OOT Scoreboard 2023-24 playoffs

What goal did he give up that was really bad ? Maybe the Lafreniere toe drag goal that the Panther defenseman got smoked on...every other goal was a redirected shot or a a very well placed shot that most goalies aren't saving.

Some of you guys are ridiculous with your takes. This forum is losing its credibility latley.

So true. People spend months rooting against the rangers and finding every reason to ignore the fact that they are a good team. The funniest thing about this Rangers run? The Devils are the one's that got it started with last year's 1st rd win. Rangers took that loss and used it as motivation all season.

The Devils did what they needed to do last season. The Rangers have a good team. The roster is pretty loaded up and down the lineup but I still believe Florida or Dallas can beat them. I'm not counting the Panthers out quite yet but tomorrow's game obviously is a must win. All 3 games could of went either way , I'm not sure why people think they have looked bad or are done all of a sudden.

This is when it's nice being an out of town fan. I can very easily tune out the Rangers winning like it didn't even happen. My condolences to all those with Rags fans around them

The Rangers winning the cup would really disprove the “goalies don’t matter”.

 

[Clam Jensen]

I’m just happy that a rempe penalty led to a goal.

I’m not ignoring nothing. They have the best goalie in the world.

And while I’ve said that plenty, I get to take shots at the washed up has-been and his $20 billion contract over on the Panthers, who has been curb stomped by the Rangers and outplayed by eons by the Rangers goalie at the other end of the ice, who has made it look easy.

Despite being the only goalie in this series to have a shutout, which tied him all time in playoff shutouts with Akira Schmid, despite the fact that he’s been in the league for a really long time and has made the playoffs more often than not.

 

[Killing Joke]

Yes, because there is credibility in arguing the Panthers let Bob down much worse than the Rangers did to Igor today. Which is what you’re arguing if you’re gonna defend Bob’s play today.

Once again, Igor stopped some of those chances that were goals today.

Last minute save on Tkachuk was similar to a couple of the goals on Bob.

Igor also made a save on a one timer that hit him when the game was tied at 4 in the 3rd. Very reminiscent to the Goodrow shorthanded goal that goes through Bob and up into the net.

If you really wanna gaslight people into believing the Panthers were actually worse today. And that they let their goalie down worse than the Rangers did to Igor.

Yea, like the panthers put up 5.35 expected goals for, Igor saved 1 above expected, where as the Rangers generated dick against the Panthers (under two expected) and bob gave up 5.

Most Cup winners have that loss where they have to self reflect a ton so you're probably not wrong in that regard but they haven't even gotten that much from their stars in this playoffs anyway. Most of their points came from the first 7 games and they've been dickless the past 5-6 besides Kreider's heroics in game 6 v CAR due to Freddy Andersen being a dumbass on the first goal he gave up to Kreider. Like I've said before, good for NYR but this is arguably their last chance at a Cup with that core. Better make the most of it

Bob gave up 5 but I can't really fault him much for any of those goals? That's the craziest thing. 2 were deflections, 2 were amazing plays by Laf especially the second one he scored and then Goodrow was his powerplay guys falling asleep and he wired it top shelf. It's more so Shesty stealing that game than Bob losing it on his own

Panthers need to keep the puck out of their net. Score 4 and lose? What’s wrong with you then. Messier showing the blown defensive coverage on the Rangers first score was revealing. Florida must clean up its defensive play.

Thing is they've been leaky this whole series, the first game the Rags had 2 breakaways and a wide open net that Wennberg fanned on. Game 2, they were caved the first 10-15 mins in and then got their legs together. And then yesterday, the Rags scored on every A+ chance which is pretty f***ing lucky but the Rags have done that for a decade. We know first hand how they are when you bleed A+ chances against them every other shift.

Bob has just been a net neutral these playoffs. He was even outplayed by Vasilevskiy in round one, but no one realizes that because of how quick the series ended. PK Subban certainly doesn't realize that either, with his DUMB ''These are the two best goalies in the league, no offense to Andrei Vasilevskiy'' comment yesterday. The same Andrei Vasilevskiy that outplayed Bob in round one, despite a much more inferior team he had to play behind and facing a ton more chances.

Andersen was also a net neutral these playoffs at best. I'd argue worse than that with his chokejob in game 6.

Saros took a ton of shit these playoffs, but moneypuck has him at a +0.558 GSAx per 60, which is the third highest for goalies that played 5 or more games these playoffs, and I don't even need to say who the first two would be. One of them was eliminated last round. The other is a Russian not named Bobrovsky. Evolving hockey's numbers for Saros these playoffs are slightly lower, but still breaking above even.

Oettinger hasn't been quite to Igor or Swayman numbers, but he's got the best numbers after Igor of the remaining 4 starting goalies.

Don't look now, but Skinner has somehow gotten himself breaking around even for these playoffs with his start to the WCF.

Forgot to add this - Most of the goals didn't really look bad. I normally don't nail a goalie on a breakaway, unless it leaks through him (unless he's deked and sliding) but that doesn't mean that he couldn't have made a save on the breakaway.

And like I keep saying. The save on Tkachuk with 30 seconds left in regulation looked a bit similar to one of the actual goals on Bob yesterday.

He also made a save at 4-4 on a one timer (might have been on the Panthers power play? I forgot who shot it) that looked a bit reminiscent to the shorthanded one timer Goodrow scored.

Holy cow the overreactions to a Ranger win after a dominant Panthers performance. Panthers truly exerted their will as that game went on. Rangers were forced to do nothing but ice the puck for the majority of the 3rd and OT. This series is far from over and is probably going the distance. War of attrition.

I think the Rangers will win out based on having the goalie advantage.

I said Rangers in 7 before it started. Perhaps Rangers in 5 (after yesterday's loss) was the overreaction, but I think that's probably happening if the Panthers don't win game 4 at Tropical MSG tomorrow night. And that's exactly what it's gonna be in there. There were enough Rangers fans there yesterday when the series was 1-1. I'd have to think there will be that many more there tomorrow night with the Panthers now trailing in the series and their fans that went yesterday selling their tickets for tomorrow.

Honestly, the Panthers might need to win it in 6 if they're gonna win it.

I'm not one of the people that's been saying the Rangers are gonna lose every series (other than round one, which was universally picked as a Rangers sweep), I picked them to beat Carolina in 7 (it took 6) and Florida in 7. I thought about 2 weeks ago that the Panthers could probably take the Rangers, but after seeing Florida dick around in game 5 against Boston when they should have knocked them off that night, and seeing Bobrovsky performing at the same pedestrian level as Andersen, I didn't really have much hope for them over the Rangers.

BUT! I still think Edmonton takes them, provided Edmonton beats Dallas. Even with the goalie disadvantage. The Rangers haven't seen a team like Edmonton since us last playoffs.

I also think Dallas would still be their toughest challenge yet, but they're kind of similar to Carolina and Florida (their goalie is definitely playing better than either of those teams) and one thing I've been preaching about with Dallas these playoffs, they have A LOT of OLD legs in the lineup, It's been their younger players carrying them through these playoffs, but some of those old legs could prove to be A LOT of deadweight come round 4 (or earlier) if they make it.

 

[NJDevs26]

I think Florida could definitely beat them on the road to win a series, they probably will have to regardless since they have close to seven straight road games anyway…but I don’t think they’re winning from 3-1 back, especially having to win three at ‘original MSG’ to do it

 

[Bleedred]

One thing that may or may not mean anything is that the Rangers last two playoff eliminations were after blowing a 2-0 series lead after winning the first 2 games.

I don't think that will happen again if they go up 3-1, but I do wonder if that's crept into anybody's minds, as that happened the two years before this?

Yes, I realize that was with a BAD coach, who's no longer there.

i'll say it again....such a trash ECF

 

[Nemec]

I saw two neighbors whom I had never seen exercise go out for a run after the Rangers win yesterday, one was wearing a Rangers shirt.
Rangers fans feeling good and energized.

I remember some kind of study several years back that showed people tend to eat more when their favorite sports teams aren't doing well.

Could it be proven that people tend to exercise more when their favorite sports teams are doing well?

I don't know about others, but when my Devils and/or my stock portfolio are doing well, I am able to wake up extra early and head to the gym at 6am!

 

[Dylan9z9]

If Rangers win the cup, are we still the best in the tristate?

Yes!

 

[Dialamo]

McDavid is McDaviding so far

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

@Bleedred You might be right about the Oilers stars carrying them big time through this series and all the way to a cup but Skinner facing next to no shots would scare me in the Final

Well give Skinner credit. He canceled all the Stars flights to Edmonton so they couldn’t get to Edmonton for the game .
