None of the Rangers are playing hard tonight. It's almost like they're thinking "well, there's still three more games." They need to CRASH THE NET!!! Make Mason uncomfortable. He had a concussion. Bump him a few times. Get in his head!
Could you imagine how great Zucc would be if he had Nash's size. Nash is such a waste coasting around out there.
We stopped the stretch passes. Mason hasn't been really tested due to our soft players afraid to go to the net.
I think they are playing hard. For most of the game we have been in total control. The issue is one great bounce for them, and where I agree with you is zero pressure in front of Mason. His night has been real easy. Just no one on him.
That's the shit we need to do. Get in front of Mason, whack at him after the play and make him nervous about his concussion.
Ok that was a good save by Mason for a change Got a min of 4 on 3 at least....gotta score to start the 3rd
Why did the whistle blow? How the hell can the referee lose sight of the puck on something like that?
Huge start to the 3rd. 1:45 on the PP. 1:12 of 4 on 3. Just huge. Could decide the game. Need to shoot. Overall I truly think we have controlled the game. The 2nd was closer, but I would say edge us. Issue no no one in front of Mason. No rebounds. And the PP has been a huge fail.
I think it is Dis. Quite honestly we have out played them clearly. We really have controlled 80% of this series, yet we could be 2-2. It is what we do...LOL. And while Mason clearly has played well, 98% of his saves were one shot and done, no one in front of him at all.
I'd disagree with your analysis of the second. Flyers def controlled the play. They had the puck in our zone A LOT and actually possessed the puck. We get into the zone, get one shot on net and Mason either freezes it or the Flyers get it outta the zone. We just look sloppy, lifeless, and look like we're playing without urgency, as if in their heads they still think that all they have to do if they lose this one is win two of the next three instead of winning this one and then worrying about the next game.
