Nothing happened, people were in here saying the Motte hit wouldn’t have happened if Reaves dressed.

Reaves is one of if not the worst forwards in the league, the 4th line now stinks again.

and with that useless plug rooney now it’s even worse

absolutely no luck skill at all between those two

We need Chytil back to bump Reaves out. I'm glad Gallant sees that Reaves and Nemeth are struggling. the 4th line with Reaves just becomes useless and a huge liability. Anyone but Reaves. We really need Kravtsov over as an insurance policy.

Ugh. Great 1st period. It seemed like momentum changed after goodrow went out briefly. I thought there was a lot of open ice in the 1st but none in the 2nd half of the game though. Igor would probly say he should have saved one or two of those. 50 for kreider!
 
Felt the Rangers had a really good first and the Canes adjusted. Got better and better as the game went on.

Rangers will learn from this one. Canes play a skilled fast heavy defensive game. They have to beat them on the PP and cash in on the chances they get.

Make it tough on the goalie. Need to stay physical up front, Otherwise you need to shut them down like the last time they played them

50 wow

Watching KAM makes me so happy for him yet so depressed about Kakko and Laf at the same time.
Remember when the world was "laughing" at KAM at the WJC when Laf scored that beauty of a goal? They aren't even in the same ballpark right now in terms of impacting a game

When all is said and done Miller is going to be the biggest positive to come from this entire season. It looks like this team may have finally done the impossible and produced it's own franchise first pair D man.

played a decent game, KAM is a freak.

struggle for KAM at times last couple of years, but you can’t give up on athletes like that. He’s really putting it together, happy for him.

Yea how did he do that?

Honestly, when all 4 Canes line-up on the blue line for the PK, don't just dump it in: smack the ever living shit out of the puck.

If it hits a few Cane players, they won't be too eager to stand there next time.

Actually insane to think of what Laf and Kakko used to be perceived as compared to what they are now. Somehow both of them ended up as laughing stocks. Kakko was an NHL ready serious power forward with puck protecting abilities that were reminiscent of Peter Forsberg. Lafreniere was Jonathan Huberdeau that played with an edge and was an intense leader. Now Kakko is Georgiev 2.0 and Lafreniere is a silly goose

Carolina handed the Rangers their lunch in the 3rd period.

Seth Jarvis is a very impressive player. Carolina had him on the ice on the 4 on 4 in the middle of third period. Not bad for a player who just turned 20.

Carolina is a very good team. They lost in the conference finals to Boston in 2019. Lost to Boston in the bubble. They beat Nashville in the 1st round last season. They lost to TB.

Sometimes you have to lose in order to win.

They had him and Necas together 4 on 4 let that sink in.
Imagine Chytil and Kakko 4 on 4 in the third period??? Yeah in our dreams.

Drury's #1 priority in the off season is finding a better partner for Fox to play with. Lindgren's had a nice run here but he's a bottom half defenseman. He's weighing Fox down. Fox needs a big strong stay at home partner.

Correction - Drury should find a partner for Trouba, because Miller belongs on the top pair next to Fox.

well Laf still plays with an edge that's not good enough for you? You mean you actually want him to do more?

Hes absolutely not caught up with the speed of the game. I isolated him when watching and he skates a lot of circles while chasing the player/puck. Not assertive, not confident, not quick on his feet. I know some will say that he was injured, but the bottom line is that he is hurting that line, and being that this is a playoff team, whats best for him and the Rangers is that he sits down.

Everyone’s going to say he’s still recovering when he’s been playing like this his entire career

We are always 1 forward from having 3 functional lines. Add Kravtsov for that 3rd line insurance, unfortunate we lost Motte, really is. Goodrow needs to be on the 4th line.

This one was good loss. The guys got taste of high pressure checking. Should learn from this loss. Also the Canes are going to face one of Boston, Tampa in first round, which would be bloodbath. Meanwhile the Rangers will play Pissburg or Craps. Much easier opponents.

Our Big Boys once again got blanked in a tight, playoff game. PP came up empty.

There's a million ways to complain about this team. The GDT was filled with people just hoping they would compete with an obviously better opponent tonight. They did! Why so much angst!?!
