Will be there with my son with my lucky shirt and jersey on, and I promise I won’t have my voice tomorrow after I scream my guts out in support! LGR!!!

Time to put a stranglehold on the series. Panarin, Mika, Kreider. It's time to do something. I hope Rempe or Trouba smashes someone into smithereens this game, just so the apparently defenseless Panthers have something real to cry about.

I honestly have a meh feeling.
I’m usually decent with it. Hopefully I’m wrong and we head back to MSG up 3-1

Wonder how tonight's game will go ... they are likely exhausted. Last game was exhilarating & strange. FLA had the puck most of the time but when they didn't they allowed good chances for our guys. I guess the key is bury your chances on offense & on defense don't let them walk out in front unmarked.

We need our top guys to be better than theirs for the first time this series to get a win tonight, imo.

I'm going to miss at least the start of the game tonight. My kid has her fifth grade recognition ceremony tonight. It was supposed to be last Tuesday but got PPD due to a severe storm that blew through the area knocking power out for nearly a week.
I think Brodzinski draws back in. Rempe is out.
And dammit would one of Panarin, Mika, and Kreider score tonight? Especially the first two guys.

PP going completely dry, 0-8.
How about we put one of the hottest players on the ice....Laf, on that top unit? Or would that make too much sense?
Take your pick who can take a seat from the no shows this series, maybe it will wake them up? Mika? Panarin? Kreider?
I'd take off Panarin truthfully.

Wonder if 96-91-24 will be a thing this game. Not sure Chytil worked with 20-93. Zibs seems wrung out. Hopefully they got rest. Will Bread shoot the puck when the opportunity is there? He seems caught up in his head.
It's just math.
Put Laf in Mika's spot..also consider moving Filip..Rempe needs to flatten Matthew

He should be in the slot just like Reinhart.
They don’t even have to be better than them…, just be better than invisible and dog

Interesting note from the NY Post paywall newsletter:
How to evaluate a scoreless draw
Zibanejad made a fair point in response to questions about his line’s struggles on offense, noting he, Kreider and Filip Chytil have played Aleksander Barkov’s line to a 0-0 draw during their shared minutes in the series.
The Panthers have generated the majority of chances in those crucial minutes: The Rangers account for just 35.71 percent of expected goals over 23:06 when Zibanejad and Barkov have shared the ice at five-on-five.
But there’s something to be said for the fact that the scoresheet itself has been even, though the Rangers of course want better than that.
“It’s a fine balance,” Zibanejad said. “Beause it’s good to be responsible defensively. When you don’t score, it’s not a good thing offensively. You’re playing against a guy that can do both and a line can do both. So I think at the end of the day, as long as you get the wins, it’s obviously on an individual standpoint, you want to do whatever you can to play your best game, to contribute. But some games, at times, you just have to be able to value and more see what the scenarios in the game or the shifts within the game, how they are.
“We know their line, and obviously Barkov won the Selke [Trophy], too. So that part of his game obviously makes it harder for us, but at the same time, he’s been scoring at a pretty high rate, too. For us, we’re not trying to go out there and play 0-0, but at the same time, if we don’t get the offense that we want and expect, then we have to make sure that we have a defensive responsibility to be accountable to as well.
“Because of that, the suggestion [that] we just try to go more on the offensive track and shoot for offense, I don’t know if that’s gonna be the best for us.”

Im hoping they learn from the past and really give their all today to make this a 3-1 series.
Huge opportunity to take it back to the Garden with a chance to close it out. HUGE.
LGR!!!

Is this a foretelling of the 2030 draft lottery, where the penguins have moved to Quebec and are being handed the next generational talent?

Previous four conference final appearances in the post-lockout era. Remarkable how many times we went to 7 games in the first 2 rounds.

Yes, and then they proceed to surround him with nothing but plugs and we knock them out of the playoffs. History repeats itself.

I predict Trouba will bump into Reinhart and he will fake an injury. I've been right 3 games in a row!

Yeah we're gonna need a goal from Kreider, Panarin, or Mika here...we are fortunate to be up 2-1 without those three on the scoresheet
But its time, come on boys....

Hoping the refs make some calls, our PP starts clicking again and we blow the doors off them. Most likely though were in for a 2-1 slug fest. Either way just win. Lets go back to MSG with a chance to end it!
