    It does kind of blow your mind jam, and honestly as well as this team has played since the 2012 playoffs, this has been an issue every playoff season. It is why we lose every game 2 after winning game 1 at home. It is why we had to come back from down 3-1 twice the past two playoffs. It is why we have played SO MANY 7 game series. As good as this team has been we really struggle playing with any lead or advantage. Very frustrating.

    Struds being his usual troll. I guess Henrik should have stopped that 2nd goal where the D got undressed.

    Tempt fate enough and you eventually get burned. Of course I want them to win game six and seven but it's not going to happen just because.

    I don't think they were passive, they just overpassed too much. They actually played with alot of energy i thought.

    Guy goes from giving up 10 in 2 to pitching a shutout... What an awful game plan AV came out with... No execution at all... Bishop didn't even make a hard save

    Score 1st or it will be tough.

    We either show up on fire after this sh*t tonight OR I think we get rolled in game 6.

    Not going to be easy for us to win down there in an elmination game. I said it before tonight...no elmination games in TB. They were the best home team in the NHL for a reason, and we saw it in game 3 & 4...we won a game 4 that they really controlled a lot of. Won't be easy, but you never know how a game will play out.

    Chuck I'm going to take a line from you, "it is what is", and what we truly expect from these guys. I'm not holding out any hope for game 6, but you never know. Still have to play the game, but they better bring there AAA game, or the season will come to a screeching halt.

    Frankly, I don't think the Rangers have played a strong full 60 minute game yet in these playoffs. Their speed and transition game is what made them successful all season long. They have allowed all three opponents so far take them out of their game.

    I think we all feel that way Al, and are very concerned this could be the end. I thought the Caps series would be our toughest challenge. I thought coin flip in that series. I thought 7 for us in this series, but I also thought it would be an "easier" 7 and not as much of a challenge as the Caps. I underestimated TB...that is clear.

    AV? This is not on AV. The players are supposed to be professionals, and they didn't show up. Games 5 at home, with a chance to go up 3-2 you don't really need a coach on the bench. These guys should know how they need to play, and they didn't do it.

    If being honest Bishop would likely tell you himself he had a very easy night.

    Didn't test Bishop at all really. Not sure TB tested Hank that much either, but they cashed one on the PP and a low % play by Glass and not a smart play by Staal helped them score the 1st goal.

    I agree jam...5-2 us or 5-2 them. I actually don't see game 6 being close. One team rolls is my opinion. Edge on that team being them, but if we score 1st and put some doubt in their mind, you never know.

    This team really needs a big center who game is to go the net, and bang any defenseman that gets in his way.
