Man, record breaking season just to go out like this? Feels bad man.
At least we didn't blow a 3-1 lead or something. Still hurts though.

Moooooooom, the Rangers had 6 extra players, not fair!
It's been a pleasure, everyone. I'm just really sad now. I'm lost for words...

Our players just don't play playoff hockey with any consistency. Canes fans would pack the arena if we were even slightly dominant but we just play matchups and defer to the other team to set the pace in the playoffs. It doesn't take some genius fan to realize that.
Oh, and a fair warning to everyone on this board: I’m going to be right here all summer. You don’t even get a break from my nonsense lol

At least were not the Sharks or Capitals. It can always be worse.

This is going to sound harsh but we need to part ways with Raanta. He was serviceable and exceeded expectations but his best days are behind him and he isn’t reliable.

didnt even bother watching the game , then i look on tsn , 5-1 , friggin knew it , i dont blame raanta one bit, he SHOWED up , all the blame is to our GM not getting a goalie and defensemen , we could have had 2 cheap veteran for praticly nothing Halak and Chara , as far as Andersen , we can be on our disabled list with Gardiner` next year ,

Raanta is the only reason for 7 games. We scored 12 non ENG in a 7 game series and 4 of those were after the game was well past decided
sucks. freddie's injury is this year's great "what if?"
with him healthy i think he steals at least one in ny, we go to the ecf, and promptly ger vasi'd.
edit to add - not meant as a slight against raanta. he hit a wall in the last two, but the blame is on the players in front of him. i just think andersen might have had a complete robbery in him

Success isn't Dundo's priority, and I don't think anyone was arguing trade deadline moves would bring us that. But he's glad to have fans like you that make excuses for our poor playoff performances.
No thanks I’m good lol
Best days are behind him??
That was the first time in his career Raanta started 11 games in a row!
I’m not saying he’s the starter instead of Andersen next year, but I think they need to share the net more to keep both fresh for the postseason.

Honestly, going out like this sours the whole season for me. 4th year in a row the team just goes through the motions in the game they are eliminated. Jarvis and Raanta get run and we don't push back. All of our stars have been passengers and it caught up.
I don't care how good the team is in the regular season if they don't even put up a fight when their backs are against the wall in the playoffs. Going out like this again is just unacceptable for this group. Getting shelled 6-2 on home ice in Game 7 where the final score was closer than the play on the ice is embarrassing and completely overshadows the rest of the year. Each player should be ashamed of their effort not just tonight but in every road game of these playoffs.

I'm a Coyotes fan who's here as a guest and you don't see making posts like this. Have some tact.

As I mentioned he exceeded expectations and did great under the circumstances but not what we need long term. I hang these losses mainly on our s soft “stars” and lack of discipline

We had one of the longest playoff droughts in north american history, so we do.
And I really dont care because Tampa will win again.
Rangers fan coming in peace.
Hell of a series, you guys probably deserve better. Love the way you guys play, those first 4 games were a grind, tough checking, tight d, last 3 games a bit of an anomaly, some bad luck at the wrong time. Much love to you guys, looking forward to future battles.

Don't overreact. Aho going anywhere.
We need top 6 power forward, top 4 dman and some veterans.
