GDT: ECQF Game 2 : New York Rangers vs Pittsburgh Penguins - 7pm EST - MSG, TNT - Series (PIT 1-0)

[BleedBlueNYR]

He should have been leveled about 4 times by now, he should be going through concussion protocol, someone needs to hit him in open ice, cleanly.

Cleanly of course. I would never cheer if Crosby took a shot to the jaw.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

This is not good. Letting them cut the lead to just one in a game they have no business even being in right now. We should be leading by multiple goals but we let them hang around and it could burn us.

Mika is in his own head trying to score on Louis freaking Domingue. Give me a break, just crank it.

 

[ognilacc]

a pens life
1967-1991-who are you???
1991-1994-great job 2 cups
1995-2005-get owned by the caps or the flyers in the playoffs
2005-2008-cups
2008-2017-playoffs
2017-cup
2018-???-die

 

[TGWL]

They have more than double the high danger scoring chances on us. Rangers need to start making it difficult for their goalie.

 

[Fitzy]

Gotta respect the skill level by Crosby there, tho I loathe to admit it.

After 7 straight seasons of no playoffs, he should by all rights have been a career Ranger.

 

[LeetchisGod]

I need Shesterkin to be better than whatever bums Pitt is running out in goal too and it really hasn’t been an advantage yet

Our defense has been hot garbage. The Crosby line has pissed on us.

 

[LORDE]

I mean is it too much to ask for them to steamroll these f***ers in the 3rd?!?!?!

 

[Taluss]

why is the ref talking to crosby on the bench after that goal.?

“Yes Sid ik ik we gave them 2 power plays im sorry that’s unacceptable we shouldn’t be doing that. Ik it hurts but don’t forget I’m your biggest fan in the world and will always ignore any penalty we should give you, I promise. Please tell me your still my friend?”

 

[Machinehead]

Apparently the Pens absolutely pantsed us in xG that period.

Gotta admit, that's not what I saw. And you rarely hear that from me.

 

[Number 9]

Pitt is one line, letang and straight up BUMS. So far this series and letting such a shitty team hang around is a ranger problem.

 

[hackeyman]

Crosby is still great. No signs of slowing down. I hate it.

I have only seen bits of this game but the last game he was a monster. only 2 assists on the scoreboard but his 200ft play almost perfect . The little things he did...unreal. I've seen a few of his games since he came back from injury and I think he's at his best level in quite a while but he's only one player. We're going to beat these stupid excuses of birds.

 

[mas0764]

Shesterkin needs to win this. No excuses.

Lundqvist outdueled goalies like Price and Holtby in their primes [both Vezina winners]. If Shesterkin loses a series to Domingue it will be a travesty.

He kinda can’t let up many goals like his last two if he wants to win this series.

 

[CasusBelli]

Hell of a game. We’re getting plenty of chances, but the Penguins look dangerous every time they get the puck, likely because they control the crease.

 

[chosen]

Unfair how good Crosby is.

 

[Saitama]

I think Shesty has something like a 94.5% in these two games so far? How do people put the blame on him?

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Mika point blank guy made it look routine

They need to stop shooting to his glove side. He's got a quick glove.

 

[ognilacc]

yeah

 

[Fitzy]

The Chytil line should be fresh and full of energy for 5v5 in the 3rd period, they've been used very sparingly so far.

 

[Champs 94]

Cannot wait for the day the shitsburg pens are in obscurity for years.

They sicken me to no end. I disliked the Devils and Islanders but respected them when they won cups. I have zero respect for the Penguins and their crying, whining stars. First it was Mario and crybaby Sid is the worst. Never seen a team get carried by the refs as much either. Wish they would have MOVED like they originally were going to.

That’s weird because it felt like we had the puck the whole period.

 

[Ginger Papa]

@Ginger Papa going for the likes record tonight. Keep it up!

Let’s finish this off in the 3rd, Boys

 

[FoxyClean]

Giving up too many bullshit deflating goals like that. Kills all the momentum.

 

[TGWL]

Most of our shots were meh. I know the glove save on Panarin looks big on the powerplay there but that's a bad shot and an easier save. We've had our success from the point, shooting and screening/deflections. Might as well go for those as much as we can if we can't draw point blank shots like them.

fr devils isles and pens are the worst i dont care about the flyers imo

 

[gabevh3]

Wish Kakko would cut to the middle instead of settling for a shot outside the tops of the circle. If only he had a bit more footspeed.

He thinks he's not allowed to go to the net

 

[Jauffre]

Mika can't f***ing shoot anymore. I still blame his new tape job and I'm pretty sure he changed sticks. I want 5-goal Mika back.
