It would be SO embarrassing if we were the fourth team it happened to.No chance it's over 50%...3 teams total have pulled it off.

Apt comparison. That game was horrific. We don't have a Mark Messier in the room this time, however.Reminiscent of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Championship vs. the Devils in 1994.
Igor didn’t exactly shit the bed. Others swallowed the Ex-Lax on his behalf. Schneider looked like a guy watching the bus go by on the first goal.I just don't know what happened in the third. He was legit having a dominant performance in the first two. Completely dominant and then shit the best in the third.
It’s happened 4X previously. 1942, 1975, 2010 and 2014.No chance it's over 50%...3 teams total have pulled it off.
The concern for me is just the effort. It wasn’t there. Trocheck called them out “Carolina wanted it more” he said it twice and it’s true. The Rangers had a chance to win the series there gave up 4 in the third period. I expect a better effort Thursday or this series is over
I mean, at least he tried to challenge, unlike Trouba who's been backing up into the goalies lapIgor didn’t exactly shit the bed. Others swallowed the Ex-Lax on his behalf. Schneider looked like a guy watching the bus go by on the first goal.

Laf who had one of the best games of his career in game 4 was invisible this game. I really went ot bat for him on the main board and he like the rest of the team didn't shot up.
Neither did all of the other teams that had a bad performance and then won the series.Apt comparison. That game was horrific. We don't have a Mark Messier in the room this time, however.
I have no problem with what happened against Tampa 2 years ago. They were coming off of two tough 7 game series in which they were behind in those series and came back to win. People seem to forget that. They were pretty much gassed later in that series and were playing the defending champs. Last year was a different story.I shouldn't be so irate right now...but the last 2 years have made situations like this extra sour. Pissing away a 3rd series that should be in the bag and I don't see how it's possible to have any good vibes about this core for Summer hockey.
Saw somewhere 4 times in 209 series did a team lose 4 straight after being up 3-0.What is the percentage of when a team up 3-0 and loses the next two? I'm almost afraid to ask.

We need to be really good to win game 6.
We needed to be really good to win the three games we won.
We can do it.

It hasn't been a problem all year though. They were like 11-1 on the second night of a B2B and gutted their way though some awful scheduling, playing 6 games in 9 days and winning 5 of them. I honestly don't know what to think. Maybe the extra day off will help.Their conditioning stinks then. They only played four games in the first round.
I mean, at least he tried to challenge, unlike Trouba who's been backing up into the goalies lap
But yeah he over challenged. The real culprit was the baby shit soft play to toss the puck out of the zone and then everyone goes and changes
mother f***ers you don't need 15 second shifts to save your legs get out there and make plays and stop being a damn doormat

It's similar to the first goal in Game 4 with Trouba. Whereas Schneider challenged at the line and got turnstiled, Trouba backed in. Both were caused by botched clears/line changes. Boyle broke down the Trouba play post-game 4. When you as a dman expect your forwards to clear the zone and space out but they don't, then you're in deep shit because you're probably standing still. Do you challenge or do you back up? The natural thing to do is back up. If you try to step up and "torpedo" the oncoming forward, in Boyle's words, you're gonna get smoked at the NHL level. That's basically what happened to Schneider with Staal. You can't gap up when you're at a standstill with the expectation that your forwards will clear the puck out and it comes back at you right away.I mean, at least he tried to challenge, unlike Trouba who's been backing up into the goalies lap

i'll believe that when my sht turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbetIt wasn’t head related?
If this happens you get to pick my username and statement/slogan for the next 365 days and I post about it here and the main board.When I booked the perfect Cup run in my head, I had us sweeping Washington, beating Carolina in 6, and beating Florida in 7.
We're gonna do it!
yeah for sure which is why I said the real culprit was how the Rangers "cleared" the zone and acted like they had done their job and relaxed.It's similar to the first goal in Game 4 with Trouba.

They were also not that good in the last 10 minutes in game 4 after they tied it and lousy all game tonight. All is not lost but I'm really concerned.The Rangers were good outside that 10 minutes in game 4 in Carolina in the two games down there. I get past demons, but everyone here has watched this team respond all year, give them a shot to respond again.
We have all been watching games since September, there’s no reason to throw in the towel now, and that’s with a 3-2 series lead.
OK, from 2000-2023 (because stuff going back further than that!) and not including the covid play-in rounds. Teams that have gone up 3-0 but have not swept:What is the percentage of when a team up 3-0 and loses the next two? I'm almost afraid to ask.
Yeah ... this reminded me of the Kings series, where we got leads & then "played defense." And we know how that went.I gotta say this loss is on the coaches. You don't see a team play like that without instructions from thYe coaches all game long to "play it safe", "chip the puck out", "get back in the neutral zone"
Rangers deferred from making plays all game long and it was clear that they had orders for short shifts and avoid turnovers and they spent the whole game just tossing the puck away. No one wanted to make a play with the puck at all and that will kill you every time in the NHL especially in the playoffs.
They need to get their heads right before game 6 before they lose this.
And for f***s sake do something to adjust for Carolina just cherry picking a guy at the Rangers blueline and making it easy mode through the neutral zone over and over again. This is on the coaches to respond and adjust now.
