Is it possible that Skjei is acting as a double agent and still on Dolans payroll?

Here is Kenny Albert's call of Vinny Trocheck's game winning goal!

Not for nothing... idk who would be next in line when Sam retires but im a fan of Kenny

I'm not even a Rangers fan, but I'm rooting for them.

All I know is watching random games from around the league on my streaming box, Canes players dive like crazy. They are a solid team and shouldnt need to resort to that

 

[UnSandvich]

We trailed longer in this game than the previous 5 games combined in the playoffs this year. And still won.

Fun game. I had to leave for a meeting i; the middle of the second period but got home in time for overtime. Not only did Rangers win, but the Cubs had a walk off HR too. I should have a meeting every night.

Trocheck and Sherstykin are neck and neck for the Conn Smythe right now. I thought Roslovic also played really well. He will have some big moments in this series. The Miller-Schneider combo continues to take steps forward. And Lafreniere sounds like an Anglo Canadian.

All good right now.

Tuba is pure chaos that has to be the picture for his hockey card

There were some questionable calls on Carolina in this game. Absolutely no doubt.

The last call on Skjei was a mugging. I don't know what they're on about.

100%. I'm really not sure why people online and on the broadcast were losing their mind about it. It was a blatant cross check in OPEN ICE with everyone staring at the puck carrier and it would've sprung a rush. The ref almost always calls that, especially in OT when the other team just had a power play.

And all the focus on that one, the cross check on Goodrow that led to the 4v4 goal was a FAR more egregious call.

 

[Alluckks]

Panarin is contributing. That's good.

This team is finally in a spot where I don't feel like he needs to win by himself.

He just needs to add what he can add. Don't get frustrated and play stupid like he did against Washington for a bit.

Several times, including that huge move in double overtime, he made big plays in the offensive zone to generate a chance. He was held without a shot till halfway through the 2nd period and then he turned it up. He isn't shying away or changing his game if the game is getting tough or shitty, which is what he did in the playoffs last year and even a bit the year prior.

this game was so long i honestly forgot laf scored twice tonight and voted for jack with tro and igor since he was really good in the last 3 periods. time for sleep lol

 

[Machinehead]

It's LOUD in there.

Knicks and Rangers now 7-1 at MSG in the playoffs.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Since we won the game, Trouba's performance tonight was an all-time hilarious chaotic triumph if we're all being honest. Boneheaded penalties multiple times over, poorly timed pinches, a few good hits, the worst turnover of his life gifting them a goal, almost breaking his neck and decapitating someone with his skate. Just an absolutely hilarious performance.

Best pic of the year. A moment in time I'll never forget.

Panarin was on the ice for 29 scoring chances for (17 at 5v5) in 30:28 of ice time, this is not your playoff Panarin of the last two years

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Igor was locked in and was loving the action. The Canes throw a ton of shots on net. If he’s sees them he’s making the save.

Everything is working, hell of a comeback. The Rangers as a whole, to me, looked like they wanted this game more than the Canes - especially in the overtimes.

Little things. Winning Battles, skating and reaching just a little bit faster, a little bit further. You can almost see the experience of the prior two playoffs showing itself. They aren’t taking a shift off.

I also felt they had more juice and playing 11 forwards instead of just 9 like the Canes shows the difference in depth. That becomes noticeable as games extend like tonight.

The Aho / Guentzal line is dangerous as hell. And Necas is flying out there. They need to hold them down as much as possible. I keep saying it. Give Igor 3 goals and it’s good enough for a win or a shot in Ot

 

[Boris Zubov]

Laf ricochet joan on Kane and Tarasenko is the icing on the cake.

 

[Cmox]

Guentzel is such a rat.

Always looks like a toddler who just got told no.

My brother said he looks like a skinny Frank the Tank

 

[GG96]

Loved it. Can finally breathe.

With that said, still need a little more effort in Game 3.

Bread seemed to find it a bit late in the 3rd into OT. Hope it continues

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

Where'd you see that??

Maybe on this board? Probably something they showed on tv at some point maybe early in the Caps series.

 

[Kaapo Bustfreniere]

Panarin was f***ing excellent tonight

Agree. Not sure what i am saying anymore. I am just so happy we won and maybe even more happy that nerve wracking shit is over.
