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

[BleedBlueNYR]

I’ve panicked after losing game 1s before. I dont feel good but I’m not going to panic. Go out and win game 2. If that doesn’t go our way I’ll be in shambles.

 

[DuneGoon84]

Suffocating and heavy. They're not gonna do a whole lot with Florida settled in. It's going to be counterpunching to wins in this series and getting some fortuitous bounces

I guarantee that if make good passes we win tbis series, our game hinges on crisp passing. We don't recover when we start games so off.

 

[DumpnChase12]

I knew the long lay off would mess things up....

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

And Chytil slams his head into the boards to end the game.

how fitting

 

[tlk]

Bob 1 - 0 Shesty

 

[hardnosed]

Bench Wennberg for Rempe. We don't need a 4th line defensive center when we have zero offense. Rather have a physical guy.

 

[RangerLifer]

Fil's barely played tonight. 8 mins so far. He is clearly not right.

That's not shocking.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Wennberg lol

Would've been nice to get a replay on that entire sequence. ESPN's coverage is such garbage.

 

[noncents]

can't win if you don't score.

tough to be connected as a team without Fox able to contribute offensively.

none of the other D are willing to skate it up or join the play.

 

[Wtp99]

So will Lavi shake up the line up?

He needs to insert Rempe, Chytil was invisible

 

[Kane One]

This is probably the most confident I’ve ever felt after a game 1 loss.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Team got forechecked to hell

 

[2Leetch_94]

Looked like two teams coming off a big layoff.

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

Rempe and Jones need to be in the lineup.

Indeed. We need energy and ability to break out of our own zone

 

[MysticLeviathan]

we have too many players who shouldn’t be playing. vesey, wennberg, trouba, lindgren, gus should all be sitting

 

[Black Aces]

Soft goal and a huge gaff lost the game.

Bob out goalied Igor tonight. Just couldn't convert.

Win the next one.

dont forget not scoring a goal

We had low shot total and when we got chances our finish was awful

 

[DuneGoon84]

Bench Wennberg for Rempe. We don't need a 4th line defensive center when we have zero offense. Rather have a physical guy.

Bring Rempe in, at least we would have him park in front of their goalie.

 

[Atax]

Would've been nice to get a replay on that entire sequence. ESPN's coverage is such garbage.

He has 2 defensemen behind him. Skates right up to like 4 Panthers and turns it over, lol. How is this dude in the lineup.

 

[Jayan]

Ah well at it again next game

 

[bleedblue94]

Not at all kidding, watching the entire game tonight scared for chytil and then he gets drilled at the end and looks wobbly again. That might be it. Guy really needs to protect his life

 

[Filip Chytil]

Game was much closer than 3-0. Florida won a Florida type of game. Entire team, Igor included, needs to be sharper.

 

[Larrybiv]

Oh great, last 2nd git in Chytil. Hope he's alright

 

[Chytilmania]

Maybe they need their back’s against the wall for a change. This time it’s conference finals and not rounds 1 and 2 where they get worn out.

 

[Father Roy Richards]

Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in the Metro anymore

 

[MysticLeviathan]

one thing’s for sure: fox is very badly hurt. no way after a 5 game layoff can he somehow look worse. I feel like this won’t improve until after the playoffs
