GDT: ECQF - Game 4 - New York Rangers vs New Jersey Devils - 7pm EST - MSG, ESPN (NYR Lead 2-1)

[irishlaxburger2]

Beginning to muck it up seems to be shifting momentum. We just don’t score many goals that way historically.

 

[Machinehead]

Have you seen any sustained effort by nyr to drive momentum? Anything with a forecheck? Anything with proactive physically? Do you think nyr has contributed to NJ youth settling in by not pushing the envelope when they had them on their heels? Has nyr done anything to make a rookie goalie in the playoffs uncomfortable or significantly tested him? I'm not saying the devils are bad, I'm saying nyr had them on the ropes and they backed off giving a good team life.

I think the Devils are playing better than we are tonight and have a better lineup than we do.

 

[DuneGoon84]

And yet we won the first 2 games 5-1 !!!!!!!

I chalk that up to nerves and a young Devils teams with little experience. I really don't want to argue this. It is what it is. I hope they prove me wrong

 

[qwertyaas]

would be nice if the top 6 showed up

They are still out celebrating game 2 win and Mikas birthday.

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

Rangers social media needs to release Lafreniere's birth certificate tomorrow if we lose this

 

[Crease]

Kid Line watching Hughes score 60% of his team’s goals.

Kid Line: “Yea? Watch this.” *Cycles*

 

[nevesis]

The only way to turn the game is to score here. Building is dead and needs a reason to scream. Let’s go.

 

[TheDirtyH]

Every time Kakkos on the ice something good happens. Gerard wants to shuffle lines, find more minutes for this kid he's humming!

 

[gabevh3]

Regardless, we really suck 5v5. We can't carry the puck cleanly into offensive zone to generate those chances.

Looking like early in the season suddenly

 

[DanielBrassard]

I would be OK with another mini rebuild.

Finding a way to dump 93 for a top line center who can actually drive play would be excellent.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Do or die here

 

[The Gloaming]

Put Mika back to the circle ffs let's go

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Kakko. Feisty. He's on testosterone now? 200 mg a week?

A meal

 

[Oak]

Imagine paying for tickets to watch an effort like this.

 

[DialUp]

Trade Panarin to LAK. Somehow meet LAK in the Cup final in two years. He gets 10 points in 5 games to wreck us.

 

[bouds]

Trash offensive zone scheme, players never supporting the puck always back to the point if there's no cross-ice pass.

It’s clear theyer playing it safe as hell and don’t want to get caught deep.

Laf is just having a bad series. He can’t even keep the puck on his stick.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Yep. Imagine being the first overall pick, scoring 97 points in the best league in the world by 21 years old, securing a 65M contract extension and being the face of your franchise. How dare he have a little bit of confidence and swagger. It’s not like he’s an overly cocky or obnoxious player - the only thing obnoxious is how good he is and that he’s a Devil. If he were on a non-rival I’d be a big fan. As it is, he’s still one of the most exciting and dynamic players in the world. Wish we had a single player like him.

Hey if you add Laf & Kakko’s points together they’re only 20pts shy of Hughes

 

[DuneGoon84]

Score a damn goal here.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Also, if the Rangers lose this series, that is justifications 1, 2, 3, 4, 4b, 5, 5b, 5c, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 to explore sending Panarin’s 12M contract to any taker.

Not wanna sound like a broken record but ... NMC ... NMC, NMC, NMC.

NMC's all over the place.

Buyout? Same cap penalty, any way you cut it. It's a cursed contract.

 

[The Gloaming]

Kane somehow the only forward who realises this goalie is giving up shit rebounds

 

[LokiDog]

Kakko. Feisty. He's on testosterone now? 200 mg a week?

That would be awful for a kid his age. Significant shutdown only to replicate base levels for a 21 year old male.

If he’s gonna do it, blast 500mg twice a week and take proper post cycle support to avoid long term shutdown

How Lazar

I said this a few weeks ago, that come this time he needs to prove why he should be here robbing the Federal Reserve blind. Some guys don't have it for the ratcheted up stakes. Starting to believe he does not

 

[Bob Richards]

Alright I need to lay down now

 

[I Eat Crow]

I've heard that somewhere before...
