I flipped it to the Cavs game for a split second turned it back to the Rangers game and saw the Lighting celebrating...

Pretty easy to forget the Rangers have a 40 goal scorer too, the way he plays.

this loss really hurts man. we gotta wake up, stop squandering leads and stay out of the penalty box. it feels like King's gonna need to put up a shutout or two to get back on track.

That 2-0 lead was early, but still inexcusable to blow. This team has fight, they need MSG.

Nash looked a lot better with Zucc on the ice, but I can't make excuses for him anymore, it's mental at this point. Even his attempts are soft.

Lundqvist cannot allow that last goal in that spot, but he has been left to die on a lot of shots. Lot of October-type mistakes from the Rangers, unforced errors and sloppy turnovers.

Rangers had a lot of opportunities this series on breakaways to change the momentum to their side, no goals.

Tampa is just playing faster than the Rangers and their shots are more precise.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

38 shots on goal for Tampa versus 26 for the Rangers. I mean, man, we can't have a differential like that when they have superior scorers. Gotta put the puck on the goal.

 

[stillin729]

Nash has played in 56 playoff games and has 7 goals

Know the feeling come playoff time

 

[amarano]

ive never seen a team make such a drastic change for the worse come playoffs.

i refuse to believe Zuccarello was that integral to the the teams success.

its all mental for Lundqvist now. figured hed bounce back but it went the other way.

Rangers goalie hasnt let 12 Gs in 2 playoff games since 1958 some guy named Gump (stupid sportscenter stat)

turnovers and jesus they won 3 out of like 25 faceoffs in the 3rd. 

sad part is they actually look better than the team that played Capitals.

aside from Henrik.

The Mike Babcock Era is here for the Leafs

JVR gonna end up scoring 40 goals next year while Luke Schenn will be -40

 

[picsforthebeast]

Leafs are finally bringing in the right people and doing things the right way, with a commitment to stick to the process. This management group, on paper alone, is looking way better than anything the leafs have ran with the past 10 years. Babcock was saying all the right things at his presser. This is a coach who will demand accountability from his players, something that has been missing for an embarrassingly long time. Players are no longer running the show. It also seems like his relationship with Shanny, and his relentlessness in his pursuit, was a big factor in accepting the job. Competent management, I'm happy 

. Shanny, Hunter, Babcock > Burke, Nonis, Carlyle 

 

[rolaholic]

Yeah it sucks that the Leafs finally seem to be making the right moves

That Shanny-Babcock relationship should make for a smooth running FO operation.

Thanks for JVR again

Exactly Leafs are going in the right direction now 

 All that is needed now is the GM
