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

[mas0764]

Rangers are gonna sign Jake Guentzel to 10 years 100 mill when he hit UFA.

And he’ll never do anything again.

 

[Brother Mouzone]

Can’t win a face off in the offensive zone to save our lives

Can't win a face off anywhere TBH ......

 

[CLW]

The kids try

 

[EdJovanovski]

The vets should be humiliated by how much the kid line is outplaying them.

 

[I Eat Crow]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Daves a mess]

Does Pitt not take penalties because we are ass, or because the refs still wearing yellow and black undies?

 

[CommaSynapse]

Something is off with Shesty, for sure, whether it's something physical or mental, but he's not a guy to really get rattled, so I don't know.

He's not getting clean seals on the sides of the net. He's coming across sloppy, and he's over-committing at times. He looks more like he's playing the chaotic style Sorokin played in the KHL.

 

[nevesis]

Kreider’s compete level is just not good enough.

 

[Bob Richards]

Honestly Igor could be playing like December Igor and I don't think it'd matter because the last 4 periods have been the worst the team has played all year lol

 

[Cmox]

Atta boy key

 

[will1066]

Chytil consistently gets into the slot area. He gets it. I think next year he will truly break out

 

[mas0764]

We have a loser veteran group

We cut off the rebuild too early. We did not acquire enough young forwards. Especially centers.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

The fact we can’t win a f***ing face off is killing us

Same ole Problems. Signing copp should help. I really like lafs draus this year. No joke, just have him take the draw and move back to wing afterwards.

Im sure it's that easy, xD

Careful don't say that, the people convinced that faceoffs don't matter will whip out some stats or other bullshit to try to convince you they aren't important... Again

 

[Filip Chytil]

Trouba with Marc Staal esque accuracy

 

[Irishguy42]

Does Pitt not take penalties because we are ass, or because the refs still wearing yellow and black undies?

Pens are one of the least penalized teams over the regular season, so it's not necessarily a conspiracy...

 

[Langdon Alger]

No.

Gotta support the team

 

[Bluto]

Boo them off the ice.

 

[CLW]

the vets who shat on Laffy and Kaapo

 

[Raspewtin]

kid's line has to play more. the 1st line is not cutting it at all right now.

 

[Machinehead]

This game sounds boring

 

[RangerLifer]

Two Penguins fell down with no one near them. Thank goodness we didn't get another penalty.

 

[DudMan28]

It’s amazing how much longer of a leash you get when you’re big. Schneider has been so so bad and he just keeps getting chances

Nils would’ve been shipped back to Sweden if he was playing this bad

 

[Jauffre]

As opposed to all the people bashing Trouba and Zibenejad as good contributions?

Give me a break. Shesterkin is the best in the world. He has to be better. Your expectations are way too low of him.

Wipe the homer glasses and see it for what it is. You certainly criticized Henrik every chance you got, and last I checked he never lost to a 3rd string goalie.

Igor DOES need to be better. But his team has literally set him up for failure. He's pretty far down the list of people to blame for the series' loss.

A record breaking chances-for vs chances-against (high danger) in game 4.

And tonight, no urgency in the o-zone, still standing around in the d-zone (Zibanejad).. in an elimination game.

Put 2 prime Hasek's in our net at once in game 4, we still lose by a few goals. The team had a historically bad game.

Lundqvist was outplayed by a 20-year old Varlamov in 2009, like severely. Then outplayed by Michal f***ing Neuvirth in 2011.
