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!

Tampa plays a 1-3-1 with a deep defenseman, so the Rangers gotta figure out a way to through the neutral zone into Tampa's end. Personally, I think they should play high risk hockey. Look for the home run pass out of their zone and let Shesterkin handle it if it comes back in their end. Dumping and chasing won't work because one of their giant fucking defensemen will already be back ready to clear the puck.

Hedman. All day long. And he plays across the entire ice surface, too. He doesn't just stick to his own end.
