Playoffs!!!

Re: Playoffs!!!

so they lose to get to a point where they need to win it all? sounds like a championship mindframe.

rangers blow. but bishop is worse. If TB had a middling goalie who could stop a handful of shots, give up 2-3 goals a game, and give the team some level of confidence that they don't need to cover his every mistake, this thing would have been done by now.

to think the rangers have done anything other than to wear down lundqvuist is absurd.

the rangers are the old heavyweight who can still absorb punches. sometimes they get knocked out. other times they take the beating and keep standing there barely. then the throw the one lame punch that gets a tired out team to fall over.

game 7 is a total wildcard, but i hope TB wins. if not, i can see the west finishing the rangers in 4 per usual.

Re: Playoffs!!!

I'm just happy we have two game sevens to enjoy. It is going to make for some great hockey.

This may be the peak of this season with the SCF being a disappointment.

Bishop is a good goalie. Inconsistant but good. Just look at his record against the top teams of the east. A team can win it all with him in net.

agree to disagree. his play in this series makes him look like he's barely NHL ready. and i remember a few years ago he was the prospect.

that second goal that was fluttering and he had to catch it, he simply missed. the rebounds are out of control and he seems to struggle to even be in position. it changes the whole dynamic of the team's confidence when they feel like pretty much everything and anything can go in.

Don't get me wrong he is terribly inconsistent but you have to beat the best to be the best. And he beats the best. Often.

You could use that same description with Crawford in Chicago. He has 1 cup on his mantle.

Re: Playoffs!!!

The seats next to Hulk Hogan are $22, just to be clear. I kept saying "what are you going to do brother?" In a deep voice all night, I really couldn't help myself & he kept laughing. I'm not a little guy & neither is he, so we shot the **** all night until the 3rd period. Then he went up to a box, him & his huge friend (who was a very heavy guy). Pretty cool.

Hulk Hogan is an *******.

Bishop, when on, is a really good goalie. When he's off, well...

He's wildly inconsistent, but very good overall. Miller was the same way, some nights, he could have saved everyone on the Titanic. Other nights.....

Re: Playoffs!!!

Flo now that the Rags are out of the play-offs there is only one solution -- a 2 year tank to rebuild. There just is no other way in today's NHL.

We live in Clearwater, see him on a regular basis. Can't think or know of one person in Clearwater who had anything nice to say about this man.

He has a statue on Clearwater Beach ... I wish they would take it down.

Bishop just needs to be ON IT for another 4 games, dammit!
