Pet peeve, making fun of people who yell shoot. They are mostly correct.
Like don't shoot if you're the only guy back and it may be blocked, or on an odd break when the pass is there, yet pretty much every other time, Shoot the puck hope for a goal, rebound or block where someone need to sell out.
Causing chaos is a good thing in their zone.

It looked harmless. Routine hit, didn’t notice until he was absent from the bench. But Chytil‘s made of glass.

Injuries happen. But is it me or do Ranger playoff injuries historically happen REALLY early in a game?

He got the side of his face/head smushed/smashed against the glass when Hedman took him in hard from the side/behind
Probably a concussion/precautionary concussion measures. Could also be a shoulder/collarbone thing but much less likely it is that the way I saw/see it.

Eh - I guess so. Chytil kinda turned playing the puck. Wasnt a full on boarding thing. Hedman is a big dude and just cleaned him out. Its the playoffs. Maybe it couldve been called but nothing dirty. This is from memory though. Would like to see it again

Wow its a nice GM
I went back and watched, thanks
It was, Chytil went into the corner staring at his feet and Hedman hits high due to his size.

This team isn't really doomed until they lose 4 games in a series if recent history is any indication
I swear to God if he plays I’m not watching the game.

No.
Came back against Pens, Crosby was being great and Trouba legally took him out.
Canes, Rangers can play D and still score against a faster team.
I don't think this is over, they need to play a tougher game though, like not Reeves tougher, like win puck battles, have a gritty attitude toward both offense and defense, play like this might be their best chance...
Yet Tampa is no slouch here, they make it difficult, they are a good team, which is what the playoffs are about.
Tampa as much as I dislike them, they slash, crosscheck do all sorts of stuff, not within the actual rules, within the refs rules, Rangers need to learn from that.
And shoot the puck, not going to beat Vasi clean most likely, need to create stuff after the initial shot.

My only guess is concussion.
Strome skated during the pre game skate. So guessing he was kinda close. I think he plays in Game 5.
Chytil- no clue. Really hoping we have both guys.

Maybe someone else does. Does everyone need to let you proofread their comments before they post them to make sure they're interesting to you? Get over yourself..

Maybe you need to go back and read why he wrote that to get context of the comment and my reply rather than pop in and be snarky for no reason without understanding the context. Move on and have a nice night.

If 1 of Chytil or Strome come back, no.
If they are both out for a few games then, IMO, yes.
This team had problems producing offense at 5v5 and now you've taken away two of its top three centers. Now you have guys like Motte or Rooney or Hunt playing and playing more minutes than they should.
This team without Chytil and Strome is going to look a lot like it did for most of the season before the trade deadline acquisitions.

As a huge Kakko fan, it is frustrating watching him do basically this.
He is extremely good at doing all the things that get him about 95% of the way there but once he's at the the actual scoring chance/scoring attempt moment, that's usually when it all falls apart.
