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

[SnowblindNYR]

There have been several games in my lifetime, seven as a matter of fact (I counted), where the Rangers faced elimination and I was absolutely convinced they were going home that day.

They're 0-7 in such games.

I figure they'll surprise me one of these years.

Do you have a journal of these games? How do you know there were exactly 7?

You thought they were going to win this game?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

So I looked at the numbers and outside of Edmonton the remaining three teams have scored with 0.03 goals per game 5 on 5 (we're last though). Take it for what it's worthy as the ice has been slanted severely for large portions of this series but this bumbling idiot Rangers narrative at 5 on 5 has not really come to fruition on the scoreboard.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

Fellas. We have em right where we want em.

No way this teams losing 3 straight. I'm more worried about game 7 and the horrific ice that only helps the Panthers with the way they play

LOL. This belongs on a hockey demotivational poster.

June hockey, try and enjoy it as best as you can. Try and remember we got to game 16 of the playoffs before facing an elimination game. Try and remember how long the wait is until the next season.

LGR! Bring this back to MSG Monday night!

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Let's keep this shit going for a game 7 for the spirit of 94 baby. I believe NYR and DAL are winning both series

before I catch any infractions tonight I just want to say it's been an absolute pleasure positing with you gentlemen and women. I don't discriminate whatever you guys are we're a family. let's push this to 7 and win it at home.

 

[Row I Goon]

Sunday 10am.

We got this.

 

[tomobson]

Must win.

 

[Unpredictable1]

Cmon boys, please. Do this. Force the game 7.

 

[TheWrongWay]

Looking forward to the next game and I'm fully confident the Rangers will win the next two.

Joking. They absolutely can still win the series. But if they don't, there's no shame in it.

They had a great season and all 4 remaining teams are a handful. While reaching the final 4 is not the goal, it is a significant achievement.

I will appreciate this season regardless of how this series turns out.

 

[Tob]

If I had a bonus bet of $1000, I would bet more of it on the Rangers getting shutout than the Rangers winning.

 

[Nickmo82]

First true must win game of the year. Let's see some commitment and heart.

We need a Rempe guarantee.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Randomly up and pumped at 4am. Maybe this is destiny and this is spot we’re supposed to be in. Maybe later tonight will be a game we remember forever because it sent us on our way to winning the whole thing. Sports are crazy, hockey is even crazier. As the videos says, the results don’t always add up and since we’re not eliminated yet, we still have as good a chance as anyone as far as I’m concerned.

 

[Tob]

Praying before I go to bed, for a few toskalas in our favor, a few fatso own goals, maybe a mile Smith puck in pants and back into the net goals. Who knows.

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

Can’t win 16 until you win 11 first.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

This game would be nice to win but I’m confident if they lose, we’ll take game 7 & game 8

 

[Machinehead]

You thought they were going to win this game?

I knew they were going to win that game. Complete opposite direction.

 

[Machinehead]

Do you have a journal of these games? How do you know there were exactly 7?

I remember everything

2007 - Buffalo, G6
2009 - Washington, G7
2011 - Washington, G5
2012 - Jersey, G6
2013 - Boston, G5
2016 - Pittsburgh, G5
2022 - Tampa, G6

The last two on this list, I didn't even watch

 

[GlasgowNewYorkRanger]

There are a lot of excuses made for this core group. The next two games would be the perfect time to prove a lot of people wrong and dismiss opinions many have held about them since they became the 'core'.

 

[Machinehead]

People say this is like the LA series. We had some looks against LA. Carolina was like the LA series. We scored overtime goals. If we scored overtime goals against LA, we win.

This is like Pittsburgh in 2016, in that, we're getting our asses kicked.

 

[Ail]

I didn't die in my sleep last night so I guess I have to watch this now. LGR!

2009 game 7. Sergei Federov's last goal in the NHL, and it was a snipe. Redden screen.

One thing is for sure, if they lose tonight the "core" needs to go.

I just hope the Deserve-to-win-o-meter favors us.
