Post-Game Talk: Cougar

[Synergy27]

@nevesis is this Valley telling it like it is?

Every analytics source under the sun says we outplayed them.

Ugly? Yes. Boring? All-timer. But it wasn't terrible.

This is what I saw.

Again, we can totally beat them. But if it takes seven games that look like that last one good luck getting me to pay attention.

Smurfs, that brings back fond memories of taking out a much more menacing Flyers team

Before my time. Herb brooks coached them I think

Even if we win this series I will hate my life every game. Just brutal. I'm a huge hockey fan but sometimes I'm not a fan of playoff hockey.

I suggest another sport for you.You can't handle the ebs and flows of this sport.its just a game and you react like its life or death.I mean this sincerely too,you take this entirely too serious.

I don't think every game will be like that.

Both teams were in the top half in goals scored.

The officiating really hasn't helped. We watched rugby yesterday.

I'm referring to how boring the game was. What does that have to do with taking it too seriously?

Captain Brady Tkachuk and Team USA knocked out of the World Championships 1-0.

Guy just hates to lose.

Then respond to those posts not the one that this is completely irrelevant for.

What bail you out? How about make a simple save and don't turn the puck over? The offense did nothing, however Igor wasn't asked to do much of anything Avs he still couldn't do it.



He produced fine all season with Lindgren.

I meant in general; how many times has the team had to have either Shesterkin or Jonathan Quick bail them out when they played like shit in front of them? Obviously, Shesterkin gifted 2 goals to the Panthers last night; that can't happen, especially in a tight playoff game when the team's offence is struggling.

To be honest, I'm not sure those plays mattered; the Rangers were not going to score a goal last night and Florida would've found a way to get a goal. The Panthers are the better team, and they are on a mission to complete their "unfinished business" after losing in the Cup final last season.

I would be here for months responding to those posts.I don't have that much free time on my hands

 

[nsvoyageurs]

nah, we just need ONE.

I'd rather have multiple Cups; make up for the opportunities lost/wasted over the years LOL

 

[Megustaelhockey]

I really don't know how Lavi sleeps at night

On top of a pile of money with many beautiful ladies.

Honestly they did not look anything special last night. How great they are is completely overblown. If we score on one or two of our golden opportunities and Shesterkin's head is not in Brighton Beach we win that game. Did the Panthers' offense do anything all game? And we had few chances but the ones we got were good mostly. We had unfinished business in the ECF in 2015 how did that go?

Lmao exactly what I was thinking

 

[McRanger92]

Can someone come up with a good reason not to insert Wheeler besides “he’s slow”? Kakko is slow. Vesey is slow. Wheeler has 900+ NHL points and is the most fresh body on either team. Would be an injustice to sit Ros who has been a factor in both series. In a just world Kakko rides the pine….again. Just telling it like it is right now.

Another USA masterpiece

They suck so bad in tournaments that aren’t Junior

 

[ohbaby]

If Rempe isn't in the lineup tomorrow, I will shut the game off and blame Lavi for losing his mind.

The Panthers weren't great last night, but they didn't have to be. They did what they had to do. I think the Panthers are a better team, though it was not meant to be a dig at the Rangers; they're up there, but just below the Panthers in my opinion.

A team can have a mission; sometime they complete it, sometimes they don't. Obviously the 2015 Rangers didn't complete it. Not saying the Panthers will complete it; they may; they are 7 wins away from doing so, but the other at least 2 teams still playing will have a say whether or not they do.

 

[Crease]

Won’t happen but if it were me:

Kreider - Zibanejad - Wheeler
Panarin - Trocheck - Lafreniere
Cuylle - Chytil - Kakko
Goodrow - Wennberg - Rempe

Lindgren - Fox
Miller - Schneider
Jones - Trouba

Roslovic, Vesey, and Gustafsson sitting.

We are underdogs and so a bit of calculated risk is needed. Rempe creates emotion which we lack at times. Lets muck it up and see where the special teams take us

 

[will1066]

Phone battery at 73% it's a sign.

 

[Crease]

Tkachuk and Lomberg running around in the final minute without response bothered me. Total emasculation.

 

[FultonReed]

I'll do it.

I'm running at about 20/250 without my glasses.

wow you should just wear an eye patch on the right eye

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Edmonton has Ekholm, Bouchard.
Dallas Heiskanen, Tanev, Lindell, the ghost of Ryan Suter.
Florida has Ekblad, Forsling, Montour, Ekman-Larsson.

Miller and Schneider have performed admirably but these guys are like net neutrals at best. Fox isn’t even playing like Fox. Trouba is back playing in the top-4 and he’s actively bad.

We don’t have a Stralman to anchor the second pair.

No, they are not. They are top 4 guys on nearly every roster in the league. The Rangers blueline was also 3rd in the league in scoring this year. Hard to do when you have Fox and nobody else. None of those bluelines you mentioned are that great btw. Florida is good, not great.
