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

[SnowblindNYR]

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.

They're getting absolutely shut down. If this garbage continues they're not winning more than one game by accident. This is an absolutely pathetic showing.

 

[Ail]

Everyone in the hockey world has spent 3 days talking about how great this series was going to be, what an airy fart.

 

[Tob]

Can we boot the lightning fan from gtds?

 

[Machinehead]

We'll get one more chance on the powerplay. So will they.

Need to be 2 for 2.

 

[DuneGoon84]

Lucky to be down only 1-0 . They'll tie this and force OT. Its their DNA

I know they did this game 6 against canes, but based off of what you see tonight, what's makes you think they'll ramp it up?

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

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

2 breakaways. Missed an open net on a PP.

 

[HANK30]

If that’s the best Florida has, I like our chances this series

 

[DanielBrassard]

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

 

[Machinehead]

Can we boot the lightning fan from gtds?

Absolutely not. I'll boot you.

 

[Kovalev27]

These guys are playing likes it’s a Sunday afternoon in December.

And Florida hasn’t done anything. They really haven’t. This is hardly Carolina coming in waves.

We just are bobbling pucks not making plays breaking sticks missing the net like that last Mika miss. Just nonsense. These guys know this is the Eastern Conference Final?

These guys are way better than this

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

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.

 

[DialUp]

This team is the opposite of Carolina - no pace, much more hitting, zone defense, not high shot volume and good goal tending.

Exactly. Lav needs to have them shoot more, don't get caught pinching. Volume attempts is the only way tonight.

 

[Siddi]

Team looking meh but will turn it around in the 3rd.

LGR!

 

[Riche16]

We are not losing this game.

I'll quote if true

Theyre not but I will

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

They're getting absolutely shut down. If this garbage continues they're not winning more than one game by accident. This is an absolutely pathetic showing.

The pathetic showing is the fans in this thread.

 

[Baby Punisher]

Not a good start.
It looks like a continuation of the 3 regular season games. The Rangers can't get up in the middle and through the forecheck.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Someone should start a “boring” chant.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

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

 

[Captain Lindy]

We will win this game.

I'm feeling it too.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Seems like a lot of Rangers are feeling the pressure. Lots of tight grips and over thinking right now.

Really need a goal just to release the pressure. Too bad, this game should be 0-0. Muffin softie by Igor is the difference. The Rangers have had more dangerous chances it feels like.

 

[Tob]

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

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

They're getting absolutely shut down. If this garbage continues they're not winning more than one game by accident. This is an absolutely pathetic showing.

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.

 

[bouds]

They’ve missed the net a bunch tonight. It’s just a boring game. Not a lot of flow.

 

[hardnosed]

Can someone punch pk in the vageen?

Yea. Don't know what game he's watching. We have sucked. If Florida was doing anything, this game would be over. You can make the case that they have let us hang around

 

[DuneGoon84]

I don't think Florida has this crazy relentless pressure like canes we just suck. Whenever I see this team make crappy passes 1st period, I knew we would suck. Same story
