GDT: ECSF (Game 5) - New York Rangers @ Carolina Hurricanes - 7pm EST, ESPN - Series (Tied 2-2)

[RangerBlues]

Canes play is stiff

 

[CLW]

Crazy as it sounds. Still very winnable.

If we change something yes. It was a mistake to try and skate with Carolina because they are better in the neutral zone but here we are. None of the lines look good atm.

 

[LokiDog]

So… Zibanejad is our best player not named Igor. That’s not a debate. I don’t mean tonight. I mean overall. Kreider is a one trick pony who plays like he’s 5’10 in the playoffs. Panarin is a weenie who only wants to play his style of hockey.

 

[Brother Mouzone]

Only down 1 on the road still have a shot but they have to dig deep and make a hard push ..........If Bread could just show up and be beast for 1 period when this team needs him ...

 

[FoxyClean]

I have never been less confident about a comeback in my life.

Which means we probably win 4-2.

 

[Kravtsov420]

mental midgets
you had one job, and that wasn't to turtle
what do they do?? AM I TUUUUUURTLE ENOUGH FOR THE TUUUUUURTLE CLUB

 

[DuneGoon84]

Only having 10 shots through 2 periods is a f***ing joke

That's why vatrano is on the 1st line to shoot pucks, right? GG isn't handling the lines well.

 

[Synergy27]

I think he’s been great, but I wonder if he got to play against easier matchup if he’d get going offensively

You legitimately think Panarin has been “great”? This isn’t schtick?

 

[Brutananadilewski]

How does Carolina become the 2000 Devils at home and be so loose on the road?

It becomes a federal crime if you take Rod the Bod's stash across state lines.

 

[Go Rangers]

They're not doing a particularly good job managing the flow of the game. They're going to have to win tonight playing the Canes game. Not sure it's going to happen. But we've seen them pull out games like this before.

Just collapse into the slot, block shots, and frustrate Carolina.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Copp Ziba Motte (Dare carolina to put staal against them)
Bread Strome Vatrano
Kreider Chytil Laf
Throw Kaako on one of the top 9 every 3rd shift.

 

[duhmetreE]

Lafreniere should be getting TOP line minutes. By far one of our best and consistent forwards, right next to Zibs.

SWITCH SOMETHING

WAKE UP

 

[Boris Zubov]

What’s drury thinking about now?

Add team speed, hire a strength & conditioning coach, hire a skating coach. Pray Kakko isn't really this bad.

 

[RickChartraw]

need some puck luck me thinks, gotta shoot to get it.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Need to use Canes aggression against them. Chip the puck past them. They won’t give time for controlled passes.

If only it were that easy.

Adam Fox?

 

[Bob Richards]

Our worst game of the playoffs so far barring that porno in Pittsburgh

This game is really bad and makes me think of other bad playoff games I've seen this team play.

Game 4 against Pittsburgh made me consider selling all my possessions and confessing all of my sins before god

Happens to be playing injured.

Crazy as it sounds. Still very winnable.

This isn't much different aesthetically from Games 1 and 2.

 

[LokiDog]

Down 1. Game’s completely winnable. In fact, I think we win.

But we need to shoot the f***ing puck. If I looked like Gallant I’d be muttering something about “my ticker…” and clutching my chest while telling them to just shoot.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

If only it were that easy.

Be worth a try

Yes Laf and Zib are the only ones skating out there. Reward him.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

How does Carolina become the 2000 Devils at home and be so loose on the road?

Because they're the most smoke and mirrors team in NHL history. All they are is last change and pick plays. They're complete shit. When the only two things they're good at is taken away on the road they are exposed for the pile of steaming dog shit that they are (except for Aho, that guy can play).

 

[duhmetreE]

steal the game.

STL did it down 3.

We can do it. If only we had a Russian to lead the charge

 

[haveandare]

Panarin needs to simplify. Stop the curling back, the canes are counting on it and they’re usually right because he constantly does it. Cut the long passes in the neutral zone too for god sake, just attack the net and his hands and skill will make things happen
