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

[Priorae]

Again, by the standings. This is exactly what should have happened. What's everyone's thoughts on that?

 

[I Eat Crow]

The Rangers just need to do....something. Like ludicrously crazy like putting Othmann on the next flight to New York or throwing our own giant goalie in for Game 6.

The Devils introduced Schmid and threw the Rangers totally off. They need to reverese Uno this shit.

 

[Jauffre]

It's easy to look like you're not trying when you're getting whacked.

Energy levels should be higher for sure, but it's also the discrepancy in speed & playstyle that's making it look worse than it is (effort wise).

 

[Kovalev27]

This game realistically should be 6-0

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

I gave mine up before last season and have never been happier. Full seasons are a terrible investment and tons of admin work.

I feel like an idiot because if I had f*** you money the 4th or 5th thing I'd do is buy season tickets.

 

[RUNYR]

Up 2-0 and this how they play the last three games. I still think the effort was poor in G3. Three straight games just getting completely outplayed and zero motivation and adjustments.

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

So we "ruined" them. I don't know. That's a tough argument.

They need to work on their skating. Either Ciaccio should help them, or he shouldn't come back next yseason.

 

[Row I Goon]

3 players attended the morning skate btw. Had yesterday off too.

Country club

They'll be getting their golf clubs out soon enough.....

 

[CasusBelli]

Painful decade to follow lads. Hopefully we face the music asap and not delay the inevitable in vain.

 

[savebyrichter94]

Never thought I’d say this but STFU Sam lol

 

[CLW]

I really have no idea who would take Panarin with that contract after seeing how he is a no show these last two years in the playoffs. however, he needs to go.

Some team that thinks he can make them a bubble team and get the fans hope up of seeing playoffs. In other words Dolan logic.

 

[gabevh3]

Its not just a coaching issue,its also a players issue.

Which goes back to coaching issue lol the right coach would bench or scratch players then.

 

[Kords]

Can't wait to see Vesey drop em with Palat with 2 minutes left. Gotta send a message.

 

[will1066]

Ironically, I think Panarin could work in a heavy setup, scoring off of butts and adding a wrinkle that makes us not one-dimensional.

If anything, building the system around his cross-ice game when nobody else succeeds at that 5v5...well, it looks like this.

And for the sake of not being one-dimensional, I still think we need one burner that can go in and get it when all else fails. We never replaced the Hagelin/Pouliot role.

I would hand the keys to Laf, Kakko, and Chytil next season and any vets left will be support. Reverse the axis of power. As much as our kids suck, they need to be given the chance

I feel like an idiot because if I had f*** you money the 4th or 5th thing I'd do is buy season tickets.

You could do it with f*** you money because just the interest from your wealth would subsidize your whole lifestyle.

Still, the experience on TV is now close enough that I appreciate watching from home without pants rather than dealing with all the crap of going to the arena a couple of times a week.

 

[I Eat Crow]

So f***ing snakebitten lol

 

[DuneGoon84]

Which goes back to coaching issue lol the right coach would bench or scratch players then.

It always comes down to coaching.

 

[savebyrichter94]

Panarin decided I can’t do anything else I’ll just jump on everyone lmao

 

[RangersFan]

Talk about zero puck luck. JFC this weeb has a force field.

 

[Jauffre]

Panarin pretended to be a puck and score a goal with himself

 

[NewLife]

lol @panarin

 

[LieutenantLackluster]

I am thoroughly embarrassed

 

[qwertyaas]

Can we get another shot of Mika and Panarin sulking on the bench?

 

[will1066]

This doesn't bode well for Game 6. Schmid is in their heads

 

[ajdj10]

We ain't scoring again this playoffs....
