Post-Game Talk: Storm the Weather

[Clown Fiesta]

This team is special. They’ve bucked every Ranger trend over the last 15 years. We beat a relatively unproven goalie in the first round. Which never happens. Swept a team. Won a 2OT game at home? Like what is this witchcraft.

 

[Machinehead]

So ridiculously ballsy for this team to blow that lead and just come out and win it in under two minutes.

It starts with the leadership.

When Chris talks about habits, I f***ing believe him. The guy is a total pro.

Shoutout to Trouba too. Annoys the shit out of me as a player, but by all accounts, loved in the room.

And Quick, who has added a ton of Cup experience and been vocal in this run.

Goodrow has raised his game.

Great leaders on this team.

My girlfriend is almost 13 weeks pregnan, our son is a f***ing troll (her nausea is next level) and I've woken her for the 2nd time in 3 nights.


To be fair, she did not ask me if they won tonight. She simply opened the door and said "yay!" then closed it and went back to sleep.

You will not sleep 9 straight hours for the next 4 years. It's a magical time. Enjoy it.

 

[UnSandvich]

This is what I’m f***ing with

Polished off my Yamazaki 18 during the double OT game the other night. Probably not the best use of it but i give zero f***s.

f*** yeah my guy

I'm not losing wood at all

I thought Wennberg played a hell of a game again.

He is the glue of that line and the bottom six.

So many little things he does to keep the structure of the game consistent.

Defensively he was impeccable

He just retrieves pucks. It’s honestly impressive how often he gets a puck from a battle for a guy who isn’t overly large. I really like him with Kakko and Chytil

 

[Lone Ranger]

What a win! What a team!

 

[17futurecap]

No. He's still wearing a no-contact jersey from what I heard today.

Yea, I don’t mean this round, hopefully the Rangers finish this Saturday, and it’s going to be another long break with good rest and practices, he might put himself in play.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Kreider might not have the C on his jersey but there's zero doubts he speaks like a captain to the media at all turns.

There's gotta be a way in this day and age to get a video tattooed on you

[McRanger92]

Igor is the perfect matchup against them.

There's something to be said for generating a lot of volume. It's not nothing.

But they're up against a goalie that stops everything he has a chance at.

Hank said it, when you’re only throwing crap at Igor it only makes him stronger

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Wait, we beat Carolina without scoring a PP goal? Lead 3-0 in the series? Better check in on hockey media at large, they must be questioning their very existence right now.

 

[DialUp]

Rangers didn't really make many mistakes, the factors leading to the tying goal probably.

Carolina really has to be frustrated. Rangers are resilient against this team my goodness gracious.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Too bad Laf didn’t get an assist on breads winner, that was a nice rim job

 

[Do you want ants]

Hearing the life sucked out of their fans on that goal was worth the trip. The false hope they were given and then just ripping it all away. You could hear a pin drop. It was epic.

 

[NYR Viper]

Anyone surprised Rempe wasn’t right next to Wheeler on the glass?

 

[2Leetch_94]

I'm not losing wood at all

Might want to give old Dr Oz a call.

 

[Machinehead]

Hank said it, when you’re only throwing crap at Igor it only makes him stronger

Hank was the same way.

He was the worst on the rare occasions we gave him nothing to do.

The more work he got, the more he got in a groove.

 

[CLW]

This is very true. A mediocre goalie will eventually have an easy one slip through. This is why Carolina is so good during the regular season. They shoot the puck from everywhere, even bellow the goal line. And it works during the RS because most teams don't have elite goalies, and they just shoot insane ammounts.

Brind'Amour has coached the skill game out of his kids and made them play meat head hockey. 2-3 seasons ago I thought they were on a good path but RBA's idea of hockey is too simplistic (like so many coaches).

Kreider's shorthanded goal was a real dagger that knocked a lot of the remaining stuffing out of the Canes. Yes, they scored with their goalie pulled but you could tell the Canes, for all their huffing and puffing, struggles to believe.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Remind them that championships are built on sacrifice.

(Hope everyone's doing alright and your wife doesn't have the strength to kill you yet)

She will, in due time. I'm enjoying a bourbon and a cigar to celebrate this win and my final moments before she ends me

 

[bbny]

I had real difficulty narrowing this poll down to just 3.

Went Panarin/Igor/Trocheck, but wanted Kreider for picking us off the mat with that shortie and Laffy for clutching out and having what could have been the game winner.

 

[Kords]

Never wanna look too far ahead, but worth noting that the Canes are probably the best team in the Rangers way to the big prize. That they are up 3 to zip is just amazing. Love this team.

 

[NYR Viper]

Too bad Laf didn’t get an assist on breads winner, that was a nice rim job

I think it was switched to give him the assist

 

[KennyWu]

Fun story time.

Took the wife out for sushi for her birthday (I hate sushi). Halfway through the third she says "let's go back to the bar and catch the end".

Mrs. Wu, what can I say

 

[bmoak]

The team that paid heavily is down 3-0 and the team that went bargain shopping is up 3-0.

Just saying.

How much did Carolina give up to get Jake the Snake, Kuznetsov, etc.
