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

[Brian Leetch]

Gallant needs to be fired for this playoff showing. There's no excuse for this. None. Show him the door and bring in a Keenan-type coach. Team needs to be punished for this.

Braun is a disaster, he’s Nemeth without the penalties.

Yeah, but Braun is facing the Crosby line. Nemeth is facing 3rd and 4th liners and still getting railed.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Always looking for the pass. Down 4 goals and still looking for the pass. Pathetic.

That's on Turk.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

This is mirroring 2006 so much it's scary. Outclassed by a more experienced team. Great young goalie bursting onto the scene looking really pedestrian, probably will be pulled in favor of the backup in the last game too like Weekes went in for Lundqvist in Game 4 against Jersey too.

Holy shit. Yes. It is. This is uncanny.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Got to be honest, Igor getting yanked in two straight games in Pittsburgh is not something remotely saw coming.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

What gets me is that the entire season people said "let's make the playoffs so we can get some experience now instead of later." And then when the team loses it mentally, everyone is f***ing flabbergasted.

What the f*** did you guys think "experience" meant? This is why it's important.

Yup and people also underestimated Pitt.

 

[DuneGoon84]

Trash Strome and a few others, bring strong, shoot only players. Need to change the way we approach offense. CRASH THE NET!!!

 

[hpNYR]

Absorb it all Igor. Let the hate flow through you. Go full Sith and come back and steal the series.

How many times are we going to say this? It's over.

 

[PalmCoastRanger]

Copp is clearly injured. He may be slower than Nemeth.

No Goodrow, no Lindgren, no Motte, no Blais and a broken Copp eradicates almost everyone who plays a “playoff style” game on our roster.

Kid line has been good. Vatrano depending on cost should be brought back and I’d like Copp over Strome too as he was great before getting hurt.

Fox, Zib, Bread, Kreider have been totally average. Really frustrating.

Fox gets a pass from. The other 3...hoping I guess hope they're just not regular season divas. If they are, we don't need three of those.

 

[Circus86]

I miss the prime Staal, Girardi and McD shutting down Crosby.

McD can still shut him down. Should have never traded him.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

I seriously cant believe these p***yes are not involved in one scrum. Not one fight. Feels like how we did nothing to Tom Wilson after he killed Panarin. No balls, no heart. Disgusting.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

It's a team game. The whole team lost it when Crosby tied the game.

When you look at the ark of a contending window, the first trip to the playoffs is usually ugly.

I don't disagree, but I also don't really get how a response to my post is "it's a team game." Sure, that's true. But the only pieces on this team who aren't melting down are the young kids, even in the face of their "leaders" being completely lost.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Holy shit. Yes. It is. This is uncanny.

At least we'll sweep the Atlanta Thrashers next year if we're just repeating history!

 

[CLW]

Braun is a disaster, he’s Nemeth without the penalties.

The org getting both is a black eye on the org.

 

[Jauffre]

This is mirroring 2006 so much it's scary. Outclassed by a more experienced team. Great young goalie bursting onto the scene looking really pedestrian, probably will be pulled in favor of the backup in the last game too like Weekes went in for Lundqvist in Game 4 against Jersey too.

Apt comparison.

 

[effen]

Penguins have unlocked the secret to terrifying a Ranger player with the puck: skate at them in a straight line.

Zero counter to someone skating at them in a straight line. Cough it up over and over. Just soft.

Kid line has been good. Vatrano depending on cost should be brought back and I’d like Copp over Strome too as he was great before getting hurt.

Fox, Zib, Bread, Kreider have been totally average. Really frustrating. Just don’t want to do the things it takes to win. The over passing, refusing to shoot, looking for everything to be pretty and wrapped in a bow. No one knows how to play greasy hockey.

Blais is irrelevant he hasn’t played in months.

Goodrow/Lindgren are canceled out by Rakell/Dumuolin

Zucker missed the first two games

The penguins have both their goalies out

Injuries are not an excuse the penguins have been equally hard if not worse

The funny thing is a bunch of us were expecting 2006 before Game 1 even started.

Anyone who has watched this team long enough knows how it goes.

 

[17futurecap]

Yea Joe, that answer just came to you.

 

[LokiDog]

Great.

We'd then have 2 Mikas!

I’m not suggesting adding Gaudreau? I’m saying I wouldn’t give Gaudreau 11M despite the regular season he just had. Panarin at 12M is a luxury. He’s a perimeter player who is neutralized in the playoffs too much to be worth such a cap hit.

Goodrow is not there. The overpaid bum with more heart than the entire team combined.

 

[CasusBelli]

Gallant needs to be fired for this playoff showing. There's no excuse for this. None. Show him the door and bring in a Keenan-type coach. Team needs to be punished for this.

His name is Torts.

 

[carlsection404]

Igor will give up 10 game 5 if gallant lets him he sucks

Sorry that Gallant doesn’t kick guys like iron Mike.

Sam said it!

Sorry I was out ravaging the under belly of the city with Bill Pidto. What did Sam say?
