Post-Game Talk: Local mod in shambles, more at 11 (STAY OFF THE MAIN BOARDS - See OP)

[Jauffre]

Here's the glass half full perspective:

We won while looking shittier than ever.

Florida absolutely went ham and who knows if they can do that again for that duration.

Lavi gets to look at what they were doing to us and how we can counter, just like we countered in game 2.

Kreider, Mika, Fox, Panarin all no shows and if that changes... we absolutely win the series.

@Machinehead will probably need a new heart after this postseason.

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

Can’t wait to read the Devils board later. Prediction: Such 5v5 merchants. Real teams score on the power play.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

Do I eat today or just continue drinking

LET IT RIDE

 

[Brother Mouzone]

6 games to go. I don't give a f*** if they get doubled up in shots the rest of the way. The only thing that matters at this point is the W.

 

[DialUp]

Happy for Kakko being on the ice for that goal. Baby steps

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

Wait I thought the game was at 8, did we win?

Who?

My favorite part of today's game was McDonough calling Barcaly Goodrow Gordie Howe.

 

[Sayba]

Would expect nothing else than Lindgren’s current face injuries

 

[Brother Mouzone]

Now 13 and 1 in afternoon games this year. Just an interesting stat.

I wanna say the only L was an early season game against the Caps ..

[Jack Hanson]

Unlimited hookers and blow for Igor, Goodie, Laffy and Wennberg

 

[Machinehead]

Ok, before some clowns accuse me of being on the rose colored glasses team again or whatever, let me just give it to you like this.

Good:

-We're scoring at 5v5. If we keep getting ESG, we're winning the Cup yesterday.

-If we just won our overtime games, we win the Cup in 2014 and go back to the Finals in 2015. We're doing that.

Bad:

-Man, that was the worst Rangers playoff win in my lifetime.

-We haven't had a win that wasn't overtime or a miracle comeback since game 1 against Carolina.

What I'm not that concerned about: the powerplay and the big forwards. They're gonna heat up. The team just sucked today. You can't expect your big guys to be good when the whole team isn't good.

What I am concerned about: our defense corps sucks. It's Gustafsson for the little time he plays and half of Adam Fox. Everyone else is unwatchable. It's a legit weakness. We knew it was a weakness but they can't be as bad as they were today.

I'm not trying to be negative. All I'm saying is, we're six wins away from the best thing that's ever going to happen to us outside of wives and kids (and in some cases even then). Now is the time to step it up and close this f***er out.

I think Laviolette needs to make a few adjustments despite the win. The powerplay needs a long look in practice and need to stop chasing behind the net so much.

Get back to playing the way we did in games 1 and 2 and we go to the Finals.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

KAK can't buy a point

Kak blocked

 

[Charlie Conway]

Kakko gets the puck off the draw. Makes the pass. Gets an assist. I don’t care about any of you hating losers. The play doesn’t happen without him. Love that kid.

He's always winning his board battles. He should get another look with Kreider and Mika because he can still do the dirty work there.

 

[DialUp]

Didn't want to jinx anything earlier, but today is my birthday and I was stuck inside all weekend (and tomorrow at work) running a huge industry project. My wife, dog and I should have been at Central Park watching the game out there since we live in the neighborhood. Was so bummed, couldn't drink.

Wennberg salvaged the day.

 

[NYRangers16]

There’s an old saying in baseball… it looks like a line drive in the box score .

We played like ass

But it goes down as a line drive in the gap with you waving to your parents on second base in Little League that good of a f***ing victory fellas

We are 6 wins from Canyon of heroes

10/16 done. It's been a wild ride and I truly hope I get to enjoy a parade.

 

[TominNC]

Now 13 and 1 in afternoon games this year. Just an interesting stat.

But we’ll hear 1500
More times how we always lose afternoon games

 

[Machinehead]

@Machinehead will probably need a new heart after this postseason.

 

[Leonardo87]

Don’t want to hear about they didn’t deserve to win that game or they didn’t play well enough to win. They got it done, this is going to hopefully put a lot of doubt in Florida’s heads.

They were also fighting poor reffing all night, so that didn’t help either.

 

[duhmetreE]

It was close game after 2.

KAM destroyed us on the first few PPs.

Our mindset/gameplan with a lead in the 3rd has been dog shit all season. Allow teams to build massive amounts of momentum.... They were dead to rights after we killed that PP to start the 3rd... ZERO killer instinct. Zibs is a female dog.

Up 2-1 while losing Special Teams battle.

P.S. - Laffy and Goodrow are big dick hanging gamers

 

[chosen]

I have never seen a team in any sport, so outplayed, win.

 

[H00fHearted]

Florida really wanted that one.

Think they’re going to be feeling a tiny bit of pressure in Game 4?

 

[HANK30]

Florida really wanted that one.

losing two games in a row in OT has to be tough for them
