Koskinen seems almost too tall to be an effective goalie consistently. Can being too tall be detrimental for a goaltender?

I don't think so if anything it is a pro because you have longer legs to cover the bottom of the net, and a taller chest to cover the upper areas of the net, but with that said height is really not a factor. Goaltending is all technical.

Got to say this John Brancy guy that does the anthem for the Rangers is fantastic. One of the best versions I've ever heard.
I've got the NY radio call with Sam Rosen synced up with my stream so I don't have to listen to the dull ass ESPN commentary. Let's go Rangers!!

IGOR'S BETTER
Taken me a couple of hours to come down after that, what a performance. Tampa having some rest was supposed to be positive for them but it was the complete opposite, they looked a bit off the pace and couldn't match the Rangers intensity.
What can you say about the children? This was just supposed to be about them getting a bit of playoff experience under their belts and instead they're matching their regular season points tallies! The shift that led to Chytil's second goal where they pinned Tampa in their own zone for 30+ seconds and passed them to death was poetry in motion.

I will be cautiously optimistic about that game and enjoy that Tampa lost and not think at all about the fact that the Leafs murdered Tampa in Game 1 as well.

It goes without saying but the next game is vitally important. Tampa will surely come out flying, but if the Rangers can break their 18 in a row streak after a playoff loss then that's one of the last bits of mystique they retain after Vasilevsky allowed six goals (including some relatively "regulation" high shots). I think the fact that TB couldn't take a single positive out of tonight is relatively significant, they didn't even get a consolation goal late, and Reaves was just laughing at Maroon when he tried to start a fight. We even won the FO% which basically never happens.

Final day for the bonus question.
Again, yes or no. Will either conference champion touch the Wales Trophy or Campbell Bowl?

I find that ESPN's coverage is lacking something.

I should’ve bet on my guy Naz.
Also; this is all Evander Kane’s fault. He got Colorado all riled up and they just scored 3 goals in less then 5 minutes.

Makar really shut down McDavid, he was absolutely sensational. That one perfectly timed pokecheck when McD was flying towards the net was a thing of beauty.

The last time the Tampa Bay Lightning lost 2 playoff games in a row was in 2019 when Columbus swept them in the first round.
This is huge. Don’t fuck this up, New York.

Fleury would have been a good option but didn't he have a NTC? Edmonton weren't looking likely to make the playoffs at the deadline so he might not have been interested. Yeah I'm fairly certain Fleury had a NTC. But, I would be surprised that he would not want to go to Edmonton with McDavid, Draisaitl, and he would automatically be the number one goalie opposed to splitting time with Talbot. Oilers had a 5 game winning streak pre deadline, 35-24-5, and then went on an absolute hot streak to end the season. Still, I had no confidence in their goaltending.

Mike Smith is the living definition of Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde. He's the reason why the Oilers keep the game close, and the same reason why they lose them.

Games 2 and 3 he played well. You can’t give up 40+ shots a game against a team like that and expect to win.

I really don’t know, but Edmonton is toast now. Kadri isn’t nearly as bad as Evander Kane. Not even close. Kadri is a pest that has been suspended for a similar hit in the playoffs before but he’s cleaned up his act since. If those people are referring to the Binnington injury well they’re just dumb because that wasn’t even Kadri’s fault.
