Post-Game Talk: Cougar

[LaffyTaffy13]

Laf with a bad game to end all bad games this evening

He really didnt have that bad of a game. It was one bad bounce

 

[Ail]

Igor and not capitalizing were the difference. Not even mad they lost, just a boring game to stay up for. Imagine paying for this lol

 

[Cmox]

Not the end of the world. Gotta put in jones at this point.

 

[Zarao71]

What a F'n clown show. Stuck on 14 shots through about 55 minutes. Gave Bob his 1st shut out of the playoffs and put one in our own goal. Wennberg for a 2nd and change. F Off. Take him and his perfect hair and launch him to the moon. He hasn't done jack shit in 11 games now.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I’m not sure I agree about chance generation favoring NYR. Would like to see Vally’s numbers. Florida looked better at just about every aspect of the game at even strength. Completely shut down zone entries. Not gonna have a good time if NYR D can’t figure out how to beat their forecheck.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

never felt less confident in this team after that showing. Not saying series is over but I went from feeling like we could really in this to yea we’re gonna lose in 6. Very disappointed in this team tonight.

 

[Filip Chytil]

What an infuriating game.

We actually had more scoring chances in that shitshow. Igor lets in a dying moth and then spends the rest of the game playing the puck like he's being asked to pick up a centipede with his teeth.

f*** it. Put in Rempe because I want Alex Wennberg strapped to a canoe and sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

Be better Friday.

Put Tanner Glass in over Wennberg. I don't care.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

my biggest issue isn’t the first period but how we never improved as the game went on. usually we at least show some spunk, but we got nothing.

fox is very badly hurt and a huge concern. he had 5 days rest and doesn’t look any better. he’s nearing being a liability right now

I don’t know how you build off this game. all they had to do is score on one of their posts/open nets and they couldn’t.

overall uninspired is the adjective for this game.

incredibly frustrating.

 

[Raspewtin]

He really didnt have that bad of a game. It was one bad bounce

he was, beyond any doubt, the least effective player in the top 6 tonight and that's with Ros having his worst game as a ranger. I genuinely have no clue what you watched.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Need to turn the page. We can play with them.

Igor needs to be better. He basically gift wrapped that game for them. First goal was a muffin, needs to be stopped. Allowed them to be in control all night with the lead. The second goal is 100% on Igor. He makes a bad read and comes out and plays the puck which in itself is the wrong move, then he shoots it directly into the boards which is literally a pass to Verhaege. Laf was collateral damage trying to cover for Igor’s mistake. That entire play never should’ve happened, Gustafson had 5 steps on Verhaege he as getting to that puck easily.

Honestly all the feeling of long periods of being stifled overall we had the better chances imo.

 

[3rd Guy High]

Rangers were the better team with the better chances. Bob was the better goalie.

All series is going to be a defensive slog. We’ll see how patient they can be. Perfect road game by florida

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

nobody was good

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

First shutout since December.


I didn't see this coming. But again, stay the course, don't get down on yourself and regroup.

 

[Fitzy]

He really didnt have that bad of a game. It was one bad bounce

Everything he touched turned to stone through the first two periods

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

Rempe needs to be in and I think itll happen game 2. Zac jones should be in too but it wont happen

 

[EdJovanovski]

6-1 (20-3-1 incl. regular szn) with
2-3 (8-11-0) without

 

[Boris Zubov]

I know I sound crazy but would love to see Zac Jones. We need better puck movement.

It's never gonna happen, but Fox should sit. He's a cripple at this point.

 

[Levitate]

It's a long series.

We started generating a lot more in the third period. We had the better of the chances in that game, overall.

Sucks that it didn't go our way but I didn't see anything to indicate this is unwinnable.

Yeah Florida didn't really do a lot offensively.

What I"m seeing that is driving me nuts is the Rangers "breakouts". They started doing t his more against Carolina but the constant trying to chip it out or loft the puck out is crap. They need a better gameplan.

Shesterkin blew it on that own goal. He didn't need to come out to play the puck originally, then he played it extremely poorly, then he tried to poke check the puck his own man was back on. Just completely blew that play, that's all on him.

Panarin needs to be aggressive and attack the net. He got lost in the "pull up and wait for teammates" thing again.

Puck support was pretty poor, guys too widely spaced, making every pass hard.

Fox is really laboring, not really sure if the Rangers can go all the way with him playing like this even if this series remains competitive.

Gotta make higher percentage plays and get to the net more

 

[bleedblue94]

I'll be shocked if chytil plays Friday. He was not right after that hit at the end of the game. Guy needs to protect his life with these head injuries.

Based on the general lack of energy in the building tonight rempe should be in simply bc his presence ignites the crowd and that should help give energy to the team. Rough one tonight, but out of everything I am most concerned for chytil and his personal life.

 

[LORDE]

Here's to the "We got to the EC Finals!" Crowd.

Cheers. Another "Success"

 

[17futurecap]

Schneider breakaway
Cuylle breakaway
Zibs one timer before second ended
Wennberg Laf mess before the too
Many men on Florida.
Chances on the too many men

Igor not good at all, a whiff on the first goal and then made the second goal an absolute mess.

Like always, it’s on the top six to score because the bottom six sure as shit can’t.

 

[Wtp99]

The panthers physicality seemed to overwhelm the rangers. The officiating was horrid, but that’s been the whole playoffs. The hitting from behind , late hits, the Rangers did not match that. Bad time for a clunker. Losing the first game is not good but it is not the end of the world

 

[Machinehead]

What an infuriating game.

f*** it. Put in Rempe because I want Alex Wennberg strapped to a canoe and sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

Be better Friday.

The best look of the game for either team was that rush where Bobrosvky lost his crease and the puck skittered out to a Ranger with a yawning net.

It was Alex Wennberg.

We lose.

He shouldn't be on the PP at this point. We shit on Lindgren but Fox taking a shot is as good as giving up the puck.
