Post-Game Talk: Game 5

[WhereO Is Kakko]

And I'm sorry Igor is not Hank. He will give up at least a goal. A wall in the first two periods, a sieve in the third. He's not a big game player.

Which is why I wanted Quick in for games 3 or 4. Igor needed a “mental rest.”

I’m frightened for how much the Canes crowd will get to him in game 6. (Hopefully lots of blue in the stands.)

The problem is at this point in their careers Igor is the better goalie when he's on. This isn't Freddie Anderson. As much as I'm disappointed in his inconsistent performance today and mediocre performance in game 4, I don't know if Quick is the answer.

Well, this isn't fun anymore.

Here's hoping that if nothing else, the spectre of being a laughing stock of being reverse swept is enough to put them over the line.

I don't think anyone on this team gives a f***. I think Rangers fans are the ones that care about it. They'll be on the first flight to Mexico with their model girlfriends the day after they're eliminated.

Has there ever been an NHL player provably known as such? I’ve thought Mika might be that guy, Kreider a bit as well.

Known as what?

Trying to stay positive but this reeks of the Devils series. Looking worse and worse in almost every facet each game, other than game 4's 2nd and 3rd periods. Rangers in 6 please.

Except against the Devils they actually showed up in one game. This is more Tampa.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

And what are the Rangers? Since 1967 (trying to use the modern era and mitigate the effects of Montreal getting the best players in O6 days) we have as many championships as the Jets. This is a BAD losing franchise. I only watch them because my parents and I are immigrants and most immigrants move to New York, not Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The Rangers have also been to 4 ECFs including a SCF in the last 12 years and are 1 win away from another. Stop making it seem like they are Buffalo Sabres or Ottawa Sens.

Player who doesn’t give a shit outside of doing enough to cash a check

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Jesus you guys need to step away from the Ledge. You guys still have a 3-2 lead with two more chances to close it out. You guys will win the series.

 

[Jagr676]

Not just tonight, been getting worse and worse every game. Some calls and non calls in so of the other games is also abysmal. Going down hill every year

With all that said, refs are not the reason we lost this game last night. Coach has some work to do with these guys and I’m wondering if that involves Quick and Chytil to shake things up.

 

[Gordon Bombay]

I do wonder if the boys caught some of what Fil has. We haven't seen a game like that in a long time.

We will not win this series sitting back and playing defense. 2 games left to adjust and put the gas pedal down.

Also, big thanks to this team for the Nam flashbacks of the last 2 years I'm gonna have for at least 2 days

 

[94leetch]

For now it's still silly to think they won't win the series but man... The three wins were close so don't let them get any momentum the other way, well that train has left the station. They found another gear, now the Rangers have to.

 

[Jack Hanson]

We just need to turn this around. Cuz every now and then we fall apart.

 

[nsvoyageurs]

Carolina has outplayed the Rangers in every game this series. It was a miracle the Rangers somehow led 3 games to none; the only reason for that was Shesterkin (I said this earlier this series and was laughed at and mocked LOL). They played last night like they were trying to win 1-0. That does not work anymore. The Hurricanes have made adjustments, the NYR haven't (if they have, they haven't worked)

When/if the Rangers lose this series, everyone should be fired/traded (yes, I know about the NMC/NTCs). They won the President's Trophy, but they aren't that good. Slow/soft and in need of more skill/give a rat's ass.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

This is the problem. Why? Why are they preordained to win it all this season? Carolina had the same record as us. Florida is probably better then us. Colorado and Dallas are tremendous. Why are we supposed to win?

If you are asking this question. you must be new or you don't deserve to be a Rangers fan.

 

[Row I Goon]

Ban me. I don’t care. It be truth.

(Please don’t ban me)

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Why arent we used to this?

Charlie Brown attempting to kick the football syndrome.
We choose to believe despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Sports isn't always fun. It's hard work. It's sacrifice. It is frustration.

Easy to say that when your team wins multiple Cups.

 

[aufheben]

That's literally impossible.

23 such series have gone to game 7 and the team that initially went up 3-0 is 19-4 in game 7.

It's hard to lose four in a row.

We don’t need to lose four in a row anymore.

 

[aufheben]

They still have probably a 75% chance to win this series just by virtue of leading 3-2, but this Rangers team is completely average 5v5.

[ColonialsHockey10]

Omg so sick, just realized we get 3 full days to stew over this f***ing team instead of 2. Great stuff.

We literally still do.
