GDT: Game 7: New York Rangers vs Florida Panthers, 7pm ET, MSG

[Ben Grimm]

ESPN+ is bad. Their announcer gave FL a 4th goal and they even changed the score to 4-1.

 

[Boris Zubov]

1 SOG this period.

Super.

6 since the end of the first....

 

[Atax]

Rangers look the same as they did in the playoffs last year against an elite team.

Hilarious people don't want to pay Igor. Carried the team in the playoffs last year and you can see again in a game like this that without him this game is lopsided...

We ain’t beating them with Igor.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Who threw the puck right in front?

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Sam, you read it as Bayside. It's written Long Island.

 

[Siddi]

Team is completely falling apart

 

[Sayba]

Mika is a minus 2, no shots on goal, negative in the face off circle, bad turnover and no hits.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

florida is completely locking us down

kreider not paying attention lmao

Mika is a minus 2, no shots on goal, negative in the face off circle, bad turnover and no hits.

he’s f***ing awful and has been for a very long time

 

[noncents]

they interfere with every player who doesn't have the puck and prevent support. we're not willing to fight the necessary battles

 

[duhmetreE]

Has Panarin Zibanebad ever worked?

 

[Row I Goon]

Everyone - “there’s only one line that sucks”

Lavi - “I’ll mix all the lines….”

 

[DialUp]

People don't want to pay 15% of the cap for a bad team to have a bandaid. It makes perfect sense to me.

The team isn't bad. *This* team has a heel, and it's Florida (and god forbid Jersey again, but I am not sure).

I think this iteration is better than TBL, granted TBL just got older a bit.

Rangers are good. They wilt against Florida. Other teams years past played like Florida, but not many anymore in the East, just them. Dallas scares me, Winnipeg ARE good (they were good last year). Edmonton feels like us.

 

[Rempe73]

This may be a top 5 goaltending performance I’ve ever seen

 

[noncents]

best shift since the 1st right there, and miller strong keepin against 2 panthers the reason

 

[Boris Zubov]

Everyone - “there’s only one line that sucks”

Lavi - “I’ll mix all the lines….”

Yet still refuses to split the wonder twins.

 

[Kords]

Anytime you can break up the only line that scored you just gotta do it

 

[Kravtsov420]

Look at those long glides to turn around by Mika. Disgrace

 

[duhmetreE]

Mika is like reverse Samson.

The longer his hair… the weaker he gets

It's why I was baffled the blame was placed on a lack of puck movement from the backend for last playoffs. I mean that was some of it but they got f***ing outworked.

 

[EXTRAS]

I think Rangers media guide is more accurate then Wikipedia?

Actually the heading in his wiki page says Shesterkin

It says:

Igor Olegovich Shestyorkin (Russian: Игорь Олегович Шестёркин, commonly spelled as Shesterkin; born 30 December 1995) is a Russian professional ice hockey

 

[Rempe73]

Zibanejad is so bad that last season made him seem elite by comparison

The reason we are lopsided is that our skaters aren’t good enough. We need to spend more on new skaters, not less.

 

[noncents]

it's so impressive how the panthers matriculate the puck towards the net.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

mika plays like he just woke up for a nap

 

[Kravtsov420]

I wish we had Reinhardt sam
