Game 3 Canes vs. Rangers

[kreidertime]

Time to cane that Carolina ass boys. Especially, since they are crying about Trouba flying thru the air at Necas. They have now exposed themselves as bitches to the Rangers.

Glad Trouba didn't hurt himself but that was hilarious....what a doof.

Just like I said after game 2, the Canes will have a different goalie tonight, Andersen benched and Kochetkov starting. While I figured this would happen, it could backfire and come across as a panic move, or maybe he plays great, and it is a winning move. New goalie who hasn't played since April 14th means even more the Rangers should get pucks on net and see if he is up to the task, or if he is rusty.


"He's got a different demeanor," Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "Freddie's really calm and cool and 'Kooch' is a little more passionate and wears his emotions on his sleeve. But they are both pretty good goalies."

Kochetkov started one game in the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs and has made four other appearances in relief, including one last season. The 24-year-old has a 4.31 GAA and .858 save percentage in the postseason.

They are going to rally around Kotchetkov defensively is my expectation so getting shots on net is prob going to be tough. Hopefully the Rangers are decisive when they have the puck on their stick and are not passing up open shots even if it is a low percentage opportunity.

 

[kreidertime]

They are trying what the Devils did to the Rangers but it won't work. Not the same team.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Past Ranger teams would make the backup look like a star. With this team rolling like the way they are there are no excuses why they should not sweep this team now

 

[NYR_94]

One thing I will say about the change, the Canes rotated goalies pretty strictly once Andersen came back from injury, so while Andersen was the starter with more experience, it was almost like a 1 and 1A, so this isn't like us playing Quick over Igor for example. Either way the point holds true, he hasn't played in almost a month, and we need to get pucks on him to see how he handles it.

The crowd in Carolina should be rocking, so the first 6-8 minutes will be big IMO, can the Rangers withstand and get through that emotion early and then get to their game. I did read they expect maybe 20% Rangers fans. In general, I like the Rangers game on the road and have for a while.

Looks like Chytil in for Rempe. If true, surprising

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Per pre game show...rempe out for chytil

 

[NYR_94]

Like I said on that, if you are going to pull Rempe, which I am not a huge fan of fixing what isn't broken, you go Chytil over Brod. Playing Brod made little sense to me as I don't see what value he adds. And while I don't expect much out of Chytil after missing months, maybe you get lucky and catch lightning in a bottle and big picture he can take this team to even another level if he gets his legs under him after a couple of games. Lav taking a risk there, I think.

The Rangers also need to be more disciplined I would say. Giving the Canes many PP chances is a recipe for disaster at some point as their PP is too good to be held down forever and will get an extra boost at home you'd think.

Lines in warmups (bumping Cuylle to the 4th line it appears):

Kreider-Zibanejad-Roslovic
Panarin-Trocheck-Lafreniere
Chytil-Wennberg-Kakko
Cuylle-Goodrow-Vesey

Lindgren-Fox
Miller-Schneider
Gustafsson-Trouba

Shesterkin Quick

 

[strudwickisthebest]

I like that 4th line and the 3rd line needs a tweak so they can score

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Jesus christ...heads notnin thegame

 

[Stepupstepan]

yep chytil gets hit on the first shift.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Wow..I don't remember the last time I saw embellishment

 

[Greyvtrayn]

You mean you don't remember the last time you saw it get called I trust!

 

[Rangers94]

Wide open right in front. Unreal.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

We better get a power play after this bullshit

 

[Rangers94]

And THIS is why Rempe needs to be on the bench at the very least.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Canes all macho now..fuck them

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Well, that escalated quickly

 

[Rangers94]

We better get a power play after this bullshit

We did initially. Wouldn’t be surprised if now we don’t though.

 

[kreidertime]

Amazing how tough they’re acting without Rempe there

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Yeah, should be matching penalties at this point.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

They were pulling the exact same shit in game 2...Rempe not being dressed is not a factor.

 

[Rangers94]

They were pulling the exact same shit in game 2...Rempe not being dressed is not a factor.

They weren’t doing all this though. Tony wasn’t taking off his gloves challenging the entire bench.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Who is Kuznetsov yelling at that fuckin cokehead. Go do another line you drug addict. And Jarvis, keep your head up. You got knocked the fuck out last series

 

[Rangers94]

UNFUCKING REAL. WE DONT EVEN GET A PP.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Rempe should be playing , Chytil hasn’t played in ages. Not going to add nothing

 

[Greyvtrayn]

What are you talking about? He straight up challenged Miller to a fight last game that was caught on the broadcast. Stop.
