Game 6 Canes vs. Rangers

[NYR_94]

Either way, and it was close, the main point is they had TONS of chances to win this game and lock it up, and they didn't get it done. If I were a Canes fan you would never hear me complain about that call when my goalie allowed a terrible goal, I had a bunch of chances in the 3rd, I had two 2 goal leads, I didn't have to allow a PP goal on that penalty, again on and on. The Canes need to look in the mirror and say close series, but we had our chances and lost. Two very good teams, one team has to lose, and it was the Canes who had many chances to force a game 7 and failed.

Without even playing this I'm sure Dave was yelling.

Dave Maloney stepping all over Sam....that was almost as bad/funny as the calls from the 2014 ECF

Without even playing this I'm sure Dave was yelling.

On one yes lol but good to hear Sam.

As much as we were all very concerned and angry and ripping them and bothered by how they played in game 5 and the first two periods tonight, you have to give this team huge credit for finding a way, that was ultra-impressive. Just a monster win, and now we don't have to worry about an anything can happen game 7.

Huge credit to Igor for pulling a Richter and helping carry us through, goaltending was the biggest difference in this series. Andersen gave us life with a terrible 2nd goal, and we broke the door down. Awesome stuff from Kreider stepping up and owning the front of the net.

One comment on the Staal penalty, you could maybe say weak call, but they also should have gotten a PP right before that for delay of game on the Canes, so it evened out. And most importantly, the Canes, and the guys on TNT (who hate the Rangers), have literally ZERO to complain about. They had 2-0 and 3-1 leads tonight, they had many chances to clinch the game and didn't finish, their goalie allowed a weak ass goal, on and on, so they need to stop the whining, they had every chance and didn't get it done.

And yes, go Bruins. I kind of think the Panthers end it tomorrow night, but hey you never know. Go Bruins!!!

Expecting a Monday or Tuesday ECF start at MSG.

The only hater is that fucking loser Biz. Carter and the other one who played for the rangers I forgot his name. They're actually pro rangers.

 

[NYR_94]

Carter and Yandle are good, Biz is a Rangers hater, but so is Liam, he is an Isles fan. The overall tone is anti-Rangers on TNT because Biz is their main guy who kind of sets the tone for some odd reason.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Yandle that's his name. We got him at the TDL for duclair

 

[NYR_94]

Yes, he was on the 2015 Pres trophy winning team that lost in the ECF to TB.

 

[NYR_94]

I miss Sam, and Maloney is crazy, but he's a fan, and I am sure we all screamed like that when Kreider scored his 3rd goal for the lead.

It’s incredible how the whole complexion of a night can change. Dark and drab to happy and looking forward to a huge series.

This is so true, but I think that can happen especially when your goalie let's in a terrible goal. If the Canes want to whine about something, that is what they should whine about, the 2nd goal Andersen allowed that is what really changed the game, and cost the Canes IMO.

Monday or Tuesday night MSG will be rocking as the Rangers look to make the SCF for the first time since 2014. I like that the Rangers will have 3 or 4 days off, I think that is the perfect amount of time to not get rusty and stay sharp and rest up a bit as well.

Hopefully the Knicks follow the Rangers there tomorrow night or Sunday afternoon.

 

[kreidertime]

Maloney needs to shut the fuck up during Sam’s calls.

 

[mrmel29]

When his career is over number 20 will be hanging in the rafters!

 

[strudwickisthebest]

They came back from the dead. The Panarin like played well all game and Kreider showed up in the 3rd. Really need more scoring from the bottom 2 lines and defenseman. Wennberg Kakko Cuylle and Vesey need to chip in

 

[strudwickisthebest]

If they play Florida Rempe needs to play game 1 to set the tone

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Almost drove off the road when kreider scored the hatrick...big fuck you to Siriusxm for only having the Canes play by play available...

Well that's #8

 

[PorterPanzer]

What a game! The comeback kids do it again and CK cements himself as Rangers legend. Trocheck was a hitting machine in the series, now tied with Trouba with 36 hits, also missed by the refs was that old clown Burns body slamming Vinnie to the ice. Trouba now with 47 blocked shots, Fox 2nd with 25. Jacob also leads Rangers dmen in scoring but yet the hate continues when he has one misstep. Roslovic has been a decent deadline pickup but Wennberg can sit, he's done nothing in 10 games.

Hope the Bs can extend the series and they continue beating the crap out of each other.

 

[NYR_94]

Interesting nugget from Brooks, I wonder if that is the illness Chytil had:

There’s ample reason to believe that Kreider, as many of his teammates, have been dealing with a flu-like illness that raced through the team. No Ranger would acknowledge it. I have heard enough to believe that it’s true. I also know enough that this would never be an excuse for losing the series after taking a 3-0 lead.


The Rangers have now been to the ECF 5 times in 13 years, that is solid. They need to finish one of these runs off with a SC though as they are currently 1-3 in the 4 prior ECF runs since 2012 (Kreider on the team for all of them).

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Still can't believe it..

 

[NYR_94]

The ECF starts Wednesday night at MSG - 8 PM on ESPN (ESPN/ABC has the ECF this year). They play every other day with a potential game 7 on June 3rd. All games at 8 PM except game 3 which will be at 3 PM on Sunday the 26th in Florida or Boston. I like that schedule, all night games except game 3, also gives the Rangers 5 days off until Wednesday, which is a good number.

The other plus is if the Knicks can get it done tonight or Sunday, they start in Boston on Tuesday night and play every other day (ESPN/ABC also has the ECF for bball - all night games). It is a perfect match of Knicks one night, Rangers the next night, and so on...if the Knicks can finish off the Pacers.

I think the Knicks will get by the Pacers, I hope for tonight, I think it is a tossup game, but I think worst case they win game 7 at MSG. Then I think the Knicks lose in 5 or 6 to Boston after a great run for them. The Rangers I think will win the ECF, rather play Boston, but I think they would beat the Panthers also, albeit in a longer tougher series. IMO, when you take the Rangers out, I think the Canes were the best team in the NHL, and the Rangers just beat them and should feel extra confident in what they can do moving forward.

Let's get it done Knicks, then enjoy some more excitement starting in Boston Tuesday and MSG Wednesday.

 

[Ranger71]

Wheeler should definately be ready if it's starting Wed. Chytil we'll see too I guess.

 

[NYR_94]

Yes, I think they could both be ready. Thing to remember is both have been practicing and are medically cleared to play (Wheeler was officially removed from the injury list yesterday). After seeing Brooks talk about the flu running through the team, I am thinking/hoping maybe Chytil had the flu and that was the illness, who knows but it is possible.

One would think those guys should be good in 5 days, at the very least in the conversation and ready if needed due to injury. As we all know, it is good to have depth in the playoffs.

 

[Messiah717]

Florida it is.
