GDT: ECQF - Game 5 - New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils , 7:30 EST, MSG, ESPN2

[Saitama]

I'm holding out hope that at least a few players are embarrassed by this effort and spend the next couple of days reflecting on it. Not much hope, but some at least.

 

[RangerLifer]

Safe to say the "No Quit In NY" hashtag and references are officially null and void at this point.

It's laughable now.

 

[CLW]

Youre insane to think dolan keeps a coach who blows a 2-0 lead to the DEVILS in the first round

I'm not the one saying it.

 

[NCRanger]

What's Keenan up to these days lol

Coaching the Italian national team.

 

[Boris Zubov]

I truly still believe the floodgates can open if we get one.

but with how we're passing, shooting and avoiding the middle of the ice, it's really, really hard to envision.

Well you might be correct, but these guys are trying their hardest to avoid making life hard for this kid at all. Every single shot is from tough angles & are one & done. Schmid has barely broken a sweat.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

It's laughable now.

Some quit in NY

 

[Machinehead]

Even if we picked high, we'd just draft a bum anyway

We'd almost certainly draft somebody with questionable skating and then drill into his head that his only priority is never turning the puck over.

 

[RangersFan]

So who we want for HC? Laviolette maybe?

 

[Dijock94]

Cant. The entire team has NMC’s

Bench guys with NMCs if they won’t accept a trade I don’t care. These guys just don’t have it.

 

[ajdj10]

I think it might be a bit beyond Igor to score at least 4 goals himself to win this game......

 

[LokiDog]

As others have said, I can’t turn my back on the team I was raised on and I’ll always be a Rangers fan, but this team is honestly just not likable. Not like individually but collectively, it’s a one note, boring, mentally and physically soft team that doesn’t have a ton of redeeming qualities. A few. But not a ton.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

No Quit in New York

 

[Priorae]

Henrik's right. Fox should have let that go. Devils played that period perfectly. They really did. Took advantage of opportunities and then played patient.

If the rangers can't figure out this blue line, 3 man stop, they're doomed. Its not hard, they need a good carry (which they have in 10) or a really good forecheck (meh).

 

[mrmovies779]

I don't even care,I have the Knicks to root for.This isn't too surprising either,our top 6 has been invisible the entire series.The team goes as it goes.Drury has his work cut out this offseason,we need puck moving dmen in the worst way.Need to get bread and Goodrows cap hits off the books to

 

[Rempe73]

I for one would love an extended rebuild. No pressure, fun and loose hockey, no overrated millionaires, and the payoff will be worth it with a Cup (although knowing this organization, idk about that last part).

 

[Circus86]

Can someone send this to GG

 

[will1066]

We're not scoring in this game. Reset for Game 6, do or die, it's at home and the score starts again at 0-0. This one is gone. They're under so much pressure right now, they're not even gonna hit an open net

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Gotta pray for a 2-3-2 series.

Crazier things have happened.

Like a 5th round unknown rookie goalie with double hip surgery posting a 98% save percentage over 8.5 periods i his first playoff appearances

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Time to go play as a 6’9 enforcer on drop in in CHEL and name myself Devils fans drink Bud Light

 

[Crease]

They’re about to save me the trouble of subscribing to a streaming service with TNT/TBS.

 

[The Gloaming]

Wow. Schmid is so good. Amazing. Literally prime hasek. He will definitely get a shutout. Shutout. Shutout. He is going to shut the door in the third and there will be no way for the Rangers to score 3 goals to come back. Schmid is the best goalie since Hasek. Shutout.

 

[savebyrichter94]

So, just keep posting every single thought that keeps popping in your heads? No wonder there's a new page created every 15 seconds.

As much as I hate to say it, I gotta give credit to the Devils defense and goaltending. They made changes and Rangers don't have an answer.

Yes, the Rangers need to play better. This isn't on Igor, you can't win without scoring. Start smashing people, crash the net and move. So many players waiting and being tentative.

Yea that’s what the boards here for, who are you? The post police? Shut it

 

[Kravtsov420]

i havent been this upset with the organization since we lost in 2014.

 

[Jauffre]

There is no way Gallant stays if they blow this.

When Tampa won 4 straight, it was Tampa's experience to our inexperience. This Devils team is probably the most unexperienced team in the playoffs, - yet here we are, about to get reverse swept again. Gentlemen's swept after Lindy Ruff adjusts, and Gallant once again does not adjust.

He's as good as gone, they'll try someone else with this roster.

 

[Daves a mess]

Sams "and this one will last a lifetime..." really f***ed those of us who witnessed '94. Didn't realize at the time my 1 cup would come when I was 12.

I came out of a bar in Farmingdale NY after game 7 and hearing Sam's call. I was piss drunk, but even then knew that those words would ring true for the duration of my life. Absolutely positive of it.

And I wasn't even 30 yet.
