I kinda don't either but it's no secret this board is bipolar. Every game is life and death and that was during the regular season. It's 2-2 with 2 of next 3 at home. It's not over.

FKA Roo Returns...Still A Contrarian Apparently
Eh, it's not realistic. Like these people who talk world events now (I'll leave it at that). You need data and factual information. If a statement is made with no evidence or answer, it's just venting or rage.

This. Lavy has made some mistakes and this is a major one. How much more does he need to see? He has been outcoached by the stand up comedian Maurice. This pains me.
The problem is their great first was a 9 shot attempt advantage. Theirs are always 20+. When the Panthers want to they make us look like a non-NHL team. The problem is also that it's not even skill like you might be worried, that's something you can scheme. We're just getting physically dominated.

To be fair, the Rangers have never had that easy of a playoff run in their history, and to a lot of us this is the primary team we root for (for me Giants is a once a week things, Knicks I'm casual, and let's not get into the baseball team from Queens).
Plus the greater NYC area is stressed the hell out, has been for about a decade, and there's been a major championship drought in this city (I know NYCFC won in 2021 and all).
Trouba is big, has big hits once in a while, is a "well respected veteran", and is the captain. This is the stuff coaches jack off to. Every single one of them.

We're long past, but Trouba was a prized player back in the day because he was a decent PMD with decent offense in addition to being a tough hombre. We know that's all gone to shit. I'd love for him to even skate a few more steps before making a pass up ice, but he makes passes from a standstill. Have to move Miller back to Schneider just for mobility and pace alone. I swear Miller sucks with Trouba because the latter slows everything. That's handling the puck, making decisions, doing actual things. Schneider at least forces Miller to do things faster.

That team perennially choked in the playoffs and isn’t strong down the middle. Jordan Staal was their 2C this year, for gods sake.
Players aren’t known for their performances in the Eastern Conference semifinals or quarterfinals. Mika hasn’t shown an ability to play 5v5 beyond that.

Kreider talked in his post game about being quicker. Bro, do it. He has these moments of dominating games, but they're only moments.
I want to see him go Game 6 2017 vs. Ottawa plus Game 5 2024 vs. Carolina crazy next game.

It's not even that: they have a tenacity of coughing up the puck with no pressure and making passes to no one or to a Panther.

Can we trade Trouba to AstraZeneca? I'm on their site right now literally to see what they can offer in return.

With all that they lost a game in OT. I have to lean on the fact that this team has always responded when needed. They will be at home, the officiating couldn't be nearly as bad so they should get more opportunities, and I don't think some of the top guys could be any worse. We also have last change to help with matchups. It's not over.

What a waste of an unreal Igor game.

This is a bad hockey team.
That would make too much sense.

I was looking at some of their meds/therapies to cure Kakko of mediocrity
Does anyone have a clip of the "should have been 2 on 1" at the end of regulation?
Was Mika pulled down or did he just fall?

The other argument is they had all these chances and igor stopped almost all of them. he played incredibly. another couple bounces and the game could've been out of reach far sooner.

Good then maybe someone will trade for him this off season.
That was a HUGE problem today but I think it's the NHL's equivalent of the NFL's "hearing footsteps". I think the forecheck took a psychological toll.

What a waste of an unreal Lundqvist game.
What a waste of an unreal Vanbiesbrouck game.
What a waste of an unreal Davidson game.
What a waste of an unreal Giacomin game.
What a waste of an unreal Worsley game.
f*** this franchise.
Why would Drury trade our gritty respected veteran captain who is big and hits? That's what wins in the playoffs! Half sarcasm. I think Drury and Lavi probably think he's the type of player you win with.
