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

[Riche16]

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.

No. No they haven't.

Youve watched too many ROCKY movies

This isn't rope a dope or "I can change, you can change, so everyone can change"

Cheesy shit

This is big boy hockey & giving up 1 goal could end your season, let alone a game.

 

[Breaded Fox]

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

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

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.

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

 

[bouds]

Hitting the net and not having sticks break will help

Yeah, that would definitely help, lol. I’m not seeing this dominate performance from the other squad, they haven’t given up volume but we certainly had some opps that didn’t go in. Maybe we get a break .

 

[bleedblue94]

They just back up forever when all Florida wants is to get it below the goalline.... you can pressure high on them, they're not trying to make plays.

Deny the f***ing blueline and deny them access to space south of the hash marks and then make it a priority to get it north of the hash marks once the cats get it there.

Messier ripping the team is great. Calling it what it is

 

[Kocur26]

This is Shambolic

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

Yeah it’s a tight game so fkkn yay. But this team is allergic to, and from, the word forecheck. Prof Maurice is going to eat up Dino Lav in this series.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

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

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Teams feeling each other out still. Let the training wheels off in the 3rd and let’s see who has the magic. I believe in this team.

 

[mrmovies779]

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.

Gooooooooosefrabaaaaaaaaaa,Gooooooooooosefraaaaaabaaaaa,Goooooooooooooosefraaaaaabaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[Machinehead]

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

This is gonna fix it.

 

[Reijo29]

Messier “they’ve been severely outplayed,” for the people pretending Bob is outplaying Igor tonight

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

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

seems like either they have the yips or the ice is making everyone look bad.

 

[Kocur26]

Don’t dress Vesey again .

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

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

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.

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

Don’t dress Vesey again .

My jersey agrees

 

[zlev]

espn announcers wont stop talking about the shot count but we've definitely had the better chances. two missed breakaways and their goal was dogshit.

 

[17futurecap]

Still there for the taking though, Florida didn’t put this shit away leaving the door open.

Win 2-1 to get everyone even more upset on the main boards that we are so lucky.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

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

 

[Svenhart2008]

I'm feeling it too.

That’s indigestion.

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

Already checking the Ronkonkoma departure times…

 

[duhmetreE]

Play as a unit.

They go through stretches where there’s no puck support

 

[AirGut]

Florida is getting too comfortable with themselves we need to start getting nasty as f*** if we hope to get that 1 goal,
that 1 goal can change everything right now

 

[Metranger]

Rangers have been sandbagging Florida. This is an easily winnable game. Rangers just need to play it.
And hit the net for Pete's sake. Stop this wide crap.

 

[CasusBelli]

Mess is spot on
