GDT: ECSF: Game 6 - New York Rangers @ Carolina Hurricanes, 7pm ET, TNT

You have to think this group comes in and plays their balls off tonight. If they lay another egg we are toast in game 7.

The Canes flinched first with the goal tender switch, now our guys are flinching. Eek !

Kaapo

If they lose tonight then I will have zero confidence in them to win Game 7.

Same. I’m hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.

 

[Jack Hanson]

3 things in our favor: Panarin and Trocheck are due, Panarin only went pointless for 3 games 1 time this season. Carolinas PP still sucks, its 1 for 20 and also allowed 2 shorthanded goals. And Andersen has performed lousy in the past in game 7s if it ever gets to that (0-4).

Delivering to Da Angelo pizza in Williston Park. I might “accidentally” forget to give them a case.

Wild stats I saw on Twitter:
Zac Jones is top 5 in takeaways/60
2nd in NHL in takeaway/giveaway ratio
Top 10 entry denial %

yea but he's not 6'5 275, there's no way he can play Playoff Hockey

It’ll never happen, but the coaching staff shouldn’t hesitate to shake up PP1 if they go out there and lay eggs the way they were in game 5.

Two years in a row of that group crumbling when they’re needed and the corpse of Patrick Kane isn’t around to blame anymore.

We're very limited as far as what else we can do. Put Laf on it. That's about it.

Our talent is very top heavy and PP2 is one of the worst units in the league.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

I just want some calls in our favor. still salty about that Tim Peel special in game 4.

I would like for them to just call the game.

There's been a mission statement for as few penalties as possible since halfway through game 3.

 

[nevesis]

Nothing else needs to be said. Finish this tonight.

LGR!!!!

I certainly know why that is the case. When you have a guy that shouldn't even be sniffing the pp trying to set up the 2nd unit. Coaches for some reason still keep putting him out there to run the 2nd unit.

I've noticed that as well, and that plays into CAR favor.

Hasn’t Gus mostly been the pp2 guy for the majority of the season?

Yeah that's fair.

But it also includes:

-Chytil? Might not even play.
-Kakko who sucks at offense.
-Wennberg who scores like 6 goals a year.
-Roslovic I guess?

Our talent is very limited outside of the guys you see on PP1. It's one of the major issues with our roster.

My playoff beard has started to cross into “guy living in a log cabin who died of typhus in 1871” territory.

Win this round and I think I can look like a Chechen separatist by the end of the ECF.

Awesome. Mine is starting to look like a 15 year old kid who hasn't shaved in like 5 days and inexplicably has gray hair throughout it.

We’re top heavy, so are like all the remaining teams in the playoffs.
The exception is Dallas, but Dallas also doesn’t have the true high end talent most other teams do.

 

[Machinehead]

If they start to struggle again, I would definitely look to get Laf in there somehow.

Also, play Fox the whole two minutes. I don't care if he's hurt, this is game 6 now.

I don’t know, Johnson has turned into a star over night

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Laf is better

 

[Filip Chytil]

I'd be lying if I said I was confident about tonight. Not feeling good about this one.

Good news is I didn't feel good heading into Game 3 either and they ended up winning that one. Hoping for the same thing to happen tonight.

Yeah I believe so but unless my eyes are deceiving me I've seen Trouba out there way too much on the 2nd unit these playoffs. Seems like both Gus and Trouba have been out there with the 2nd unit. There is zero reason Trouba should be on any pp especially one that is fighting to make it to the final four of the Stanley cup playoffs.
