Shots hitting legs, shots hitting sticks. This is garbage. Get them to take a penalty with your f***ing legs.

 

[RangerLifer]

Who cares about the division. Its really not that important.

Home ice.

 

[DoTheBlue]

Good shift. Need more.

 

[lakeshirts37]

Why is Gus in slow motion on anything he does?

concussed

 

[17futurecap]

Whole lot of cycling for nothing

 

[bleedblue94]

What matters is going ice cold at one of the worst possible times.

Correct, that isn't what people are freaking about. They want the divisions and presidents trophy which are nothing burgers. They still don't know their d pairs for the first game of the playoffs. Regardless I have no doubt that game 1 they will look different than they do today. It's just a different level.

If the point of hockey was to ring the puck around the boards and hold it to the outside then they would be Stanley cup champions every year

 

[bleedblue94]

Home ice.

It's not as important as it once was

 

[Fitzy]

Roslovic might be our least eventful skill forward since Spooner

 

[Chytilmania]

Mika could have attacked the middle there.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

we play a very soft perimeter game. that shit doesn't work in the playoffs.

You play over the course of the long regular season to put yourself in the best position in the playoffs to win. The fact that we don't seem to care and haven't really cared all season is very alarming.

It is still important statistically - something like 55% of the time home team wins a playoff game since 2008. It does matter.

I’m worried about how they are getting cold.

 

[chosen]

Anyone moaning about effort and passion is clueless.

 

[duhmetreE]

You have attack the middle to score. Perimeter possession leads to little

 

[nevesis]

Nothing else matters but a full regulation win. Can’t let them get any points.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Rempe nailed Pelech!

 

[Chytilmania]

How is every damn shot blocked?

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

Look at the shots on goal. We've been in the middle more than they have. They just got the bounces.

 

[17futurecap]

The Islanders are perfectly fine sitting back with a lead vs us, up to the Rangers to change that by scoring a goal at five on five.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Point shot, deflection, point shot, deflection.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

nothing but muffins from the point and overpassing.

 

[Profet]

Watching them just skate around the offensive zone with zero players in the middle of the ice is infuriating

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Rempe nailed Pelech!

Rempe has unfortunately not made a difference in this game.
