Game 6 Panthers vs. Rangers

[strudwickisthebest]

Add this game to the 2015 TB game, 2022 TB games, 2023 NJ

I mean how the fuck are they 0 and 3 against Florida teams in the ECF. Florida teams have embarrassed ny teams in the playoffs for years. It’s fucking laughable

 

[NYR_94]

If it is Florida, why are the Rangers 1-4 in the ECF since 2012, is that Florida? If it is Florida, why did the Rangers not show up against NJ last season? If it is Florida, why did we get rolled after being up 2-0 against TB in 2022? If it is Florida, why do we make just about every series as difficult as it can be by having to comeback down 3-1, or going 7 against inferior teams? If it is Florida, why did we lay an egg against Ottawa a few years back? If it is Florida, why do the Rangers continuously come up small in big spots late in the playoffs and score 0 or 1 goal? If it is Florida, why did we waste Hank's career? If it is Florida, why are we wasting Igor's career?

The answer is the players we have had for the past decade plus are not good enough. We have had too many fat cat, soft, East West, refuse to get dirty, refuse to get pucks on net, refuse to play the way you need to play to win late in the playoff's guys. That is the issue, not Florida.

All the talk just to honestly offer no effort out there. Like was said they didn’t have or create a single legitimate scoring chance.

 

[Messiah717]

Face it. They started falling apart against Carolina and Kreider bailed them out.

 

[Ranger71]

May as well pull Igor.

 

[NYR_94]

Face it. They started falling apart against Carolina and Kreider bailed them out.

Rinse and repeat, year after year same theme. Let's all make a plan to be back here next year around this time saying the exact same things. We can play it on loop since it happens just about the same way every playoffs.

 

[Ranger71]

Why on earth would you wait so long down 2 goals?

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Lol

 

[Messiah717]

20 shots on goal with the season on the line.

 

[Messiah717]

Of course the obligatory useless goal

 

[NYR_94]

Wait, the Rangers were shutout or scored 1 goal in an elimination game, that is rare and new, must be Florida since that hasn't happened to this team YEAR AFTER YEAR.

But give them credit guys, they did have 4 shots in the 3rd period.

And how funny is it that East West finally scores his first goal of this series, and his first goal in 9 games when it is pretty much over down 2 with under 2 minutes left. He earned that $11.6M salary.

 

[Ranger71]

Zibanejad just killing them.

 

[mrmel29]

Get off the ice you bunch of pussies!

 

[NYR_94]

Of course the obligatory useless goal

Yup, just like game 5. As far as I'm concerned, when the game was on, they scored ONE goal in games 5 & 6 combined.

 

[Rangers94]

Igor should pull a Roy and demand a trade and get out of here. Don’t be another Hank and waste yourself with this loser franchise

 

[NYR_94]

5 shots in the 3rd, they tried guys. Florida was just too good, that is why they scored 0 or 1 goal in an elimination game AGAIN like they do just about every single season. FLORIDA!!!!

This is sad but true. Do you want to be Hank, an all-time great HOF'er, but no Cup. If Igor wants a Cup he has to get out of here when he can. He's a UFA after next season, why re-sign here?

 

[Messiah717]

I’ll go watch Aaron Judge

 

[Messiah717]

We all knew exactly how this would go. They followed the blue print to a tee.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Aaron Judge? Who has been awful in the playoffs in his career? I don’t bother watching the Yankees anymore

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Unbelievable shit game when the season is on the line. We all saw this game script on the wall. There’s nothing good or successful about this season. Complete failure and choke job. Up 2-1 in the series and found a way to lose 3 straight. As I always said Kreider, ZB are 2nd line players on a good team. They are not top dogs and we’ve seen it the past 3 years

 

[Stepupstepan]

Judge is like baseball version of Panarin

 

[Messiah717]

Judge is like baseball version of Panarin

Any of his at bats are more exciting than the shit we just watched.

 

[NYR_94]

Game 6 against Florida - 0 goals when it mattered, 1 goal in the game, game 5 against Florida - 1 goal when it mattered, 2 goals in the game
Game 7 against NJ last season - 0 goals
Games 4, 5, 6 against TB two seasons ago - 1 goal in each game
2020 bubble games 2 and 3 - 1 goal each game

That is quite a run, they have not scored more than 1 goal in any of these games (outside of game 5 when they scored after Florida ended it with an empty net goal). Tell me again how it's FLORIDA!!!!

Always something. Up 2-0 against Tampa two years ago only to drop four straight.

Now you have me confused, 5 shots in the 3rd period when your playoff lives are on the line is not good. Confused...

In all seriousness it’s shocking.

 

[NYR_94]

Look at the numbers in these games the past 4 or 5 years that I posted. This is not just about Florida or Florida being better, even if that is true. This is a MUCH bigger issue with players who simply CANNOT GET IT DONE.

 

[mrmel29]

See you guys in September. Mess, I’ll see you on the Yankees and giants boards
