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

Canes............have been the better team 4 out of 5 games.

No they havent.

 

[Ezekial]

6-1 with Rempe in the lineup

 

[BLONG7]

I am shocked by the Rangers lack of physicality in this game. Injuries building up, or just no desire to grind them down?

They realize they are shooting themselves in the foot, wasting games right?

The choke is on..................can they complete it?

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Weird series. Carolina has been the better team every game and at one point trailed 3 games to zero. Not surprised to see the series tightening up.

 

[JaegerDice]

That's 2.

Let's see if Carolina can win one at home and make things REALLY interesting.

Canes............have been the better team 4 out of 5 games.

I'd say Even for 2 Canes for 2 and 1 for the rangers.. but scoreboard is how we choose.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Two more wins for Carolina.

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

Rangers in the final 4, congrats. I knew they could do it.

Seed of doubt firmly planted in the Rangers now.

Welcome to the New York Rangers. They wouldn't have it any other way.

 

[Ugene Magic]

The Ramger's big boys going silent.

 

[authentic]

No they havent.

Shots bro. Shots.

Carolina has got to stop turning pucks over at their blueline on the PP. Actually they do it 5 on 5, too.

The PP really sucks, they need to figure it out because it's costing them games.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

UH OH

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

That 2014 reverse sweep was absolutely bonkers. I've never seen a team or goalie get absolutely lit up for the 1st 3 games then just flip the switch and utterly dominate the rest of the series. The Kings activated Kill Mode out of the blue.

 

[BLONG7]

No they havent.

Yup.................they have.
No worries, we will agree to disagree.
Collars getting tight...

 

[Chaos2k7]

Tying to sit on 1 goal leads for full periods in the playoffs is a disaster waiting to happen.

Don't care who your goaltender is.

 

[GoldenSeal]

Rangers are going from a leaf on a wind to a shrimp on a barbie, Wash-style.

 

[Ducks DVM]

I never leave a game early, and the times it has paid off make up for the many more times it hasn’t 1000%

Just seems odd to me unless you have a legit emergency.

Their defensemen looked super passive on every goal.

Is that what happened?

I recall that the series was closer than wins and losses reflected throughout, and the big change was that Quick went from not being able to making a save to being great, and Niemi went from being good to not being able to make a save.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

This is going 7

If it's 4 or more goal difference with under 2 minutes left I might consider leaving, but 3-1 with that much time left was kind of premature IMO

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

I think in this series Rangers need all the speed they can get on the defense. Dress the fastest Dmen available and scratch the slowest. they look like traffic cones out there.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Really surprised by the Rangers lack of offense. They simply aren't creating enough at 5 on 5.

Tough to say being 5 games into the series but if Carolina wakes up on special teams, real good chance to see the reverse sweep happen here.

Just not impressed with how the Rangers are playing offensively.
