They have something like the third best points percentage in the league the last two months so the doom and gloom is a bit over the top. They have the players to compete, goaltending notwithstanding; I just don’t like how they’re constructed in those lines and I don’t get why we’d make significant changes with two games left in the regular season when they’ve been on a roll.You just look at those lines and players, and it makes you wonder how can they even compete in the playoffs. Praying for a miracle I guess. No Ovi today, that's a positive. Let him rest until first game. He will have a monumental task of carrying this team soon.
NYR have lost 3 in a row. Maybe they are going to start a little slide.Do we even want to play the Shesterkins over the Panthers? Losing 6-3 to FL might be more entertaining than 2-1, 1-0 losses to NYR.
Yea, I mean nothing matters if we can’t figure out Shesterkin. We’re not especially good at executng passing plays to get guys open nets, or rebounds around the crease - instead, we rely on great shooting on low percentage shots from Ovi, Carlson, Mantha, Kuzy.There is nothing special about the way the rangers play. We should be able to limit them if our team D is as good as it's been recently. I just don't know if we would be able to figure out Shesterkin. I could see this series going 7 games. Panthers will destroy us. We have no chance against them with our goalies.
You aren’t a doomer and gloomler for being realistic. Hold your head up high and speak that truth.Yea, I mean nothing matters if we can’t figure out Shesterkin.

OTOH nothing matters if FL hangs 6 on us every game. I think Rangers would be a slow painful death, whereas FL might put us out of misery fast and clean, hehe.
Anyways, I don’t mean to be a doom and gloomer. Anything can happen. Let’s hope they give a good effort tonight and at least give themselves a chance to take 3rd.
Good thing you can hear every players “hey” or yell on the iceAisles' arena looks emptier than the barn they used in Brooklyn.
Kempny in the playoffs. FML.Has fehervary returned after his first shift when he took a puck on the arm?
