Rangers Leave Tampa Bay Thunderstruck


Recommended Posts

After their nail-biting end of the season win against Toronto to sneak into the playoffs, the Rangers faced a tough first round opponent in Tampa Bay, who finished the year with 45 points to the Rangers 34. Game one was a defensive struggle, as the Rangers only goal came from Darren Turcotte. The final was 1-0, as the Lightning only managed 5 shots.

In game two the Lightning offense showed signs of life, as Brian Bradley got them on the board first, ending Vanbiesbrouck's shutout streak at 3:40 of the first. Mike Gartner answered 10 seconds later, tying the game. Turcotte added his second and third of the series, putting the Rangers up 3-1. Bradley struck again in the middle of the third, but then was sent to the penalty box for a vicious hit on Ranger defenseman James Patrick that left him flat on the ice. Patrick wouldn't return, but neither would the Lightning's offense, as Bradley sat in the box for the remainder of the Rangers 3-2 win. Tampa Bay again only managed 5 shots on goal.

The third game belonged solely to Turcotte, as he scored 4 goals and an assist in the Rangers 5-4 win. The offenses finally got on track for both teams. Bradley managed a hat trick in the defeat. With the Rangers up 4-3 late, Turcotte fed Esa Tikkanen with a beautiful pass, enabling him to add an insurance goal. This was lucky for the Rangers as Bradley would score with 23 seconds left, from Kasper. It wasn't enough for the Lightning, as they now faced elimination.

The fourth game of the series finally swung a speck of momentum to the Lightning, as they won 4-2. Turcotte was in the box for nearly the entire second half of the third, powerless to help stop their attack.

The city of New York got the second biggest news of their week as the Rangers won the series with a 5-4 victory. They took a 2-1 lead on an innocent-looking shot from Brian Leetch that managed to get by Wendell Young who was standing around admiring his attempted outlet pass. Turcotte refused to be denied, finishing with a hat trick and an assist. The game was tied late, but then Turcotte juked the entire Tampa defense and slid a perfect pass to Gartner, who had a wide open net and scored with 10 seconds left. "It feels nice to finally beat those [guys]", Rangers coach Vocally Caged said after the game. His Hartford team was bounced from the playoffs by Tampa Bay last season.

Series star: Turcotte. He stymied the Tampa defense again and again, breaking free and scoring at will.

Series goat: Marc Bergevin. The Tampa Bay defenseman managed to take at least one penalty in each of the first four games, often at terrible moments.

Ahh these sort of write ups take me back a few years when these sorta things took place much more frequently. Great job on advancing vocal.

As for you Zalex, you mofape, thats one hell of a season with Tampa...but not the best! I got to game 6 in the 1st round before being taken out by Habs. Try again kid.

I'd like to throw my Ottawa performance as the best with a garbage team. I qualified and got swept by Frey's Detroit, if i recall correctly though, 3 of those games were 1 goal losses, a bounce here or there, and I SWEEP YOU FREY! :lol:

Well he's right, only champions are gay. That's why I lose every time in the playoffs, to preserve my manhood.

Haha coming from the idiot who starting this pissing contest by bragging about regular season wins.. I think some of the scrubs (namely you) around here are getting a little over confident with themselves. In case you've forgotten, every gdl/blitz/classic title in the last 3 seasons belongs to Me, (5) Swos, (2) Freydey, (1) or KGman (1). so until you actually prove your worth, please get back into the kiddy pool and stop trying to pick fights w the big boys.
