Does anybody have a gif of Reaves clobbering Carter, I thought I saw it or is it in the highlights?

In all honesty, I'm fairly certain he did. Unfortunately I seen it far too much coaching minor hockey, Crosby checked a lot of boxes for me. Even in game 7 when he was digging on Igor's scoop and Lindgren had to muscle Crosby off - Crosby had this glassy but startled look on his face. I was legit concerned.
When you suffered previous concussions, most times it don't take much for the next one. Just the right scenario.
Just my opinion based on what I saw, not a professional on the matter obviously
But please understand, from the bottom of my blue heart pumping blue blood through my veins, I'm so glad we beat that POS franchise. Everything here on out for me is pure, pure gravy.

I think Shesty stops that breakaway if Key just let him go. Looked to me like Shesty was assuming Rodrigues was going down and bracing himself for the impact. Dude is completely money on breakaways.

I’m still not sure why this team stopped pummeling that kid into submission after game 1. They were crushing him every shift, clearly part of the game plan, and it was working. Very weird to see them laying off subsequently.
He coughed it up every time they did.
He did this in the regular season too. I don't know wtf happened after that period because they came out on fire and then never did it again for the rest of the series.
He was terrible yesterday, but it wasn't because they were hitting him.

If there ever was something that gave me a vivid image of reality...
Well done. Holy shit.

100% agree, and that game 7 OT goal comes with a significant price tag. I'll write that cheque a million times over.

No need to qualify your fandom, we're usually on the same page. I also noticed his eyes as well during that scrum & commented on it last night. I had that same thought that I was legit concerned for his well being, as much as I extremely dislike him an opponent. I had been reluctant on the diagnosis, but when the team "confirmed" a concussion, I was paying more attention.In all honesty, I'm fairly certain he did. Unfortunately I seen it far too much coaching minor hockey, Crosby checked a lot of boxes for me. Even in game 7 when he was digging on Igor's scoop and Lindgren had to muscle Crosby off - Crosby had this glassy but startled look on his face. I was legit concerned.

However, I keep circling back to the fact that if a hit that light concussed him on Wednesday, he shouldn't have been out there at all for the rest of the season or maybe ever again. If it's true, it was extremely reckless on his part & the team's part to play on Sunday if it was risky enough to not play him on Friday. That's why I keep questioning if it was more gamesmanship to create false outrage. It doesn't really matter at this point...except to Cindy & his long term health.

If I remember correctly, didn’t the penguins lose to the Islanders after having a 3-0 lead in the series, please correct if I am wrong

Definitely, hard to get a clean look on what is going to happen in that scenario as a goalie. Shesty was telescoping back too aggressively though. Like you said too, my money is that Shesty stops that all day if it was an absolute clean break for Rodriguez.
thanks
Just couldn’t remember when it happened
couldn't have happened to a nicer team, the only thing there was that it was the Islanders
Does anyone else feel a bit less enthused than in 2015 after the Stepan goal? I feel like that year the league was wide open and this year I just don't know if we have enough to beat Carolina that are our worst matchup possibly in the entire league. In 2014 we caught a break with Montreal beating Boston, wish Boston did that to Carolina. Anyway, I guess it's house money but it would be nice if that magical first round turned into a cup this year.
I don’t think we’re winning the cup. I’m ecstatic to be here though. I was really worried that the kids experience was about to be ended in 5 games. All I wanted was to force games 6 and 7. Getting at least another 4 games against a high caliber opponent will do wonders for this team. It’s not our turn, but this is the beginning of what will hopefully be the next decade.
I was definitely hoping Boston would have been able to pull it off. Either way, the rest of the way won't be easy regardless.

We didn't catch shit in 14. If Chicago beat LA the cup would have been in MSG.
PIT has a knack for pulling these guys out of thin air. Though, I suppose Crosby can make any player look that good.

Yeah I actually thought they could/should win it all in 2015. Winning that series felt legitimately like being one step closer to getting that Cup.
I feel like we should have won this Pitt series but house money is a good description. I would say I do feel less exuberance.

Why not us?
That's the thing about hockey - you never know who's going to win. Say we beat Carolina and have to play Tampa Bay in the Conf. Final. We've done well against Tampa all year (which I know is meaningless) but we seem to match up well with them. Then say somehow that Colorado loses and we have to play the Final vs Calgary or Edmonton. We have a shot if things fall into place.

If the Rangers have any hope of advancing they'll need to find some structure, fast. They were playing preseason defense against the Penguins and it took a historic group of come-back games to beat what is probably the weakest team in the East.
So much room for improvement but will we see it this season? I'm not super confident. If we manage to take 1 or even 2 games from the Canes it'll be a massively successful year for the crew. They should have another decade worth of chances with this core

Yes, they have to improve for sure to advance to the Conf. Finals. Pittsburgh was skating in circles at times around the Rangers. But I'm hopeful the team gained some confidence after round 1 and that that confidence will carry through. The Rangers were 1-3 vs Carolina during the regular season, but two of those losses were decided by 1 goal (not counting Aho's empty netter in last matchup).

Just enjoy the ride. All the pressure is on Carolina and the Rangers are a confident group with a better goalie. We may lose but I see no reason why we cant win.
