GDT: ECSF: Game 6 - New York Rangers @ Carolina Hurricanes, 7pm ET, TNT

[InfernoDaLuz]

When was the last time we lost 3 in a row?

Yes.

 

[Atax]

I think the culture changes if you replace Mika and Trouba with legitimate replacements.

Problem is, that’s not gonna happen.

Yep. He was a no show basically the entire regular season. Most of his points came from the team force feeding him shots on the PP. He's a glorified specialist at this point and a headcase at that.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

So our solution next game will be to hobble out Chytil and Wheeler im guessing

 

[irishlaxburger2]

When was the last time we lost 3 in a row?

We lost 4 in a row in January. Only time we lost 3 or more games in a row all year

 

[qwertyaas]

Nothing really in common. We played well against LA in every game but game 3. These last few games have been absolute dogshit.

That team never gave up. All heart and minimal skill.

This team is all skill and no heart.

Whom woulda thought, 10 years later this would be our complaint.

 

[Jauffre]

Put Quick in to get em going, give Igor the rest and don't shatter his confidence even more if Carolina keeps converting.

Mix up the 1st and 3rd lines, can't hurt.

 

[CasusBelli]

I’ve seen enough of everyone associated with this era of Rangers hockey. Tear it all down and start over with stars who will show up in the playoffs.

We lack intensity. That's the word I've been looking for this whole time. Look at our leaders. 93? No intensity. 20? I don't know where his went; he looks more like the jovial uncle now. 8? Your community contributions are appreciated, but a leader also needs to lead by example. This is not the right core. And if you're getting rid of the core, you might as well get rid of the ancillary pieces too. So, as you said, tear it down.

 

[Captain Lindy]

It was right after the Trocheck goal he makes another egregious turnover. Canes build up a ton of momentum its like the Trocheck goal never happened.

I got no joy whatsoever after he scored. I knew it wouldn't matter.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Lavi lost this team somewhere in this series.

I’m seeing a total lack of confidence and puck support in the offensive zone.

They face adversity and crumble. It’s the devils series all over again.

So it took less than 1 season for the core to tune out the coach. If this is the case, this is very concerning. Break up the core. The core is not coachable. Mentally weak and cracks under pressure

 

[Machinehead]

More balanced at forward, at least.

Wennberg, Kakko, Cuylle, Vesey, Goodrow aren't enough of a threat to score for this team to have good offensive balance.

We have Kreider, Zibanejad, Panarin, Trocheck, and Laf.

Cuylle scored at a halfway decent 5v5 rate for his minutes and has potential.

Roslovic, I wouldn't play on Hartford. Put him in a boat and sink the f***er.

Everyone else is an honest to God 4th liner. Too much dreck in the lineup.

People will only want to talk about #TheCore but the five guys I mentioned have 13 of 16 goals in this series.

I'm open to moving one of them if it's necessary to round things out, but blowing them up isn't it. The top guys are really not the problem here.

We won seven in a row with Zibanejad and Trocheck on a 2PPG pace. That wasn't lasting. Nobody is giving you that outside of the two f***s on Edmonton.

 

[Boris Zubov]

It's funny seeing a new team like Vegas and in five years they win the cup. We can't sniff one for over 30 years. In almost a hundred years have a grand total of four.

So depressing...Ugh.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

I think the culture changes if you replace Mika and Trouba with legitimate replacements.

Problem is, that’s not gonna happen.

I think it might happen with trouba. only has a limited ntc. we’re stuck with mika long term.

 

[Captain Monglobster]

Reminds me of the Devils series last year.

It’s the same bullshit.

This team is in their own heads.

Let’s see if the coach makes any difference.

Hopefully he dresses Peca and Housley for the 3rd

 

[Messrules11]

This is the most New York Rangers shit I've ever seen

Go 7-0 to start the playoffs only to blow a 3-0 lead in the second round against a team of neanderthals that shoot the puck from behind their own net.

Even if they win game 7, what an absolutely embarrassing black mark for this franchise

If they win game 7 I will forgive and forget

 

[AirGut]

i put on my Kreider jersey and then he took a penalty..

 

[duhmetreE]

Games not over. Get the next goal

Laffy time

 

[jaywills1020]

They’ve lost all confidence and they don’t have the fight in them to get past it. I don’t see them pulling through this to win the series.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

"If you told me in September we'd be forcing a game 7 against the second best team in the league, I'd be pretty happy!" - Chris Kreider in an hour

Hopefully that’s Drury motivation to trade his useless ass in the offseason. Sell high, will be nice to have Laf on the PP1 next season.

 

[bl02]

Put Quick in to get em going, give Igor the rest and don't shatter his confidence even more if Carolina keeps converting.

Mix up the 1st and 3rd lines, can't hurt.

Agreed. Have to put Quick in. Not blaming Igor we just can't have them put up any more on Igor.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Don't let these donkies off the hook, its on the players, all of them to be better.

 

[Crease]

The Rangers are corporate philanthropists masquerading as hockey players.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

If they win game 7 I will forgive and forget

If they want to win game 7 Trouba needs to drop back to the 3rd pair and 55 needs to be scratched.

 

[TriFF51]

I can't get over the luck and timing on that Martinook play. He dove like 15 feet out and just stayed slowly sliding the entire way to the net. Feels like that was probably a stupid thing to do and yet it worked out to the millimeter lol. I'd also like to see the overhead shot of that. Surprised there was virtually no break to look closer.

 

[will1066]

Imagine not getting a shot off on a breakaway?

Not excusing him, but he's been harassed nonstop and a couple of plays should've been whistled but the refs have let them play after game 3

 

[Atax]

Games not over. Get the next goal

Laffy time

Can I have whatever your taking.
