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

[Filip Chytil]

It blows my mind that this feels like a game from like 2011 where Hank is just peppered with shots and somehow the game is still in reach.

Despite having way more talent now than those Hank years. It's so odd.

We might also just be exhausted.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Yep. They are playing like they know they don't belong. It's in their heads. They look intimidated.

1000% We've been bullied like grade schoolers...we're playing afraid.

 

[nevesis]

I don't care if Shesterkin let in a goal from the other end of the ice like Mike Smith.

If the Rangers can't score a goal 5v5, it absolutely doesn't matter if he let up 1 or 10.

He has played out of his mind.

1 goal shouldn't be a death sentence.

Once the PP disappeared, they haven't been able to do anything.

Quoted for truth.

Strome missing the net in Game 5 will live on like Olli missing the shootout in 2010

You could tell by Jokinen's body language that his give a shit level was pretty much zero. Strome at least tries to score.

 

[LoveGoons]

Shesty showed up in spades in these playoffs!! When he asked panarin for some dough panarin should given him a blank check..

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Play the fresh legs this period

as am I. They hit a wall. Nothing to be ashamed of. First year in the playoffs since 2017. This is only the beginning. Hopefully they learned some lessons.

The result of making the conference finals is nothing to be ashamed of.

Benching Kakko is horrifying.

 

[duhmetreE]

The total collapse of this team after game 2 of the series is utterly fascinating

Outcoached.

Tampa adjusted. We have no clue what we're doing.

How talented was TB in the first two games?

Got it, so they were vibrant and full of life games 1 and 2, then suddenly got very tired.

This is really such a meme. It's all on coaching and talent. I'm very mad about scratching Kakko, but at a certain point we might just have to admit that TB is more talented.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Rangers just don't have the horses. Zibanejad has been killed at 5v5 the entire postseason, Panarin is either hurt or on the decline, Kreider is not the factor he once was at 5v5. copp and Fox are slow to begin with but now they are barely able to move. Strome is a f***ing idiot. Trouba is slow upstairs and downstairs and has trouble with forechecks that press hard. Lindgren is a good but not great defenseman and shouldn't be on the top pair. This team still needs a lot of work and probably needs a real tactician as head coach.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Good idea but the refs will decide to call it then

Who cares?

 

[Gordon Bombay]

who the hell is that masked woman behind cooper

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Just rubbed one out in the bathroom to Jovo's phone screenshot from earlier. Let's flip this game around in the 3rd!

If they lose the series it’s because we lost Game 3. That was the game we needed to win.

We had them on the ropes, and let them off. Reminds me of game 2 in the Cup Final in '79.

 

[IronBloodedLion]

I haven’t complained a lot about Gallant, but the fact that he finally touched the second line only to go back fo Panarin-Strome-Hunt is beyond infuriating. Since Game 3 he’s looked completely lost.

 

[17futurecap]

2 goals in the last 9 periods, and one was in garbage time in game 4.

 

[mrmovies779]

Igor has been just phenomenal. This series isn't on him by any means.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Will we score a goal?

 

[Priorae]

Screw it. This team has been an absolutely joy to watch all year. I’m standing this whole period.

They have exceeded anything I thought possible and there isn’t a player I don’t think will be better in the future. We have a great coach, good group.

Let’s F’N go!!!

Laf just following Mess's lead

Benching Kakko is horrifying.

He has to be hurt..

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Btw we’re 2 hours removed from the start of the game and “Kakko” is still one of the top trends in the US on Twitter lol

 

[EdJovanovski]

Play the fresh legs this period

Kravtsov time!

 

[DanielBrassard]

lol

That was a game. Im talking about a single moment when it slipped through our fingers

This will live on, but people will forget about game 3:

just like nobody talks about all the other games the rangers could have won in 2010 instead of the last SO game.
