Igor had issues securing the puck on saves. Georgiev let in the softest fucking goal for a 4-4 game. Mika needs to show the fuck up. Trouba and Nemeth have been awful.
This was the triple OT game coming back to bite us. Igor handled a lot of shots in that game and had a lot of ice time. That's going to show up at some point and it did. Gallant did the smart thing taking Igor out after the 1st period. The question is how you further help him recover before tomorrow's game.
a tad eary for this. but... i never felt at any ponit this year we were a true threat to make a finals. its a good team. at its best, even very good. but the team doenst play its best very often. very patchy in performance.
I don’t think Jarry is going to play at all this series. If he does play I think a potential game 7 would be the spot and he’ll be coming in ice cold. The Rangers have no excuse to win this series. They need to tighten up on D and stop allowing Pittsburgh to just take control of the slot AND stop being so sloppy with passes. Control the puck.
One of the young guys *has* to step up and become a major threat. The Penguins have been shadowing Zibanejad and Kreider knowing that shutting them down shuts down the 5-v-5 offense. With the officials swallowing their whistles as so often happens in the playoffs things have gotten grim.
The "kid" line is playing well; they need to have more minutes. Kakko generated a goal and one or two other high percentage chances. Chytil should've had a GW goal in game 1. It's difficult for them to put up points when they aren't on the PP. I do agree though, they need that line to score if they're going to win playoff games.
The only line showing up for this team is the kid line. The first line has done NOTHING all series. oh and send Nemeth to the sun
Bright side is that Kakko, Laffy, and Miller show up in the playoffs. Downside is that the veterans they paid suck ass in the playoffs - looking at you Mika
Stop the fucking excuses. I called this shit over a month ago. The Rangers are not even a top 5 team. And according to Brad, this was our best shot at a cup.
No, they’re not, but there’s no reason to think that this team couldn’t beat fucking Pittsburgh with Louie fucking Domingue in net. There has been no commitment to defense this entire series outside of the first period in game 1. If they committed to D, this series would be 3-1 the other way.
