GDT: ECSF: Game 5 - New York Rangers vs Carolina Hurricanes, 7pm ET, ESPN

[The New Russian Five]

They're playing like this is a throwaway game up in Rochester!

 

[INWOODBLUE]

Carolina by not scoring is allowing Rangers to stay in the game. Rangers need to take advantage, jump on the early in the 2nd period.

 

[GAGLine]

Roslovic reminds me of Matt Cullen. Really fast but can't consistently make plays at that speed.

 

[17futurecap]

I thought we had our fair share of chances, PP was dreadful, but don’t think it was as bad as everyone is making it seem.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Looks like another f***ing Rangers team that falls apart in the post season. They are not seriously looking to win this series. 3-0 was good enough for them.

 

[DoTheBlue]

I cant believe rempe wasn't assessed a penalty the period. The whole system is outta whack.

 

[gabevh3]

Deangelo is the kind of guy who starts that scrum to try to goad Rempe into a penalty, but then gets too fired up and takes a penalty himself.

Was gonna say He should fight Vincenzo but not worth it for us ...we need another Italian lol

 

[Captain Monglobster]

Call 911 somebody stole the Rangers legs.

 

[Jauffre]

Have to think Lavi rips them. We'd better see a great last 40 mins, like in game 4.

Hopefully a W though.

 

[DialUp]

Only real problem that has to be addressed is the constant pinching.

 

[CasusBelli]

Very nervous, weird period.

The pregame body language said it all. Their guys were way more pumped than we were. They looked like coked up polar bears chugging Red Bulls about to jump into a frozen lake to get a seal.

 

[INWOODBLUE]

I cant believe rempe wasn't assessed a penalty the period. The whole system is outta whack.

Don't worry, you won't be seeing Rempe again. Hopefully,

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

Well in this case, the first unit couldn't enter the zone

Exactly, they’re out there to score. And Trouba is on the unit

 

[duhmetreE]

Trouba is a major problem and Lavi throws him out there way too much

 

[Brother Mouzone]

Wennberg on the power play just gave me AIDS

 

[jerseyjinx94]

The officials are terrible I’m sorry, I know the Rangers have a good PP but like guys, you gotta call hooks and interference when it disrupts a scoring chance. I get it you don’t want to call everything it’s the playoffs but they’re just gonna keep holding interfering and hooking if the refs don’t call it

 

[gabevh3]

powerplay was only interested in exchanging rush chances with the penalty kill. bizarre.

looking like they did early in the season when they had a drought.

 

[hi]

If the Rangers lose this series Dolan might tell the NHL to host the draft at the STRATosphere!

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

That period was fine. Everyone is so dramatic. We lead expected goals but it’s close. Canes have been a….first period team. We tend to get better as the game goes on.

 

[Machinehead]

I thought we had our fair share of chances, PP was dreadful, but don’t think it was as bad as everyone is making it seem.

It didn't seem that bad but I didn't know what the f*** was going on for 15 minutes of it.

Kenny: "Burns has the puck..."

Me: "OH f*** BURNS HAS THE PUCK!!!!"

 

[mrmovies779]

Can't retrieve dump ins on the pp,you won't have much success.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Gonna state the obvious but the PP needs to be better

 

[CasusBelli]

Rangers are a later period team.

Carolina also shoots its load very early. Smash, grab, hold and counter is their MO.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Only real problem that has to be addressed is the constant pinching.

Exactly. Rangers d was full Rongo that period. Way too many dumb pinches and odd man rushes

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Don't worry, you won't be seeing Rempe again. Hopefully,

Yeah he’s gonna play about a minute the rest of the way so no need to worry there
