GDT: ECF: Game 1 - New York Rangers vs Florida Panthers, 8pm ET, ESPN

[noncents]

gotta hit to hurt boys this is ECF.

 

[mrmovies779]

This is a series a puck moving defenseman like Jones would thrive in

 

[duhmetreE]

Wennberg the only one decent with the puck

They have to settle down

 

[chosen]

Panarin needs to make a decision with the puck

Whem you're one on three, you either give it to the other team or wait for help. Waiting was the right decision.

 

[Kovalev27]

I really don’t have an issue with the period. I don’t think fla had a great chance. Thought we had the better chances. Igor just gives up a ridiculous goal. Just cannot happen. That’s as bad a goal as any that Andersen gave up to us.

gotta hit to hurt boys this is ECF.

they really didn't want to play the body that period. Get them some amphetamines

 

[SnowblindNYR]

We were cooking until the penalty. The PK got the job done but it seemed to change momentum.

Always love to see them arbitrarily call an infraction that happened every waking moment of the period.

I thought the period was fine save for a couple of shifts. Which makes the goal all the more unforgiveable. I frankly thought that period would in the upper half of periods we played against the Canes. The Panthers didn't look all that scary in the first period.

 

[Raspewtin]

good news is they have a lot of room to be better and i'm sure they will be.

 

[DanielBrassard]

It’s really frustrating how labored Fox is, he’s really not much of a factor offensively at all.

I thought Zib came to play. He looked sharp.

 

[mike14]

Hits are 12-9, the biggest hit they threw was on Tro and Gus threw one that was basically the same straight after, it just wasn't in open ice so didn't get a replay.
Y'all need valium or something

counterpoint - he is still basically all world defensively

 

[Machinehead]

"Would have been 4-0 without Shesterkin."

On what? The Panthers did nothing.

I miss Biz.

ESPN is so amateur

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Subban is a f***ing idiot. Nothing to do with Shesterkin, I'm obviously overreacting to one goal. But it wasn't for Shesterkin it would be 4-0 in that period? What period was he watching? The Panthers had nothing that period.

 

[Uglybstrd]

Going to have to raise our level of play several notches.

Yes, that was a pretty crappy first by the Rangers

 

[rangersfansince08]

counterpoint - he is still basically all world defensively

he is, we'll still need more if we want to win this series and the next one

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Can’t complain about the calls either this is the ecf and refs aren’t gonna call shit until they feel like it or it’s egregious.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

It’s really frustrating how labored Fox is, he’s really not much of a factor offensively at all.

Lindgren is a bigger issue there than his knee is.

 

[will1066]

Now I know why Schneider didn't score. Pass came from Kakko

 

[EdJovanovski]

the Rangers must have by far the fewest points from dmen of the final 4 and proabably final 8 teams.

Probably from the bottom 6 too i bet

I remember seeing a graphic that we had the least from our dmen of any team still in the playoffs last round

 

[Kovalev27]

"Would have been 4-0 without Shesterkin."

I have no idea what he’s talking about

 

[Machinehead]

I miss Biz.

Now you're just being silly.

 

[yrrebbor]

It’s really frustrating how labored Fox is, he’s really not much of a factor offensively at all.

He’s playing though something painful; maybe a broken finger or a sprain.

 

[DialUp]

Everyone get a colonoscopy.

next Friday for me
