GDT: ECQF - Game 7 - New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils, 8pm EST - MSG, ESPN (Series Tied 3-3) Do or Die, again.

[DialUp]

We all know what it comes down to: puck luck and the Devils shitting the bed. Straight up, we can't outskate the team, and if we don't attack the middle and shoot at a high enough volume, we won't make up for our lack of whatever it is that we lack. Aside from game 5, Rangers defense has been pretty good in terms of defending against goals, so that needs to hold. I would be confident we can hold a lead late, just gotta get that lead. Throw pucks to the net.

Legacy game for Artemi Panarin?

 

[Filip Chytil]

Honestly, I don't think anything that could happen in our game tomorrow would qualify as a stunner like we saw in the games tonight.

Lafreniere scoring 4 goals tonight would be the most shocking thing in sports in the last 50 years

Lafreniere scoring 2 goals would be more surprising than what happened to Boston

I'm still sticking with my hat trick for Panarin and Igor.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Looking like the devils will be going back to Vanecek tonight.

Shit at this point I’ll settle for a shot on goal.

 

[Cmox]

[Machinehead]

Ruff is over-coaching this series to the point where Gorton Ramsay is screaming at him over how chewy it is.

I expect them to show up. I also expect the Devils to show up. Should be an anxiety riddled one. Igor, win it for us!

[Taluss]

Not sure why you go back to Vanecek

 

[Fitzy]

Not sure why you go back to Vanecek

It's either stupidity or head games.

Its worked for the most part.

Going with Schmid in Game 3 completely changed the complexion of the series, whether it was a shot in the dark or not

 

[Filip Chytil]

 

[Taluss]

Isn’t it first goalie off the ice that matters? Didn’t realize first on did

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Not sure why you go back to Vanecek

You never saw Akira?

SOB takes a pounding and then gets so strong that he turns into a mutanous blob that wipes out everything.

Plus, NYC isn't too far from Newark.

THINK!

 

[Taluss]

Damn

 

[Machinehead]

Its worked for the most part.

This series is over in 5 if not 4 if Ruff would stop telling his team to go out and hit everything that moves.

It's not their game. It's our game.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Damn

Damn?

He sucks lol. Don't let the Rangers ineptitude fool you.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

I felt like he would go back to Vanacek, hes gotten them there, he is their starter and earned this opportunity.

With Schmid, his glove was exposed and you could see how that could be an issue going forward. Although Ruff will be heavily second-guessed if this move backfires on him.

Vanacek gave up 12 on home ice, so hopefully that carries over. Honestly I'd love to get 3. I think that will be enough for Igor.

God im nervous

EDIT. OK its Schmid now lol
