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

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

I felt that after Lafs goal in game 4, not only did the crowd die, but also the Canes legs. They were ripe for picking until Lindgren took that penalty.

Keep it tight, keep it close, or open up a lead... Scoring 3 tonight will get you a win or a shot in OT. Scoring 4 will win the series.

It would behoove the Rangers to score first tonight

Yeah, I said in the PGT that the loss was extra frustrating bc after Laf tied the game the building sounded like it was empty and Carolina basically had nothing on the ice, they seemed like they were defeated and kind of just biding their time until they lost. Never seemed to have any momentum at all.

Then we have an offensive zone faceoff, they flip the puck up high, Lindgren misplays it and takes a dumb penalty. They score and "fix" their PP and win the game.

Just felt like a game we were in control of and weren't going to lose but then we gifted them the win. Oh well, come out tonight and get an early lead and get that same energy out of Carolina early.

 

[Uglybstrd]

We have last change now. Lav gonna shelter Trouba-boy. Pity Chytil cant go (is it 100 % sure he`s unavailable?).

 

[will1066]

Listen, Mean Gene, I'm just about sick and tired of all the talk about whether I'm gonna show up tonight at Madison Square Garden. Filip Chytil this and Filip Chytil that. What's going on with Filip Chytil? Well, brother, I'll be in uniform at MSG, the world's greatest arena, when I take down Sebastian Aho and those Hurricanes. You know, just when you feel at your lowest is when you look up to the sky and talk to the man upstairs and you rest up, take your vitamins and say your prayers, man. And I have all my Chytilmaniacs rallying behind me and wishing me well. And that's when you say, this is more than about just me. This is for all my Chytilmaniacs. And that's when you get up and off the mat and you tell the world that nothing can stop Chytilmania. So I will be there tonight, brother. And Hurricanes, what you gonna do when these 26-inch pythons run wild on you!

 

[Brutananadilewski]

With Rempe back in the line-up, we can comfortably sit on a 3, 5, 10 goal lead in the 1st.

 

[JimmyG89]

I get it if Chytil is not ready to go, but selfishly would be absolutely electric if he opens the night and is in the starting lineup. They'll need to reinforce the Garden to make sure it doesn't come down.

He's the 3rd longest tenured Rangers player behind Kreider and Zibanejad. We love the young guys that have been brought in, but he was the first. He deserves that moment for working this hard to get back.

To be fair, they gifted us game three with the short handed goal and misplaying the puck in OT. It's been a series decided by mistakes in large part.

Lindgren gifted them that one, but we've made fewer mistakes overall in games 1-3. Game 4 was our worst game of the series even with the momentum in periods 2 and 3 on our side.

 

[huerter]

We need to dummy them just like Lav dummied Vinny Mercogs this morning. Just merciless.

 

[Peltz]

For the record, if Chytil isn't playing, I trust Lavi to play Rempe or Brodz. We can win with either guy.

I would like to see Rempe stomp Anthony "I'll fight any one of you" DeAngelo and generally just make Carolina wilt.

 

[Machinehead]

Is this in reference to Hunwick playing 4:17 against Tampa in 2015?

That's 4:17 more than I remember him playing.

 

[Synergy27]

I would hope he feels this way. I don’t think there are many coaches in the league that would have given him the opportunities he’s gotten. I’m fine with him being in the lineup tonight if and only if Chytil is a no go.

 

[Machinehead]

I'm not surprised it's positive.

I think the only reason Rempe gets stapled to the bench is that they're going to call a penalty any time he looks at somebody.

I wouldn't have a problem with him being in there if we were able to give him a regular shift.

Yep, all the consternation over, for what essentially is, the rear backup camera on the 2024 vehicle that is the NYR.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Apparently hockey reference remembers.

 

[Machinehead]

They remember everything.

Unless Messier gets to the scorer's table and tells them otherwise. Then they remember what Mess said.

If you can't parallel park without the help of the backup camera, I don't want to talk to you.

 

[Machinehead]

The more the day goes on, the more I feel confident that we win. But I'm not 100% sure. Sometimes you just know. I would have bet the house on game 3. It was just a feeling.

 

[romba]

In the O zone the Rempinator's job is to attack defenders with his forecheck, go to the front of the net, and occasionally goes back down low to play the cycle. Simple things and he does them pretty well. It's his subpar agility and acceleration that can really be a hinderance in the D zone especially when the opposition gets a cycle going. Straightaway speed doesn't do much in the D zone. Even when he makes the right reads (hit or miss on that) on who to cover, he just can't pivot and get there in time to make a play- which would be the main reason he barely plays. He really needs to work on that in the off season, but it will also come naturally as he grows into his huge frame.

 

[JCProdigy]

If you can't parallel park without the help of the backup camera, I don't want to talk to you.

And if these Rangers can't win without either Rempe or Brodzinski in the lineup then?

....Tob deletes his account.

....Tob deletes his account.

He's been really busy lamenting Edmonton's goaltending situation and wanting Florida and Boston to pillage each other for seven 3OT games.

He's really belligerent.

 

[NYR94]

Rod’s #1 secret weapon is the last change.

Can’t lose to these dorks at home .

Need to minimize the damage done by Gus-Trouba by using last change to keep them away from Guentzel, Aho and Svechnikov as much as possible. Carolina's road record in the playoffs under Brind'Amour is not good the last 3 years or so. Just not the same team on the road.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Wait, so Chytil is out. Illness related or because they want to get Rempe in there?

he's obviously still battling concussion residuals.
