Post-Game Talk: Game 5

[Kakko]

I believe in these 2. Legacy games on Thursday.

Father, what is this feeling?

Son, it's called pain.

Where does it come from, dad?

It comes from disappointment in the ones you love.

Will it go away?

Never. And I've just introduced you to the NY Rangers family.

 

[LeetchisGod]

The Knicks and Rangers have so many similarities that it's f***ing eerie. From the lackluster, heartless play to the absolutely horrendous offiicating.

The Rangers have way more talent than the Knicks. The Knicks have more heart.

 

[CLW]

Fell asleep after the 2nd. Ugh.

Good for you...

 

[noncents]

florida lost one to f***in boston. losses happen.

but rangers will not win another game if they do not play with more energy than they had tonight. momentum isn't bullshit. physicality isn't bullshit

 

[Machinehead]

We only need to lose 2 now.

Honestly I don't understand how more teams don't blow 3-0 leads. Momentum has totally shifted here

Because momentum is Santa Claus. It's fun to pretend it's real.

We have to lose 4 in a row. Have we done that all year?

That's why it doesn't happen often.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Also if at any point the Rangers wrap this series in OT or score an ENG to seal it, I want the goal scorer to mock the Kuznetzov bird celly.

f*** that guy.

 

[irishlaxburger2]

How many times did we legitimately test Andersen tonight? The Trouba goal and the Trocheck miss in front of the net come to mind. Any others? Seriously.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Boys, I need everyone to stay calm. there's a reason 98% of teams win the series up 3-0. we're not losing 4 straight sorry not sorry. we can lose 1-2 shit maybe 3. but were not losing 4.

Lost 4 straight to Tampa in 2022.

 

[Mike in Houston]

Because momentum is Santa Claus. It's fun to pretend it's real.

Once although one was by a shootout.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

exactly MH. we're not losing 4 in a row sorry to all of you who think we will.

 

[Reijo29]

and it was a goal that Shesty stopped about 5 or 6 times tonight in the first alone. They didn't challenge Andersen at all. They really should have been shut out.

Yep I thought they had two good chances all game

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

The Rangers have way more talent than the Knicks. The Knicks have more heart.

They can both f*** off. Historic underachievers and chokeartists

 

[17futurecap]

How many times did we legitimately test Andersen tonight? The Trouba goal and the Trocheck miss in front of the net come to mind. Any others? Seriously.

Wennberg is still out there debating whether to shoot.

 

[Machinehead]

Lost 4 straight to Tampa in 2022.

That team was a tier and a half below Tamapa.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Lost 4 straight to Tampa in 2022.

we weren't up 3-0. against Tampa or NJ. we were up 3-0. it took heroic efforts from them to get here...halfway.

 

[will1066]

Last year, Vegas had a 3-0 lead in the WCF.

They lost a heartbreaker in game 4 and then lost a pretty listless game 5 at home.

They won game 6 6-0.

Vegas has some bonfide warriors.

 

[Rangers in 7]

WHAT THE ACTUAL f*** HAPPENED TONIGHT. WAS AT THE GAME AND THEY WERE f***ING ATROCIOUS

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Carolina played their cute little hearts out and still only got Halfway. we have to win 1 game out of 2. I guarantee you they're getting eliminated in Raleigh.

 

[Machinehead]

Vegas has some bonfide warriors.

Except, if they didn't win the Cup, you wouldn't say that.

Especially after what happened this year.

Shows how razor's edge it all is.

 

[mike14]

We only need to lose 2 now.

Honestly I don't understand how more teams don't blow 3-0 leads. Momentum has totally shifted here

No idea how you'd check the stats but I'd say it has as much to do with the fact that when the series is between two relatively even teams, 3-0 leads are a pretty rare result.
You either sweep a team you are better than, or it's more than likely they take at least one game off you before it gets to 3-0.

Even in this series Carolina could have jagged one of those 2 OT games and then a 3-2 series looks right so 3-0 doesn't factor

 

[GENESISPuck94]

They're done. Sorry to say but the loser mentality has creeped back into them. Letting this team hang around for no F'n reason. Mika, Kreider, Panarin, Trocheck have completely disappeared the last two games.

If they lose game 6 like a bunch of imbeciles, it's over.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

this team is not losing 4 straight with this coach. this goaltender playing this well, and Chytil coming back in.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

How is Jacob Trouba a captain? Is the idea to have the guy who commits the most boneheaded penalties and is on the ice for the most goals against in a series be the captain?


I haven't seen a captain this useless since...Chris Drury.

Actually he seems to be a very good captain.
He mentors the younger players. Is welcoming to players who have been traded here. Some have slept on his couch instead of having to live out of a hotel.
Great in the community.

He just sucks as a player.

how is it over when we're 4-1 at MSG?
