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

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

You get Igor out of a 2-0 hole and give him a 3-2 lead and they should be winning that game in that intermission.

Giving a goal 13 seconds after that outburst is jsut unacceptable.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Who said this? No one.

Everyone

 

[Filip Chytil]

We are witnessing the emergence of Lafreniere.

The arrival of the savior

 

[Fitzy]

Again this is bs. Do all hockey games in the KHL have no meaning? How about the Olympics?

He may just be having a bad stretch, and that it's in the playoffs is coincidental.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Blaming anyone besides Shesterkin right now is absolutely beyond belief.

If it weren’t for Shesterkin we’d be swept. He had 2 phenomenal games, historic even. 2nd most saves in NHL history, most in franchise history. Did anyone else have 2 games like that this series?

I don't give a shit about inferior leagues or the Olympics with inferior players.

 

[17futurecap]

The Rangers dominated that period and still gave up 2 goals, brutal, but at least they have it tied.

 

[GlasgowNewYorkRanger]

Okay, can't say that this hasn't been poor from Igor, some of tonight has been Georgiev level of Benny Hill.

Never f***ing dull this series, though, is it?

What a response. The third line is all world at the moment. That is seriously encouraging.

LFGR!

 

[RGY]

I don't know what you guys wanted Zib to do in that goal. Shesterkin made a babyshit soft pass right into his skates. Just a terrible play.

I WANT ZIBANEJAD TO BE A f***ING LEADER. WIN THE FACEOFF AFTER THE GOAL SO YOU CAN GET A PUCK DEEP AND KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING. HE f***ING SUCKS

 

[Bluto]

My wife came into yell at me because I've been screaming and throwing shit. SHOOT THE f***ING PUCK! I'm going to have to take her out for a real nice dinner tomorrow night to make up for this.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

3 goals, 5 goals, 4 goals, 2 goals and 3 goals going into the third. In the Lundqvist era we're probably on the verge of winning in 5.

It used to take halfway into round 2 to get that kind of goal support in the Lundqvist years.

 

[Kovalev27]

Zibanejad is the reason we’re losing this series and he’s the reason for that goal

Shesterkin put the puck into the slot on a penguins stick lol

 

[Rsswmu]

Zibs constantly leaves his man in the slot wide open to chase guys the d are already on

 

[NikC]

Sucksterskin is losing this game for them and this series. Jackass Gallant needed to play Geo this game!
You've been splitting duty all year with these 2... Shesterkin gets run out of the net 2x... you won't play Geo?
???
What kind of coaching is this?

 

[NYRFANMANI]

I haven't smoked weed in a month but I'm gonna get f***ing ripped after this game. I legit might have an aneurysm.

Like, already from the game, or later after getting ripped? xD

 

[Black Aces]

3 goals, 5 goals, 4 goals, 2 goals and 3 goals going into the third. In the Lundqvist era we're probably on the verge of winning in 5.

hank would feel spoiled with this goal support

 

[SnowblindNYR]

He may just be having a bad stretch, and that it's in the playoffs is coincidental.

He's been miserable since that Blues game. Absolutely miserable.

 

[Kords]

Igor has been bad. He is also the best goaltender in the league this season, period. He will learn from this and be better, he's not even in his prime yet. Chill guys, this is all part of the process.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

We have actually outscored Pitt with Georgie on the ice.

I said that should be considered after the first goal.

Perhaps you should put a call in to the Rangers and let them know that you could coach better than Gallant?

 

[Kane One]

I don't give a shit about inferior leagues or the Olympics with inferior players.

“I don’t care about anything that proves me wrong!”

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

G

If we lose to these bums without Crosby….

We turned Guentzel into Ovi.

This series is Pitt fan fiction.

Guntzel may look like scrub ass goober but he’s a 2 time 40 goal scorer. Very good player.

 

[Circus86]

To Igor:

 

[Fataldogg]

You get Igor out of a 2-0 hole and give him a 3-2 lead and they should be winning that game in that intermission.

Giving a goal 13 seconds after that outburst is jsut unacceptable.

It is what it is. I can't pile on him anymore beyond saying I'm disappointed. He doesn't have it this post season. Just hope for better next year.

But yes, blowing that lead that fast on that goal was exceptionally disappointing.

 

[haveandare]

Igor’s pro resume is more than long enough to know who he is and know the last few games are something weird and not just him falling apart. People just love to have their negative hot takes.

The kid line is killing it and Laf will be the captain of this team in time imo. He’s one of the only guys to give a shit all series. Kakko and Chytil have been excellent and so composed as well.

Lastly, Domingue sucks - the only thing is you need to actually put pucks on him.

 

[Kovalev27]

If it weren’t for Shesterkin we’d be swept. He had 2 phenomenal games, historic even. 2nd most saves in NHL history, most in franchise history. Did anyone else have 2 games like that this series?

And then he has played 3 of the worst games of his career to follow it up
