[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Panarin, Mika and Trocheck completely MIA.

Think NJ looked at a lot of Jacques Lemaire tape. They've tightened up considerably. I wonder if they're gonna be looser back in Newark trying to put in a show at home.

L

If they continue to play this way it will be a first round exit. This is an unacceptable 30 minutes at home, risking letting NJ go home tied when we had two opportunities to put our foot on their necks.

This coaching staff doesn't know how to adjust

 

[HANK30]

NJ in 6 take it to the bank and on top of it we might not score another goal.

They'll be better by Game 5 on Thursday...they have an extra day to figure things out.

 

[Machinehead]

They have better D but their forwards are easy to shut down. Why did we win the first 2 games? Did we play a different style? Yes we did.

What I am watching tonight is not a playoff game. It's almost like they dont want to be there. Just going through the motions.

We outplayed them 5v5.

If the Rangers were capable of doing that sustainably, they would.

They didn't all year.

 

[The Gloaming]

Shesty passes the puck better than half this D corps any maybe even more. No exaggeration.

 

[Oak]

Igor just go deep with it, try and score

Man I would love to see that. Igor leaving the net and going on a break away.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

The vets have been putrid in the trenches. Devils barely exerting any effort

 

[bleedblue94]

Because everything is always about the Rangers and the idea that another team is better is treated as heresy.

I've been telling you guys since Thanksgiving this team is better than us.

I'm not arguing that the devils are t better, they very well may be but when you have a team that you think is better than you isnt that even more of a reason to come out and assert yourself in game 3 instead of playing more passively in game 3 and 4 then you did at all in game 1 or 2

call gallant a taxi

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

He’s quite literally statistically the worst 1st overall pick in NHL history so far, worse than Yakupov

First and only one of our 1OAs since 1965 who didn't even play for us, sadly this is our best 1OA pick in a long ass time and it still sucks booty.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I don't even know what Lafreniere was hoping to accomplish on that play. Even if he got it on net.

 

[Bob Richards]

Come on that was kinda funny.

Igor invents a scoring chance out of thin air and Laf spins around like the flush of a toilet to erase it.

 

[PalmCoastRanger]

Laf has been terrible. Like, historically bad

Just completely bailed on that scoring chance. Sad.

 

[Kords]

Country club Mimosa's must of been banging yesterday

 

[Boris Zubov]

How many battles down low is Mika gonna lose?

I give up....all of them?

 

[Filip Chytil]

Is that Dolan walking on the ice?

 

[DuneGoon84]

The vets have been putrid in the trenches. Devils barely exerting any effort

We are our own worst enemy. Been like this all season.

RIP Alexei Cherepanov. I wonder about what that guy would have become.

 

[Row I Goon]

In other news I have family coming around and a lovely standing rib roast I’ll be spinning over charcoal this afternoon for a late lunch….

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Tampa Game 7 2015 vibes.

At least that game was tied going into the third, we’re down 1-0 and it might as well be 15-0 right now factoring in how we’re playing.

 

[gabevh3]

Lafraud with a miss

 

[qwertyaas]

What the f*** was Laf even doing? And why are Sam and Joe acting like Laf was close on that one?

 

[RangerLifer]

Use your mojo, Sam!! SAY SHUTOUT!

 

[bleedblue94]

yeah it was horrific passing by him maybe playoffs nerves

Heard all year that he's a playoff performer, which I already knew wasnt true. He's been awful through 3 games. Awful.
