GDT: ECSF: Game 5 - New York Rangers vs Carolina Hurricanes, 7pm ET, ESPN

[Cmox]

Rangers are a later period team.

 

[Guyute]

Rangers need to find another level. Go back to basics. Dump, chase, forecheck, bang bodies. Cut the crap.

 

[Jauffre]

Could easily be down 3-0

 

[bumrusherer]

Good lord that period was poop

 

[Bob Richards]

I'm glad Igor looks sharp cause no one else does lol

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Carolina has adjusted to oir pp

 

[RangersFan1994]

Awful pp

 

[mike14]

Ugly hockey. At least we got out if it without giving one up, so still in it if they pull their heads out of their arses

 

[DuneGoon84]

This 4th line is not good. PP was abysmal.

 

[DanielBrassard]

A miracle to be tied after that shit. So sloppy from the opening faceoff, no neutral zone pressure, not making sound decisions with the puck.

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

2nd unit out there for “mop up duty” with 56 seconds left @Machinehead

 

[SnowblindNYR]

That last 5 minutes they looked NOTHING like the team they've been in the playoffs. Rush after rush against absolutely f***ing unacceptable.

 

[Leonardo87]

Rangers PP?

 

[bl02]

They were conserving energy for the 2nd and 3rd period right?
How many odd man rushes did they give up that period?

 

[will1066]

This should be an 0-2 deficit after 1 period

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Wennberg on the power play just gave me AIDS

 

[Machinehead]

2nd unit out there for “mop up duty” with 56 seconds left @Machinehead

Well in this case, the first unit couldn't enter the zone

 

[hardnosed]

When is Lav gonna realize the 2nd unit is worthless and make some changes?

We are talking about Wennberg being Jan Erixon like offensively, then why is he on the PP.

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

Would be a great time to swap Zibanejad for Laf on PP1. They can’t enter the zone

 

[CasusBelli]

Uhh. This is mildly concerning.

It was exactly what I was afraid of. Please make me eat crow. Pretty please.

 

[RangersFan1994]

No killer instinct. Pathetic effort. Lazy

 

[duhmetreE]

Kreider should be last resort for zone entries

 

[Captain Lindy]

In just about every game in this series, the worst period they play is the first. We get better as games go on and they do not. We got this.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Wennberg on the power play just gave me AIDS

dude offers less offensively than Bonino did

 

[Svenhart2008]

If our PP truly has gone cold, we’re doomed already anyway. It’s our main asset.
