GDT: ECF: Game 2 - New York Rangers vs Florida Panthers, 8pm ET, ESPN

[HatTrick Swayze]

Putting the 4th line and Trouba on the ice at the same time should NEVER happen.

Trouba has a 50/50 shot of icing the puck every time he touches it in the defensive zone. Just asking for trouble.

 

[LOFIN]

Wennberg is the worst player in Rangers history.

You’ll scratch Kakko but not this useless sack of shit

I would expect Lavi to continue making changes if this is the way it continues, win or not.

 

[Fitzy]

I don't know why Fox makes so many risky plays at the blue line when he's currently got zero closing speed or defensive ballast.

 

[Bob Richards]

PP really needed to put us up 2-0 at the beginning. Huge whiff there.

Didn’t care much for that Florida penalty but the 4th line getting absolutely buried and playing gongshow hockey in their own zone will do that.

 

[Atax]

Crappy PP and a bs call on Goodrow. Otherwise decent period.
I literally will take Vesey playing center over this bum Wennberg. He needs to be benched.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Good period, tough goal on a bad penalty.

 

[CasusBelli]

Good to see the Rangers can't even play 20 minutes. Good first 10 minutes. Pathetic letdown last 10 minutes. Where is the leadership here? This is a big issue.

In all fairness, they’re doing to us what we did to Carolina: lure them in and then sling back once the other team has finished its strong start. Then tighten the screws.

 

[bouds]

Panarin had a good period dishing but I feel like he passed up a couple of shots. Let rip big guy.

Rempe and Trouba were butchers right before the PP was drawn. I know they want grit but those two on the ice in their own end is torture.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

We still got this. That was a terrible call

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

The 3rd line got f***ing caved in that period.

turns out Kakko might not be that good, but neither are the rest of them that make up that line lmao

 

[DanielBrassard]

It's really hard to go east west in the offensive zone. Laf making that hit in the slot opened up the room for Fox to royal road to Tro but otherwise the shipping routes are closed

Yeah it’s not looking too good. Rangers don’t really know how to score any other way lol.

 

[Sayba]

It should have been a 5 minute major . Our breakout needs to get better because otherwise Florida will cycle all day.

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

So painful watching Panarin fk up every single time he touches the puck. Just fkkn atrocious.

 

[will1066]

Panarin will get swallowed up if he doesn't start skating with and without the puck

 

[Flan the incredible]

Eh period wasn't that bad. Rangers need to go to the net more though. Way too many shots with no one in front. Too many rushes were guys are pulling up. Rangers need to cause chaos and get some garbage goals.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

It's 1-1, feels like we're down 4-0.

How? We controlled most of that period. Why are people acting like the Panthers are God's gift to hockey?

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Good first 10. Pp let us down. Then our physical players let us down. You let Kulikov and Lomberg Bully 2 of our centers and no answer. Didn't even take a number.

If they dressed Rempe and they are still going to play soft as shit? We're cooked.

Trouba Rempe Cuylle and Kreider should be taking runs.

 

[bl02]

We're doing that bullshit again that we did in game one and against Carolina where we just stopped playing and we allow ourselves to get pinned. The ice has been tilted again.


Our power-play looks atrocious. That’s how bread and butter. They are throwing tacks on the ice and causing us to trip up.

Look no further than #93 when anyone even comes near him he gets scared shitless turning the puck over.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

The 3rd line got f***ing caved in that period.

Master stroke from Lav.

Has anyone seen Chytil ?

 

[DuneGoon84]

zero reason to play wennberg right now.

I also think jones would be killed by florida. his agility will be quickly neutralized.

Nah, he can actually pass and can skate well. Teams that skate well can neutralize their hard hitting game.

 

[Daves a mess]

f*** this stupid franchise why does Florida need two f***ing teams

Glad NY only has one

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I thought Fox looked good.

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

Panarin will get swallowed up if he doesn't start skating

He’s already been canceled out by the Panthers - he looks like he’s three feet tall.

 

[Do you want ants]

Can’t win 4-1 without giving up a goal

 

[CasusBelli]

It's 1-1, feels like we're down 4-0.

Give it time. Well … 4-1.
