Sounds like you’ve got some personal experience with his groin? 

You're just jealous I'm not breaking your groin

To be fair to Kuemper, he's been cosplaying as a pirate most of these playoffs. 

He took himself out of last game because his vision was blurry. 

Same thing that's plagued Raanta his entire career; his groin is made of glass. 

Wow. The only one that gets to break his groin is the lovely Anna Raanta née Ylijoki. Perhaps she can help fix her husband up so that the Raantas can enjoy their day with Lord Stanley's Cup eventually.

Shesterkin was great, Tampa is not a cakewalk like Florida was.

Ok, anyone with a pulse knows the top two. The bottom two I cant remember the tag team's name but one of them was Outback Jack. Pretty sure Brutis the Barber called him "Outhouse Jack".

Last night was exciting and fun to watch but geez....14 goals? Any mistake by the D or the goaler and in it went.

Anyone know the extent of Raanta's injury? Looked like a hip, knee, or hamstring.

Tonight should be fun too. 

(Kind of) close - those two gents are most commonly known as The Bushwackers - Luke (right) and Butch (left)... but of course went by other names in other territories.

This is not the same Ranger team I saw during the regular season.  The PP goal was cool how they peppered him with shots.

As far as I remember in the regular season, the Rangers won every match against Tampa. in any case, these are my two favorite teams and the conference final will be of particular interest to me

As far as I remember the canes dominated the rangers in the regular season. 
play offs are a different animal

The Rangers have drawn first blood, as of yesterday. Will the Empire strike back?

The bottom 2 guys are the Bushwhackers : Cousin Butch and Cousin Luke. They're from New Zealand and they were known as the Sheepherders in the NWA and The Kiwis before that.

Outback Jack was a different guy from Australia when WWF tried to capitalize on the Crocodile Dundee frenzy during the 80's.

Indeed they did, 3-0 during the season.  I don't see that continuing though.  This will be a tough series.

And then there is this.  I wouldn't say Carolina dominated the Rangers but they did handle them quite well.  Playoffs are different animal.  I don't see any of the remaining games being as easy as game 1.  I was beyond surprised to see it happen at all.  I loved every moment of it though.  LGR

There's a stat going around where the team who recently won a game 7 plays against a team coming off a sweep is 8-0.

Lightning in 5.

This series is going no less than 6 no matter who wins it.

NYR were impressive last night. They just hang around and hang around. Unless the opposition puts them away, they are dangerous in a close game.

Lets make it a 7 game series with Tampa pulling off the reverse sweep.

The Rangers are playing.  Of course it is going to go 7.  They never make it easy for themselves lol

Chris Kreider referred to themselves as cockroaches.  They don't go away, keep finding ways to come back.

But yea, no, I don't see the Rangers winning 3 in a row and then dropping 4 straight.  No chance.

That's true, I don't see them winning 3 at all.

@SaveByRichter35: wow! Dismantled Tampa last night. They just stick with their game no matter what. This isnt over yet obviously but they look unshakeable and when they blow coverage, that monster is in goal. Very impressive.

 the Oilers may be packing it up soon but imo the MVP of that team is Mike Smith. Guy has been playing out of his mind and at a cool 40! years old. Just think about that for a moment.

Was it Tampa being good or did the Rangers lost their game in the third yesterday? They looked like they got nervous of winning or whatever happened. No puck control, no organized playing and before that for the first two games and two periods they had a really solid game. Not saying Tampa didn't earn the victory but something happened on Rangers team.
