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

[Crease]

Is Bob a stand up goalie now?

 

[Kane One]

MDZ at the game, get him a jersey to skate the puck out of the zone.

I now feel old that that era’s Rangers are now broadcasters, former players on the jumbotron, or a head coach.

 

[17futurecap]

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

The shift to start the game felt like it was never going to end with him chasing the puck handler around, brutal seeing him like that.

 

[Larrybiv]

Wow, only 20 minutes in, and PK's already all over the Panthers lower extremities They said that the Panthers played such a good period, I beg to differ. I thought we played like crap, so many missed passes, fumbles, giveaways, just about the only thing that we did right was Schneider's break away.
By the way, I had to laugh when they said when was the last time Schneider had a breakaway. Yeah dummies, 3.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

"Would have been 4-0 without Shesterkin."

On what? The Panthers did nothing.

well the Panthers had 4 SOG so if we had no goalie they all would have went in.

What the hell is PK talking about? What great saves kept it from being 4-0?

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

PK Subban makes money analyzing this stuff. Without Igor it’s 4-0? Expected goals .5 to .5. Lying for his narrative.

Biggest clown in any hockey related media.

 

[Bob Richards]

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

No we were simply massacred physically. The -3 hit differential was like the bombing of Dresden on MSG ice.

Is the Florida watch party in an office building cafeteria? Wtf was that?

They are BOTH pretty rusty, thankfully.

Is Bob a stand up goalie now?

He is a throw his stick down and pray and if that doesn’t work you will probably get called for GI

 

[noncents]

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

no disagreement.

 

[Machinehead]

I didn't feel like either team was overly physical. The only thing that was annoying in that regard was Tkachuk hitting Trocheck two and a half weeks after Trocheck got rid of the puck, but what can you do?

That was just a boring ass period where nobody did anything and they got a soft goal. I wouldn't read much into it.

 

[hardnosed]

BTW, Bob looks stiff. Get shots on net please

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I miss Biz.

ESPN is so amateur

Any network that employs Emily Kaplan is not serious. Boomer Esiason basically hinted that she got the job because she knew someone. She sounds like a 16 year old if she were doing interviews for a school project.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

2-1 rangers at the end of 2. Book it.

 

[will1066]

Lavi right now showing the team one of those AI generated videos of himself and everyone's hootin and hollering.

Stay loose. Stay cised.

Someone got a job because of who they knew?!?

Welcome to life lol.

 

[Machinehead]

Their countdown to faceoff is just the countdown to the commercials before the faceoff.

the issue is frequently 1 goal becomes 3 goals relatively quickly. we let things snowball

now the intermission should help, but who the f*** knows with this team

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Got em right where we want them.

 

[Siddi]

idc about this game as much. But the long layoff is brutal for our team specifically, they are always trash after a long layoff. They are, and always have been, a chemistry and momentum team. They are all out of whack.

Team came out big dick swinging against the Canes after a week off between round 1 and 2. The team played their best hockey after the week long All star break.

 

[Bob Richards]

BTW, Bob looks stiff.

Brother I'm over 4 hours now and urgent care isn't taking my calls

 

[LORDE]

In the first period of the first game of the ECF? Yeah. Sure.

You have MUCH lower expectations than I do

and probably Drury does.

Did Kreider & Z even play?

Bread did... we all saw his amazing giveaway

This isn't good enough & won't be going forward.
