Now that was a good period of hockey. Guess Tampa thought they won the east after defeating the B's. Glad they finally decided to show up.

 

The Caps played another good period. The way they are playing, Tampa is going to have to maintain this pace or they have no chance. Let's see if Tampa can elevate their play for the rest of the series and then we'll be watching championship level hockey.

Two absolute noob penalties cost the Caps dearly.

Vasi was back to his best and what an absolute snipeshow from Stamkos and Kuch.

Even though the series was over statistically after the Caps won the first 2 on the road this isn't anywhere near over. Can definitely see the Bolts taking the next one and at that point the momentum shift will quite likely be too much for the Caps.

If TBL's big guys show up again, they can def take game 4.

Didn't catch much of the 4rd, but the crowd was a non-factor last night.

How could it not. Stralman alone is motivation. Many of these guys laid it all out for the Rangers and we rooted hard for them. To boot, I finally bought property on the Gulf and get to see Tampa enough to enjoy the Gulf Coast Rangers. They play a fun, fast brand of hockey. Plus, there is some Ranger pride, when socializing down there.

 

Then there is that small matter of another 1st round pick. This may be the first time the Rangers actually have a rooting interest in a playoff we are not in. Are you not hardcore? How is this even a question? Almost all the viable top 9 forwards or top 4 D are gone in the first 35 to 40 picks, every draft. Tampa winning gives the Rangers an additional key ELC versus a longshot lottery ticket.

 

1/16th of a second, 1/16th. Giacomin, not even long enough to have a concrete ?Poor Ovi,? thought, lol.

 

Heck I might have been one of the first on this site to call em the Rangers South quite some long time ago, now. I don?t track these things, though.
