Game Thread 4/29/17 Game 2 New York Rangers vs Ottawa Senators

That said, no sympathy from me given that these refs have noticed every little thing that's happened. Meanwhile last series our guys were pretty much getting murdered.

2 goal lead, refs aside this is on us to put it away.

LGR

 

yeah 5 on 5 was much better because he finally cut down minutes of hayes and miller. Took zucc to get that asswipe Kreider going.

 

That was barely a slash compared to the crap Ottawa has gotten away with thus far.

 

There you go lol.

 

Anderson finally coming back to earth.

 

Solid period. Still need to be more disciplined, but outside of that and the one 4 on 4 breakdown by Skjei and the forwards, that was a strong period. Good to see.

And yes credit to AV for making the line changes he did, sparked the team.

Once again...we are the clearly better team. We simply need to play smart hockey and be strong on the puck and we'll win this series.

Big 3rd period. Please let's play for a while with a 2 goal lead. No early Ottawa goals and we'll be okay.

I said it yesterday, winner of this game wins the series I believe.

 

Yep. 5 v 5 we are heads and shoulders better IF WE KEEP ATTACKING. We can't let Ottawa set up their trap in the neutral zone. We can't pass the puck backwards and side to side if we can push it forward. Keep Ottawa uncomfortable and score 6!!!!!

 

chuck, you also said that the winner of game 3 of last series will win the series. How did that turn out?

 

I don't really fault Skjei on the goal..yeah he got beat around the edge but every now and then guys are going to get beat. Wasn't a mental mistake. Hoffman can skate.

Losing Methot 4v4 though..can't happen. That guy takes an hour to get down the ice.

 

I don't get why they didn't attack him and give that foot a few extra whacks along the boards during board battles when we knownhes hurting.

 

Not sure who chuck is, but no I didn't say that. So that is incorrect.

I did however say I thought Montreal would win in 6 before the series.

As for today, finish it off with a strong 3rd please.

 

Either way, Skjei made up for it with his goal. And Anderson is very beatable. Early in the period both Lindberg and Miller shot pucks into him with open nets. Need to shoot better. Full credit to Anderson for not giving up, but we need to shoot much better than those guys did.

 

These biased refs will call a penalty so you gotta be smart.

 

To me we should focus on our own discipline and the rest will take care of itself. No doubt this series has been called closer than the Montreal series, so we need to adjust. And all of our penalties were legit, maybe outside of one. So focus on ourselves and our discipline and we'll be fine.

 

I figure Ottawa is going to get 2-3 more PPs this period. Just gotta be smart and hope we can get a few also and keep going north- south against Ottawa and make Anderson uncomfortable with traffic in front.

 

What shit luck.

 

lol...two blatant calls missed. Zucc was tackled and then interefered on two plays. right in front of the idiot ref.

 

WTF did I just write...no early goals. F'ing lost FO again and mother f'ing Staal with an AWFUL icing. FU*K...

 

Omg that is just unlucky
