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

[SeanMoneyHands]

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

And this Florida team seems a lot healthier this playoffs than last year. Florida was already decimated by injuries before Game 1 vs Vegas started last year.

The kitty turned out to be Bob, the Cat.

 

[Idiot Stick]

Rangers did score a goal though.

Brutal LOL

 

[CaptainUgly]

Shesterkin kinda feels like only reason why this is 1-0 for Panthers. Could be even bigger difference with lesser goalie.

Common theme for the Rangers this post season.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Rags don't have to make it too easy for us. Thanks Laffy but we don't need your help.

 

[FMichael]

Wow FLA Man walked in to NY Joe’s apartment, ate his hero sandwich, screwed his girl, and wiped his azz on the curtains on the way out.

 

[Alex1234]

I'd still bet my left testicle the Rags win this series in 6

WhY left?

 

[Firsov99]

Not even boston got shut out lmao

If the Cats win the Cup in this fashion, the Bs can totally claim silver medals.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

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.

At our best we're a physical team that forechecks heavy. It leads to odd-man rushes, but when teams try to match the physical game, we're even better.

 

[dhfa]

Rangers did get a few breakaways.

yeah they had some chances but overall the panthers seemed like they had it all under control for the most part. I guess losing 3-0 with a goal called back isn't important as long as you had one extra breakaway

 

[Tofveve]

Bobrovsky was awesome. Full marks for him that's for sure.

 

[ProjectPanthers]

Rangers had a ton of chances. Bob won't be a brick wall every night.

Game was tight but the Rangers allowed the Panthers to play their game a little too much. They really did their homework on Florida defensively but had trouble cracking them for sustained pressure.

One of Florida's biggest strengths is getting the puck out of their own zone and the Rangers had no answers for it tonight.

 

[Ignatius]

Ranger fans having prom flashbacks. Paid all that money for a ticket and didn't even score.

Cats got the prom queen tonight.

 

[TriFF51]

Crap showing, gotta generate way more than that. Definitely not declaring the series over though like some clowns here. Couple of breakaways, couple of posts, and Bob made a few phenomenal saves. Even with the low shot total. I would think the Rangers come back with more energy. They better.

Florida was extremely solid.

 

[SI90]

Lafreniere is the only Rangers goal scorer.

 

[biturbo19]

I don't know which team this is cheering for. But i like it.


Heck yeah cats.

 

[Bruce Granville]

At our best we're a physical team that forechecks heavy. It leads to odd-man rushed, but when teams try to match the physical game, we're even better.

I thought it was smart to keep Rempe out, but we will see if the Rags hit the panic button.

 

[Fern111]

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.

I'm not even joking when I say he's my favorite player on the team. He can always be counted on to make a big hit or have one big shift that can just turn the entire momentum around. From a guy playing on the fourth line, it's impossible to ask for anything more. He's also been responsible for some extremely clutch goals. I want him on this team forever and ever

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Bob wants that ring , bro is on a mission

 

[Cats711]

WhY left?

His lucky testicle

 

[Ezekial]

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

Just wish it was on anyone but Chytil don't need that kid ruining his life at the end of a 3-0 game

 

[Oak]

It;s hilarious that some Rangers homers were recently trying to tell me that Fox is a top 2 D in the league. He has been invisible on the score sheet these playoffs and his defensive zone which has never been that good to begin with is actually less than good.

 

[Banjo Cat]

The classic one was so good and I love the sunburst too I just don't get this one lol

I prefer the new one. Different strokes.

 

[Firsov99]

And this Florida team seems a lot healthier this playoffs than last year. Florida was already decimated by injuries before Game 1 vs Vegas started last year.

And hopefully they’ll stay healthy. I still think that Dallas is the team to beat. Honestly, it feels like the conference finals are completely redundant this year.

The plastic one?
