GDT: ECF: Game 6 - New York Rangers @ Florida Panthers, 8pm ET, ABC (Tropic Thunder Edition, Do or Die or Do!)

[Megustaelhockey]

Kakko could reinvent himself in a single season if he learns the art of playing net front. Entire careers are built on it. To bad is wasn’t last summer…

He's worn out his welcome by now. He's had every chance to succeed and frankly more chances than Lafrenière has had. Get Kakko out of here.

 

[LokiDog]

At times during the last 20 years they just never had the top talent. Now they do have some. It's just dumb hockey.

Zibanejad annoys people because he's the Rangers in a nutshell. He puts up good seasons exploiting a niche and can't play the real sport effectively at this level.

You ain’t wrong. Mika, and Bread in a different breath, encompass all that has failed over the past 20 years.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

this feels like a shutout

 

[Canucks LB]

I still feel like you guys are gonna win honestly, I don’t think the Rangers have put all of their effort in quite yet this game

 

[Megustaelhockey]

The only thing that might foil the Panthers in the final is Bobrovsky. I think he's been very average when he's been tested.

We just haven't done it.

 

[huerter]

Can’t say the refs are against us after that.

 

[KotsyJr]

I just keep telling myself if they lose, I finally have free time at night again. Trying to be positive!

 

[EdJovanovski]

Fox is playing great

 

[Crease]

That hit on Fox, SN just summed it up. It was late so he hit him just hard enough not to take a penalty. That's a skill that TB taught FL over half a decade.

Rangers play gentlemen hockey. It doesn’t work in the ECF.

 

[Profet]

Someone finish a check already...

Bob will get exposed finals. BOOK IT

 

[Shesterkybomb]

We're not a soft team but we have soft high end players outside of Trochek and Lafreniere.

 

[Saitama]

He's worn out his welcome by now. He's had every chance to succeed and frankly more chances than Lafrenière has had. Get Kakko out of here.

I was seriously hopeful for Kakko and despite being a hockey pessimist, I kept thinking it would just take a bit of time, but that time has passed and not much has changed. I'm finally good with moving on from him.

 

[B17 Apricots]

Would be nice if we got to see an Oshie blast from Panarin again... but he's above that lowly hitting stuff

 

[will1066]

The way they got 4 guys on a moving box on your puck carrier, can't break that

 

[Machinehead]

There's also nothing to solve about Florida. They're just good.

I could see that with Carolina because they're also a gimmick. Florida's just effective at everything that's proven to work.

Hockey isn't very meta diverse. There's a way to win in this league.

Every good team forechecks and tries to set up chances either low to high or side to side depending on what's there.

We do side to side and none of the rest.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

A shot just came off the clock for us...

 

[DialUp]

Laf is going to have so much pressure on him to break out even more next year. Very interested to see how that all pans out

 

[DudMan28]

Shades of game one now

 

[bleedblue94]

It's so cute watching panarin think he can fake hook people into turnoffs in the playoffs. No battle at all for the loose pucks or puck recovery.

 

[Profet]

God forbid we change up the top two lines and try to get any one of Kreider, Zib, Bread going...

 

[Captain Lindy]

Being shut out in an elimination game is such a Ranger thing to do.

 

[qwertyaas]

The only thing that might foil the Panthers in the final is Bobrovsky. I think he's been very average when he's been tested.

We just haven't done it.

Oilers forwards are not Rangers forwards.

 

[bl02]

This is some boring time wasting hockey that's for sure.

 

[17futurecap]

Feels like a 2-0 on an ENG
