Post-Game Talk: Cane

[Crease]

Can't forget that the Canes are a really good team.

All season long, we talked about how Carolina and the Florida teams were the Rangers biggest hurdles. One of the Florida teams is out and the Rangers have Carolina 3-1. The Canes a really good team and so are the Rangers. A lot to feel good about right now.

Well I just mean he was definitely in their heads and all the talk in the media and from Rod was about Igor pretty much being the difference.

I think I’m annoyed a little extra bc of my PTSD of this team not being able to ever close anything out ever. But really because it felt like Carolina had basically nothing in the last 40 minutes and then a completely unearned PP is given to them bc of Lingren’s ineptitude and they score their first Pp goal of the series to win. Just extremely frustrating when it felt like the Canes were basically rolled over on their backs just waiting to lose that game. It wasn’t a game where they were throwing everything at us like the last two.

We sucked the first ten minutes of the third, but yeah we really took over.

It felt like if that went another few minutes at 5v5, we would have scored.

Well, at this point, it's Florida team, hold the plural, but your point is taken.

Starting this postseason 7-1 only strengthens my feeling that we would have beaten the Lightning in 3.

Yeah that’s how I felt too, it felt like we were in total control and Carolina wasn’t threatening at all. Had them right where we wanted them. Then that dumb penalty. Which was even more annoying after watching like 3 penalties a shift go uncalled right before that.

 

[Sayba]

Worse than I thought

 

[hardnosed]

That really is amazing. Nothing left to say. And that game winner was the only one while on the PK

 

[17futurecap]

That’s insane lmao.

 

[Rangers in 7]

well, can't win them all

 

[yrrebbor]

I just can’t get over how lackluster we were after laffy tied it.

we were playing to not lose. that went horribly.

Waited for them to make a mistake instead of playing their game.

 

[Crease]

Trouba is an oil tanker out there.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

This is what bothers me. Last two series losses, we had a chance to go 3-0 and lost two winnable games where we had leads. Game 4 we lost games that weren't even close. There's no guarantee that because we had a great shot this game to win that that opportunity will be available next game. You just can't squander opportunities like this, ugh.

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

Didn't even get a decent scoring chance with the net empty. Brutal.

Rangers:
- worst 5 on 6 team
- worst 6 on 5 team

Two things that can be true at the (almost) same time.

 

[nevesis]

Here's the full sequence. I think Igor probably could've had that. Granted, I'm not a goalie. @nevesis what do you think?

Igor's also been unbelievable this series and a big reason why we're up 3-1 right now.

He definitely should have had that. Valiquette stated that in the post game as well. Clear sighted shot and Jarvis’ stick is not enough to create a screen. He misread it.

 

[will1066]

First goal is still on Goodrow for forcing a pass into the middle to push the attack and getting it intercepted.

 

[Leonardo87]

I missed this entire game, was stuck at a party, just got home.

So, really can’t critique the game, but I didn’t think Carolina was going to go out in 4 games. Just win it Monday, and don’t even think about bringing this back to NC.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Me and Rod agree on something.

We had a good chance almost every time we touched the puck 30 out of the last 40 minutes and they didn't look like they were scoring at 5v5 again tonight.

100%. I thought game 1 was worse for them offensively but this was by far their worst defensive effort.

reset for Game 5 @ MSG and pray for Chytil

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

JB is a waste of a roster spot. His mother must be so proud.

He’s 42.

His mother must be so proud old.

 

[will1066]

Lavi and staff will need to game plan for their one-timer wrinkle.

The one damn time I need puckluck to talk the board off the ledge...

 

[Machinehead]

It's kinda crazy how much consternation there is over whether Rempe or Brodzinski is on the bench holding a clipboard while one of our defensemen has been on the ice for every goal they've scored.

 

[yrrebbor]

Rangers came back from 2-0 and 3-1 in this game. Should've had more than one goal out of that 2nd period. Laf looked great. They've gotta come out hard on Monday and get the job done.

A couple hit the iron, which could have easily gone in with a millimeter in the other direction.

 

[Savant]

He is.

Trouba played 16 minutes. That's nothing for a defenseman.

Sometimes he's so bad that we can't even hide him.

11/7 and play Jones.

 

[Jack Hanson]

I think if Chytil isnt playing Mon then play Rempe

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

That was completely unscreened from the blue line are u kidding? This isn’t 1983

He was supposed to say “literally” three times.
