Kitchener Rangers 2022-23 Off-Season Thread (Part 4)

[bobber]

I have the tape of the game can someone show me the video that shows Pinelli actually elbowing the guy.I have looked at it often and see no elbow . Windsor must have the only video showing it ?

blkhawk you can only see the "elbow" through Windsor fan eyes with rose coloured lenses.

 

[I Loveallsports]

Big tilt tonight. Best of luck.

 

[robertmac43]

The anticipation is building. Pumped for tonight.

 

[rve24]

Enjoy the game tonight. It's been a long frustrating year for Ranger fans ( just going by this board ) a W tonight goes a heckuva long way to erasing thst image.


Althou I realize the underlying issues many mentioned may still exist moving forward, enjoy the moment! (just like last years rd 1...gggrrrrrr lol)

 

[TheBlueMonster]

Yeah, my blood pressure certainly is through the roof. Very excited. I am so excited that The Aud is back. It has been a very boring arena for a long time. (Long time STH here). Rangers fans are back!

Congratulations Kitchener on your historic series win. Well played.

 

[OHLTG]

Barring some weird collapse, let me say congrats. I'm shocked, I'm disappointed, I'm upset... but I'm also giving credit where it's due. Kitchener played a historical series and found a way to shut Windsor down. That's not easy.

 

[Otto]

Congratulations Rangers fans.. I'm glad this series is over.. I felt dirty cheering for you looking forward to the next round!

 

[nelli27]

Well done Rangers! Now will someone answer the phone?

 

[rve24]

Congratu...F'ing....lations.

Now please take the air outta that balloon n take it easy on LK.

 

[dmead]

Congrats to the Rangers and their fans.

Well there Bobber, looks like we get our series after all.

 

[windsor7]

Congratulations.
U deserve it.
Owned Windsor easily

 

[TF519]

This is the first, only, and happiest day of my Ranger fandom. Well freaking done!

 

[robertmac43]

Insane. Have not felt that kind of energy in the arena for what feels like forever.

Believe in this team, they are confident, have the talent, and have earned some trust.

 

[OttersFan]

Kitchener knows how to pace and peak at the right time. Celebrate tonight but I’m sure there’s more work to be done.

Congrats on the upset. Nothing feels better than seeing Windsor get swept!

 

[StingUpdates]

Congrats on shocking the Jr hockey world! Always knew this was hidden somewhere down in this team.

As long as we don't go full Sarnia a series vs LDN will be epic & one I'd love to watch.

 

[KyGuy9]

Congrats on the series win! Windsor is clearly not as good as their position in the standings had indicated. You guys put your season together at the right time and have the pieces to go on a run, I wouldn't want to be the next team to face you. Good luck the rest of the way!

If we could bottle whatever MM and the crew put in the Ranger players water bottles we could make millions. It's hard to put in words the difference in the play of this team. Relentless puck pursuit maybe? Reminded me of the two headed snake the Soo coach described one time. I think the spirit of Deboer is haunting the Aud right now and he is still up and kicking. This is unbelievable. First 8th seed in OHL history to sweep the 1st seed. Go Rangers!

TF519 I hope that avatar is not your mug shot! Glad the Rangers made you happy to!

 

[Ward Cornell]

What a joke...enter the hockey gods to ensure a 4 game sweep.

Don't embarrass the Hockey Gods.

Finally some decent coaching. That was the secret. That's how junior players are supposed to develop during a season. We just got to witness it happen in 8 weeks.

Anyone who says coaching doesn't make a difference can ...(fill in the blank)

I would like to like this x 50.

Windsor can thank Chris Dennis for their season ending early.

OK...can we make this the last time that name is ever mentioned here ever.

 

[Coaches Coroner]

I'm going to savour the moment here, because I have a feeling a Knights v Rangers series is going to require me need to log off several times throughout.

Fantastic game. They were hard on the puck, hungry for the puck on the forecheck and put themselves in positions all night long to gain leverage and win puck battles. Can't imagine a better game for my first since the pandemic.

I think I was one of, if not the first, person in the arena to cheer for that Zhilkin deflection goal; from the other side of the arena I just saw the puck and an open patch of net and started clapping lol, I felt like I willed it into the net.

Nice to see the Aud hasn't changed the music since I was in high school; not that I'm complaining, there's enough 90s stuff for me. Kind of nostalgic.

 

[Ranger77]

That was as close to a perfect game by the Rangers as you can get. From the start of the game, they were relentless in the Windsor zone, getting to the puck first and intercepting break out passes. Hollett had a great first period and took three really good shots on net. Having 7 400+ in The Aud is kind of fun!
