On any other team he’s lucky to score 15. He’s a plug.

Lol shows what you know about hockey.

 

[Filip Chytil]

In all fairness to Igor, though, that tying goal was on Mika.

Lord Tofu

 

[NikC]

I really really hope Shesterkin is playing hurt. Because this is ridiculous hockey from him.

He's hurt mentally. He was chased out of the net 2x prior to tonight and he's ready to lose this game as well!

He's not ready to play all these games, and we've seen that all along. He's lost his composure and letting in easy shots.

Gallant is a jackass for not playing Georgiev tonight

 

[bl02]

Mika has done absolutely shit. Absolutely shit. Brooks was spot on

 

[PuckLuck3043]

This team was supposedly an offensive powerhouse. Get the f*** outta here. You're the one who kept insisting Panarin would be doing stuff.

Offensive powerhouse my ass. They were 16th in GF and 2nd in GA. The defense and goaltending has let them down. Igor was good the first 2 games but the last 3. Woof.

 

[Ginger Papa]

LaFreniere captain, Kakko and Miller get the A's and no one else matters.

This is the way.

Laf really seems to be growing up in front of our eyes this Series. Hopefully the intensity of the Playoffs is the furnace that he needed to forge into a star.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Play Laf on every single line. Only take him off the ice when his face turns from red to blue.

 

[Bluto]

Game plan for period 3:
Have 2 guys in front of the net at all time.
SHOOT THE f***ING PUCK.
No fancy zone entries. Walk in and RIP THE f***ING PUCK.
No fancy swivels with the puck on a zone entry. SHOOT THE f***ING PUCK.
When all else fails... SHOOT THE f***ING PUCK.

JUST SHOOT THE f***ING PUCK YOU f***ING f***S. I WANT TO SAY MORE f***ING BAD WORDS BUT I CANT, f***.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Miss those Hank era teams with Cally, Dubinsky, Girardi, Staal, McDonagh, Stepan, Brassard…

The talent was never there to go all the way but God they were so easy to cheer for. I consistently tell myself I hate this current team

You knew they had heart and would give it everything they had every night.

I'm sorry, but you can't bench your Vezina winner during an elimination game.

 

[Kords]

Ok I can finally watch some of these playoffs. Couldn’t earlier due to some personal reasons but man. How have Kakko, Lafreniere, and Miller looked this series? I heard the core somewhat disappointed thus far, so I hope those 3 guys are at least looking good.

And Igor man, is he just a choker or what?

Kakko, Laf and KAM are the silver lining. Chytil too to a degree.

 

[CLW]

Laf and Kakko have to play in the top six next season. Enough of the bullshit. If it moves Kreider down to the third line, so be it. He can still be on the first powerplay.

Hand on heart the kids don't really mesh with the vets, and the club is heavily invested in the vets. That's a real problem this club has.

Lol you can’t play Geo in an elimination game. That’s a fireable offense.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Lafreniere was MADE for the playoffs. And I absolutely knew he’d be electric during the playoffs. You see how much he steps up in big games. The Rangers better make him captain for next season.

You can’t start Georgiev unless Shesty is legitimately hurt. No f***ing coach would sit their vezina goalie. Zero.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Because it's the same absurd thing you said to me after I mentioned some of his poor coaching decisions. Similar to what you just did.

If you think you can than you should. I know I cant.

 

[DuneGoon84]

Even though zibanejad got 80 points this year, I feel he regressed. He is too soft and not as dynamic as he was couple of years ago.

 

[SoundAndFury]

What international tournament am I mixing it up with?

Idk, WC? Not like he did amazingly well there either.

I don't buy this "mental weakling" shit either but his previous career doesn't really provide a great refutation for it.

 

[Black Aces]

Mika has done absolutely shit. Absolutely shit. Brooks was spot on

what did brook say?

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Hand on heart the kids don't really mesh with the vets, and the club is heavily invested in the vets. That's a real problem this club has.

Kreider can be dealt. Mika should be as well.

 

[ETTER DE]

Lafreniere NEEDS to be playing his natural position in the top 6 next season. I don’t care how.

Panarin Zibanejad Kreider
Laf Chytil? Kakko
Goodrow Copp? ???

 

[Bob Richards]

Don't worry, friend. She's been dealing with this for a loooooooooong time. She knows she's gonna get a nice piece of jewlery and a fancy dinner at the end of the playoffs.

Currently ignoring my GFs texts because I'm busy scolding 21 men who play ice hockey on the internet.

I will never stop.

 

[Captain Monglobster]

Loud noises!!

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Oh okay then. I want prime hasek. I don’t get your point.

The point with our last goaltender this would be more than enough goal support.
