GDT: ECF: Game 4 - New York Rangers @ Florida Panthers, 8pm ET, ESPN

[ReddestRum]

I love how the D is catching all of our shit, but the upper echelon of our cap is nowhere to be found this whole series.

 

[HANK30]

Miller is the most brain dead player on the team. Like. Just awful. At least Trouba hits people and blocks shots. Maybe injures a player or 2. Miller is just bad at everything.

Miller has cost us at least 3 goals in the last 2 games.

 

[Siddi]

Refs changed the momentum in that period. NHL is a corrupted bush league.

 

[bumrusherer]

Why am I more comfortable losing going into the 3rd than with a lead?

Because there is less to fear

 

[TriFF51]

Alright, now let's actually try in the 3rd. This is still winnable. They got 2 fortunate goals even tho they had a ton of chances. Play like NOT idiots.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

We're an offense heavy team with a good goalie, we wait for our chances and score, at times we're lucky the puck doesn't go in our net but the fact we outscore our opponents regularly isn't luck.

So we're opportunistic and we rely on our goalie to stand on his head until we decide to give a shit in the third period/overtime and pounce.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Our best players are being outplayed by theirs. That needs to change pronto. Laf looks so much more dangerous than our veterans.

 

[Atax]

Why am I more comfortable losing going into the 3rd than with a lead?

I'm not sure I can name anything positive about that period.

 

[Alluckks]

Down 1 in a game where everyone expected Florida to bring it and the refs to massively tilt the ice is fine.

Come out different, grab the tying goal, then finish it.

 

[effen]

They should be furious Florida is storming down the slot endlessly. Offended.

They're not mad enough. Kreider's had a lot of lazy circles. Mika at least took a hit to get the puck out twice.

 

[savebyrichter94]

Ok powers back and Rangers are in position to do what they’ve done all year so let’s do this boys and bring this one home! Shesty kept us in it now it’s time to strike like me know how!

 

[rangers1314]

I get how good Barkov is, I do. But can Mika win ONE shift against him? Just one

 

[chosen]

I long for a day when after the Rangers get scored on I don't see Trouba on the ice.

 

[InfernoDaLuz]

couldn't watch this period. the f*** happened

Yes.

 

[duhmetreE]

Because there is less to fear

I believe more in our comeback ability than holding a lead

 

[DumpnChase12]

This f'ing team is bipolar

 

[Bob Richards]

These things have ebbs and flows and its going to happen

but i do notice that our good periods are just that. Good.

Our bad periods are dreadful lol.

 

[Go Rangers]

Panthers back to committing no penalties at all, including Tkachuk skating through the crease and tripping Igor as time expires

It’s so bad how the nhl hates the rangers

 

[Harbour Dog]

Panarin just isn't geared for these type of games. We have to try to win without him taking over any shifts, and hope that we get a more favorable matchup for him in the finals.

Laf IS geared for this, and it's beautiful to see.

 

[DuneGoon84]

This team ain't it. I'm sorry but the defense on this team looks like they don't belong on the same ice as the Panthers. It's like watching kittens get slaughtered. Our best is 9 shot attempts more than them. Theirs is pure domination. I legit think that this is how the Sharks would look against the Panthers. It's just not good enough.

We do belong, but I agree this defense is trash. They will get a million wrap arounds. These guys don't know how to play defense

 

[iamitter]

Kreider has earned some leash with what he pulled in g6 in the last series.

But come on dude, it's f***ing time.

Panarin and Zibanejad can f*** right off though.

Not a series-long leash, though.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Lavi needs to do something. Mix up D pairings. Move Laf up. Play the 4th line more. Can’t watch the 1st line get pushed in over and over again

 

[Machinehead]

I love how the D is catching all of our shit, but the upper echelon of our cap is nowhere to be found this whole series.

The upper echelon were getting chance after chance when the D were managing the puck at a basic NHL level.

 

[Zynbanejad]

Remember everybody, hockey is a game of mistakes

 

[Atax]

These things have ebbs and flows and its going to happen

but i do notice that our good periods are just that. Good.

Our bad periods are dreadful lol.

Just absolutely brutal man. Just mind numbing turnovers and poor decisions.
