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

[Graves97]

Debbies know we’re terrible at exiting the zone with any speed and are throwing everything they have on the forecheck. Need a few to slip through for some 2 on 1s

 

[SeanAveryTheGreatOne]

You just know Gallant is in the locker room right now talking about how he's happy with their "compete level"

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

On the positive side. If we had a period like the Devils had and it was 0-0 we'd probably not be happy.

I’m stunned that you’re positive about this lol.

 

[Occidentalist]

Rangers dominated that period. Devils were lucky to get out with a tie.

 

[The Undertaker]

It's a miracle the score is 0-0. I know it's popular among NYR fans to blame the star forwards every year (and they aren't playing well at all) but winning a cup with this defense will be a tough task. It's Fox and 5 bottom pair guys.

 

[Kravtsov420]

Also.. is our f***ing system just passing it down low and then back up to the D-men to pass it right the f*** down low and then back to the D-men and then back down low for an eventual turnover?? IS THIS ALL WE HAVE?

*gallant drools*

 

[duhmetreE]

We start the game on a 2 on 1 and Zibs flubs it.

Someone needs to step up.

 

[irishlaxburger2]

waste a whole minute on the PP to setup Zibs for 1 shot where he never can label it.

This is the problem with that PP set. It becomes a one trick pony.

They clearly weren’t as comfortable with the other set, but at least it came with different ways to score goals.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

On the positive side. If we had a period like the Devils had and it was 0-0 we'd probably not be happy.

Rangers would be gassed and exhausted for the 2nd...likely for the whole game.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

I DONT KNOW HOW WERE GONNA f***ING DO IT. BUT THE PUCK WILL BOUNCE OUR WAY THESE PLAYOFFS AND WE WILL WIN THE f***ING CUP. I FEEL IT IN MY BONES. WE ARE GOING TO WIN THIS f***ING GAME AND ADVANCE.

Fox has been average.

That's what happens when you have the worst skating defense in the entire NHL who have no lateral mobility to open up different lanes.

 

[huerter]

Right to left PP, left handed stick in the bumper. It's self sabotage.

 

[17futurecap]

We had 0.19 xG at 5v5. Is that good?

We didn’t get a high danger chance on the pp, which might be worse.

 

[nevesis]

Kane and Panarin make over $21 m this year. They both look like 18 year old prom queen bambis in slippery ice. Nerves? Wake the *uck up Big Boyz...

Kane has an excuse. He’s older and playing with a hip that needs to be surgically repaired.

Panarin has no f***ing excuse.

 

[B17 Apricots]

We need a little Chytil magic. Kids been way too quiet this series. Hasn't really hurt us but hasn't made much of an impact either

 

[Kords]

Don't score with 3 PP's in the 1st. If they lose, that's why.

 

[will1066]

It's a miracle we got out of that period unscathed. Thank you, Hockey Gods.

Yes. Thank the gods

 

[ajdj10]

"Keep playing with speed" that's a good one.

 

[kittenmittons]

Keep playing with speed Mott says

 

[Nyr88nyg]

Panarin is a f***ing embarrassment. Highest paid player on the ice is the worst skater on the ice. Fire him into the f***ing sun

 

[Harbour Dog]

Panarin's 5v5 ineptitude wouldn't be as crippling if he was still creating high danger chances at any strength.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Can someone GIF that Hughes fail please that shit was hysterical.

 

[Gordon Bombay]

Can someone GIF that Hughes fail please that shit was hysterical.

Add his temper tantrum to it too

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Happy we got out of that period tied. That's not great considering we had three powerplays.
