You could sense that coming. Can't play that sloppy and defend the entire third period. Tampa had a step from the get go. Rangers were fighting the puck , couldn't handle for poop

It's been a theme all season, but it still boggles my mind how we can be losing in the final minute and refuse to shoot the puck. No urgency to try to tie it. Every time. It's disgusting.

Thanks Trouba

Team effort. TB played desperately and we did not match fully.

We need to be better on Tuesday night. We were all hoping for a split in TB anyways. We are OK.

Was thinking the same thing, they had about 3 great chances to shoot and refused to

To put this game on Trouba is way off. The whole team didn’t show up in the 3rd

That pissed me off man. 3 or 4 open looks and looking for the pretty play.

I wasn’t even as pissed as I should be. Had a feeling once Trouba took that 3rd penalty they were losing. My body was already anticipating the loss lol

Agreed.

Just gotta regroup and get back at it next game. If they can steal on next game and go home 3-1 that would be great.

Also now with Strome out, the lines are going to be off a bit. Just a really bad day overall

Tampa found their legs, the Rangers didn't. Tampa deserved that win.

Yeah as soon as they tied it I had a bad feeling. I prepared for the worst. Tampa was the better team today. We need 1 on the road, hopefully they bounce back with their best effort of the series

If anything, that's been the case in most of our playoff losses. Not trying to take anything away from the opponents, but I feel that the Rangers have lost most of the games rather than the other team winning. If that makes sense

My guess is Rooney back in for game 4 with Goodrow centering Panarin/Copp or Copp centering with Goodrow on the wing.

Great two periods in a road game. Losing strome killed them in the 3rd.

Again, trouba thanks bud

I blame JRR for saying he would rather win game 4 over game 3 lol

I think every team feels that way when they lose. Just need more them to play the way they did the 1st 2 games. I just hope Gallant leaves the kid line together.

I mean, the first two calls were borderline penalties at best. Hard to blame him for those.
This was a team-wide effort, or lack thereof.

I guess rust is no longer an excuse

He's hiding

Outside of the PP Panarin has been terrible all playoffs 5v5

He's hiding

Ur a bozo man, Trouba has turned the momentum in how many games this postseason? Did he have a bad game? Ya. But ur hatred for him is ridiculous.

Yeah, Fox had some horrendous giveaways, Zib horrible coverage on the go ahead goal. No one wanting to shoot with the goalie pulled. The whole team was not good. Tampa was the way better team. On to game 4
