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

[SnowblindNYR]

That was the quietest 11 shots on goal I've ever seen.

 

[bouds]

Reaves with Z, that’s how f***ed we are.

 

[Doctyl]

This game sounds boring

It looks worse

 

[Kakko]

Pens saw how this team plays against the Canes. No answer to getting pressured in their own zone. Except the opponent doesn't even have to be good at it. They fall apart under a slight breeze.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

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

Honestly, best thing about this whole series is how they've performed.

 

[mrhockey193195]

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.

My bet is he's injured more than let on after the Carter hit. He was great in games 1 and 2.

 

[Bob Richards]

Also, its crazy how after Game 4 (which I confidently say is the WORST playoff game I've ever seen from the NYR) that this is how they open the next game lmao.

 

[TGWL]

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

Best part was they stayed down and looked at the ref.

 

[bl02]

Bad period do better next period.
Domingue enjoyed a sandwich and coffee that period

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Let me tell you about a man/. He could do everything but when it came to fnishing...It was about the only thing he couldnt do. His name... is Filip CHytl

 

[Cmox]

Reaves with Z, that’s how f***ed we are.

Haha, its 7 d.

 

[Atax]

Start the 3rd line in the second and skip the first lines first shift. Don’t care that we’re short a forward. Soft and useless this game.

 

[mas0764]

I hope vatrano is able to stay here and backfill as a 3rd line rw. He is a great guy for that spot who can play up when needed on a proper roster.

We can’t afford a second line center and Vatrano unless we trade Trouba or Kreider.

 

[duhmetreE]

Something had to happen. How are all our veterans dogshit all of a sudden?

 

[NYRFANMANI]

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

That camp still exists? Sheesh

 

[Lays]

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

Schneider is the last player to go after. Kids a rookie with a handful of games in the NHL. He’s been more than fine

 

[will1066]

You can tell Sam and Joe are salty and biting their tongues

 

[Leonardo87]

Somebody get Mika a Cheeseburger!!!!!!!

 

[Bluto]

Its him or Nemeth/Hajek. I'll take Schneider.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Get Spezza in the room to give the boys a pep talk.

 

[Boris Zubov]

The Rangers compete level is just not good enough.

Fixed.

 

[BlueShirtGal]

FFS what happened to this team?!

 

[NickyFotiu]

Reaves with Z, that’s how f***ed we are.

They are giving Laf extra shifts. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Igor DOES need to be better. But his team has literally set him up for failure.

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.

You seem to be the only person that remembers that. Most people think it was an amazing series for Hank because of game 4.

They're so used to the refs helping them out.
