GDT: ECQF Game 4 - New York Rangers @ Pittsburgh Penguins - 7pm EST, MSG, ESPN - Series (PIT 2-1)

[Zerotonine]

6 goals on 40 shots? Lol f***ing horrible goaltending these playoffs

 

[TGWL]

Real disappointment for me is Trouba. I was not expecting him to shut Crosby or a gimpy Malkin down, but I expected him to punish people who dare stand anywhere near the crease, penalties be damned. Well...I'm still waiting.

Half the team is a disappointment. I was wasn't expecting much from the 4th line and then period 1 of game 1 happened and I thought, maybe, maybe this is the tempo we need with the hard, near late hits. But that all stopped.

 

[Fataldogg]

Sad part is they actually could come back. Domingue never seems to know where he is in the net, every shot seems like he can’t feel it. Just keep shooting the puck.

Domingue has been fine. Our fans keep criticizing him and he is the one who has been making saves when it matters. He is the goalie making a big save and his team goes down the other end and scores.

 

[Machinehead]

Yeah but Zibanejad is unmovable.

Should we have the talk about Panarin?

I'm not saying f*** all as in been bad (although we could have that discussion) I'm saying this as much virgin territory for them as anyone else.

Zibanejad last played in the playoffs five years ago and Panarin was on Columbus.

 

[DueDiligence]

A young team getting playoff experience can be a very painful thing

Young? Panarin and Kreider are both 30 and Zibanejad is 28. When you 3 best forwards have already reached their peak there's no time to gain experience. It's win now.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

STOP WITH THE YOUNG KIDS GETTING EXPERIENCE IS PAINFUL GARBAGE.

They are the one's showing up. And they aren't getting that much experience. Kakko on pace for under 11 minutes for the game. Finally GG is changing the lines. Unfortunately he's gonna leave Kakko on line 3 to disappear.

 

[SA16]

At least one of these bums will be gone. We also don't have to worry about blowing our wads on Vatrano either who has competely disappeared.

2 goals and 2 assists in the first 3 playoff games.

Completely disappeared

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Switching the lines after seeing the opponent has had you figured out for three games. How revolutionary.

BuT GaLLaNT iz grATe coahC

 

[Baby Punisher]

I was just gonna start the off season thread when Kreider scored.

 

[Taluss]

Surely we can get 2 on a 3rd string goaltender…. Right? Someone give me hope?

 

[duhmetreE]

Braun on the Left Side has been bad. Take a hint Gallant. Try Hajek or Jones.

How can you be so ignorant to what's happening?

Braun - Nemeth has been atrocious

 

[Fataldogg]

Goodrow is So valuable to this team in playoffs but many just thought he was an overpaid bum. Let’s see who does the dirty work on this team now

Goodrow was more than worth his contract. He is the type of player you need to compete in a series like this.

 

[RangersFan]

Why move Laf? Play the kid line more.

 

[DuneGoon84]

Most of their goals were scored on sneaky cutters, too much puck watch no damn awareness what so ever, play the players

 

[Allan92]

Wait....why break up the best line?

 

[CasusBelli]

Surely we can get 2 on a 3rd string goaltender…. Right? Someone give me hope?

We need three … while not giving up another.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

2 goals and 2 assists in the first 3 playoff games.

Completely disappeared

You're right. They're all playing so well. I apologize.

 

[RoyalDuder]

Have we won a faceoff this series?

 

[Baby Punisher]

Surely we can get 2 on a 3rd string goaltender…. Right? Someone give me hope?

It's becoming more apparent to me that the only reason this guy is a 3rd sting goalie is because he is a lefty.

 

[rangersfansince08]

Only wins matter according to some. Doesn't matter how we were winning. Our PP was never going to dry up. Igor was going to steal us 16 games in the playoffs. Don't criticize Gallant. The fat f*** knows how to coach apparently.

 

[Bluto]

Panarin benched lol. Bout time. $12 million and allergic to shooting. We have enough passers.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Well at least the islanders are a joke again

 

[mas0764]

Lol, the kid line is broken up, you say?

Should have happened before the series despite what @chosen told us.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

I'm gonna have to hire a good artist to draw my graphic novel about Bill Pidto's drunken exploits. Opening scene is him telling his therapist that Nemeth drove him to drugs and alcohol and he eventually becomes the head of the Mexican cartel.

 

[Hire Sather]

Lmao at all the Igor blame. Are you even watching the game??? Team in front of him gave up, who f***ing cares about the last goal, nobody is playing anymore, that’s on players like asshole kreider who didnt show up. And some people want to give him a C???

It's nothing against the goalie personally. It's just that it doesn't seem to matter if you have the advantage in net. It's much better to have better players elsewhere than to have the great goalie
