I was very happy with last game. We played our best game defensively in a long while. It was nice to see the physicality and the hard work.
Didn't think it'd be a 1-0 game but I'll take it.
If we meet them again in the playoffs it'll be quite the series.
Anyone else see that terrible icing call with under a minute to play? Laviolette looked pissed. Almost like the refs wanted to give the candy canes every opportunity in the final minute there.
Oh well, on to Tampa. Can't let up. Day off and right back to it against another playoff caliber team. A team we may play in the first round. I hope there isn't a letdown.

Man that was an ugly final 30 minutes. Pretty much the equivalent of blowing a tire. One bad turnover and they never recovered. Porous defense, no puck possession. No excuses but part of it is the schedule being brutal. That was 4 in 6 days and another 3 in 4 coming up. No rest for the weary.

We played the first period great and part of the way through the second before falling apart, starting with Brodzinksi idiot giveaway.
Then we forgot everything we did the previous game and looked lost.
You can never rely on this team to play well from game to game. Hell, period to period. When Panarin gave up what looked to be an easy second goal to go up 3-0 I just rolled my eyes because, once again, they showed no killer instinct. This kind of selflessness, or more accurately moronic play will kill us in the playoffs. Take the ****ing shot and go up 3-0!!

Rangers had 4 games in 6 days while Tampa hasn’t played in 4 days!!!!
Wish our broadcast booth could get heads out of their @sses and recognize that. What a crybaby show from Sam, Joe and the post game. Tampa was rested and the Rangers were gassed.

As 13 says, they couldn't match the energy tonight.

You guys are more tolerant than me.
I don't like the tired excuse. They didn't look tired to me.
But its only one game. Move on and hope for a better effort and game on Saturday.
Pittsburgh is down and out. I would love nothing more than to kick them while they're down.

Pittsburgh is down and out. I would love nothing more than to kick them while they're down. I thought that’s exactly how they looked. They looked like the Carolina game team for 30 minutes and were flying and then Mika got hurt, Lindy got hurt, they slowed down, lost every puck battle. They had all the tell tale signs of a team that hit a wall. And now it’s another 3 in 4 coming up. Hockey is an incredibly demanding sport physically. There is a reason a standard shift is as short as it is. It’s not tolerance and excuses, you have to be realistic about what you’re watching sometimes. That was a gassed team in the 2nd half of the game.

I was at a local pub with a friend watching this one, so wasn't paying that close attention. Looked like a pretty solid game overall from what I saw. Of course Pitt is pretty bad this year, but we should beat the bad teams. I'm going to be at the game against the Jets on Tuesday, really looking forward to that, first one live this season...

A win against Pittsburgh is always a great thing. Really hate how we play in the 3rd with a lead. Quick was great... Better than great. Faced 16 shots on goal in the 3rd.
Another division rival tomorrow.

Another division rival tomorrow. Road win against a desperate team. You don’t get style points. No judgement bro, you’re hard to satisfy.

No judgement bro, you’re hard to satisfy. lol I’m satisfied with every win and mostly happy just not ecstatic. Listen this desperate team we played has scored 1 or fewer goals in their last 5 or 6 games before today. The only other team they scored more than 1 against was the last place sharks and us. Why do all the other top teams Pittsburgh has played only give up 1 or fewer against them but we give up 4? Shit like that bothers me.

Quick saved them, it was a weak defensive team effort imo.

They have played so well today finishing 3 in 4. That Lindy knee looked bad, you just have to hope for the best.

That was a much better 3rd period. Excellent win today taking both games in the back-to-back against divisional foes.
Panarin drinking Pang's gatorade was pretty funny.
Two tough games coming up against the jets and bruins.

Mollie Walker reports good news on Ryan Lindgren. Will miss a few weeks but a full recovery is expected. Looked worse than it ended up being. They recalled Brandon Scanlin from AHL Hartford for now.
Awesome news!

That’s just a tough night. Rangers were the better team mostly IMO, sometimes it’s just the man between the pipes. Hellebuyck is a damn beast. He was hung out to dry multiple times and he just makes stops. Got to tip your cap.

We had some decent opportunities, but as usual, the D let us down. The crowd and mood at the Garden is great.

To anyone who feels they had a subpar experience at a sporting event I let them know that I spent over 5k to travel halfway across the country on my son’s birthday for the Giants season opener last year. It could always be worse. 🤣

Nice bounce back win.
Played well all around and getting that game winning goal 40 seconds after Boston tied it up in the 3rd was marvelous.
Hope we play more like that going forward.

Strong come back in the 2nd period and powered through to tie it up and then win in the shootout.
Pinball type of goal for Panarin to tie it at 3 but we're due for some puck luck.
4 points won against 3 of the top 5 teams in the league. That is really good.
We've got 11 games to go and we're rounding into really good form for the playoffs.
Need to keep doing what we're doing, and I know he's just a 4th liner but keep playing Rempe. Kid adds a toughness other teams need to be aware of.
