Should be a great game. Both teams have been tough to beat plus we might see a matchup between Ben Bishop & Henrik Lundqvist.

Doubt we see Bishop tonight, believe his wrist is still injured. Nonetheless, still will be a good game.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Ben Bishop is actually off IR and in net tonight for the Lightning.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Getting some beer and headed to the train station, then off to the game!!

LET'S GO RANGERS!!!

 

[Pastafazul]

scoring 1st again, team is very exciting, got hot at right time

 

[Pastafazul]

ok, cally deserved the penalty, but where's the embellishment call??? it wasn't cally who hit hm the second time but his own teammate, bishop falls to ice he should have gotten2 mins. should have been 4on4... secondly, through this great play i still was concerned although did not post about our defense, that 2nd goal in 9 seconds confirms that b4 we get to PS we need help defensively....

don't blame hank for the 2, but he's stopped em b4

 

[David_son]

This team really needs a constant offensive threat

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Great goaltending matchup so far.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Power play coming up for the Rangers with less than 5:00 to go. Big moment right here.

 

[David_son]

Man if only we had better goaltending we would be so much better ( sarcasm intended )

 

[Pastafazul]

thanks del zero, please make a deal!!!.. he makes girardi look like an elite dman

i appreciate the effort of this team, the skatin, passin, goaltendin has been exceptional, no excuse for the mistake that was made for the 2nd goal esp. since AV warned these guys about what tampa will do off a faceoff... lundy deserved a pt in this game..

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Nice to see Bishop flopping around LeBron and getting the call. Good thing Brewer lifted Cally's stick into him. Typical shitty game by the ref, also missed Bishop's trip behind the net towards the end of the game. Disgusting.
