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

[Fataldogg]

FYI, Panthers are out shooting the Capitals 23 to 11 and the score is 1-1. That's what can happen if you get above average goaltending.

 

[effen]

This is the 2nd coach that has begged this team to play more north south, the periods we did it we looked our best, they just don't do it.

They don't want to. They can, they score goals at a stunning rate when they do, but man they just don't f***ing want to.

 

[IronBloodedLion]

The Rangers are a soft perimeter team, and the Penguins go hard to the net and defend. It’s simple as that.

The Cirque de Sole act doesn’t work in the playoffs.

 

[DuneGoon84]

Holy shit, I remember when some of you guys white knighted so hard for Hank when he missed unscreened, untipped shots from the point.

I remember a lot of folks who are now shitting all over Igor who are looking pretty hypocritical right now.

Hank was so much better at reacting to deflections and screens in the playoffs in particular. This crap is embarrassing

 

[Whoot Whoot]

no one is playing well but lots ofb lame to gg too

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Georgiev the rest of the series. Igor needs an offseason of reflection. Gallant has been real bad.

Lmao 5 of those 6 werent even his fault. Are you watching or just looking at the boxscore? Serious question.

 

[Circus86]

Pretty sure those weren't real, were they?

Then I missed something. Definitely hope they weren't real.

 

[bl02]

Strome with some quality defensive play, quality turnovers

Zibanejad probably our worst forward expectation wise. No. Definitely our worst forward.

They just got embarrassed and Gallant has no answer.

Was told he isn’t a problem this series the stats say he’s awesome

 

[TheDirtyH]

First 80 degree day in 10 months. I had a day off. Cooked three great meals, had a great workout, went on a walk with a cute girl, and even went the whole day without a cigarette.

I should've known this would be how this game went

 

[Zerotonine]

5 goals in a period in the playoffs when your already down a game?

Is this not the goalie everyone was saying veznia and even hart winner?

Seriously these playoffs have been horrible so far

 

[94wasagoodyear]

This team is about 2-3 years away from being contenders.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Imagine having Ryan Reaves on a team getting destroyed in the playoffs and he does nothing to change the momentum?

 

[Kocur26]

If Larry Brooks got hit by a train I would make sure the train is ok, just in case you're still not clear.

That’s because you wouldn’t know a puck if it hit you in the tits .

 

[hackeyman]

We are not the better team. Their 1st line plays balls to the wall. Their star players actually contribute.

....

Their 3rd string goalie is outplaying our Vezina winner!

Their star player happens to be the greatest player of his generation and has zillions of playoff experience.......but hell let's not allow facts to get in the way of our ranting.

 

[Go Rangers]

Series over

If this gets any worse, can we qualify for the draft lottery tomorrow?

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

This series isn’t over but man we need to do something different.

The series is over. I just hope we can win game 5 at home and not lose on home ice.. That would be the icing on the cake if we lost at home

 

[NYR Viper]

FYI, Panthers are out shooting the Capitals 23 to 11 and the score is 1-1. That's what can happen if you get above average goaltending.

And play a structured defensive system. I would doubt Florida is getting about 20 high danger chances a period…

 

[Brother Mouzone]

This series isn’t over but man we need to do something different.

 

[Machinehead]

Gallant made a stupid statement at the beginning of the series that he was t going to pay special attention to Crosby .

And then he did a 180 on that by hard matching with a matchup that's a disaster

 

[IronBloodedLion]

The Rangers are a soft perimeter team, and the Penguins go hard to the net and defend. It’s simple as that.

The Cirque de Soliel act doesn’t work in the playoffs.

 

[CasusBelli]

I still think Igor is battling an injury after the Carter hit. But I still endorse blowing up this team, as I did during the season, since we’re nowhere near cup-ready and our best players are about to start declining.

 

[TheDirtyH]

#hankwasbetter

I stay believing this org cursed itself when they effectively ran him out of town for no reason

 

[duhmetreE]

We are getting destroyed in the X's and O's. Either theres no structure or it's getting ignored. That needs to be addressed this off season, one way or the other.

they don't practice. We haven't had a real practice since the playoffs started.

Gallant is not an x's and o's guy. I have no clue about the assistants that take the brunt of the work

 

[bouds]

FYI, Panthers are out shooting the Capitals 23 to 11 and the score is 1-1. That's what can happen if you get above average goaltending.

Or you get lucky, you lose a majority of the Games when you get outshot like that. It’s simple facts.
