Game 1 Recap TBvsNYR

If you all cant tell I have fully reinvested in this Rangers team. So I am going to recap the game, key moments and some stuff I see throughout this series.

Game stick to Filip Chytil.
The Kids line should be called the Teen line cause we are watching them mature before our very eyes. You can just tell they have fresh legs in comparison to these veterans even with Tampa Bay having 9 days rest.
Only thing to worry about is the Rangers might have poked the bear. We’ll have to see how game 2 shakes out to know this for sure. But you cant beat down the 2x Stanley Cup champs the way the Rangers did and not think TB will come back for vengeance
At some point TB is going to have to stop leaking that forward trying to get a breakaway. I know that’s there game and how they play. Problem is the Rangers defenders are good on staying home and the forwards are forechecking to hard to not have that guy hang around the zone to help.
How F’in good is Igor though.. I am good lord.
On the flip side of that, Vasilevskiy did not look like the same player. I’d say legitimately 4 of the 6 were savable shots. Those 4 were easily shots you’d see in practice.

Betting notes: (Be responsible)

This game absolutely threw me for a loop. I was on the under the entire way. When all of sudden the Rangers went on that second period flurry. As of today its still O/U 5.5. I have a hard time seeing these goalies consistently let in 6 goals between the two teams.
Chytil is on an absolute HEATER. Lines aren’t out today, but if he is still + to score might as well take the odds.

Why Not Us?

That’s the question us (Ranger) fans have been asking and I am here to tell you, it’s a fair question to ask.

As we prepare for tonights game 1 Vs the 2x defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning, and 4 years and 4 months removed from the “Letter.”

There is something about this team. No its not the same as teams in years past, there isn’t a room commanding single voice leader, there isn’t charismatic goaltender. Instead this team is lead by a group of voices who any day, any game is the leader and steps into that role, and the goal tender while quite and reserved, lets his save % do most of his talking.

That’s what makes this team fun. While there are ruminants of past Ranger teams. This team has its own identity. That’s the best part of this team.

They showed in the Penguin series, “you need us to score goals?” No problem we will go out there and hang 5 on your goalie.

They showed during the Hurricane series, “You need us to play defense, and get physical?” No problem they went out there and won those games by grinding out finishes. Oh and not to mention once the physicality got to be to much, the Canes looked defeated by the time game 6 was done.

I am looking at this series and I see two great goal tenders. Strong offenses and teams capable to shut down defensively.

But with that RANGERS IN 7!!
