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

[Machinehead]

An Edmonton/Florida finals would do wonders for ratings

Edmonton's actually a pretty decent draw.

it’s time for 20-16-13, if there’s a goal to be found, it’s with one of them

 

[Machinehead]

The time has come. Keep an eye on the rafters in the 3rd, the test run has already been done

Not a good time, Ed.

 

[Gardner McKay]

I just tried for the ultimate reverse jinx. But sports betting isn't allowed in my state. Tried to put $500 on the panthers

 

[Clark Kellogg]

This is a team built to win in the regular season vs a team built to win in the playoffs. Simple as that.

We won ten games in the playoffs

 

[rangers1314]

Also, I DARE them to get shutout in an elimination game

 

[Jack Hanson]

Only once have I seen a NY team that truly had swagger. The Yankees in 1977. I remember as a 12 year old watching Reggie hit 3 homers in the world series and the crowd running out onto the field at the end of the game. Since then been hooked on NY sports teams.

Make Panarin take a taxi to the airport with his bags

 

[MysticLeviathan]

I was a huge Panarin fan, but he isn't cut for the playoffs tight checking game. GTFO.

he wasn’t going to magically become better after last season. he is who he is. he’s an 82 game player who wilts under the heaviness of the playoffs.

 

[Crease]

If the Panthers blow the doors down against the West can we say the Rangers were the second best team this season?

 

[RangersFan1994]

Highly doubtful. More likely they’re all playing hurt. Kreider looks like he can’t move, Mika can’t handle a puck. Fox can’t move. Trouba just sucks.

Maybe the Rangers conditioning needs to improve. Can't wait for them to be tired in the 3rd period with only 4 shots on net incoming

An Edmonton/Florida finals would do wonders for ratings

This is the thing that no one on the main boards wants to hear but is an irrefutable fact: the league does better when the Rangers do better. The Rangers are the only team left in this that pulls in eyeballs. The league knows that.

The ratings will plunge if we are eliminated.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Double shift Laf. Play Laf on the first line.

I don’t think there was a one of us that expected the third period of game 6 against Carolina. But it happened.

So let’s win this, take game 7 and then ruin another British Columbia team.

Man, that GDT was very similar to this. They actually looked much worse in periods 1 and 2. Difference being, they aren't on the verge of being eliminated.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Not a good time, Ed.

He deserves a troll stomp for that shit.

 

[Machinehead]

We won ten games in the playoffs

Yes. But they need to get over another hill and I don't think they do without changing.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

As much as I'm disgusted by this team Steve Levy is legit borderline unprofessional with his analysis.

[Jim Ramsay]

However it happens, if the Rangers get shutout twice in a series, its All on the big guns.

Lindgren being the shot leader halfway through the game , Trouba playing brain dead all playoffs, and Mika not scoring in 10 games now are all problems

How are we gonna win that way

 

[lakeshirts37]

Stars and or oilers really have the firepower to get them good.

Im fully on oilers bandwagon when rangers get eliminated

 

[Ail]

Seriously if they get shutout in an elimination game again what does Drury do?

Find a way to extend Trouba until he is 40.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

being bigger, faster, stronger etc. isn’t our biggest issue. it’s we don’t know how to handle the puck under pressure, and it all starts with our defensemen

SN were ripping into Panarin. You can also lob the same critique towards Zibs.

Players who don't want to play a full 200 ft, scared of contact, making stupid passes and giving the puck away.

Alternatively, you aren't growing a NY market much further.

Dallas vs Florida could do wonders growing hockey in non hockey markets.
