Show me the puck in the clip. I'll wait.


True. If Trouba is out, then it's Rangers in 5.

5 eh. . No way.

 

[mrhockey193195]

Resilient isn’t a bad quality, coupled with being skilled and opportunistic.
A good combination

And having a sensational goalie.

 

[Auston Marlander]

I missed the game, but how is it possible that not a single Pather was a + in a game they scored 4 goals. That has to be pretty rare.

 

[Bernie Federko]

2 minutes of 5 on 3 then 3 minutes of 5 on 4

Thanks.

So that's a big difference, I don't think the Rangers survive a 5 on 3. No matter, stupid play by Trouba. What's he doing with his elbow up like that? Come on man, this the ECF, gotta be smarter than that.

scored 2 powerplay goals and were on the ice for a SH goal against probably

also maybe they didn't really lose and maybe they actually won did you ever think of that?

 

[PuckLuck3043]

If trouba is out those odds make it juicier.

If Trouba is out that's better for the Rangers.

 

[Bernie Federko]

Why have a guy in your lineup that only plays 5 minutes? Do the Rangers really not have anybody else?

 

[BMOK33]

Outplayed by CAR. Outplayed by FLA. Amazing how a team can keep getting "outplayed" yet keeps on winning. Maybe the term "outplayed" isn't well understood.

Didn’t get outplayed by Carolina really but probably have been in this series for sure

 

[PuckLuck3043]

The Panthers defense was trash on most of the Ranger goals today. Absolute trash. Guys were wide open and Laf drove past 3 Panthers on his second goal. I don't want to hear how great the Panthers were.

 

[Irishguy42]

5 eh. . No way.

I mean, taking out a bad player and replacing him with a replacement level player...yeah.

The Rangers have plenty of alternatives for the bottom 6 they just feel that Rempe brings something that others don't.

 

[Outl4w]

Great game. Glad to see Goodrow show off his championship pedigree he got in Tampa today.

Nah Carolina series was pretty even

the biggest trick the Rangers are pulling on people is they don't give a shit if you dominate zone time but don't get any good scoring chanes off of it. That was Carolina's biggest problem overall. Rangers do well at preventing really high scoring chances considering the amount of zone possesion time they give up and they are very good at capitalizing on the chances they create for themselves

so, it looks like they spend all game getting beat to shit and then get "lucky" on the few chances they create

but it's by design

and it's annoying and ugly and I say that as a rangers fan lol

it's tough to watch them do bad zone exits and have to keep defending until suddenly they create pressure and score a goal, but it's gotten them this far

e: oh, outside of this game so far the series has been quite even. panthers haven't really been a dominant team or anything, rangers have taken advantage of their chances, etc

 

[The don godfather]

Ill

I'll take the plus money thanks.

Its gonna bite them in the arse the next few games. Luck and hard work usually closes the gap that's why I'm slapping money on cats tomorrow morning.

I think most would agree the Panthers are overachieving the last 2 years based on their D. Not sure if maybe much like those 20-21 Isles teams they’re simply built for postseason hockey despite not having a D core that wows you but that D on paper and seeing Ekblad you think wow, this team is doing well considering

 

[Bernie Federko]

The Rangers have plenty of alternatives for the bottom 6 they just feel that Rempe brings something that others don't.

OK, but they don't trust him to play more than 5 minutes? Too much strain on the rest of the lineup if you ask me.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

They were not outplayed by Carolina. That's a false narrative. They were badly outplayed in the 3rd today for sure. The deserve to win meter had them winning games 1 and 2 FWIW. Today it was heavily in Florida's favor.

*waves vaguely in the direction of Raleigh North Carolina* the folks might have something to tell ya

The panthers are a weird defensive team. They shut things down for extended periods and they also give up a ton of odd man rushes and leave guys wide open. They are a good team but they have flaws that the Rangers can exploit.

Cats are a different animal . They a handful. The longer this series goes the more you guys are gonna lose to injury. They wear you down . They a nasty bunch take no prisoners.

 

[Baby Punisher]

The Rangers deserved to win the game.

You're betting the equivalent of a dinner for two at McDonalds and can maybe win a dinner for two at Five Guys.

Not sure how much I'd be bragging, especially considering your track record.

It's been working and I do trust Lavy to make the right decisions. The record with Rempe in the lineup is insanely good and he usually only plays 5-10 minutes a game.
