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

[Siddi]

No matter what happens I want Mika off this team next year. I don't care if we win the cup and he scores a hat trick in game 7. f*** him.

You will be gone before him.

The pathetic showing is the fans in this thread.

What has the team done with this game to get on the fans from being pissed?

I do think if the period ends with a team on the pp, the faceoff to open the next period should start in the pk’ing team’s zone

Everyone but the competition committee thinks that too. just makes total sense

This!!!

I don’t know how the rangers are going to create more offensively, I just don’t.

Hitting the net and not having sticks break will help

 

[Boris Zubov]

Florida hasn't really generated anything either.

Rangers have had like 4 good scoring chances which isn't good, but the Panthers have had 2.

Yep. This is a dark ages/dead puck hockey game.

 

[DoTheBlue]

Down 1 with a period to go. Very winnable game.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Win this one for Sam boys

They're not generating anything by design. They can sleepwalk their way to a 1-0 win.

 

[HANK30]

Our breakouts from our zone absolutely suck.

 

[80s Kid]

1st PP opportunity at the end of the 2nd period. This is one of the reasons we don't look great. Good news is we're only down by 1.

 

[RangerLifer]

They're gonna pull a win out of their ass tonight. They've been doing it all year.

In this game? I don’t know.

But I’ve watched 96 games this year. They can flip a switch.

high flips, create footraces, and shoot the stupid puck as soon as your in a position to. everybody else get to the net. you have to make florida try to control chaos. they can't

 

[Breaded Fox]

Wake them up lavi!! Punch Jimmy if needed

 

[duhmetreE]

This team has earned the benefit of the doubt this year. They have proven that they are able to come back. Needs to be a totally different period, though. Outside the first three minutes, they were unable to generate anything.

penalty changed momentum again

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Being shut down but also being too careful. Shades of game 5 against Car.

Good thing: it’s only 1-0.

Big third let’s go

 

[TGWL]

2-1 Rangers after 2. Remember this post.

There's a typo, somewhere.

 

[mrmovies779]

I didn't think they could play as bad as the 1st...boy,was I wrong.They aren't generating anythng.Went 16 minutes without a shot lol

I think the point is, don't be pissed off about things that haven't even happened yet, like the rest of the series. This game isn't even over yet, and it is not even the worst game they have played. Get mad if they are down 3-0 in the series, not 1-0 in a slow boring ass game one

 

[duhmetreE]

Wake them up lavi!! Punch Jimmy if needed

or stop playing Vesey and Goodrow

 

[The Crypto Guy]

The losers here are probably whining about being swept. We’ve had the better looks. It’s a meh game. Should be 1-0 us or 0-0.

It what world should we be up 1-0? Panther’s have grossly outplayed us all game. The fact it’s still a 1-0 game is incredible, but will mean nothing if we play the 3rd like we did the second.

 

[Vitto79]

If Roslovic stinks in the 3rd he’s getting benched for Wheeler whether anyone here likes it or not

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Sean McDonagh is a f***ing HORRIBLE play by player announcer.

This duo is brutal together.

f*** them both. LETS GO RANGERS!!!!

And f*** PK too

 

[Reijo29]

Bob outplaying Shesty so far in game 1, didn't see that coming. He's the reason the Rangers aren't up right now.

The Rangers had 3 shots that period. They have 10 shots all game
