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

[SeanMoneyHands]

Forsling is probably the most underrated top pairing dman in the NHL. And he’s well worth his contract.

 

[PromisedLand]

I just wanna know how in the blue hell did Bob all of a sudden find his mojo since last year. Dude was sucking so bad and now he is one of the TOP tenders

Goalies are freakin' voodoo man

 

[DerekDevils30]

Easy come easy go, huh?

Good song. Great album.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Pretty much what anyone who didn’t have their heads up the rags ass expected game one. The metro is easy mode.

Please Rangers, win this.


- the west

One of the nice things about this series is that I could post this gif no matter who loses, lol.

That hit at the end is .... where's Rempe? I don't want to see Rempe hurt so I suggest he fight Walter.

 

[Firsov99]

I think Florida wins it all this year. Bob is clearly the best goalie remaining of the 4 teams. When he’s on, the other 3 can’t match him.

I hope so. At least they’ll have a better chance than last year when they were totally outclassed by Vegas.

 

[TheNumber4]

They did actually, initially anyway. Incredibly incompetent management drove them away. That's not their fault and they shouldn't be penalized for it.

The better they do, the more it highlights the failures of the previous regime and the less likely it is the new regime make the same mistake.

How did Flames management drive Chucky away? You guys just came off a monster season.

 

[Bruce Granville]

We're being compared to the trapping devils despite playing opposite, so I'll take it.

I thought the Cats copied the Rags’ game from the Canes’ series quite well.
Not easy to play against and if you get goaltending on top….easy W.

Ask the Canes why they are already golfing…

 

[JaegerDice]

That game went about how I expected.

 

[Idiot Stick]

Not even boston got shut out lmao

 

[Ignatius]

Wtf is that ref doing?

Gift wrapping powerplays for the Rangers?

 

[Tofveve]

Panthers should change name to Pythons cuz they squeezed the life out of Rangers

Forecheck is relentless

And the Rangers to the Pylons because they were like "Oh no don't" but were compliant victims

 

[eviohh26]

Like I said this playoffs. NYR had an easy road so far. The easiest of the teams left in the final 4. Panthers are the 1st real test . NY needs to come back game 2 with their A game or this will be a quick series. Caps and Canes didn't push the Rangers hard enough this post season .

Team defense is important. The Panthers did not play much defense under Quenneville and Brunette.

I should have bought the macbook

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

the only thing thats missing is the Trouba cheap hit and we have a serie

 

[Cats711]

What are Florida fans' opinion of Lomberg? The kid was an absolute tank last year in the playoffs too. Love the way the kid plays but definitely seems like a different animal when playing during the reg season from the 10 or so games I've seen of him over the past year.

I want him on my team though. Guy's an engine in the ploffs.

We love him. Plays every single second on the ice like its going to be his last. Leaves everything on the ice. Gets the team going, great character.

 

[Sentinel]

That was a fairly lopsided game. Never really felt like the cats were in trouble other than a few flurries by the rangers.

Rangers did get a few breakaways.

 

[ProjectPanthers]

Forsling is probably the most underrated top pairing dman in the NHL. And he’s well worth his contract.

If the Norris reflected actual defensive contributions I think he'd be at least nominated.

 

[Neil Racki]

that hit at the end was the cherry on top for Florida

 

[Cashville]

Florida is too good. Oilers will have their hands with them in the Finals.

I would not overlook the Stars. They're Vegas favorites and they play a tough game.

 

[ShootIt]

Not even boston got shut out lmao

Rangers did score a goal though.
