Eastern Final - New York Rangers vs Tampa Bay Lightning

[Covet]

Put Talbot in if Lundqvist is tired.

Can't not start Lundqvist you either win or lose with your best goalie, the odds of him having 3 stinkers in a row are pretty steep. I admit a few of the goals were definitely his fault but when the defense leaves him out to dry on lots of 2 on 1's and odd man rushes there is only so much he can do. I say go back to what won the Washington series and see what happens, the Lightning are not the team you want to play run and gun with, maybe if Nash and St. Louis were contributing but since they are not it is time to play a defensive game and see what happens.

Yup the Rags have to get the first goal and smother the Bolts, especially the triplet line who seems almost unstoppable if they let them run and gun. Hoping for another shootout!

[spuds1961]

I enjoyed this game immensely.

[mooneyes]

Bolts turned the tables and shutout the Rags, did not see that coming, Bishop to King Henrik, checkmate! ;P

For two periods tonight it was the Swedish Carey Price Show. Lundqvist deserves all the credit in the world for giving his team a chance to win tonight--he held the fort for 40 minutes and then the cavalry finally showed up to help.

Too bad there's an extra night off before Game 7.

[spuds1961]

2 days off before game 7, the waiting is the hardest part.well they get extra money for a game 7 at the garden talk about maximizing profits.

Eliminating the Rangers is quite the challenge it seems. Crazy how strong they play when it's do or die.

[Covet]

That seems to be the way they roll.

[RGM81]

Blah.
