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

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

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

Seems that way. Didn’t get a lot of ice time there. Thought he’s been one of our better players. Led the first breakaway. Couple needs passes that led to other chances.

 

[mrmovies779]

Weak call aside,you can't go 16 minutes between shots

Once again the weak call ruined all momentum.

 

[duhmetreE]

Cuylle Edstrom Wheeler 4th line

 

[DanielBrassard]

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

The antithesis of how they like to play, tough to make that adjustment mid playoffs. Florida isn’t going to chase and give us a chance to switch or attack East-west.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Entire team should shave their heads during intermission and take a jardiance

 

[DialUp]

Cuylle Edstrom Wheeler 4th line

As much as I cannot stand Goodrow, he is necessary on the PK and out late.

Does he really?

Yeah I think so

you're not wrong

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

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

do need to handle the forecheck better at all

 

[GG96]

They aren’t even playing 4 lines. Might as well play Rempe and rotate Chytil through the lineup

 

[Larrybiv]

OMG, they're so critical of the Rangers and we're only down one goal. Oh and by the way scoring chances are 7-7. Yeah we're playing like crap and yeah we need to step it up a little bit, but this is how the Rangers go sometimes. You watch, we'll have a great third period and win 2 or 3-1.
Just don't give up the second goal.

 

[Zynbanejad]

Part of me is feeling a shutout and the other part of me believes…

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

That's dedication !

I do what I can.

 

[Brother Mouzone]

Need the next goal , don't think this is the game to fall behind by 2 ..........

 

[mrmovies779]

All jokes aside....we are 1 good period away from winning this game.Go out there and take it,boys

 

[Ruggs225]

Was it over when the germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

We start the 3rd with like a 40 second power play.

 

[chosen]

Down 1-0 in Game 1 and lots picking their players to be banished.

I don't want Lindgren banished, well maybe I do, but he got away with 3 blatant holds. Two were on one shift.

 

[CasusBelli]

What he say?

Need more intensity. Get the fans into it. We’re being too passive. Dress Rempe.

 

[DialUp]

The thing is, Florida is playing their game, Rangers are not playing theirs. That is what they are talking about. FLA being up 1-0 and doing what seems to be just enough is HOW THEY WIN.
Rangers standard of play is different. Not saying it's better or they are better than Florida, but this is a normal winning formula for the Panthers. So yeah, Rangers should be dragged but it's not out of reach.

 

[Tob]

Was it over when the germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

It was over before that

 

[Zarao71]

I've seen about enough of Wennberg. Put Chytil at center between Cuylle and Kakko and roll a 4th line of Goodrow, Rempe and Vesey.

 

[ArPanet]

One of those starting on the road is sometimes easier games.

 

[OthmannOut]

We are winning this game.

Again, I'll quote if true

It won't be

 

[CasusBelli]

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

Suddenly I’m understanding why the Bruins had 8 SOG through two in, I think, game 4.
