Im all for letting the players play. Dont be calling a bunch of nonsense penalties. I had to see well over ten obvious interference plays by Florida. Thats not hockey. It makes the NHL look like a joke.

 

[Kovalev27]

We found a way to dominate a lot of that game. The Carolina series was funny because it felt like they pressed more and more and got better through every single game. Thought Tarasenko looked absolutely ass and they made Tkachuk a non factor most of the game.

Great game. Bring that shit three more times.

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]

The PP has to get on track. If these guys aren't afraid of taking penalties they're going to injure our players every game.

 

[Feel Shame]

I also wasnt aware that we were playing Carolina in this round. I thought we already beat

Easy mistake since ESPN probably think they're the Carolina Panthers of the NFL.

How’s this an easy mistake? From the worldwide leader in sports? Shows laziness, it’s called proofreading.

Fun fact Vinny Trochek has a goal and two primary assists on our three OT goals this year.

Vinny has been worth every penny of his contract. He’s the engine of this team.

Thoughts:

-Bob has yet to be tested, we can score if we start playing better
-Rangers passing has been weak/soft
-Florida chances are coming off of very fixable mistakes IMO, can they keep up their hard forecheck and back check all series?
-Not sure how they'll be at home, but on the road Florida seemed very content just playing defense
-Mika, Panarin or the PP wake up then we have a great chance.

“He’s been so important to the locker room, the leadership group, a lot of stuff that nobody ever sees or talks about,” captain Jacob Trouba said. “He’s a massive part of this team and the way he’s been playing in the playoffs, it’s a big reason. He’s one of those guys that gets teams to win, as he’s shown in his career.

“For him to get rewarded like that, it’s awesome. He’s a big-time player. He shows up in big-time games.”

But, but, the intangibles and the room don't matter. At least that's what I thought I heard from a few people around here.

The water changes in central Jersey. Nuff said.

When I lived in jersey the shower was atrocious. They have the hardest water, it really f***ed up my hair and skin.

 

[HolyHagelin]

I mean, could there have been a more surprising ending to that game than a f***ing Barclay Goodrow snipe?

A kakko goal would definitely have been more surprising

I second this.
How can we get the word out to ESPN to keep Wischusen on our broadcasts?

I for one plan to start blowong them up on twitter

 

[HolyHagelin]

It seems really hard to counter a false narrative these days. I don't know why. Each team has had 2 legit goals in the series. It's really not that hard to understand.

Most media has gotten progressively and systematically dumber over the years. All they are is narrative spewers, new info doesnt matter. Regular people can be convinced of reality quite easily in conversation, usually. Note: posters here are not
Regular people.

He was good tonight. A few bad icings and penalty he got caught in a bad spot. He was trying in the offensive zone to keep pucks alive along the boards and doing a good job of it.

And he's playing on one good leg.

His skating is clearly being effected by the knee

 

[LannyMcdonald]

Barclay f***ing Goodrow LMFAO

Suzyn Waldman Voice: OF ALL THE DRAMATIC THINGS

Also shoutout to Trouba for that outlet pass

Love it when a win comes from the guys who this board sh*ts all over incessantly

 

[McRanger92]

Has anyone mentioned how Lomborg headbutts Vesey with the puck nowhere in sight?

Man, the entire Devils board must have seen bigfoot as they're convinced that Goodrow played the puck with a high stick.

People with too much time on their hands

 

[Larrybiv]

4 goals in 12 playoff games. Goodrow quiet vacationed the regular season.

He did that on purpose, figured that no one would pay attention to him come the playoffs. What team is going to pay attention to a guy that scored, what? Four goals?

 

[94leetch]

The crowd roaring when Rempe won that face-off made me happy to be a Rangers fan.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Take a look at high danger chances and get back to me.

Honestly, I'll say they were even. Shesterkin let in a goal he saves 95 out of 100 times and that decision/Laf own goal was also a fluke. Two posts. If Schneider buries that breakaway it's a completely different game.

I don't have to get back to you. I watched the game. Florida outplayed us. The NYR players and coach also thought that.

Who made the pass to Trocheck? The other guy that's on everyone's dart board: Trouba.

 

[Larrybiv]

4 goals in 12 playoff games. Goodrow quiet vacationed the regular season.

Equalling his total in 80 reg season games. Btw, he's missed only 5 games in 3 seasons. 79, 82, 80 gp

No, they said they thought the Rangers had a better game in them. Here's the data on HD chances and expected goals. Both favor the Rangers.

 

[NYR Viper]

Goodrow was clearly hampered by the puck to the face early in the season. He was eating through a straw for a while and got behind in terms of strength and recovery. He’s a good soldier. He was never as bad as he was playing but he’s still not worth the contract. Both things can be true. He’s a 30 point bottom 6 heart and soul guy. I’ll say this, I’m happy he’s here for this playoff run

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.

Me too!
