Post-Game Talk: Hurricane V - Mod warning in OP - READ IT

[Champs 94]

Guys just relax. We only lost tonight because Shesterkin wants to break Lundqvists Game 7 win total.

Why was Carolina able to figure out our two period suffocating defense in the first game but we haven't been able to figure out Carolina's in three games in Carolina?

The Canes are simply the faster team. The plan, the way I've seen these games, has been rope-a-dope, keep them to the outside and let them switch and cycle to their hearts content on the outside but collapse and defend in front of the net and minimize the second opportunities. At the other end of the rink, we simply do not pay the price to get to the middle of the ice and we're not fast enough to trap pucks from leaving the zone when the opposition gets possession and is looking to break out.

PS let's all cheer for Calgary so the Rangers play at 7 and not 8.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Played like kaka don't play like kaka in msg

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The Rangers have had a good season and series is still somewhat winnable but there's no way they beat Tampa.

 

[McRanger92]

Look, I called the Canes in 6 and if that's the way it goes I can totally live with it. This team VERY much over-achieved and we are missing two of our best bottom 6 players in Goodrow and Blais (two guys that would've made this series very, very different).

This team needs to grow a bit more. I would let Strome go, keep Copp, and build around that with the young guys.

Great point on Blais & Goodrow. These are the games we got them for and it really sucks that neither is here.

Shesty wants a Game 7 shutout
Kakko want's a walk off series winner.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Panarin better have broken ribs or something substantial

I thought it was because he’s a f***ing sieve per snowby

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

We definitely should’ve won game 1 and could’ve been up 3-1 but there’s no guarantee the series plays out the same way if we win game 1. We could’ve swept, we could’ve lost in 5 or we could’ve ended up in the same situation we’re in now. Can’t be mad about it now.

I guess... but don't tell me I can't be mad at something.

 

[Hire Sather]

There's really nothing better than winning in 7. I'm conditioned to expect it as the only way for a Rangers team to actually win a series

 

[LokiDog]

Fractured testicles. No fortitude whatsoever.

lol i think we can all live with the fact that the Rangers might not be up to the level of the 2 time defending champs

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

Shesty wants a Game 7 shutout
Kakko want's a walk off series winner.

If that happened, the KK cesspool thread would be pretty hilarious.

 

[Champs 94]

On the bright side, it would be hilarious to see the haters reaction if the Rangers win the next 2 games. We've played like total crap most of the playoffs yet somehow just keep hanging around.

Can’t remember the last time the Rangers won in 5. 6 or 7 always.

90% of this board thought we were running into a buzzsaw in Carolina.

Get there and let's see.

I don't think their overall team speed is that much of a difference maker...their energy & conditioning, however is a clear advantage. Even all of our young guys like KAM, Laf, Chytil, Fox & Kakko look completely gassed. None of them have played in a season this long before & its obvious they've all hit the wall.

Agree with everything else. Nobody on this team is willing to score a dirty goal, maybe Laf is the exception.

 

[ReddestRum]

Shesty wants a Game 7 shutout
Kakko want's a walk off series winner.

Kakko couldn't hit the net with no one in it. I very much doubt we'd want him to chance taking the shot that wins the series.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

At least we're not getting the "let's have another rebuild" posts we got last series.

 

[Chaels Arms]

Gallant's faith in Strome/Panarin is really hurting us. The two of them have been absolutely horrible but are deployed like they're McDavid/Draisaitl. They are so bad I think they've actually been bringing down Copp. It seems like in the very few instances we see Copp away from them he suddenly becomes a stronger player.

Kakko on the 4th line makes no sense either.

Carolina absolutely dominated us tonight and we had no answer. To the point where I doubt if any line changes could have made a difference.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Great point on Blais & Goodrow. These are the games we got them for and it really sucks that neither is here.

I for sure bring Blais and Motte back. Make a shrewd vet signing that can kill penalties and win a defensive zone faceoff and this team is so much harder to play against with everyone healthy.

 

[huerter]

not one person in these press conferences has any feel for sports. unreal.

 

[Bob Richards]

Can’t remember the last time the Rangers won in 5. 6 or 7 always.

Last time was 2015 vs Pittsburgh.

Before that was 2008 against the Devils lol.

Everything else is 6 or 7 games with a HEAVY emphasis on 7.

When did we sweep Atlanta?
