GDT: ECQF Game 5 - New York Rangers vs Pittsburgh Penguins - 7pm EST - MSG, ESPN - Series (Pit 3-1)

[bl02]

People complained about AV lol. At least they showed heart against Ottawa and that was after 4-5 years on the job

 

[CommaSynapse]

Shesterkin has been painfully average this whole series.

Can’t blame him when the skaters allow 3 shots with no challenge.

 

[LeetchisGod]

That’s not Igor’s fault. Just bad luck there.

The team does not look great right now. Something is very wrong.

No leadership at all.

 

[DuneGoon84]

That Pittsburgh top line is ALEAYS crashing the net. That's how they generate multiple chances. We simply let them punk us

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Turns out Brassard was a better player after all.

 

[CLW]

Backhand pass the full width of the rink. Panarin's not playing hurt, he's just playing lobotomized in the brain

Panarin and Zib and Trouba have been completely brainless so far in this game

 

[NYRFANMANI]

We was never ready, not like this.

Good thing we kinda suck at drafting, so the picks aren't missed much. Hope we can recoup some at the draft for our rfas.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Zibanejad was way too weak on Rust. Unacceptable.

 

[EdJovanovski]

There has to be some sort of Vegan Out-Clause in Zibanejad’s contract. A player making such a drastic change to their diet should not be allowed

 

[Allan92]

That goal is a microcosm of the entire series

 

[Lays]

Whoever is at MSG tonight someone start a “move your feet” chant

Or start booing..

 

[Row I Goon]

Said it yesterday, you can be focused on Crosby and Guentzel will sneak up and kill you. The pricks done damage to us every game.

 

[bleedblue94]

Zibanejad I’m really starting to turn on. If I’m Gallant I’m splitting up him and Kreider and sending a message

What message do you expect to send at this point?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

At any given time on that series, there were at LEAST three Penguins open at all times.

And people are blaming the f***ing goalie, there. Jesus the nerve of some of you.

 

[bl02]

Turns out Brassard was a better player after all.

In big games not even close

 

[Kovalev27]

Why is their star player open enough in that area to get 3 shots off is the real question

You can’t tackle him. The first shot hits the goalie square in the stomach from the side boards.

 

[rangersfansince08]

getting outshot as per usual. good. just lose and let the misery end

 

[duhmetreE]

Can we renege the Zibs contract?

 

[Kane One]

Anyone blaming Igor for that is doing hardcore intravenous drugs.

It was obviously bad defense too, but Igor clearly had no idea where the puck was after the save directly before the goal. This has been a problem all playoffs.

 

[will1066]

As a team, they've been awful tracking rebound pucks. Maybe it's nerves or something

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Look how calm Domingue is compared to the panicking Shesterkin.

 

[Siddi]

Igor lost his net completely. Also bad rebound. control.

 

[Bob Richards]

Zibanejad just taking a scenic route all around the defensive zone lol

 

[Rsswmu]

Forwards playing 0 d there 4 penguins in the shot 2 Rangers

 

[Langdon Alger]

I notice our center is nowhere in the picture. Just uncontested rebounds again. This game is over.

Leafs were down by 2 after a period last night, and won. You guys are down by 1 with 9 minutes left in the first. It ain’t over.
