Because either Gallant didn't care or Zib tried to suck it up and failed miserably. That was seriously one of the worst shootout attempts I've ever seen.

Definitely overthought it and tried to surprise Georgiev who he figured would be expecting his forehand/backhand.
I’m sorry for my role in this. I ordered a Zibanejad jersey today so obviously he’s cursed now.
Barring it looking like trash because he's hurt this reminded me of some dude trying to act all cool in front of a girl where being himself would give him better success.
Kakko is doing good things on the top line but Kreider is just not playing hockey right now. Kakko and Mika do seem to have a little better chemistry but if they still can't put it together by the time Chytil gets back then you gotta reunite the kid line. But I think Kreider wakes up here soon because he's been horrendous.

This is actually a really weird take. You're pretty much the ultimate "we need to be more alpha!" kind of person; yet here we have a guy being 'alpha' (and no, it doesn't mean anything) by wanting to play and succeed rather than be a passenger and you end up getting all pissy about it.
You should be celebrating Georgiev as your spirit animal right now
Yeah meanwhile Kravtsov has looked f***ing terrified every shift hes taken and is getting love because he skated up the ice on a goal for (where he never touched the puck.)

He’s so good he doesn’t even need to touch the puck to influence the play or score a goal, that’s what I meant by being so ahead of his time it’s not measurable by present day stats. We have to wait until advanced stats become advanced enough.
He looks like he just caught the holy spirit every time he does touch the puck or someone is about to touch him so maybe all he should do is just skate around and avoid everything and good things will happen?
I'm starting to hope he gets traded strictly to see less of this.

As for Georgiev, he played well obviously and it was never really in doubt as long as he could settle in tonight that he would have a great game. He was amped up and obviously had something to prove so as long as he didn’t give up on early he was going to have a great night.
What I don’t understand is why he still seems mad at the Rangers. He was signed as an UDFA and he got to train under the best goalie coach in the league and cut his teeth with tons of minutes he wouldn’t have gotten anywhere else really. He was okay and had flashes of being really good and some ups and downs. The Rangers gave him so many chances, even choosing to buy out a franchise icon instead of losing him. Igor was a prized prospect and they still kept almost equal splitting them at first even when Igor was playing much better. Then last season Igor has one of the best seasons in the modern era and Georgiev plays more than basicslly every other backup in the league even though his play didn’t really warrant it compared to how well Igor was playing. He pouted all season and playoffs in the face of this. And then in the off-season the team not only honors his request to be traded but it’s to the best team in the league with the immediate understanding that he is their starter. It seems like everything worked out basically just about as well as it could’ve for him, all things considered.

Im not going to give you a like bc f*** him. He was such a downer after every win. His body language spoke louder than everything. He’s a 1B goalie that will fall off his pink cloud by Christmas.

Glad Kreider was as obviously terrible on tv as he looked in person. He really drags that top line down and was just a black hole tonight. He should not have played a second of overtime. Give it to Kakko who is a possession monster and takes care of the puck.

I can’t believe you ditched us, your beloved JacketsNo no no my drunk uncle is exactly why I became a Ranger fan
Seriously though, I’ve posted the story before but this why I became a Rangers fan:
I’m from Vancouver, so becoming a fan of the New York Rangers is a little odd. Growing up in a huge hockey market I had been watching and playing hockey ever since I could remember, the first draft I followed was in 2002 when Rick Nash was selected first overall. He became my favorite player so I rooted for the Jackets, they were the underdog expansion team and Nash carried them alone. My mom contacted the Jackets organization as well as Nash, and was able to get them to send a bunch of signed merchandise despite the fact we lived in a whole nother country. I went to a Jackets vs Canucks game and during warmups Nash spotted me and skated over to the bench and in the area where players go to enter the tunnel he talked to me and signed my jersey.
In 2011 my mom had just beaten inflammatory breast cancer (40% 5-year survival rate now, I believe it was lower at the time) and right after beating it she got diagnosed with a brain hemorrhage and was told she was going to die. She took me on a trip to New York before that happened in case I never would've got to see it with her, I had always wanted to go. It was during a huge winter storm, I believe JFK was actually closed down like a few days before we arrived because of all the snow. Walking down 5th Ave with all the snow was just the most beautiful sight, and coincidentally my hometown Canucks were in town to play the Rangers during this trip. We bought tickets last minute and went to the game, it was a 1-0 shutout for Henrik Lundqvist. I was still a Jackets fan at the time but there was this aura about MSG that this was a special place. Seeing all the history. Gave me feelings I‘d never experienced at GM Place/Rogers Arena.
I had a pretty rough upbringing; my father passed away when I was 1 year old, one of my best friends got murdered when she was 15. Some people talk about being the first in their family to go to college, I wasn’t only the first in my family to graduate high school, I was the first in my family to even GO TO high school. And I grew up in Surrey, which is the crime/gang capital of Canada and ranks top 10 in the US for crime, once had the title of “car theft capital of North America”. Hockey was always an escape for me. Both playing and watching it made me feel as if all of my problems in real life didn’t exist, so I liked cheering for a team from a different place and imagining I didn’t grow up in some of the circumstances I did. I’ve always had a strong affinity for New York and then in 2012 Rick Nash was coincidentally traded to the Rangers, which was too perfect, I instantly switched my allegiance from the Jackets to the Rangers.
Though Nash did eventually get traded to the Bruins for a short-lived tenure, I couldn’t bring myself to cheer for any team but the Rangers. The runs from 2012-2016 were such emotional rollercoasters and made me form an attachment to the Rangers that I’ve never felt for anything else. When Marty St. Louis’s mother passed away and all the Rangers went to her funeral together to support him, us coming back from those 3-1 series deficits, him scoring that goal on Mother’s Day, and the overtime winner against his hometown team.
The next year with Zuccarello’s terrifying head injury and how this team just continuously rallied around each other's hardships. How so much of this team had all the odds stacked against them, Lundqvist going from barely getting drafted in the 7th round to having a hall of fame career, Zucc going undrafted and being the little engine that could. There’s something special about this team. It also doesn’t hurt that whenever my Canuck fan family & I banter back and forth I can always rub ‘94 in their face despite the fact I wasn’t yet born at the time
Excellent post. Georgiev's issue was never physical. I guess his positioning isn't always the best but he has talent. He just is terrible upstairs. He probably circled this game on his calendar and we knew he'd play his best and play well.
The other thing is because he's a scumbag. The least likable player ever on the Rangers. A mix of a terrible player and an even worse human being.

I…I feel like this team has been the better team in basically every game they’ve played so far but the bed wetters on this board have been melting down non stop.
I should probably know better than to think PGTs won’t be filled with wild game to game overreactions but I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
