Love to see that Fox was spammed against the Staal line who did nothing.

People get on Fox and say he can't go. I do think he's banged up. I don't think it's catastrophic.

If he's a bit quiet, it's because he has a job to do.

He's defending at an extremely high level. He's been scored on 3 times in 6 games while taking 1 penalty.

He’s not 100% but he still led all Ranger defenseman in ice time and had a great pinch and pass on the Laf goal. Also may have broke Jarvis collarbone with a hit.

Video starts with talk about Shesterkin's brilliance.

Canes fans were crying about an elbow to the face on this hit meanwhile Jarvis is holding his shoulder region lol.

Not a broken collarbone though, he wouldn't have come back if that were the case. His shoulder is 100% jacked up though.

This guy is such a pro.

Big, emotional " they score!" and then he let's it cook. He let's the fans speak. And then when you're getting used to that noise he comes back in and hits you with the signature call. Then he lets the goal song cook. And then finally comes in with the analysis.

Saying so much by saying very little, and knowing exactly when to speak. An incredible call.

Episode 3 "The Wrap-Around" - Kaapo learns a difficult lesson from Coach Lavi. Someone from Kaapo's past reappears. Tensions rise when Kaapo and Filip both vie for Emily's affection. Alexis wants to buy a new juicemaker.

I see you've read an episode preview or two. Also made me legit lol

Listen, they have proven one thing so far this year: The people that were screaming for another retool and rebuild have damaged their credibility big time. And that's putting it nicely.

To be fair, people were screaming retool the year we went to the SCF and the tried to justify the their rational with the fact that we lost in the finals.

 

[Levitate]

maybe I'm dumb, I dunno, but there's a whole lotta stuff out there now about how the 'Canes were the better 5v5 team and they feel confident they got their game back there and everything but when it boils down to it, they got a bunch of low percentage shots on net and act like that's dominating 5v5 play.
If they're gonna be over confident that their 5v5 is so much better I can't help but wonder/hope that's going to bite them in the ass.

e: even their coach is just saying "we need to take away shesterkin's eyes so he can't see the puck" as the ky to their power play, which means they just want to screen him and blast pucks...same shit they always do. No creativity

Well that’s just stupid, just like Michael Kay. Worst announcer in baseball.

they forecheck like crazy throw a lot on net, but they dont create high end chances all that often. the guentzel goal last night was a great chance created but how many others did they create? most of their goals in this series have been on deflections from point shots. they possess the puck in the ozone on the perimeter for half the game doing little, but tire out an opponent and everyone is like they dominate!!!!

Eh.

There is definitely something cool about the "This one will last a lifetime!" call by Sam and "The Rangers win the Cup!!" call by Gary Thorne. There is something cool about "Stepan! In Overtime!" by Doc.

McDonough calling this one will take away a little of the nostalgia and replayability for me.

Sorry to hear that.

Only the NHL goes out of its way to intentionally remove excitement from the sport. Rempe plays a style the league isn't interested in marketing, hence they've decided somehow this kid is bad for the game. I feel bad for the kid because you can see he's tried to adjust to the target on his back by not being as aggressive, but it's obvious they've actively decided to neuter him.

He can still be an effective player going forward if he works on his skating & get stronger on his skates. Right now he goes down easier than a bowling pin....but now is a good time to take him out of the lineup.

The Playoffs is not the place to learn.

Haha, I think all of these charts are user unfriendly and hard to follow.

trouba shudnt have raised his arms after necas bailed out of a hit so that he could have face planted on the boards. ill give the benefit of doubt to necas for simply losing his balance there but if hes ducking and sliding out of hits along the board then hes a scumbag. so f***ing dangerous for a player to submarine another player on a hit.

Scumbag?

If someone is trying to pound you into oblivion, you would be an absolute moron if you didn't try to avoid the contact.

 

[chosen]

Trouba was definitely trying to hit Necas with his elbow. It was up before Necas ducked.

Trouba is extremely dirty. It's ok to admit it. I just don't care anymore. It's liberating.

Dirtiest Ranger since Ulf Samuelsson.

 

[Siddi]

Funny 32thoughts today.

To sum up, Trouba tried to kill a poor player who was falling down.

Rangers are divers.

Canes outplayed the Rangers both games.

Those dudes hate the Rangers so much it’s great.

Clowns. I had to turn it off.

 

[Kaapo di tutti capi]

Episode 4 "The Fresh Prince of Boxford, Massachusetts" - Concerned with their antics, Coach Lavi sends the boys to spend a summer with Uncle Chris. Things take an unexpected turn when Uncle Chris's very tall son challenges them to a game of Halo.

Episode 5 "It Only Hurts When I Rempe" - Things take a bizarre turn when the boys find out that Matt can only relieve himself while listening to REM. Tensions mount as pro and anti REM battle lines are drawn amongst the teammates. Machinehead saves the day by introducing Matt to his radical Rubik's Cube/Dream Theater therapy.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

I mean, if Trouba doesn’t leave his feet, he knees necas in the face sooooooooo

 

[TominNC]

I find it interesting how much some fans are invested in the announcers. Whether love for Sam, hate for ESPN or anyone else. I have the game on with the volume up and couldn't tell you who's saying what. I don't care. I'm watching the game. The general noise of the crowd adds to it. I don't need announcers to tell me there's an I-Gor chant, I can hear it. But if they say it, so what. I don't care about national announcers "favoring" the other team. I doubt they really are. Don't take it personally. I thoroughly enjoyed watching last night's game. If anyone's enjoyment was lessened because of a certain announcer. Well, sorry for you.

 

[Gordon Bombay]

Lol yup, took a couple off my TV and used them as a template

This is a great concept. Every game could be its own episode

Episode 6: “The Superman” - After watching the Captain “Superman” the kids train in learning super powers. Emily begins to feel insecure and violated now learning of Filip’s new “vision”. Alexis develops a nail biting habit.
