I knew that 5 minute Power Play - whatever you call it - was gonna kill us.
Yup. You score one maybe 2 there this game is played totally different. The crappy PP allows teams to take liberties they otherwise may not because of the repercussions. There are no repercussions when it comes to the Rangers. Not on the scoreboard anyway.
Biggest adjustment that neutralized our forecheck is Anderson constantly stopping the puck, everywhere. Still not worried. Rangers will take this series.
Why did they stop playing with 7 minutes left in the 3rd. They were playing great until then.
7 mins? They stopped playing with like 15 mins left in the 3rd. The timeout should have come with 10 mins left. But idiot Torts didn't call one, sat there and watched the Sens take shooting practice until they scored.
Great. Lundqvist choked. Flailing all over the place, losing site of the puck. Now this will be a long series. I wanted to go into Ottawa up 2-0. Best case scenario, despite Ottawa being so-so at home, is to leave Ottawa 2-2.
My new prediction, Rangers in 7. Yes, I think it will take 7 to beat these guys.
The only was I can see anybody blaming Torts is that these idiots keep icing the puck and dont know how to make a simple clearing pass...it's been a problem all season.
That one is frustrating as hell, right off the bat I think everyone knew that this would be an uphill battle, and the Rangers stopped playing their game and it was.
Gotta go into Ottawa and take at least 1.
Really would have LOVED to be up 2-0, but I think that's pretty obvious.
Boys deserve to give themselves a pat on the back. Never has a team deserved to lose more. I'm ashamed.
Typical Rangers game all around. Fluke goal for the opposition, team gets pinned in their own zone for 10 minutes at a time. Officials ****ed them consistently.
I expected way more out of this team in the playoff. A whole lot more. Right now it's laughable how bad this team has failed to show up.

Yep, Rangers dominated until MDZ made the worst play of his season, if not his NHL career.
Whatever, we're better than this ****** team. Blues lost to the Sharks, **** happens. We'll embarrass these ****ers in front of their home crowd.

He didn't call a T/O because he told them to play that way.
