Did they cancel game six? No? Then it’s not over yet…..

They're not winning game six, dude. They're crushed. Tampa has done this and they're closing it out at home.

When you score 1 ES goal in ~200 mins, you aren't nearly good enough. Woulda, shoulda, coulda.

 

Haven't and didn't. Again.

Tampa played like a pack of cunts. We had one PP for too many men? Just a disgrace.

 

We sucked. It is what it is. Ryan Stromes tenure here is gonna have to end. That is Beltran Game 7 level of choking. 

Unless...

I want to get on them but these guys are hanging on by a fucking thread physically

Yup. And amazingly they were capable of winning games 3 and 5. Just couldn’t get it done. Imagine a well rested Rangers team in this series…..

By all means, watch our most experienced playoff longest tenured guy side saddle and try to poke a puck at the point instead of getting your ficking actual body in front of the puck with 2 minutes left in the semi finals. 
 

how do you even look at your teammates after that 

NOT the C. EVER!

I mean yeah it's nice to dream that this team will suddenly pull out a miraculous win in Game 6 with their traditional "backs against the wall" performance. But what about the previous 3 games has shown you that they can do that? Anything at all? I'm still somewhat hopeful they'll be able to pull it out, but there isn't much besides hoping for a miracle. Nothing about their gameplay in the last 3 games has been confidence inspiring.

Is the stat something like TB has a shutout in 6 of the last 7 elimination games?

They’re two bounces away from being in the cup final so there’s that, but they don’t deserve the luck so

I wouldn't doubt it. They are fucking lethal in elimination games. Complete shutdown defense and goaltending. One goal will probably be enough for them. 

[RichieNextel305]

Just watched the Strome whiff again. I literally just don’t know what in the world happened there. I don’t. I’m sorry, but that is unforgivable. And if we lose this series, that will be a scene people rewatch. Charles Smith.

Strome just surpassed Bread as the scapegoat…wide open fucking net!!!!

TB turned into a bunch of cunts.  That started because when there was 0.5 seconds left Kucherov shot the puck at net.  Fuck these Florida assholes.  They have a cunt for a Governor, cunt fans and a cunt hockey team.  Fuck them all.

Their Gov is the only one with balls

Something like that, yeah. If the Rangers didn't look so poorly and fried, I think they'd have a shot. But now? No chance.

Nick Paul is what I thought Andrew Copp was. Could have saved the 1st rounder and Barron, and just traded a bag of pucks for Paul. Much better playoff guy. Great job by Tampa scouts.

[AliveIn94]

It's hard to be a fan of this league when the refs suck SO much. Top PP in the league and you miss 3 penalties at least? G A M E M A N A G E M E N T

Yup.

[CSNY1]

Normally don’t blame refs but I can’t believe that Tampa is such a good team their players never commit a penalty 

[ausman]

Callahan is a damn good analyst.  He sees that the Rangers legs are gone.  Playing 7 game series back to back with no rest is taxing.  He talked about his experience when Rangers won two 7 game series then ran out of steam against Devils.

Good call.

[Valriera]

Hopefully coach going to change the lineup a bit because this one isn’t working, the fourth line is not going to do it. Get some fresh legs in there

It is. I don't care about the refs so much, but the deeper the Playoffs go, the worse the hockey gets. It's very boring. You'd have to have a rooting interest to watch it.

Dude, you lost your believe shirt, I didn’t. The Rangers are back against the wall, that’s when they played their best during this playoff season. Until proven otherwise, I believe that there will be a game seven….
