Post-Game Talk: Game 5

[Synergy27]

Florida is better. How can you be mad?

 

[MysticLeviathan]

hard to feel bad about this one either. been outplayed by a lot. not particularly close. can’t rely on igor to steal all your games. skaters have to make plays themselves.

 

[CasusBelli]

Bread and Mika will lose us the series.
Don’t let Mika’s recent assists fool you.
At least we have 4 and 79 together again.
Too little and too late.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

I have said it for years. I hope its there for all to see. Mika is a loser.

 

[Ail]

Can't wait for the post-game cope sesh.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

If Florida continues to play like this, they will easily sweep whoever comes out of the west.

They will destroy either Dallas or Edmonton.

I don't want to hear shit about Panarin when he scores 120 points next season. At least Mika is consistent. Terrible and useless, but consistent. What's Panarin's excuse? Oh, it's not the right matchup for him? Spare me.

 

[Kovalev27]

Another 1 goal game that wasn’t really close. This is real playoff hockey, and they just aren’t built for it.

Stop it was close it’s a soft goal late that’s the difference

 

[Boris Zubov]

Panarin no show. Shesty softy. PP stinker. Rinse and repeat

At least Mika really left it all out there.

 

[bouds]

Love the cheapshot by 9 at the end there on Panarin. Absolute f***boys this group.

 

[Machinehead]

I really feel like we did our best. This isn't a good enough lineup. People called it out all year and got yelled at because "but they're winning games!!"

 

[RangersFan1994]

Love these vets that are no shows when it counts in the playoffs. Drury really needs to get more playoff type of players ones that can score in small spaces when things get tighter. Not wussies like Panarin Zibanejad Roslovic. Useless in the playoffs

 

[nyrleetch]

Maybe Mika can get a SOG in game 6

 

[Clark Kellogg]

I chose to Believe.

There is no universal law that says the Rangers won’t win the next 2.

 

[bl02]

People are gonna look back and say Mika had 2 points in game 5 he's still got it.
So soft on that eng with the season on the line.

 

[CasusBelli]

Florida is better. How can you be mad?

Mad that we have inept scouting and management.

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

Play Jones or shake hands on Saturday. Need puck movers come playoff time, not grit tards like Lindy and Pooba

 

[qwertyaas]

Florida is better. How can you be mad?

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

3 biggest issues for playoffs:
Mika, defense, and depth.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I know they had a shitty third period but the idea that you can't blame the huge elephant in the room for losing this game is preposterous. I'm really tired of our goalie giving up goals on nothing shots that go through him. Really tired of it. And no him being great the rest of the game doesn't absolve him. It just means he CAN make those saves but like clockwork doesn't. And no we weren't good in the third but it wasn't some ridiculous domination like last game. This wouldn't have even been a steal if we won it.

 

[mrmovies779]

This Panthers team is going to win the Cup.Nobody left in the playoffs can withstand their pressure.No harm in saying their are better and have thoroughly outplayed us

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

This isn’t the f***ing NBA. Not even the best team in the league beats the worst team in the league every game.

The Panthers are a good hockey team. Gus playing like a f***ing moron isn’t the Panthers being good. It’s him being a journeyman defenseman.

The Rangers won the Presidents trophy. I’m so sick of the rhetoric that they’re outmatched. It’s self inflicted.

 

[Chytilmania]

-Mika turns to complain to the refs about an elbow
-Refs, no call
-Me: "That's sports, Mika."

 

[Chaels Arms]

Zibanejad bailing out of the play in an attempt to draw a call on Bennett before the empty net goal really seriously irks me as a Rangers fan and a hockey fan in general. This is the same player who got publicly chewed out by Gallant at the end of a game for mouthing off to refs. Just play the game straight up dude.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

The Rangers are a good hockey team. No I'm not trolling. They are. The Panthers are just better. We are totally outmatched.

Much like 2022. Another good Rangers team totally outmatched by a superior opponent.

Yeah I know the series isn't over but I've seen this song and dance a million times.

Truly the NYR way
