GDT: ECF Game #6 - Rangers in Tampa 8pm ET. Time to Get Engaged & Crash The Party in Tampa

[hockeyfanplayer]

Sounds like what Rangers fans say about Panarin.

But panarin has a far higher hockey IQ; Barzal will give you one highlight breakaway goal per game, but will cause 5-6 Grade-A chances against with idiotic turnovers/bad plays.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Rangers looked good that period

 

[DanielBrassard]

Its speed and will to win they need. Most of these guys don't wanna get buried in front of the net to score a goal.

Sure but they are also not a very good passing team, overall. It's very evident playing teams like Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay.

 

[FoxyClean]

What are the lines, I just got in?

Pick some names out of a hat and put em together.

 

[Ginger Papa]

As a guest I’m reluctant to criticize specific players & coaching staff.

However, the decision to let Ryan Strome start this Game & displace a healthier player is a real head scratcher to me.

Hopefully Ryan proves me wrong & contributes to the 1st Rangers Goal.

I’m always happy to be wrong in situations like this.

 

[Chytilmania]

Sounds like my kind of player!

He even has custom made Balenciaga skates.

 

[DuneGoon84]

Is Kakko hiding an injury or something we aren’t aware of?

"NOPE"

 

[JRinNYC]

How I feel like the Rangers are playing.

 

[TankLarkin]

If we are such a young team why are we so gassed?

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

What are the lines, I just got in?

Its the 2nd period, so prob back to what we originally know and hate

 

[Rongomania]

Can't wait to get my Vancouver or Arizona Kakko jersey shit is gonna be sick.

 

[Greg02]

How can you possible feel that we'll win tonight? We've created nothing and should be down 2-0 already.

When we were up 2-0 in game 3 and looking like the better team someone here remarked that they've seen this story a bunch of times this year-- with the Rangers on the other end. The Rangers have managed to stick around in games a ton this season and close it out in the end. I honestly can't believe we're in game 6 of the ECF in a blank game on the road and people are having conniptions after a single period. It's a joke.

 

[DialUp]

You think TBL has more speed overall than the NYR?

They objectively don't. But as a team, they are playing with drive and shift to shift momentum. Veteran shit right there.

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Pick some names out of a hat and put em together.

Who’s in and who is out? To be more specific?

 

[bobbop]

If we add Nils to him with our 2nd can that get us someone tasty ?

Perhaps.

There will be a market

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Yeah it is all Gallant and not that half his team is skating on one leg.

The never ending scapegoating here is absolutely ridiculous.

Kakko isn't hurt though, strome clearly is. Broke up the Rangers best puck possession line and now the Rangers have no possession. I can see why Cooper has cups and Gallant does not.

 

[LokiDog]

Kakko looks invisible tonight….. too soon?

I haven’t noticed a difference

The reactions are, at best, far more ridiculous than the decision itself. Next, just swear off watching the team ever again.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

it’s going to take a long time to get over this Strome decision. The guy is visibly injured. It’d be one thing to do cheetah flips to keep him in the lineup if he was tearing the playoffs up, but he’s been a worse version of his already bad self for the majority of them.

I am fine with Hunt playing. They can use his speed and forechecking capability.

I can even be convinced that sitting Kakko makes sense.

But to throw the withered husk of Ryan Strome into this fire is infuriating. Imagine what a fresh Brodzinski would look like in his place even.

Now watch him somehow score the 3OT winner tonight. Let my anger will that into existence.

Withered husk

 

[bleedblue94]

I'm keeping Miller away from Fox unless it's an in game adjustment due to penalty or injury. Miller has enough skills offensively, he should be free to release whenever he sees an opportunity. Paired with Fox, Miller's offensive instincts might be severly stunted.

100 percent agree. If you have two d men that could be 1s then you don't pair them together you develop two pairings so you can have one on the ice for 50 mins of the game. Why pair Miller with fox to be his safety net and neutralize his offensive ability?

 

[Kane One]

Pick some names out of a hat and put em together.

And after double checking and notice Kakko missing, say f*** it.

 

[CasusBelli]

Show me one positive stat outside goaltending this game. Just one.

 

[FoxyClean]

Do we find out after the game what injuries guys had or do we have to wait for breakup day?

No, you're good!

Let loose, brother.

 

[Slaydagnar]

He’s right. Lol at questioning Dave Maloney
Fox though small needed to throw a simple body check on that play. He needs to hit the gym over the Summer.
Also Chytil, Kakko need to hit the gym
You throw body checks to separate the player from the puck.
Rangers will not win a Cup playing this soft

It’s not just hitting the gym
It’s a character lack of snarl deficit we have with too many players on this roster

I think Drury is smart and there will be changes to address this.
We miss a healthy Goodrow we miss Blais.

Could you imagine if Kreider all 225 pounds of him threw a thundering check but he hasn’t.
