LETS f***EN GOOO!!!!

CLUTCH CHRIS KREIDER BABY!!!

 

[MattMartin]

I'm surprised the Canes didn't dive on the handshake line.

 

[NyQuil]

Pretty wild ending, Kreider won’t have to buy drinks in the tri-state area for awhile.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Rangers biggest test of all (Panthers will win tomorrow imo) is coming up. What a series it should be.

Carolina needs to upgrade goaltending big time.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

The first 2 goals on Freddy Andersen were the worst goals I've seen, the guy blew this game and series for Carolina. Rod should be questioned on the Freddy starts after Kotchekov played well in game 3

Congrats Rangers: Team took 3rd period crack-of-light, and did what Championship caliber teams do, jumped through it!! Very impressive after Canes didn't seize it, and now team has that good mojo heading into ECF's. Enjoy the spoils Ranger fans, you've got a great team this year that could do it.
.
Canes fans, tough way to go after team fought back from 0-3 deficit. Close series but Canes lost the important swing moments. Plus, odds are odds for a reason. Canes blowing it, with tie late in 3rd, and then OT loss early in series left no room for errors. Could've survived 3rd period melt tonight, if 1-2 instead of 0-3 series, but odds caught up to Canes. Hang in there, tough playoff loses stink.

Congrats Rangers

I guess wasting all your cap space a year before guys like Trochek are hitting free agency to sign Kotkaniemi because Bergevin called your owner cheap wasn't a good move?

You had that shit ready since end of game 3 didn't you?

 

[MikeFolignosHelmet]

You just knew Freddie was going to fold after that 2nd soft goal. The look on his face, his body language; he was broken mentally. Congrats to the Rangers on exploiting that weakness.

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

This is the last time I buy in on the Carolina hype train.

Jesus Christ.

 

[Enniskillen]

Freddy sucked as usual. He can’t make a crucial save.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

I’m in disbelief…I thought the boys blew the game and series and they really shocked me.

Glad I don’t have to go to a Game 7 @ MSG and get a refund, likely would have had a heart attack

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Herb Dean (Freddie Andersen) fault

 

[bov]

Andersen looked atrocious all game, even at 3-1 Carolina I couldn't trust it.

 

[Leonardo87]

Chris Kreider is my favorite Ranger, and he has gotten some heat from Rangers fans. What he did tonight brought tears to my eyes.

Good series Carolina, I knew this was going to go at least 6 games, and even thought it was going 7. This was not an easy series.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Chris freaking Kreider tho

Freddy just ain't it

 

[Anomie2029]

It's hard to do when the Leafs continue to choke in the first round, but Carolina are really battling for that crown this playoffs.

 

[Peltz]

This series was the 100th lesson in my life that I don't know what the f*** I'm talking about.

- I said multiple times that the Rangers needed to give their lines a shake, particularly the Zibanejad line . . . . and they dominated the 3rd period

- I said Shesterkin looked shaky and shook and he made a ton of massive saves in that 3rd.

I've been watching this team my entire life. I also don't know what the f*** I'm talking about lol

 

[yrrebbor]

Hooray!

 

[Enniskillen]

Freddy is a friend of Matthews, so no wonder they both hate playoffs.

 

[BERTUZZZZi]

yikes... Freddy being Freddy

 

[NyQuil]

I guess wasting all your cap space a year before guys like Trochek are hitting free agency to sign Kotkaniemi because Bergevin called your owner cheap wasn't a good move?

Kudos, you worked really hard to somehow work this into the narrative.

 

[BMOK33]

In the end my Rangers in 6 worked out but it probably should have ended in 4 or 5. Losing 2 games might benefit them. I think no matter what the ECF will begin Monday probably so they won't be off too long

 

[Mr Positive]

Freddy is a friend of Matthews, so no wonder they both hate playoffs.

Now they can go golfing together

Momentum's a hell of a drug.
