What is Trouba defending there.

 

[Guyute]

TROUBA there’s a hockey game being played wtf are you doing man

 

[LeetchisGod]

First true stinker of the playoffs. We were due for one.

 

[Machinehead]

His center and wing both left him out to dry. Gus had one man, Trouba had THREE, lol. Behind the net and two in front.

Trocheck and (I think?) Panarin were just skating around doing nothing.

I can tell you played defense.

Trouba could pull out a machete and decapitate Igor and you would like "where was Panarin?!!"

 

[RangerLifer]

Trouba is getting absolutely undressed this game. On the ice for all 3 goals

I want Zac Jones next game.

 

[hardnosed]

Gus and Trouba are a horrible pair. They don't compliment each other. Trouba is too slow to get to the open guy and Gus doesn't have the awareness to recognize who the dangerous guy is.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Lavi fail this game

 

[FultonReed]

this isn't the game to panic. that said, Trouba is brutal. gotta tighten up, at least play like you're trying to finish a series

 

[Boom Quack]

Thank god this period is ending soon

 

[Brother Mouzone]

Trouba has been horrible , this team can overcome a 2 goal lead ...Get out of this period and regroup .Rangers need the next goal .

 

[MysticLeviathan]

Don't really think that was on Trouba

he didn’t do anything that play. he just stood there and allowed his man to score

 

[nevesis]

Pull Igor. Put in Quick.


Rangers aren't ready for this game.


Rangers conditioning needs to improve.

I’d do that if they score another quick one.

They definitely were not ready for this game, but I don’t think conditioning is an issue.

You knew the Canes were going to come hard, but we aren’t matching that. No excuse for this bullshit. You knew ahead of time this is how they would be.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Captain Cone once again observing the goal from 2 feet in

He was asked to cover 3 guys. I have no problem blaming him when he sucks ass (like the second goal).

Trocheck left his man completely and I have no clue what Panarin was doing.

Gus had the his man.

Panarin literally stood there and watched the play unfold.

Same with Trocheck. Why are people blaming Trouba on this when the center and one winger both left their men completely uncovered!?

Yeah, Trouba sucks, but he's gonna suck even worse when his teammates don't do anything.

 

[Kovalev27]

This third pair is a joke tonight.

Stop with the 11-7 even strength bullshit when 2 of the goals are 6 on 5

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

Gus is gone next season for sure for Jones who played himself into a full time spot next season.

The question is do you try Jones for Gus next game

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

Pull Igor. I'd rest him. He has started 7 in a row, he needs a break. Quick is good enough to keep Rangers in it.

Hes played 7 games in like the past month. Hes well rested

 

[Siddi]

Trocheck and Panarin are no Mika and Kreider in the defensive zone.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

His center and wing both left him out to dry. Gus had one man, Trouba had THREE, lol. Behind the net and two in front.

Trocheck and (I think?) Panarin were just skating around doing nothing.

The wingers aren’t responsible for coming down low to defend.

 

[Levitate]

Rangers just overthinking shit today. Look like they’re in their heads about the winning streak

 

[RangersFan1994]

First true stinker of the playoffs. We were due for one.

This could snowball. They are not mentally and physically prepared for this.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Total defensive breakdown, Panarin isn’t a center but after he misses that rim he’s gotta stay low.

 

[Chytilmania]

All the talk is about Trouba but Gustafson has been useless since like the first week of the regular season.

Both are undisciplined. Should put Jones out there and tell Trouba to wait in the defensive zone.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

this is a moral victory game for Canes. they can celebrate not getting swept

 

[GENESISPuck94]

So, Rempe was taken out of the lineup because he wasn't "trustworthy" which is a crock.

Why is Gustafson playing? Jones is a far better player. Far better.

Is Gus coming out next game after this trash showing today?

 

[CasusBelli]

changed my mind, not winning this

Yep. And careful if this doesn’t go to six games. Canes will feed off this if we’re not careful. Need to put on a hell of a showing at MSG if we lose this one.
