Post-Game Talk: Devil IV

[PlamsUnlimited]

Good to see two games out of 16 are good enough to show some urgency and stones in. Was fun while it lasted

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Disgraceful performance honestly. Did it every feel like the Rangers were generating chances? Did Schmid make one good save you remembered? I certainly remember the GWG being a stinker by Igor, that's for sure.

Choking away a 2-0 lead with 2 straight losses on home ice is a joke. Panarin? Mika? Chytil? Lafreniere? Anybody?

Is that the worst 6 on 5 you've ever seen? Didn't even have a single shot attempt.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

That was a complete embarrassment.

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Outmanned on every single loose puck. PP 5v5 PK doesn’t matter

 

[17futurecap]

Kakko hitting a shoulder, and Jack going in a on breakaway in the first sums up their careers.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

This franchise is a cancer. Seriously I'mv done being a fan.

See you Wednesday.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Devils found their game it’s that simple. They shook off the jitters and G3 was a huge confidence builder.

Rangers generated jack shit in terms of scoring chances. Can’t break out or cross the blueline effectively. Basically exactly what I fear led would happen in this series.

Played old slow and dumb.

 

[RGY]

Gallant with a piss poor job of coaching.

No reason to panic and flip Zibanejad and Trocheck.

Zibanejad is yet again a major issue in the 1st round. Just a major issue. He has been putrid. And its Gallant’s fault for putting him out there with the goalie pulled. He didn’t deserve to be out there. Get it together Gallant.

They didn’t even seem to care with the empty net.

This team is a f***ing country club for mercenaries. We don't have leadership or even a single guy on this team outside the goalie, as usual, who gives a shit about the Ranger sweater. None of these guys bleed blue.

 

[qwertyaas]

Yikes....at least games in Jersey don't feel like away games. Can't throw in the towel at 2-2. But you can if the offensive effort remains like this.

Problem is, even if the Rangers turn it around, teams see how easy it is to rattle them.

They are not this juggernaut from Games 1 and 2 any longer.

 

[17futurecap]

Also stop giving pp 2 a full minute

 

[LeetchisGod]

Losing this series should have dire consequences for Gallant and this core.

 

[B17 Apricots]

The thing I don't understand, for a team struggling 5v5 that's over reliant on the PP... half of Mikas goals came on the powerplay, he was 3rd in the entire league in PP goals.. why the f*** are you moving that guy from where he had all his success ? It makes absolutely no sense. They handicapped themselves in that aspect

 

[I Eat Crow]

This is exactly why I was doing zero gloating after Game 2. You're not in trouble until you lose at home and away. We've got a series now.

The extra day off will work in the Rangers' favor. The Devils will want to get back out there ASAP.

Heads will roll if this team loses 4 straight again after winning the first two, so at least there's that I think.

 

[McRanger92]

Hughes>>>>> Panarin/Mika. That’s the difference.

 

[rangersfansince08]

can I seriously make a serious rebuild thread? thats how pissed off I am and how down on this team I am

 

[will1066]

Our stars are soft. Our kids are busts. The team is slow.

It's true. Zib and Panarin are great regular season players. Kreider at least has been doing his one thing he knows how to do well. Always felt Zib is one dimensional with some flash on the rush. But he's not a cycle player board monster that you need in the playoffs.

I don't need to repeat about Panarin.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

I’m no joke devastated. After those first two games I feel lied to.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Losing this series should have dire consequences for Gallant and this core.

More the players than the coach, IMO. The coach doesn't control if this team loses 4 in a row twice in a row.

 

[Oak]

Winnipeg will provide me the playoff hockey that my soul desires.

 

[mrmovies779]

Every good thing they did in the 1st 2 games,they refused to do in the last 2.Devils in 6.I have no confidence in this group to win another game.Trade bread

 

[LeetchisGod]

Panarin is so awful in the playoffs. Just a total moron.

This is the most talented Ranger team in probably 25 years and they’re going to mess it up.

It's on brand

 

[SimpleJack]

I’ve never been more confident of anything in my life as I am that the NYR will win the next 2 games and take the series 4-2. No need to worry.

 

[Machinehead]

PP might get hot again. You hang your hopes on that.

At 5v5, this is the offense they have. It's the 5v5 offense they've had all year.

Throwing forwards at it isn't addressing the issue. No speed, no rush offense, and one defenseman who can move the puck.
