ESPN all night: "Panthers are so good in the third" (Rangers have the best record in the league when tied after two periods this year) "Panthers are so comfortable in 1-goal games" (Rangers have the best record in one goal games this year: 23-6 overall and 12-1 at home) "Panthers are a great overtime team" (Rangers have the best overtime record in the league this year: 11-1 overall and 5-0 at home) You would think the Panthers were playing a wildcard team the way ESPN goes down on them...
You won who cares and Fla hasn’t loss a OT playoff until tonight. Fla has the best road record in hockey. Fla is not afraid of those stats you just threw out there and in fact won game 1 and at the end of that day a win is all that matters
I’m used to it at this point. Ray hates the rangers and basically spends most broadcasts dismissing their success or talking about the other team. I’m just thankful this isn’t the pens or ESPN would be giving a full old fashioned to the pens all broadcast.
💯 was thinking the same thing. At first I was like oh dam. No sean tonight?? Then as the game went on he won me over. This is who ESPN needs to have calling the rest the the Stanley cup finals games
While I know Paul Maurice had to keep his players on the bench to review the potential high stick on the OTHER goal I don't think watching and heading that Garden celebration was motivating or inspiring. Has to bring good vibes to Florida.
As good as the team is, if we can get Mark from 30 years ago on this team, we would have an even better chance to win. His leadership was important and why we won 30 years ago.
I was born because of that 94 team i ha d studied them consistently. This is the same exact team. Great goaltending great defense with capable scorers. Kreider is messier, mark my words ill be having my own son if they win this year.
Lifelong Rangers fan here...since 1971. Stemkowski and Pat Hickey were my faves as a kid. Carolina outplayed the Rangers and so are the Panthers. Rangers arent physical enough. Too many Nancy-Boys that put up good stats in the regular season and then disappear when the going gets tough (Panarin/Miko at the head of the list). Miller is Huge but plays def like Willie Huber...should be throwing his body around but he hardly hits anybody. Man to Man the Rangers arent the Panthers equal...especially in Playoff mode. Sorry but the Rangers got lucky to get past Carolina and I think they'll lose in 6. Panthers are just too fast, too big and they dont play like Diva's. Hoping for the best but eventually your luck runs out. I do believe whoever wins this series will be the Champs.
This Panther team is tough…..Rangers need to get more power plays to have more open ice. Florida is DOMINATING 5 on 5 play because there feels like no space on the ice.
His point is Florida is dominating the play, yes you got 2 tonight but open your eyes bro. Florida the first two games have outplayed the Rangers. Let’s see if the Rangers can keep up with FLA physicality cause they are not going to let up
@@gperezniners4949 @ram-kingoftrucks my point is that floridas defense is really tough to break in 5 on 5. The rangers have a better chance to score if there is more space to operate.
@@gperezniners4949 Just look at the scoreboard. First game you got one soft goal, a gifted goal, and an empty netter. You may be aggressive but that takes a lot out of a player. By game 5 or 6 it's gonna take its toll . Panthers will be gassed. Rangers are more patient and more skilled.
@@kevinrothe361 will see.. there formula works and they do not get tired. Not that I have seen. Rangers are a finesse team. Panthers will go back to that hard floor checking system when it’s all said and done and that will take a toll on the Rangers.
It's kinda easy who's actually going to watch a Panthers/Dallas cup, nobody that's who...time to watch the league manipulate the outcome, cuz they know Edmonton/N.Y will bring the ratings.
Youre clueless if you think laf looked bad He was responsible for the trocheck goal big hit on verhaeghe to separate puck from man leading to a breakdown The worst player for the rangers was zibanjead 6 giveaways, 4 on power plays dude was killing the rangers all night. Rangers are gonna need him to beat Florida.
One of my worst nhl game that I had the displeasure to watch so far hockey is no fun that way...BTW Not a fan of either team...Carolina with a better goalie wins against New York Anderson has to go he crumbles in playoffs again and again...
They need to find a new analyst because Messier isn't it. Guy can barely form 2 sentences without stuttering or losing his train of thought. Stop bringing on washed-up former players to be hockey analysts. Panthers in 6
Dude disrespects one of the best hockey legends of all time...we have a President of the USA that can't speak, focus on him and not Messier talking about hockey games.
