 4 of them to get to front of net by himself

Yeah that’s not allowed Hagel! To the sin bin ya go

Igor already making his mark

That’s how you start a big game! Captain my captain!

Perhaps they are looking to move other guys instead of him. They need to improve defensively. I would think a guy like Ehlers could be on the block to re-appropriate some cap to the backend.

Strome didn’t have possession, but once he touched the puck before Copp had tagged up, it’s off-side.

I don’t think it was off-side at all. It’s no different than a delayed off-side, and that gap where Makar did not have the puck on his stick, the teammate tagged up. It’s a good goal.

Keys to the game: 1) Get bodies in front of Vasi 2) Shoot the puck with good looks as they don’t happen frequently against playoff Tampa 3) Score first, don’t want to be chasing almost ever against this team 4) If 3 happens, don’t let up You’re welcome! - Captain Obvious

The short answer is the game is played on ice not exclusively on paper. The long answer is I’m sure the 10 previous teams who have played Tampa thought they had a good chance to win. Yet Tampa prevails because they know how to play all forms of hockey. They can shut down teams when they have a lead. They make it hard to enter the zone and when you do, they block shots left and right, forming a brick wall around their goaltender. And if you’re lucky enough to get pucks through, their goalie is a previous Vezina and Con Smythe winner. They have high powered talent that can capitalize on mistakes as you push offensively. They can open up the game and make high skilled plays should they fall behind. They are never out of a game. I would agree that the Rangers are built very similarly to Tampa, but they are still well behind them in terms of structured play. This will be great experience for them one way or another. Anything can happen though, and I do think this Rangers team has the moxie and belief in themselves that Toronto and Florida did not.

I want the Oil to tie it so bad. This game deserves OT

I mean you might as well just go empty net tbh.

It's spelled Gauthier

Dude these teams don't play defense whatsoever

Sweet. You’ll see us clinch a spot to the Finals live

Half way

Drury: “…went down to the room after the game last night and Copper looked at me and said ‘Sorry about your 1st’” L.M.A.O!!
