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

[SnowblindNYR]

I don't know anyone whose game plan is "don't try to score."

This is an igor softie and shitty puck luck away from being a defensive masterclass.

Rangers in game 5 against Carolina?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

The 2 breakaways and the Mika empty net miss are better looks than anything Florida had.

But yet, they have the lead and they are the one preventing the Rangers to have any offense at all.

 

[hackeyman]

I was at a friends house. Vibe for winning this game didn’t feel right so I left early and am back home.

That's dedication !

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

As bad as the Rangers have looked you'd think they're down 5-0 or getting outshot 40-10 listening to Subban.

Cuz they’re not really in this game as the score might suggest.

 

[Kovalev27]

Why not have rempe running people and getting victimized with calls? That'll at least get the PP chances for both sides going

We lose this game and Kakko might be in the press box for him on Friday

 

[Kane One]

ESPN crew has me wondering what Butch Goring is up to.

He went back to his nest to hibernate until autumn.

I hate Subban the slewfooter, I don't hate Subban the commentator: he is the anti biz, he wants the Rangers to win

 

[TGWL]

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

Once again the weak call ruined all momentum.

 

[Captain Monglobster]

Its not as bad as it looks. They do need to handle the forecheck better and stop passing to no one that would help.

 

[Reijo29]

This cute shit is not going to work guys.

Throw pucks on net and try to get a rebound.

This ^^^

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

But yet, they have the lead and they are the one preventing the Rangers to have any offense at all.

Dude, it’s 2 periods IN GAME 1. Relax.

 

[Machinehead]

This game is firmly in the "more boring than bad" category so far.

 

[duhmetreE]

Florida really isn't generating much but neither are we.

They have the game right where they want it. Strong road game by them so far. They are denying us our rush game and let our oafish D have the puck as much as they want, which they can all night without being threatening whatsoever.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Win the period. Win the game. Hopefully this team has 8 more rabbits in their arse (hat)

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I hate Subban the slewfooter, I don't hate Subban the commentator: he is the anti biz, he wants the Rangers to win

Where is that coming from?

 

[Svenhart2008]

Moneypuck says we should be winning btw.

 

[Zynbanejad]

Mess is spot on

What he say?

 

[n8]

I said this in the pre-game thread, just put Rempe on the jumbo-tron. Get the Garden rockin' Our 6th player is a no show because the other 5 aren't giving us anything to cheer about.

Down 1 goal is a place we've been MANY times. We've been down 2, 3 goals and made comebacks. LGR

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Vesey

It should be.

He's been dreadful.

 

[Reijo29]

Anyone who even thinks this is as close as the score isn't being honest.

I mean wow.

Theyre getting schooled in all 3 zones

Playing awful so far

 

[DialUp]

Where is that coming from?

I don't know, but he has been pumping their tires since the start of the playoffs

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

No one is getting dominated. It’s a sloppy game. They got in some hits and frustrated us. They are not dominating us.

 

[RangerLifer]

I hate Subban the slewfooter, I don't hate Subban the commentator: he is the anti biz, he wants the Rangers to win

Does he really?

 

[Kocur26]

We have a Sasquatch sitting in the garage and we’re afraid to use him - instead we’ve got to watch Jimmy VC skate around aimlessly
