I know what you feel bro.
Welcome to my world

1 am start, 3:40ish am you can go to bed if there is no OT.

Fortunately Washington is on the east cost. If I was a Sharks/Canucks/Kings fan the game would start at 4 am

I have a whole new respect to those on here following caps from Europe, Tough!

I like how Rempe is covered like a Make-a-Wish kid. Even from the fanbase heartily cheering every little thing. Heartwarming.

Every broadcast is like “Rempe goes in for the check, misses the check, shits his pants, then slips on it. Another standout shift for Matt Rempe, what a story”

Man I love the Panthers' brand of hockey.

 

[Calicaps]

Let's go cats!!!

 

[Langway]

Keep turning those screws, Panthers.

If you told me right now that Forsling is the best player in the NHL I’d believe you

He's not that far off:

He's easily Florida's best defenseman, and is among the best in the NHL.

Honestly their back line is stacked

 

[Calicaps]

beautiful

 

[stephenball]

The Rangers are just completely outmatched by the Panthers. Shesterkin has been incredible and the only thing keeping this from being total domination.

 

[notDkristich]

get rekt rangers. take your elbows and go home

 

[Nice]

The Panthers are such a playoff team

 

[stephenball]

Honestly Panarin deserves to be ripped to shreds. It’s weird to see the puck on his stick and have absolutely no fear of him

 

[Calicaps]

a thoroughly satisfying night of hockey. sweet dreams all!

 

[IafrateOvie34]

One more win for Florida. Please finish the Rangers.

 

[stephenball]

I honestly think that was the best performance of the Rangers overall this series. It was a weird case where the Rangers were the better team at the cycle while the Panthers were better in transition and off the rush.

 

[Ridley Simon]

I hate the Rags

No historical or statistical support whatsoever, but I've always believed that the winner of game 5 goes on and wins the series.

Think it’s close to 80% of those who win game 5 when the series is tied go on to win the series but maybe you’re just referring to in general?

3 assists in the series so far. Goalless streak now is at 8 games, which is hard to imagine because the Rangers have scored a bunch of goals

Laviolette still trying to win games 1-0, even when he is losing.

The Rangers another team with some decisions to make. Igor UFA in 2025. I see no reason for him not to be the highest paid goalie in the league.

He’s going to make $10m plus.

Igor actually had a very average season ( I know as he was on my fantasy league team) so he will get paid for his playoffs performance and that may somewhat limit his AAV or tenure.

Zib and Breadman have been bullied. They are warm butter soft.

The Rangers don’t get passed Carolina without Igor. They are the most mid PT winner in quite some time. They’ve been using the same playbook in the playoffs for two decades — have one of the best goalies in the world play out of his mind and carry the team, capitalize off any bounces to produce a little offense, and hope to win games 1-0 or 2-1.

If they’re not scoring on specials they have a hard time generating offense and getting to the high danger areas. Even the Caps outplayed them at evens on ES; the Caps had 52% of the shot share at ES, 58% of the scoring chances, and 61% of the high-danger scoring chances.

To sum it up, this is terrible and bad and very not good.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

It's pronounced I-gor!
