It’s too bad that the Avs are out. Would loved to have seen an Avs-Panthers Final. World diving championship for the ages!

 

[Daves a mess]

Forfeit the win Rangers fans!

I'm "told" that the Cats had way more " attempted" shots and Corsi Fsx78+tax and therefore are the obvious clear winners.
I bet the Ranger lockeroom was a morgue after the Wenn goal.

How on earth did the NHL allow the Rangers to move on after the Canes dominance in shots generated and on goal, zone time and TOP?


Shame Gary. Shame.

Ps. Ranger fan who has the Panthers in 7.

But rooting like hell I'm wrong.

 

[DialUp]

This is true.

What about Carolina? He had them cruising passed us as well.

Who? Not sure I follow. What is a Carolina? Anyway, Panthers baby best team in decades!

 

[Raspewtin]

Florida should consider not being PP merchants IMHO

 

[Outl4w]

Goodrow delivered what they paid him for and made us love him in Tampa. He shows up when it counts and brings the body every night. Sucks we couldn't afford to keep him and many of the secondary players during our cup runs. Go Goodrow! I still want the Stars and Panthers final to keep the cup from original 6 markets and out of Canada.

 

[Ratsreign]

Agreed. If you watch the replay, trainer asks rodrigues if hes okay while face down holding his head while on the ice, e-rod nods yes and then trainer just stops doing any medical related stuff and just keeps a hand on his back.

Embellishment should be reviewable. E-rod laid on the ice for 3 minutes only to not miss a shift

I wonder if it could be possible that sometimes a trainer may tell a player that took a hit to the head (initial point of contact or otherwise), “no, no, don’t get up, yet.” while they are initially checking on them.

Uh, they don’t. ERod knew what he was doing and you are foolish if you think otherwise. Its embarassing for the game.

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

Florida DOMINATED the 3rd. 1st and 2nd were very even. But eventually the nerds in nhl front offices will realize goals/quality >> quantity that their models favor.

 

[TheOrganist]

What a sick goal by AL…wow that was world class. Let’s go Rangerssssss.

Goals are a really bad metric for determining a winner we should actually have a team of Yale grads to look at the analytics after the game and then come out with a decision like boxing judges.

Ever been hit in the head / knocked down playing sports? I’ve been hit in the helmet/head by a wild pitch in high school, and that’s what the umpire said to me when I went to get right back up. The umpire and my coach (a fireman/emt by day) asked me some questions, and being satisfied with my replies told me to go ahead and stand up now.

This has been the Rangers all year. They get outshot all the time, but they look better in the advanced stats because they have a higher danger chances. And when they do give up a good look they have Igor.

Florida throws every puck at the net. They were better in Game 3, but the Rangers had the better xGF in both Games 1 and 2.

Particularly if it's a neck injury as opposed to head.

I feel like there's some rangers fans here who have never played a contact sport. I've had to crawl off the field in rugby before after a bad hit. I understand Erod wasn't hurt but a hit can knock the wind out of you or stun you. Even a clean one can do that.

 

[Bleedred]

Actually, what happened is that the Rangers moved six wins away from you having to spend a summer posting about how good the Devils were 25 years ago.

That’s very funny and all, but when do I post how good the Devils were 25 years ago? You must be talking about other people.

And that post you’re replying to was me taking a gigantic dump on Bob (who played like an old washed up bum) while praising Igor.

Hey p***ycats!

Are you the Canes in disguise?

Unironically a good idea

I played ncaa and have many good buddies who play/played pro. I can promise you the trainer was not telling him to stay down and milk it.

Regardless, ERod acted like he got shot before the trainer got to him. Full out embarassing for the sport.

Just seen a chance to post something funny. I don't come on the mains much, so don't even recognize your username, much less know what your post history would look like.

 

[Leonardo87]

I know some of my Rangers folks were not happy with that game yesterday. Felt like Game 5 against Carolina , but the results were favorable to the Rangers.

I see it as a lot of opportunity and potential for the rest of this series. Rangers have not played well, but are still getting it done and are getting production from their bottom 6 which is critical for a deep playoff run.

Panarin, Kreider, Zibanejad, and Fox all were held off the scoresheet yesterday in a 5-4 win. If these guys can get going I like the Rangers odds.

But I still am expecting a long series 6 or even 7 games.

Have you watched the NHL recently? Igor got pulled from a game earlier this year because he got hot in the head and he was still playing. Concussion protocol is real and if you act like you died on the ice you should of been forced to go through it. This is what modern day sports has become due to the health consequences that we have witnessed. High school is not in any way the same thing as professional sports and to compare it as so is ridiculous.

No, it's really not

Yeah, I mean you can say this for every individual incident, but given that the Panthers are doing it with regularity, they don't get the benefit of the doubt.

 

[gritdash60]

Dont know if this has been posted, only checked last 4 pages but what a pass/redirect with his skate by Barkov last night. Pretty sure the announcer missed it completely and thought it was just some random bounce.

I personally think throwing elbows at people is embarrassing for the game

Now do diving and acting like you been killed. Do you find that embarrassing?

Lmao of course they’re not telling them to stay down so they can milk it, holy shit dude.
They tell them to stay down until they (the trainer) can evaluate things.
