Panthers seem to be in their heads. Tkachuk has put up some beastly possession numbers but aside from that and his G1 floater they need more. He's got to be dinged but just nowhere close to last year's clutch play.

Forgot to mention how cringe Pasta looked celebrating the World Cup. I guess when your the best regular season team in NHL history and make it as far as the caps did this season. You Celly like Ovies keg cup stands

Thankfully they've scored a couple in the last few mins and are now in front! Some lucky bounces but they all count

Panthers really need that next goal to be up 3-1. Rangers have just been too resilient in coming back in games, you need a cushion for sure.

A lot of low-percentage low-to-high stuff from the Panthers. There is a lot to be said about the quality disparity in the teams' scoring chances.

Shesty with a crazy save on Okposo.

This feels like so many Caps series where Florida dominates possession and shot attempts but the looks that the Rangers get are high danger so they’ll win despite getting consistently outshot 42-13. Been there, done that.

Yeah same feels like I've seen the same story in the playoffs in previous years. After that last Rangers goal Florida basically laying siege in their zone.

Rangers really lucky this is 2-2. I think Florida wins the next two. Rangers have run out of gas in the last two games.
One thing the Rangers are are extremely opportunistic. Florida has dominated possession but the Rangers don’t need much of an opening to pounce on and score. I think in general the longer series go against Florida the harder it is to beat them, they wear you out.

Let's hope you're right. I haven't watched much of the games, mostly been listening to it in the background. I did hear Krieder has no points since his hat trick to beat the Canes. And the rest of the Rangers "star" players have been underwhelming, except for Lafrenierre.

Did anybody else see on the mains that Rags fans are blaming the hit on Fox in our series (can't remember who "kneed" him) for injuring him? They said he has been hobbled ever since
