Blue Heaven Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 We may have a Panarin sighting in this round. IMO, Panarin may have more space to create. what’s the status of Point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphinity 2.0 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 The Lightning are a more flawed team than people are giving them credit for - especially with injuries to Point and Hagel. Vasilevsky looked human, even downright bad at times, in the Leafs series. And yet again, I think Gallant can play the underdog angle with these guys, which I think gives them an edge. I like the Rangers here a lot. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 We were 3-0 during the season against them, it won’t be easy but this isn’t an unbeatable team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Game 1 will be a massive challenge. I hate Game 1's after the first round. I have no idea how they'll get up for this on Wednesday. Crowd needs to be absolutely bonkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cr00zng Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 The Rangers survived the hurricane and now, they will ground the lightening, just to face an avalanche. They will weather whatever the NHL throws at them, BELIEVE!!!!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodka Drunkenski Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Can’t believe they’ve made it this far, and not because I’ve been hating on the guy, but they did so with Panarin being dog shit. If he’s even half the point production point player he was in the regular season, they have a shot. It’s going to be very tough but at this point, I just put my arms up and say you never know what can happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 We haven't led a series yet. I'd like that to change this time. Rangers in 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsm7302 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Idc if we sweep em or they give us another nail biter Game 7!!! 4 wins away from the freaking Stanley Cup Finals...... This ride has been a whirlwind. This team is pushing all the right buttons and I love all of it. Watching them burn down the barn in Raleigh during the first period was the best! They took gale force winds and turned them into a sea breeze. No quit in New York. Do this for Libor Hajek, Brett Howden and Vlad Namestnikov!!!

Kick save and a beauty Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Two time reigning champions who have have nine days resting up and getting healthy after bouncing the Presidents trophy winners in four straight. What could possibly go wrong after all? Except there is something about this Rangers team this year... Something that nobody has really been able to put their finger on exactly. Frankly the difference is that I think everyone will underestimate how much better this team has become since the playoffs started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I cannot believe I’m even reading this thread. I can’t believe it’s a thing. But at the same time, I can. Something special is happening. The script is there. The reigning two-time defending Stanley Cup champs await. Now it’s on us to go out and make this incredible miracle story a reality. We got a shot. And that is just insane. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the playoffs were looking pretty bleak after G4 against Pittsburgh. Even moreso in G5 in the 2nd period down 2-0. They weren't playing good hockey at all until their backs were all the way up against the wall. They turned it on in a serious way ever since then. They played Carolina hard every game except G5. Truth be told it should have been Rangers in 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well Hopefully some of the adrenaline and sharpness of playing is left over, while the Lightning are a little rusty after 10 days away from playoff hockey.

gphockey Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Congratulations on your victory over the Hurricanes. Well deserved. You have a hot goalie now and it shows. I also attended a game at MSG about 10 years ago, very cool experience and love the potvin sucks tradition. Don't underestimate Tampa, we have the worlds best goalie, sounds pompous but his record speaks for itself, for instance in game 7's he has had 200 shots on goal and allowed one goal. The team has had several days off now after the surprise sweep of the Panthers. Toronto gave the Lightning all it wanted and more, either team could have won that series. I think the Lightnings strong points are: Play a team game, shut down shooting lanes, force the forwards to shoot from outside and points... and the team blocks a ton of shots. Timely scoring, especially from the 3rd and 4th lines Good coaching Great goaltending Very good powerplay with good puck movement and if Stamkos is open on the cross ice one timer its trouble for the keeper Solid Defense who will jump in the play This is a veteran team, like all teams we are a bit beat up, case in point (no pun intended) we are missing Braden Point who is a significant loss and likely not to play in this series. Watch Kucherov, as when he is on, is a great playmaker. Good luck, lets all hope for a good series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your team is the reigning two-time champions and so a little confidence is warranted. All of that lasts until you get hit in the mouth and realize that this will not be such a cake walk. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
