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

[DudMan28]

Igor gotta make a tough save at some point

 

[LOFIN]

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

But hey, according to some people, they might be able to score now!

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Rangers outplayed Florida.

Rangers 0-2 on PP. Florida 1-1. Losing at our own game lol

 

[Brutananadilewski]

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.

Problem is Carolina got some shots on goal. We either miss, whiff, or pass it.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Again - one goal against makes so many of you want to drive off a cliff. Not healthy.

I know, I know. "Don't tell us how to be fans!"

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I thought Fox looked good.

He did, but he’s also a hit away from turning into dust

 

[bl02]

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.

Cuylle has been and probably the only one so far. Florida has like 7 or 8 guys that do it.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

We still got this. That was a terrible call

I don’t know what game you’re watching. after our initial adrenaline rush after being shut out we looked completely dominated. especially if the ice continues to be dogshit, we’re in a lot of trouble. our game relies on quick transition and we can’t do that if we can’t properly pass and receive the puck

 

[EEL]

Anybody noticing how we’re backing off the blue line again? It’s like Girardi all over again.
Mika needs a hug pls

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

Igor gotta make a tough save at some point

Lmao

 

[Siddi]

Wennberg is useless. f***ing useless.

 

[MrEctions]

Panarin is absolute dog shit this series. Playing scared and soft. Not engaged. Not skating. He’s back to what he was in the previous playoffs. Just not a winner or willing to get into the weeds and work.

 

[CasusBelli]

Problem is Carolina got some shots on goal. We either miss, whiff, or pass it.

They were also more threatening and fast. You’re right.

 

[17futurecap]

When can Lavy go to six forwards?

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

But hey, according to some people, they might be able to score now!

Defense doesn’t exist when you have a Kakko hate chub

 

[Boris Zubov]

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

Bread had a good first 10 minutes.....Mika was absolutely brutal in that period. He killed both PPs.

 

[Metranger]

Yup, like the Dallas, Oilers game. The typing goal is a great example. Guys in front of the net and getting pucks on the goalie. Rebounds = open net = goal.

They are passing too damn much! Zibanejad had a shot right in the middle and he passes it the outside. It's making me pissed. Shoot the damn puck when you have a shot! Stop with the cutesy passes.

Otherwise, Carolina was WAY more scary than Florida. The Rangers should win this. They need to shoot when they have the shot.

 

[Machinehead]

Rangers 1 shot for, 11 against with Wennberg on the ice.

Would one billion percent rather just chance Chytil at center.

Literally, how could it be worse?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Igor gotta make a tough save at some point

It's never his fault. I know there was a screen but the puck went right through him. Just never good enough. He has f***ing sucked so far this series.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

But hey, according to some people, they might be able to score now!

Cuylle and Wennberg are no longer being held back by that dastardly Finn!

 

[aufheben]

Bottom-six outshot 15-2 that period.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

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

ice is shit. jones would fold under florida’s physicality.

I pray the ice in florida is actually better

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

Mika is a huge liability on the power play at this point and it’s more apparent with Fox’s lack of mobility since he can’t corral all of the poor passes Mika handcuffs him with at the point. Power play in 2024 is all about interchangeable players on the perimeter and moving in and out of different structures. Zib literally cannot do anything other than launch pucks from a stand still and thats not enough

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Panarin passed up a couple shots on the pp, he's best when he's shooting.

 

[Svenhart2008]

Florida is getting away with a ton of interference. One in particular as laf was forechecking. If this how it is, we’re f***ed as is. I guess we need another cup in Florida.
