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

[Hunter Gathers]

Wait, wait, wait. Blake MAY come back next series, then!?

Theoretically even this series, I guess. Sheesh.

We knew this wasn’t going to be a sweep. All these games are close but today is the day we close it out on home ice. We win together! Take the body, play structured defense, get to loose pucks, play as a team and let’s take this game and this series.

All positive vibes here!

Let’s go Rangers!

I love you all

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Based cap circumvention.

(NHL proceeds to strip us of 5 first round picks)

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

We all need to chant, holy shit, holy shit…. lol it’s like we are at wrestle mania

 

[will1066]

Is Chytil in full-contact jersey? Kumite? Full contact?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I love HFDocs.

To be fair, every reason to feel uneasy with Chytil. He’s gonna get an enormous pop from the crowd if he does go tonight.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Wait, wait, wait. Blake MAY come back next series, then!?

It's interesting because I could've sworn @will1066 girl said in one of these games that the Rangers don't expect him back this year. Can't remember if that was last game or Game 3.

Girl, you know it's true.

Makes me wonder if this is the Rangers playing mental games with the Hurricanes.

He wouldn't be practicing if it were Post Concussion Syndrome coming back.

He's probably just actually sick.

Something nasty has been going around the area. I don't even know what it is, exactly, but people have been disappearing from work for entire weeks.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

REALLY need to win this one tonight. A strong start and not letting Carolina build off the confidence they gained in game 4 will be good.

 

[Fitzy]

I see Wheeler as a potential upgrade over Brod/Rempe but no one else in our current forward allotment.

So if Chytil is ever good to go, I wouldn't really have a use for him besides good locker room vibes. But there are always injuries and other complications.

 

[TominNC]

So much negativity and worry from a fanbase that's up 3-1. What the team did in the past isn't what this team is going to do. This team will go out, play hard and score when needed. The game may be close but the Rangers will win. Or they'll win the next one.

No one said they were the 80s Oilers. Expecting sweeps against good teams is asking a lot. Getting all worried and all about losing 1 of 8 playoff games is kinda crazy.

Reading Chytil and Wheeler on the ice, and then seeing Brod taking the line rush.

Win or i'm becoming a Panthers fan.

BLASPHEMER!!!!!!

 

[Machinehead]

10,019-0 NYR

Rempe (10,002)
Panarin (16)
Kakko (1)

Math is correct for a change.

 

[Mike in Houston]

The Rangers took care of business against the Caps last series, didn't they? Granted, the Caps are/were a terrible team, but point remains.

Exactly. They blew the two 2-0 leads against way better teams. The Caps didn't belong in the playoffs so they don't count.

 

[DialUp]

Thrilled he's well enough to be back. Really holding onto the hope they are doing the right thing with him.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Hopefully it's just a ruse as I cannot stand watching Brodz play.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

IIRC Chytil didn’t take rushes with his line the morning of game 3 either.

He took part in warmups and everyone was like wtf!?!

yes. i wonder if they're having him save energy on game days since he's probably not in game shape yet.

Vince: "Chytil is alive."

Us:

Vince: "That's it, he's just alive."
