Teach the defenders how to step so they don’t get a clean shot in every rush. Also Mika doesn’t deserve the time he gets. Gustafson is an idiot. You gotta man up and take the 5 on 3. Goes to show they don’t want to win. Winners see the arm and take the 5 on 3. We finally started playing playoff hockey the last 3 minutes when we HAD to score. Kakko Wennberg Roslivic the best line and it’s not even remotely close. Make Chytil Laffy and Trochek the first line, Mika and Kreider play third line minutes with Rempe or wheeler if he can play.
Rangers have to clean out a big part of the team in the off-season. Trouba, Wennberg, Wheeler, Gustaffson, Roslovic, Kakko, Ruhwedel, and yes, Zibanejad (buy out his contract, he just stinks in the playoffs), should all be gone. Incorporate Jones, Rempe, Edstrom, Brodzinksi, and Othmann more into the lineup, while also having the available cap space to get a free agent or two. This team needs smart players with speed and strength. Otherwise, it will be the same ol same ol for many years to come.
Florida rolled their fourth line two times in the third period and the Rangers did not and they got worn out and they did not use Matt Rempe , ridiculous! They deserve to lose exclamation point you cannot roll three lines at the end of the game! This is on the coaching staff this loss !!! If you want more speed you got to put Johnny B into the lineup use him on the fourth line !!!
What a F is going on with this team this series?! Where the hell is their greed for the victory? 3:2 in the series could be still fine, but they were overplayed each and every game here and Shesty is the only reason they got so far. We have very skilled stars in the regular, but in the playoffs they are playing like F schoolkids - afraid of a heat, loosing puck, no F killer instinct. It is time to grab your balls!!! LGR
Simply not good enough. Zibanejad, Panarin, Miller, Trouba, Fox, Gustafsson, Roslovic and Kakko are underperforming. Drury going soft at the deadline may have been a fatal mistake.
Please just get Trouba off this team. He just does everything wrong. Takes terrible penalties. Hes the reason why TB shifted that series 2 years ago in Game 3. Proving it again this playoffs. Should just play Jones over him.
Can't say I'd blame Igor for seeking a trade when his contract is up. I've loved this team my whole life but the fact is they're a boat anchor. If they blow this series I'm definitely taking at least one year off of following hockey. I'm older now and my heart can't take all of this disappointment.
Either PLAY Rempe or pencil in someone who’ll get more than a handful of shifts (and more than none in the last period of regulation), instead. Play Ruhwedel and Jones. Play Edstrom and Othmann: And, before you start using the sorry excuse that they’re inexperienced in the postseason, remember that, Kreider made his professional debut IN THE PLAYOFFS. Igor deserves better than this, and we fans who fill the seats, buy the merch, and are ripped off by streaming services, deserve more, too. You have THREE Assistant Coaches behind the bench. Surely, one of you can figure out what is going wrong directionally, and right its course before you’re sent packing to play golf ⛳️ 🏌️♀️
same team from 2022, recall? lost 4 in a row to lose that series. our top guys that series didnt show up either just like this. Drury needs to do a serious retool of this core.
I know they obviously have to say all this bullshit yo the media but does this team have any pride like my god why the fuck aren’t they mad they are getting slapped around in their own building this team is pathetic straight up frauds
Break up Mika and Kreids. Laffy to PP1. Not sure what game Lavi is watching, this team is getting beat on just about every puck. This team is too too soft.
Cooked, fried, baked, broiled, roasted, toasted, seasoned, and served. NY sports are a torturous heartbreaking head aching waste of life. Glimmers of hope just to be ripped away by crushing disappointment.Every.Time. And this team right here is one of the biggest examples. Every “star” but Igor and Fox are regular season merchants
Another failed season with superstar players (Mika, Panarin) that disappear in the playoffs and getting out coached game after game. Why doesn’t Laviolette just call players out and say we’re just not playing well enough. Really frustrating being a NY sports fan.
We need to take a page out of Carolina's and Floridas playbook and just be more direct, toss everything to the net, and crash the net. Half of Florida's goals came off of lucky bounces and yet we are trying to be cute with the puck.
