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

[EdJovanovski]

With Lafreniere and Kakko leading the team instead of them, we're 20-62.

Hughes has 3 of his team's 5 goals.

Kakko is in his D+4. When can we stop coping and admit they're f***ing ass?

If you combine Kakko’s 4 seasons he’s only 1 point shy of Hughe’s 22/23 season!

 

[PuckLuck3043]

The Devils have had TWO 5 on 5 goals in the last 2 games and some of you are acting like they are dominating. Get a clue.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Team looks like they want the early summer vacation more than the cup.

We need players who would sacrifice family members to win the cup. Too much nonchalance in this group.

 

[CLW]

I am OK with losing this game. Almost every series (aside from this year which has been nuts league wide) had a game a team loses like this at home. It was game 3....

We would have had a good chance against Carolina too. Devils should eat them up. But the series will only be tied after tonight? We ALL know it in our hearts: if we don't somehow win this game, it is looking very very bad.

No. We'll win the next game away. The real question is if/when we can win one at home.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

This place is miserable. Remember those dead years out of the playoffs? We are up 2-1. We have a good team. I agree we are not playing to our potential, but only down 1-0. We are in this.

Those dead years weren't just dead for us. They were halcyon years for the Devils. Winning three Stanley Cups in eight years while we had to luck into a franchise goaltender in the 7th round who never got any goal support.

Being a fan of this team is a miserable waste of time, energy, and money, but I would never disrespect my dad who introduced me to the team by giving up on them.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

You know the 1292309230823 times Panarin has done nothing for 40 and then wins the game in the 3rd by himself?

Would be nice if he did that now.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

How can they not get a goal behind this f***ing guy.


Getting a little pissed off

The only time he got tested the puck squeeked through him but stopped short.

 

[rangersfansince08]

I'm not saying you're wrong but if anybody gets sainthood around here, it's homegrown players. Nobody can criticize Miller despite arguably being on the least effective 5v5 pair since he entered the league.

We're long overdue to trade Alexis Pyatt and Kaapo Asham for players who can skate and be weapons now.

we should def explore trading krappo and laughable laf. miller sucks too but nobody wants to say it for some reason. still laughing at the idea that he would steal Norris votes from fox

 

[Crease]

I was okay with him quiet in games 1 or 2. He stifled Hughes for a time. The last two, the team hasn’t had the same jump.

They know it’s not best of 3, right?

It’s about to be

 

[McRanger92]

Hughes outplaying Mika & Panarin is the difference the last 2 games. Time to show up nice guys

I have no problem critiquing Miller, but he did have the 12th most EV points of any defenseman in the NHL which is kind of effective at 5v5. I absolutely agree with you on the children - I don’t care if they may improve or breakout, they still have value right now and, like it or not, we’ve committed to players in Shesty, Zib, Trochek, etc that means we need players who are effective now not in a few years.

Meanwhile, we’ve allowed 4 goals so far in 4 games… our 2nd pairing is a lot less of a problem in this series than the invisible 12M, offense only man who has no offense.

 

[will1066]

They need to find a way to get more traffic in front. It's gonna require a greasy goal or deflection

 

[LeetchisGod]

The Devils have had TWO 5 on 5 goals in the last 2 games and some of you are acting like they are dominating. Get a clue.

That makes us look worse. They don't even have to do much to beat us.

 

[17futurecap]

Showing the Tro interview at game, someone just yelled hey paisano you want to f***ing score?

 

[Clark Kellogg]

MISSING:
All the below persons were last seen wearing New York Rangers Hockey Sweaters.
Mika Zibanejad
Artemi Panarin
Vincent Trocheck
Alexis Lafrenier
K’Andrea Miller

IF FOUND PLEASE RETURN TO MADISON SQUARE GARDEN for the 3rd period of tonight’s game.

 

[nsvoyageurs]

What


signing him killed the rebuild imo

They half-assed the rebuild. Signing Panarin was dumb at that time; they weren't 1 piece away from beocming a Stanley Cup contender. They should've stayed the course with the rebuild and not try to accelerate it. There may have been "business" reasons for accelerating it, but hockey wise, it didn't make any sense (and thought so at the time).

 

[TheDirtyH]

Mika needs someone or something to wake him the f*** up

Agreed, he has to be too passive when he's with 10 or 88. Kakko at least gives him coverage and support. Plus the kid is clearly on it right now. One of the only players to show up tonight.

 

[DialUp]

No. We'll win the next game away. The real question is if/when we can win one at home.

Yea maybe we win the next one, but it isn't *likely* to win the series anymore. It wasn't even likely we were going to win games 1 and 2 so anything can happen.

 

[nevesis]

The Devils have had TWO 5 on 5 goals in the last 2 games and some of you are acting like they are dominating. Get a clue.

No one in here is talking about how good the Devils have been, we’re talking about how absolutely pathetic, anemic and impotent WE look.

 

[Leonardo87]

I had disgusting Founders IPA. We’re losing and I hate what I drank a lot of. Terrible night so far.

Ugh, you should try and get some local brews. They have Grimm over in Brooklyn, good stuff, That’s why I usually go to Haymaker, they have like 30-40 craft beers on tap and cans.

 

[DuneGoon84]

If you combine Kakko’s 4 seasons he’s only 1 point shy of Hughe’s 22/23 season!

Rangers curse lives on bro. We can't seem to draft elite players even if it was handed to us on a silver platter.

 

[DanielBrassard]

This team isn't winning anything until they figure out how to play better at 5v5. That doesn't seem like it's going to happen with this core.

 

[Machinehead]

we should def explore trading krappo and laughable laf. miller sucks too but nobody wants to say it for some reason. still laughing at the idea that he would steal Norris votes from fox

Fox literally gets more criticism on here.

 

[Graves97]

Devils are doing to the rangers what we did in the first 2 games. Clogging the NZ. Problem is this team lacks the speed and intensity to break it. Kreider, panarin, kane, laf, and trochek have done nothing on the fore check.

Back to the lottery till we get a Hughes then
