Post-Game Talk: Alpha Males

[pld459666]

I think, as a team, the Rangers can be sharper with the puck.

Flubbed passes, careless dump-ins that do not get past defenders. Passive chips that go no where, Mika's occasional reluctance to dump when there's no support. Hard around's with three guys chasing as opposed to two guys on the other side ready to meet the puck.

Don't go where the puck WAS, go to where the puck will be.

All of that can be remedied.

I had the same reaction , PK but I ran more.

 

[DevilDog99]

I am very happy right now!

The lineup change was the right one imo.

 

[Levitate]

goodrowes winner definitely was “soft” but IMO that’s kind of Bob
It was a well placed shot, Bob had to move a bit, and it went high on him. He’ll let some of those in

 

[Larrybiv]

I honestly couldn't enjoy the GWG as much as I wanted to because I instantly thought it would get challenged or reviewed or called back or some other BS.

I celebrated and forced my will on that goal being good. Was a freakin' maniac, screaming like a bitch!

21-3-1 with Rempe in the Lineup

The shocking thing is its PK of all people, acting like that

Its hard to look good when you are getting mugged ten feet away from the puck over and over again and it not being called.

Real talk though. I was on that level last night. I got put on a new BP med due to a shortage of my current one and apparently a side effect is that it heightens the impact of alcohol.

Three drinks. Three. I usually have three by the end of the first period in the playoffs.

When Goodrow scored im fairly certain all 550 houses in my neighborhood were awoken by my drunken screams.

It's not that. Guys are not sharp with the puck with pressure bearing down.

It's correct able.

 

[Peltz]

This is definitely an oversimplification, but Panarin and Laf seem to feast on bad opposition more than most guys. Florida doesn't really offer bad matchups to them, and they either get stopped from making pretty plays or resort to just flinging shit at the net (or more often, a skater blocking them). They need to find a middle ground.

Laf made a brilliant hit to set up that first goal. He’s doing great.

 

[jay from jersey]

Chy looks really good. His skating and puck handling are giving us an added dimension.

They really need to just shoot the puck more. Felt like by the 3rd period they said f*** it and started throwing everything at the net

That’s the thing that’s key here…. More volume on borat.

Can’t take 20-25 shots and be too selective….. even if some are low quality, it causes more fatigue and it forces that space cadet to stay focused more.
More shots and more traffic in front.
That’s got to be the game plan with a team that is content to score a goal and clog up the rink like a bad dump for the rest of the game.

We keep saying it's correctable, yet it's something the Rangers defense has struggled with going back to the Hank years.

It's not correctable. Some players handle pressure well. Some don't. Ours, generally, don't.

 

[Rongomania]

I’m not seeing a whole lot from the Florida forwards outside of barkov and Lomberg frankly. The Rangers have shut them down thru 2 games. The narrative won’t tell that story but that is very much reality

 

[94leetch]

A Cats fan on the mains opined that the Rangers won because they wanted it more in OT.
Umm.
So once OT started the Cats lost interest ?
Talk about a back handed compliment.

It was definitely well-placed.

The Rangers were more desperate for the win. Florida is fine with the split, we needed that victory. Going to Florida down 2-0...

You guys take what other people say way too seriously

Same thing as people complaining how the broadcast on ESPN was leaning Panthers.

Like who cares what other people think lol

 

[Kupo]

Your comment when I said sit kakko for rempe. I guess the brass agreed last night.

Ok.

LOL better ask your doctor if it's okay to drink on that new med. That sounds aggressive.

My takeaway from that is it's a serious cope which displays a little doubt which makes me happy.

 

[haohmaru]

LOL okay we (NYR) played better than Florida in game 1. Your charts say it so it must be true. Strange how people watching the game didn't feel that way at all during it.

Didn’t say we played better. Said it was even and Florida had a couple of fluke goals to our two posts.

Oh, and there’s the pesky little fact that I watched the game too.

 

[BlueShirtGal]

I didn't get to see the end as I had to go to the hospital (my sister was asking for me). Anyway, what an exciting conclusion to the OT! Keep up the hard work boys!

 

[TheWrongWay]

Outscored Fla 2-0 at ES.

So much for the can only win with special teams narratives.

Good game from both teams. As expected, this is a very tight series.

Love. No. LOVE that ESPN crew pays so much attention to our lack of shots but when Florida had 1 in like 10 minutes it’s f***ing crickets.

So skewed towards the Panthers.
