Game 4 Devils vs. Rangers

[kreidertime]

Shoot the fn puck!

 

[Ranger71]

Get some screens and generate some rebounds.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Rangers have done an excellent job minimizing the Devils scoring opportunities through three games. Doing that against one of the highest scoring offenses in the regular season is pretty impressive and hopefully they're able to maintain their strong defensive structure tonight.

Zibs needs to have a huge game tonight.

 

[Rangers94]

Zibs needs to have a huge game tonight.

With the Devils taking away/paying more attention to Kreider, Z needs to be moved back to the face off dot so he can one time from there. It’ll also open up the middle more for shots (if our friggin point men would actually shoot) to get through for Kreider to deflect. It’ll be interesting to see our adjustments to their PK having adjusted to us.

 

[kreidertime]

Mika is searching for a little. I have confidence that he will find it.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Zib, Panarin and Trochek could use a strong offensive game tonight. I think the kid line comes through at some point in this game though.

 

[Messiah717]

A big 6'5" goalie they have to make him move.

 

[NYR Fan]

And get pucks on net that will create rebounds that may leave him out of position. Big kid that seems calm, let's test that tonight like we never really did in game 3.

Big up down game in the series. We win and it is a 5 or 6 game series. They win and this thing is going 7 almost for sure. We'll know what kind of series we have by 9:30 or so tonight.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Wtf was fox thinking..you have to have eyes on that fucking Hughes all the time....

 

[kreidertime]

One defensive fuck up already

 

[Messiah717]

If Chytil isn't fucking around near the boards he's there for an easy goal.

 

[kreidertime]

The Rangers should try hitting somebody

 

[mrmel29]

Rangers playing way too soft. Start hitting these mofos

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

This is a turning point in the series right here and now...we need to score...come on Z man!

 

[Messiah717]

Big power play.

 

[Messiah717]

Another big power play.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Back to back PPs...didnt do shit on the first one.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Win the fuckjng faceoff

 

[Rangers94]

Trocheck is playing the part of Strome these playoffs.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Except he's not on the first PP. Well that didn't last long.

 

[Messiah717]

They're making it easy on this goalie again. You're not going to get him with 35 foot prayers.

You can also credit the debbies for keeping it tight down low

 

[faatanqui]

Don’t need to piss anyone off more than we already are…

we are getting smothered by the devs ..

they are skatin, we are thinkin.

we need a lucky bounce

 

[Rangers94]

They need to go back to what the PP looked like before Kane. Having Z below the goal line is stupid as fuck. Put him where he can one time it and that will once again open up the middle for a shot from Fox from the point and a deflection. Or we can keep being retarded and keep trying to do the same thing the Devils have shut down the last 9 PPs

 

[mrmel29]

Trouba needs to throw his helmet again

 

[NYR Fan]

Overall a pretty even period. The Devs got nothing expect that one chance, which they scored on. We had a few medium level chances, but nothing great. Both teams playing tight D. We need to be more aggressive and I think play with a bit more passion. Seem to be a little flat. But again overall the period was even, and maybe slight edge us, but no real top chances either way except for their goal.

Also starting to worry this kid will be in their heads now, and we know his confidence is sky high. Plus give the Devs credit for playing a tight game and not allowing many chances.

Interesting 2nd period coming up.

 

[Ranger71]

Not a bad period but an unfortunate sequence on the goal. Need to get some traffic on Schmid and create some bounces.

 

[NYR Fan]

This is why the NHL playoffs are dangerous, and why so many series are close. Devs get some life from game 3, a game that went to OT and we could have won, and next thing you know the confidence is flowing, and the Devs are 2 periods away from an even series going home.

Credit Devs/we need to wake up a bit, but our stars just not much going on game 3 and 1st period tonight. Z hasn't done much in the series, Trocheck nothing, Kane great game 2 - nothing outside of that, Panarin up and down. Need to find our game, and get in front of this kid, and get some pucks upstairs.

 

[Disturbed]

Gotta think only a matter of time until they solve Schmid but my god is there a bigger Ranger kryptonite than a backup goalie nobody has ever heard of?
