Carolina deserved this one. Neutralized our top two lines. Played our PP perfectly. Dominated possession. Igor was great yet again. Regroup and get back at it on Thursday night.

The team and coaches struggled with line changes immensely tonight.
Carolina got several odd man rushes while the Rangers were on changes. So what did the Rangers do? Continue to make poorly-timed changes.
Just a low IQ group of individuals tonight.

Miller wasn't on the ice for the winning goal.
Two forwards went for a stroll for no reason.
We're looking for a scapegoat in a game we just lost because the other team played a little better.
They beat us 3/7 last year. They're not an easy team and stop talking yourself into thinking they are.

Tough loss in a coin flip game. Canes came to play too. Igor looks locked in. Hopefully the US can make a comeback in the WBC to make us feel better

That was an abysmal third period. Miller was atrocious on the first two Canes goals, horrible read on the blue line on the first gifting the open lane and the second he inexplicably chases Stall into the corner who is locked up with Mika. Really brutal boneheaded stuff by Miller on both of those - Vesey can share blame on the first bc he just stopped moving his feet, if he stuck with Chatfield he easily angles him off or at least doesn't let him have all that time and space to pick his spot.
Teravinen was way too wide open on the 3rd, but that whole play was a clusterf*** after Lindgren failed the extremely easy flip out of the zone and then got tripped down (which should've been called but he already turned the puck over on what should've been a very simple clear before the trip) and nobody got into correct position after that, Fox had two guys in front engaged in contact and the 3rd guy slid behind him and nobody picked him up. Bad.
Hopefully a loss like this after flying high for 8 periods is a reality check that they need to do more. You can't just let Carolina dictate everything in the game the way we did, eventually it will bite you. ESPECIALLY if your PP isn't picking up the slack and converting - the PP was atrocious tonight.

He hasn't been good, but he's a 21 y/o kid who's been saddled with awful partners for the most part. He'll be ok.

They've been talking about Ohtani for, no exaggeration, like ten minutes straight.
He's great and I like the kid but these announcers could make you sick of anyone.

Honestly we could use more of that mindset on our team. Ryan McDonagh immediately added an edge to his game that was never present before he went to Tampa.
Not saying he’s a bust. Not giving up on him.
He just sucks at the moment. He’s the bad partner. And he’s regressed a bit recently which isn’t great.

Agreed, but they get away with it for the most part. Teams like Tampa & the Canes play with a mindset that the refs aren't going to call everything & they're 100% correct. Sure it bites them here & there, but the Canes PK is good enough to cover those times when they do get called.

The problem with Schneider is that any criticism becomes "but he's 21."
Ok but he sucks now and we're in full contention.

Smoltz seems like he would rather be anywhere else, a broadcast that could cure insomnia.

Carolina wanted this game more. 2 plays that can't happen were Miller leaving the front of the net wide open after they had just gone up 2-1, and the trip on Lindgren that leads to a goal. Refs miss those obvious call way too often.

We don't have any so it just kind of is what it is.
But I can't blame people for saying "this isn't ideal" every now and then.

True.
Just tough game to lose and to lose like that. This game on many fronts was way more important than the last two we won easily. Especially taking a lead into the third. I know the competition was better tonight but the their desire did not match that of the Canes.
