GDT: ECSF: Game 1 - New York Rangers vs Carolina Hurricanes, 4pm ET, ESPN

[T REX]

That was as soft a goal as you will see

Wow. Mega soft

 

[kingsholygrail]

Definitely an "I owe everyone a beer" goal.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Rangers sure do get to face some shitty goaltenders

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Andersen losing in solidarity with the Leafs

If Kochetkov doesn't start the next game BrindAmour should be fired

[Richter915]

Breadman!!

 

[BMOK33]

Andersen might actually not start game 2 after this performance

 

[Jussi]

Andersen melting in the playoffs like snow in the Spring.

 

[Richter915]

What was the crowd chanting there?

 

[Banjo Cat]

That Zamboni driver would have made that save.

 

[Siddi]

Where is the scary Freddie? @IronCladCane

 

[HANK30]

Game over

 

[Richter915]

I feel like Andersen should have had that one.

That's what's great about the goal, we're in his head now. He's gonna start doubting himself.

Game over

ay lets not jinx

 

[Mobiandi]

I keep waiting for the Canes to look like a playoff threat but it's the same story every spring

I think its just that their secondary scoring is not all that good and they've had lousy goaltenders.

 

[NYI365]

Carolina's gonna have to figure out how to perform on the road in the playoffs if they have any hopes of making it to an SCF.

Andersen STINKS

Old, shitty, washed up, has-been, injury case, who only seems to play well in his advancing years because Carolina makes him look better. And still, sometimes he hasn't even played all that well there..... He's pretty much been done since Toronto, other than a one-off up renaissance in 2021-2022.

Yeah, he was really good this year, but what did he play? 19 games? I find it hard to believe he would have sustained those numbers playing 40 games. Then again, him playing 40 games is pretty hard to imagine also. He would have given himself second degree burns from sharting in his pants one morning and went on IR for 2-3 months because of it.

That looked like the Raanta softies from game 6 in 2022. And he looked like a beached whale on the third goal.

They gotta seriously consider Kochetkov. I think he's the better goalie. The Andersen hot streak to end the regular seems to be over and he was showing signs of it towards the end of that Islanders series.

Granted, the Canes need to be able to kill some penalties or this is gonna be over fairly quick.

They're the new Capitals and if it wasn't for the Leafs playoff failures, this team would get lambasted to high hell

 

[Bleedred]

Wow. Mega soft

Reminded me of Raanta back in 2022 in game 6 at MSG. He let in a couple of those and choked that game away when they had a 3-2 series lead and could have ended it that night.

 

[BMOK33]

Carolina's gonna have to figure out how to perform on the road in the playoffs if they have any hopes of making it to an SCF.

This is only reason I could see them making a coaching change after 24-25 if they do not make the final. Even if the goaltending is a big problem if they keep losing on the road you figure eventually something will happen

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Rangers sure do get to face some shitty goaltenders

Meh, at some point, they're just clinically finishers.

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

Game 1 not even finished. They’ll be back IF we win this one lol

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Jason Bateman? More like Jason Caveman
