    Who converts better on the rush will be the difference in this series.

    I've had enough of the Backstrom Geico commercials.

    Yeah they play that commercial a little too much. They should find a newer star and shoot a new one.

    Playing well, but if you don't score it don't matter in the playoffs.

    After the first 3 minutes or so we totally controlled that period, but no goals is no goals. That's what counts. Need to score some goals this series.

    With that said, play like we did in the 1st and we'll be in very good shape.

    That was a great period though. Tampa D looks very average

    Looks like I was wrong about Tampa d more mobile than the rangers. I think our d is so much more mobile. Tampa d is huge but so freaking slow.

    Can't judge too much either way based on one period, but our D is deeper and more mobile than their D. I don't think that is a debate. Stralman was the 4th dman here, he is their 2nd dman. Coburn was a 3rd pair guy in Philly, he is their 3rd dman, maybe 4th. We have an edge on D, especially since the Bolts don't play that heavy pound your D game.

    Their advantage is some legit high end talent up front on their top two lines. And Bishop is playing well in goal. We still need to solve that issue.

    Keep Stamkos quite and we will be in a good shape. Except cally, I did not see anyone on Tampa taking the body.

    TB is going to play better in the 2nd I'd guess. Sure Cooper is getting on them a little. We need to score that 1st goal and play with a lead.
