Post-Game Talk: I can Motte believe it

[SML2]

Watch the last 3 minutes and tell me how many zone exits were failed by bad KAM decisions.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Confidence was way too high on this board pre game we were never going to win.

 

[yrrebbor]

Wow, that sucks.

 

[Siddi]

Oh well.

 

[I Eat Crow]

That 2nd goal against cannot happen. Miller-Trouba lost this game.

The Rangers would do well to learn watching Carolina's puck support on the breakout and neutral zone. It's infuriating how many times I watched all 3 forwards go up ice once the Rangers defensemen got the puck back in the defensive zone. Kane started that shit on the game winner instead of supporting the break out. Makes me want to bang my head against the wall.

Trade Fox for Matthew

What the f*** am I gonna do better than Fox?


Oh… Matthews.

 

[The New Russian Five]

Don't think it was a terrible game for the rangers, but certainly wasn't their best either. Can't blame this game on Shesty. Pretty much stood on his head and 2 of the 3 goals were unstoppable and the other one was very high danger.

 

[ThirdEye]

Jeez what's with all of the Carolina ass kissing? We beat em up last time and I still think we win a series handily

 

[will1066]

were so slow

All they had to do was skate faster, be more patient and slowly but surely we got tired and started to cheat and get out of position and they pounced. The fact we can't handle better skating teams is concerning.

It's more puck management than purely speed. Sure, they're faster, but we stopped managing the puck

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Carolina is so boring

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

f*** Carolina, their knockoff Ranger jerseys and their no fans having team

 

[DuneGoon84]

We know how they play we just suck at making quicker decisions. We need to play much closer as a unit for quicker easy passes when they pressure

 

[DialUp]

This team is 100% capable of breaking through the Cane's strategy. Not worried. We should worry about getting to the point where we would play them in the PO. We have two new respected leaders in the room for the run.

 

[DudMan28]

Need defenseman that can makes passes to beat them and we only have one

 

[NYRfan39]

Also, Carolina played better than New York. Shesterkin made it look closer than it was. Canes really pressure well. Have to be quicker or dump in deep and beat them along the boards. Neutral zone the rangers can not get through with passes.
4th line great.
Kane has not impressed me at all... He plays very predictable. He needs time and space to be effective and the Canes arent giving him that space (or anyone)

 

[haveandare]

We had 30 shots and led most of the game by far. Carolina is a good team too. Not seeing the huge issues some are here. Top line started to find some room toward the end. A team playing aggressive man on man like that is giving up other opportunities, they need to find them more often

 

[Kupo]

It’s only Tuesday and my weekends f***ing ruined.

 

[effen]

Absolutely did. Absolute systems clinic

That's all they got. They did max effort all game and barely won. One trick pony.

No shit you're gonna win a ton of regular season games by cranking it to 100 and skating like you're going to be executed if you dont backcheck.

Game 5? 6? 7? They'll be skate themselves to death just like last year. Paper tiger.

 

[Machinehead]

Sometimes you just lose

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Gallant needs to stop galaxy brain everything and also learn how to change tactics mid game.

 

[bl02]

Watch the perfect pass Panarin makes to the goalie that allows the canes to break out for winning goal. Team is changing and he passes/shoots it right to Anderson giving them a free breakout while Rangers changing.

 

[I Eat Crow]

I'm sure the reactions will be sensible.

Thought we were fine till Carolina tied it, TBH. Wheels absolutely fell off after that. The Rangers pissed away three chances on the power play to put the game to bed.

 

[Circus86]

Mikkola-Schneider our best D pair tonight. Both were really solid.

 

[Riche16]

We got grounded into dust tonight and had no offensive zone time. Epic third period collapse.

Epic collapse started in the 2nd

 

[Rangerboy030]

Frustrating.

Miller really needs to stop doing dumb shit. We know he has skill, but he brainfarts way too often.
