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

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Awesome when the between coverage calls the rangers not a playoff team, and you can't really argue it.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

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.

That same guy is about to be 35 years old, older than 2 of our star players. And if he isn't racking up points, he's still creating havoc.

And don't omit the goaltending duel in this series.

 

[RickChartraw]

i'd double shift the kids. lot of high paid players not earning it.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Damn Igor sux tonight

 

[RangersFan]

Goodrow and Lindgren were huge losses in the tuffness category. Motte and even Blais as well. All that grit out the window and that is exactly what is needed against the Pens.

 

[gabevh3]

Av was a much better coach than this

 

[Anthony5967]

This team isn’t working hard enough either. They aren’t. This is unacceptable. Rooney with Chytil, except, HE ISNT TAKING THE D ZONE DRAW! It’s chytil. This coach sucks.

 

[PalmCoastRanger]

Embarrassing.

Learning what it takes to win..... and we're doing none of it

Kids are learning, and they appear to be quick learners. The vets already know everything, so they'll just keep on veting.

 

[Ail]

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

He certainly stuck to that.

 

[mas0764]

We outperformed our stats and are paying for it now. Be better.

Be f***ing smarter! Our forwards aren’t anywhere near good enough. And our defense is green and half of it is still in the AHL.

This team still should have been a seller but it’s owner and GM don’t understand how to build a hockey team and neither do half the posters on this board.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

The assholes are running rampant in here. Some of you people are just miserable.

 

[NYR94]

Outshot 13-0 by Pittsburgh in the slot

I can't even find the words for that

 

[Megustaelhockey]

17 goals against in not even 4 games played. Pitt are just throwing pucks at the net. This is a meltdown of epic proportions.

Teams like Pitt that can make something out of nothing offensively, those are the ones that win cups. If you are responsible defensively, get decent goaltending, and can score with some amount of ease, you win.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

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.

It's painful, and it's our leaders that are the biggest offenders. We are way too predictable and easy to defend, their d have time to make plays, it's simple playoff hockey that the core refuses to play

 

[NewLife]

Bench everyone and goon it up. Sometimes it's sweet to send some f***er to the hospital.

Feel bad for Igor, doubt were going back to Pittsburgh but would be nice if he could make the crowd to shut up.

This team has a long way to go. A lot of manin up to do.

Good night.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

1-8 in their last 9 playoff games now.

Connect the dots people.

1-8?
18…?

f***ing Marc Staal!

 

[Go Rangers]

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

Would just what dolan deserves.

 

[NYR Viper]

 

[duhmetreE]

We need a Bergeron or Danault.

I honestly am shocked at how bad Mika has been. He's covid-vegan Mika. I was expecting him to be 2017 playoff Mika.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Drury needs to find a center that can play defense. Gallant fooled himself into thinking Mika is a two way center. Panarin/Mika/Kreider is the line moving forward. Your matchup line next season is Kakko and a center that can defend.

Pretty sure this is why Copp was brought in.. Except Gallant continues to use strome on the dot.

Goodie Copp Kakko

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Welp! At least we're able to keep our pick from the Copp trade. This series has shown that this Rangers team is still very far from playoff calibur.

I’m sure we’ll draft a stud with our world class drafting and development program.

 

[CasusBelli]

Av was a much better coach than this

Missing Torts big time over here.

 

[nevesis]

Goodrow and Lindgren were huge losses in the tuffness category. Motte and even Blais as well. All that grit out the window and that is exactly what is needed against the Pens.

100% spot on.

 

[itsPLkielbasa]

Reaves should not be playing.
Igor has shit the bed.

Can SpaceX take Nemeth?
Has anyone seen Trouba?

That Zbad and Trouba contract are going to haunt me forever.

What a shit show.

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Curious what the expected goals against are tonight. Anyone know?
