Post-Game Talk: Hurricane VII

Next day at work to the fellow fans in Europe

 

[NYRangers16]

I'll just enjoy this moment. Playoff experience matters. And we are getting a ton in a hurry. This team will win a cup in 3 years.

Honorable mentions for thoughts - only thing missing from this beauty was Reaves taking TDA's head off.

Second one, I love this team.

NHL hockey made me more disciplined for real

bloody must be punching so much air right now

Give lots of credit to GG.

There was a thread about firing him like 2 weeks ago

 

[Captain Monglobster]

Hell yea Rangers no f***s given

That thread will be active again at some point in the near future.

Oh I’m sure lol. I just don’t understand how we go from the NCAA pond hockey shit show to the ECF and people are still bitching

 

[Cmox]

everything about that city is subpar, classless and unprofessional. And they smell bad.

Shittsburg and I live in PA.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

Let's give the Canes some credit. After trying to start fights after 3 losses, they finally kept their tails between their legs and let us celebrate. We gave them a lot of practice, and they finally learned how to lose. Good for them.

Did Vally actually get away with saying the Rangers have "church bells that clank" on air??

What does that mean?

 

[Doctyl]

What does that mean?

They’re testicles

Seeing the child crying made me so happy. The Rangers channeled their inner Michael Jordan.

I chose Mika, Kreider, and Igor, but honestly that was a team effort. The first period was a nail biter, but I thought every line showed up to finish the job. I’m gonna start calling Filip Chytil “Big D**k Fil,” because this kid has some serious stones on him.

I still can’t believe we’re not only going to the ECF, but our season has survived long enough to possibly see the return of Sammy Blais.

We’re playing with house money now boys. Let’s do this.

I don’t see Sammy Blais knocking anyone out of the lineup….. except Kakko .

good riddance Tony dangelo

3. Four-game sweeps: There have been 18 four-game sweeps in the semifinals since ’87. Teams that won a second-round series by sweeping the opposition went on to win the conference finals 11 times and lost in the conference finals seven times. (The extra rest before the conference finals helped?)

4. Seven-game series: There have been 23 seven-game series in the semifinals since ’87. Teams that won a second-round series in seven games won in the conference finals only six times and lost in the conference finals 17 times. (The fatigue factor of a seven-game series in the semifinals hurt teams in the conference finals?)

This is from 2012 though. I thought in recent history there were a few teams that came out flat after sweeping.

There’s no way you break that kids line up. They tried Motte there, it didn’t work. Kakko completes that line.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Feels a little like '79s run to the Cup against the Habs. Vets mixed with youth. They have proven to be a team that we can easily cheer for and dream of more from.

 

[Chytilmania]

Anyone hear the Dave Maloney yelp on the second Kreider goal?

I'd love to hear all of the calls from Sam. Did anyone post it?

There are definitely some coaching decisions regarding line-ups etc that I disagree with GG. That said, the man is a leader and seems to have the ability of getting this team to play 100% under him when it matters. That's the other side of coaching.

 

[SML2]

I was reluctant to say anything because I didn't want to jinx us, but holy shit did Svechnikov no show. No offensive numbers, no physical play. Total passenger.

Joking aside, I was happy to see the Canes turn out to be a very professional and respectable opponent. They didn’t melt down like the Caps and Penguins always do. They took the loss like adults. Which means they’ll be back and better next season. They’re not old. There will be more battles with these guys. And I imagine they’ll win their share.
