It seems like every time the Rangers were in the offensive zone, they would get one shot from the perimeter and then the Panthers would get possession. They may have played badly, but I think most of that is due to Florida. We always seem to struggle against skilled and bruising teams. I had some hope when we beat Carolina, but each one the Carolina games were close and the series should have gone to 7 games. Florida is Carolina but with more skill and depth. I hope we still win, but now, I just hope the games are exciting.
And better goaltending than Carolina, and more physicality, and harder on pucks, and better on PK, and deeper offensively, better systems, a smarter coach... i could go on
Exactly If they're complaining about 94 they loss to Devil's Game 1 at home. Keep ur Chins up Rangers fan it be ok. We will be ready for Game 2 . Been fan since 74 saw everything as Ranger fan in 50years so relax everyone
I WAS SO CONFUSED LMAO Man I just watched one of your older vids reacting to a Canada X Czechia game from like a year ago and at first didnt realise it was you, Eckhartsladder! I recognised the voice and then I saw the profile pic and it all came together, literally dying of laughter rn
This was just what the rangers 5v5 has been for years. The team´s only weapon is powerplay and counters that just don´t happen as much in the playoffs. 5v5 numbers they are not even that much better than teams like buffalo, ottawa etc. Now that they finally get to play a great 5v5 it really shows.
They need to step up big time. There is no streak anymore on which they can ride on. Frustrating game as a Rangers Fan. They knew exactly what was coming and weren't up to the challenge. This could be a short series.
It makes me even more annoyed as a Canes fan to realize that this is what we could have done to the Rangers...IF we had elite goaltending. I see how Florida plays such a similar game...being dominant 5v5, hard forechecking, etc...but the biggest difference is Florida has Bobrovsky whereas we had Andersen. Freddie wasn't terrible, but he wasn't great which is what we needed from him. Even with our terrible special teams, we were only losing games by a goal. Igor made crucial stops, whereas Andersen didn't. That's basically the series in a nutshell, and I see it clear as day now what the Canes number 1 priority should be in the off-season.
That third period of game six in the first five minutes the canes hit I believe two posts and Igor made two incredible saves. The Rangers never come back if the canes score a couple goals.
I knoooooooooow, we actually had a truly legitimate shot at the reverse sweep, and Freddy just completely folded under the pressure and let everyone down at the worst possible moment. The pain is so real.
Oiler fan here. Never been a fan of Andersen, but you said it yourself "terrible special teams". Fix that and even average goaltending can get you places
@@NooBeRGoD I mean, we kind of did. Power play was 2nd during the regular season and pk was 1st. Not sure why it fell off a cliff during the playoffs. But lets also remember that goaltending is intimately tied to special teams. The goalie needs to be the best penalty killer in when the playoffs start.
The other thing about the panthers no one is talking about. They shut down the number 1 power play in round 1. Like completely shut it down till the end of the round. Also I feel like Florida has all the elite goalies of the future in our ahl system, and the best backup goalie who had some of the best overall numbers in the regular season. So if I were the hurricanes I'd be trying to grab one of the 4 goalies we have available, all of them are ufas after this season. including Spencer knight, but I belive he is trade bait for Leon draisaitl when he leaves the oilers this year. And then our two prospects will be ready for some crazy trades a few years after that.

This was a statement win for Florida, they showed the Rangers that they’re a team that does not mess around. NY got their wake up call and I expect them to win game 2. If they don’t, they’re in deep trouble. Also, Florida hasn’t lost back to back games yet in this postseason.
So satisfying watching this knowing where the series is now! I know we still got a ways to go, but check this out, the Rangers won game one and lost game 3 in 2015 & 2022. Maybe the different series game wins means something?
My eyes rolled into my head so hard I almost collapsed when he put the kid line out together expecting something from them when Chytil has been useless since his contract year, Kakko can’t find the net and Alexis fits in that second line perfectly
I agree with you completely, put Rempe in so he can take up a roster spot and be useless. His 3 hits and 1 fight in 5 minutes of ice time per game is only going to make it even more likely the Rangers lose this series.
Not only that but the Panthers are more than happy to send their first line out every time Rempe is on the ice. I saw this shit with Leafs fans as well. Them clamoring for Ryan Reaves to be in when they played us and lo and behold, he goes in, the Panthers throw the Barkov line out there and they proceed to eat Toronto alive and pot 3 goals in the span of 50 seconds. The Panthers do not care who you throw out there. Rangers already have a bruise in Trouba and they were still more than happy put the puck in his corner and beat the shit out of him. But it’s funny when I see this. What is it with hockey fans that they always think that their enforcer is going to be the difference? “They wouldn’t be doing this with Reaves out there!” “Let’s see how physical they are when Rempe is on the ice!” And then go shocked pikachu when those guys are out there for goals against.
No time for panic. Yes, they were shut down for long stretches, but the Panthers weren't exactly lighting it up. In fact, I'd say the Rangers had the 5 or 6 best chances in the entire game.
Rangers did not put a SHOT ON NET in the first 15 minutes of the 3RD PERIOD! These comments of “Panthers didn’t even do that much, Rangers were really doing more” is the most ludacris thing I’ve ever seen 😂. Panthers stomped them, on the road, with a goal TAKEN off the board (correctly). This series is not over, but holy hell it may be another short ECF, courtesy of the Cats if the other team doesn’t wake up. At least the Canes forced multiple OTs.
Eck, mate, I love your videos. I agree with your points but to be fair we had our odd man rushes and chances but just weren't able to capitalize, which is fine. Igor was the star of that game, but I can believe that this team won't let him do heavy lifting for long. They saw what Florida can bring and now know how to adjust, if they need to at all. It was a little too silent for my liking in the Garden for Game 1, and I think next game will be much more energized. Thanks again for your videos and takes.
thought similar. This isn’t suppose to be a vacation.. they’re not even in Florida yet. They know what to expect from the Cats, no excuses for subpar effort. And yeah, it’s baffling not to have the Rempire State building in that game against that opponent. Who sits? Vesey? Wenner? Let Chytil have 3C? NOT Cuylle!! They need their hard hitters in the line up. they have more than enough talent to compensate for. Rempe’s lack there, but he doesn’t skate badly for a big guy and he knows to move in straight lines and how to forecheck and set up shop.. and of course to hit hard.
Panthers fan here. It's only 1 game. I like our chances, but there is lots of hockey to play still. And yeah, go ahead and put Rempe in. The dude is good for one thing, and it won't affect us. And by the way, the refs got the interference call right last night. Lomberghini was in the paint and got there on his own. No goal.
It's funny how Rempe gets praise, but Reaves, Mccleod, and Glass wouldn't At least Glass scored on Carey Price and was a member of the last actual good Rangers team unlike these fraud clowns that refuse to rebuild properly
Dont get me wrong, I love that type of player and I think we need more of it in the league. League is getting too soft and cute with the plays. But he is still too green to be anything but a penalty bot for the Rangers at this point.
New to this channel- is Eck a Rangers fan, or does he just share the same enthusiasm for the Panthers as the ESPN announcers? I for one was excited to see the Panthers show up like this.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- the rangers have been outplayed for about 85% of the time in their last 6 or 7 games- they’ve just been bailed out by Igor most of the time. Reminds me of the king henrik days. Brutal to watch.
I've been saying that Drury and Dolan are idiots for abandoning the rebuild in favor of wasting time in the playoffs and torturing goalies (sucks that Igor acts like a baby too, I wanted Russians on what should be my team, but he and Panarin have not been it compared to the classy Buchnevich lol)
They scored ONE goal on us, one rare lucky goal courtesy of us, and an empty net...IF we won like that, I wouldn't be too happy... BUT we lost like that, so let's not get down...Let's take game 2 and then get to Florida and enjoy the multitude of NY'ers that will be in that building...LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
Florida and Edmonton are hungry af for that cup! They are in the same position as Colorado was when they lost in 2021. Hungry for the Stanley cup. Tired of losing.
I am cheering for the panthers since the Power Rangers beat my favourite team the Canes even tho if the rangers win the cup my class gets a pizza party.
honestly, its not like Florida was that dominant in this game. it was 1-0, a fluky goal Igor prob would want back, pretty much all game. its not like florida was buzzing much. I just thought the rangers looked flat all game
@@idawg7332 rangers won the presidents trophy and was one of the top teams bc of their north south hockey game. they didn’t nearly look good not bc of florida but bc of a lackluster effort.
Florida’s forecheck is took good. My bruins also struggled to generate shots on goal against Florida. Their physicality seems to outweigh the other team’s talent. Most teams just dont have an answer to the system Paul Maurice has developed
Two things: 1. You have to give the Panthers a lot of credit for many of the things that did not go well for them. 2. The Rangers were not that bad. They had one more high danger chance and higher expected goals for the game. A couple of breakaways and a couple of posts. A lot of things just did not go their way and they simply didn't put the puck in the net. Something about the approach and tactics needs to change at least a little. And they can't go for 15 minutes without a shot. Just dump the puck in and look for any shot sometimes. But since they also had their chances, they have to make sure to finish and get it done. Get that puck to bounce their way again.
We all know the Canes were the better team and should be here. They lost off bad goal keeping and a few bad bounces. Looking forward to the Rangers getting swept on this one.
This feels a swep we’ve seen this before last year. Rangers can never have that kind of performance for the rest of the playoffs. They have to be ready to play as soon as that puck drops tomorrow. I expect rampe to be in the lineup tomorrow.
Bruins fan checking in here. I feel for ya, Rangers homers. Florida is just able to shut teams down in the O-zone and limit scoring chances to just a few and shots just a few more. I can't stand the Panthers but I respect their Defense a ton.
they matched them in hits. they just didnt match in score chances. rempe will not fix this problem he will just get penalties in his 5 minutes a game played
@@dinosaurman59 Zariah should listen to you. Trust me, Paul Maurice WANTS Rempe in the game. The refs look to him every time he's on the ice. I don't care, we can use the PP practice, eventually they'll figure it out, but its a desperation move to put in someone who isn't going to help you offensively because the fans wanna see Lurch try and skate with the Panthers. Ok, please....go ahead....Bennet's gonna blow by him on a quick change and pass it to Erod for a score.
Again with this Rempe thing , I had the impression that you can do better than that. Rempe is going to put the Rangers only in trouble by risking penalties and suspension.. He's a mediocre hockey player , with poor puck skills...
His entire role is being a momentum swinger. If he does what he does without taking a penalty, he's a big asset. Unfortunately he hasn't reached the level where he understands how to do that yet.
What I'm most disappointed in is Playoff Panarin. He's been absent since the playoffs began after such a massive season. Dude has got to get his shit together and show up.
For a while now it feels like players NEED to touch the puck if it's within reach They just slap wildly if they're within vicinity, it's almost like they're paid per touch
Disagree with playing Rempe. The games he did play in the Carolina series, he spent entire shifts hunting a big hit but was always a step slow to make one. I feel like the Panthers play a similar (fast) game to the Hurricanes and it would just be more of the same.
The encouraging part is that even though the Rangers played totally mediocre; the game remained a 1 goal game until the end - despite Florida playing at their top level. The Rangers can play much, much better while the Panthers are already tapped out.
Florida's offense played at a C level at best. But hey denial is the first stage of grief, you'll progress through the other steps as they keep losing.
Even if you believe the Panthers have more to their game; the fact still remains that the Rangers played far below what they are capable of. The question is whether or not New York will decide to show up.
I know it's off topic, but it was funny to me to see at 1:35 how #11 was basically just 🤷♂ after looking around and seeing everyone had already paired off, like "oh, well now what?"
As soon as I learned Tempe wasn’t playing I knew the rangers had made a mistake. I think taking out cuylle or good row or someone else to allow Rempe to play would be good
I know you are a Rangers fan. Therefore you are frustrated when they lose. But I think you are overpacing. When the do not win you comment like they are the worst team in the NHL. Man, this is the conference final! And when they win the next game you are over the moon. Try to be a bit more neutral, you often exaggerate when it's about the Rangers.
It’s one game, people need to chill out. They learned, they know what Florida is gonna bring the next game and they can prepare accordingly. Itll be a good series this is why it’s a best of 7
Obviously they could have done a lot better... BUT Ranger's were about an inch or two away from winning this game. Ranger hit the post 2 or 3 times, which also do not reflect on the stat sheet as a shot. Like I said, Could have played better for sure but I don't feel as down on them as I did after they lost game 5 to Carolina. I think the Rangers are resiliant and can bring this one back. Always expected this to be a brutal 7 game series.
Rempe is a circus act and when the games matter, he’s in the press box. Florida is a team on a mission. They came close last year by making it to the finals and if the Rangers don’t wake up, the series will be over in four or five games, which would make me very happy. If you take out the third period of game 6 against the canes, the Rangers have played pretty subpar their last four games. They’re gonna find out pretty fast and I think they found out last night that the Panthers are not the hurricanes or that sorry excuse of a playoff team in Washington.
Man, that wet fart... Speaks volumes of what the game last night was. That being said, you look at what Florida has done to other teams in the previous rounds and to be down only 1-0 isn't bad. Still losing, and then the Laffy Dang-It kind of sealed date there, but it wasn't a complete blowout. A day to get their heads together and realign their sights to hit the net instead of the posts, I still think we're in for a long series but one we can bounce back in.
Panarin having 2 great breakaway score chances and waiting for a pass is crazy. IDGAF if Bob is his friend, he's you're enemy til the end of the series. Looking like last years Panarin again
Florida hasn't lost back to back games this year in the playoffs, which the Rangers have to do now to win the series. Rangers only beat them in the reg season once, in a shootout. It could happen but I doubt it
The stats don’t lie, If we can’t score 4+ in any given game it’s an auto lose. We could barely get the puck out of our zone last night, and yeah a lot of pucks hit the post, but bob also blocks the ones that don’t. We need Trouba, Rempe, Miller and Cullye to make some hits man play offs or not, have faith in our PK and make the cats pay with blood
@@microwavesgommmmmmm I was taking it more from the position that it was ass to watch for him (watching his favorite team get their attitudes adjusted) That and, I'm from boston; calling your team ass, especially when they're being ass, is a sign of love
I thought they had some really good areas but had such unlucky events happen. with the two sticks breaking on the shots to the puck bounces. I dont think the game was determined by the luck, as one of my old coaches said good teams win games great teams will find a way to win games which kind of means it shouldn't matter your luck its all about the teams effort. The range needs to play a full 60, not a good first 10 minutes in the second and one good scoring chance. This in mind its still the first game of the series and I think this is a good wake up call.
I think in your rangers coverage too much of your bias is coming as a rangers fan. Nothing against that, but as a viewer who is not a big fan of either, it would be great to get your input on both teams equally and with more detail
It wasn’t that bad. It was a one goal game. Florida had 1 more shot on net. This will be a 7 game series. Quit bitching for views. Same with most of Twitter.
Just need to figure out the panthers forecheck. Very strong defensively for the majority of the game. Despite being stuck in their own zone the majority of the game, Florida only put 1 past Igor. Laffy is not to blame for that 2nd goal, just bad luck on his part. The Rangers were not out of that game until the final 5 minutes. Chill out, have faith. They aren't done yet.
As a Panthers fan, any analysis at this point is premature. Take the win, but I'm expecting the Rangers to adjust. They are too good to just sit back and get swept.
Rangers all night skated like Laffy Taffy, what a joke of an own goal. If you see how Laffy Taffy skated to score it is the same exact slow pase game for 3 periods these Strangers displayed! Horrible hockey, I am glad 1994 was great and so different! 🏆

New to this channel- is Eck a Rangers fan, or does he just share the same enthusiasm for the Panthers as the ESPN announcers? I for one was excited to see the Panthers show up like this.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- the rangers have been outplayed for about 85% of the time in their last 6 or 7 games- they’ve just been bailed out by Igor most of the time. Reminds me of the king henrik days. Brutal to watch.
I've been saying that Drury and Dolan are idiots for abandoning the rebuild in favor of wasting time in the playoffs and torturing goalies (sucks that Igor acts like a baby too, I wanted Russians on what should be my team, but he and Panarin have not been it compared to the classy Buchnevich lol)
They scored ONE goal on us, one rare lucky goal courtesy of us, and an empty net...IF we won like that, I wouldn't be too happy... BUT we lost like that, so let's not get down...Let's take game 2 and then get to Florida and enjoy the multitude of NY'ers that will be in that building...LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
If Bob is going to play like this all series, it’ll be over in 4.
Eck my man, you just cannot help but to roll out great material!
I enjoyed every minute of it!
Florida and Edmonton are hungry af for that cup! They are in the same position as Colorado was when they lost in 2021. Hungry for the Stanley cup. Tired of losing.
I am cheering for the panthers since the Power Rangers beat my favourite team the Canes even tho if the rangers win the cup my class gets a pizza party.
honestly, its not like Florida was that dominant in this game. it was 1-0, a fluky goal Igor prob would want back, pretty much all game. its not like florida was buzzing much.
I just thought the rangers looked flat all game
That was a textbook FLA game. I don’t see them as a “buzzing” team.
@@karl7487 Boston game 2 be like
rangers looked flat because panthers are good at forechecking and backchecking.
Thanks for telling us that you've really never watched Florida all season. Good talk!
@@idawg7332 rangers won the presidents trophy and was one of the top teams bc of their north south hockey game. they didn’t nearly look good not bc of florida but bc of a lackluster effort.
Gotta split Trouba and Miller pair too... their +/- is horrendous when theyre together
Florida’s forecheck is took good. My bruins also struggled to generate shots on goal against Florida. Their physicality seems to outweigh the other team’s talent. Most teams just dont have an answer to the system Paul Maurice has developed
Why are they not playing Rempe?
Think youre exaggerating a lot. The only goal FLA scored on shesterkin was a fluke softy he shouldve had. Bob wasn't even particularly good
Totally agree about the Rempe factor.
Two things:
1. You have to give the Panthers a lot of credit for many of the things that did not go well for them.
2. The Rangers were not that bad. They had one more high danger chance and higher expected goals for the game. A couple of breakaways and a couple of posts. A lot of things just did not go their way and they simply didn't put the puck in the net. Something about the approach and tactics needs to change at least a little. And they can't go for 15 minutes without a shot. Just dump the puck in and look for any shot sometimes. But since they also had their chances, they have to make sure to finish and get it done. Get that puck to bounce their way again.
We all know the Canes were the better team and should be here. They lost off bad goal keeping and a few bad bounces. Looking forward to the Rangers getting swept on this one.
Meh, they'll be fine. Probably.
Wow, when you're not beating up on the washed-ass crapitals or getting flukey wins against the canes, you get your shit pushed in. Who'd-a thunk it?
Drury and Dolan destroyed the rebuild over Tom Wilson
I see we're attracting the Facebook boomer hockey fans with this last one
I LAFF’ed out loud last night.
Pun intended.
No oilers video??
This feels a swep we’ve seen this before last year. Rangers can never have that kind of performance for the rest of the playoffs. They have to be ready to play as soon as that puck drops tomorrow. I expect rampe to be in the lineup tomorrow.
Bruins fan checking in here. I feel for ya, Rangers homers. Florida is just able to shut teams down in the O-zone and limit scoring chances to just a few and shots just a few more. I can't stand the Panthers but I respect their Defense a ton.
Taking Rempe out against one of the the most physical team is kinda unserious
they matched them in hits. they just didnt match in score chances. rempe will not fix this problem he will just get penalties in his 5 minutes a game played
@@dinosaurman59 Zariah should listen to you. Trust me, Paul Maurice WANTS Rempe in the game. The refs look to him every time he's on the ice. I don't care, we can use the PP practice, eventually they'll figure it out, but its a desperation move to put in someone who isn't going to help you offensively because the fans wanna see Lurch try and skate with the Panthers. Ok, please....go ahead....Bennet's gonna blow by him on a quick change and pass it to Erod for a score.
Again with this Rempe thing , I had the impression that you can do better than that. Rempe is going to put the Rangers only in trouble by risking penalties and suspension.. He's a mediocre hockey player , with poor puck skills...
His entire role is being a momentum swinger. If he does what he does without taking a penalty, he's a big asset. Unfortunately he hasn't reached the level where he understands how to do that yet.
What I'm most disappointed in is Playoff Panarin. He's been absent since the playoffs began after such a massive season. Dude has got to get his shit together and show up.
Even laf scored against the rangers and he is on our team
For a while now it feels like players NEED to touch the puck if it's within reach
They just slap wildly if they're within vicinity, it's almost like they're paid per touch
Presidents trophy curse
We need the rangers to turn it around and get to the final and break the presidents trophy curse!!!
Beautiful goal by Lafrenière
No need to panic lol, it’s literally one game
Disagree with playing Rempe. The games he did play in the Carolina series, he spent entire shifts hunting a big hit but was always a step slow to make one. I feel like the Panthers play a similar (fast) game to the Hurricanes and it would just be more of the same.
The encouraging part is that even though the Rangers played totally mediocre; the game remained a 1 goal game until the end - despite Florida playing at their top level.
The Rangers can play much, much better while the Panthers are already tapped out.
That’s false
Florida's offense played at a C level at best. But hey denial is the first stage of grief, you'll progress through the other steps as they keep losing.
Even if you believe the Panthers have more to their game; the fact still remains that the Rangers played far below what they are capable of. The question is whether or not New York will decide to show up.
I know it's off topic, but it was funny to me to see at 1:35 how #11 was basically just 🤷♂ after looking around and seeing everyone had already paired off, like "oh, well now what?"
As soon as I learned Tempe wasn’t playing I knew the rangers had made a mistake. I think taking out cuylle or good row or someone else to allow Rempe to play would be good
I know you are a Rangers fan. Therefore you are frustrated when they lose. But I think you are overpacing. When the do not win you comment like they are the worst team in the NHL. Man, this is the conference final! And when they win the next game you are over the moon. Try to be a bit more neutral, you often exaggerate when it's about the Rangers.
It’s one game, people need to chill out. They learned, they know what Florida is gonna bring the next game and they can prepare accordingly. Itll be a good series this is why it’s a best of 7
A repeat of last year’s playoffs, just in the ECF
The raspberry is crazy 💀
Obviously they could have done a lot better... BUT Ranger's were about an inch or two away from winning this game. Ranger hit the post 2 or 3 times, which also do not reflect on the stat sheet as a shot. Like I said, Could have played better for sure but I don't feel as down on them as I did after they lost game 5 to Carolina. I think the Rangers are resiliant and can bring this one back. Always expected this to be a brutal 7 game series.
Rempe is a circus act and when the games matter, he’s in the press box. Florida is a team on a mission. They came close last year by making it to the finals and if the Rangers don’t wake up, the series will be over in four or five games, which would make me very happy. If you take out the third period of game 6 against the canes, the Rangers have played pretty subpar their last four games. They’re gonna find out pretty fast and I think they found out last night that the Panthers are not the hurricanes or that sorry excuse of a playoff team in Washington.
It was a very terrible performance by the Rangers last night but I think they will bounce back win game 2 tomorrow I still have the Rangers in 6
As a salty Canes fan, watching the Rangers being embarrassed eases my pain level from 10/10 down to about a 9.5/10 or so
Man, that wet fart... Speaks volumes of what the game last night was.
That being said, you look at what Florida has done to other teams in the previous rounds and to be down only 1-0 isn't bad. Still losing, and then the Laffy Dang-It kind of sealed date there, but it wasn't a complete blowout.
A day to get their heads together and realign their sights to hit the net instead of the posts, I still think we're in for a long series but one we can bounce back in.
Panarin having 2 great breakaway score chances and waiting for a pass is crazy. IDGAF if Bob is his friend, he's you're enemy til the end of the series. Looking like last years Panarin again
its because hes used to players blowing past him when he stops. but the panthers kept with him and took all the passes away.
Rangers in 7.
Florida hasn't lost back to back games this year in the playoffs, which the Rangers have to do now to win the series. Rangers only beat them in the reg season once, in a shootout. It could happen but I doubt it
The stats don’t lie, If we can’t score 4+ in any given game it’s an auto lose. We could barely get the puck out of our zone last night, and yeah a lot of pucks hit the post, but bob also blocks the ones that don’t. We need Trouba, Rempe, Miller and Cullye to make some hits man play offs or not, have faith in our PK and make the cats pay with blood
i feel your pain. speaking as a bruins fan.
Well Eckster the panthers and Tkachuk look up to form so President Trophy curse might get fulfilled for like the 5th year in a row now
They've been running a train through my predictions. I'm not counting them out anymore.
Eck's homer is comin thru with that title 😂
literally how. he’s calling he literally favorite team ass that’s the complete opposite of being a homer do you even know what that means?
@@microwavesgommmmmmm I was taking it more from the position that it was ass to watch for him (watching his favorite team get their attitudes adjusted) That and, I'm from boston; calling your team ass, especially when they're being ass, is a sign of love
As a canes fan, this game was not frustrating at all. But yeah, the rangers need to get to work
I thought they had some really good areas but had such unlucky events happen. with the two sticks breaking on the shots to the puck bounces. I dont think the game was determined by the luck, as one of my old coaches said good teams win games great teams will find a way to win games which kind of means it shouldn't matter your luck its all about the teams effort. The range needs to play a full 60, not a good first 10 minutes in the second and one good scoring chance. This in mind its still the first game of the series and I think this is a good wake up call.
please cover the world cup, interesting stories are happening there too!
As a Panthers fan, please put Rempe in, thanks.
I think in your rangers coverage too much of your bias is coming as a rangers fan.
Nothing against that, but as a viewer who is not a big fan of either, it would be great to get your input on both teams equally and with more detail
It wasn’t that bad. It was a one goal game. Florida had 1 more shot on net.
This will be a 7 game series. Quit bitching for views. Same with most of Twitter.
It wasn’t a 1 goal game
its now been 3 own goals this playoffs.
Just need to figure out the panthers forecheck. Very strong defensively for the majority of the game. Despite being stuck in their own zone the majority of the game, Florida only put 1 past Igor. Laffy is not to blame for that 2nd goal, just bad luck on his part. The Rangers were not out of that game until the final 5 minutes. Chill out, have faith. They aren't done yet.
The Rangers thought it was over 40 pick up night at MSG.
As a Panthers fan, any analysis at this point is premature. Take the win, but I'm expecting the Rangers to adjust. They are too good to just sit back and get swept.
If Rempe isn't in the lineup tomorrow, I have 0 hope of the Rangers giving Florida a run for their money.
Babe wake up angry Eck video about the Rangers dropped
Rempe is ya'll savior? Holy shit lmfao
As a panthers fan in this series need rempe in the line up
Rangers all night skated like Laffy Taffy, what a joke of an own goal. If you see how Laffy Taffy skated to score it is the same exact slow pase game for 3 periods these Strangers displayed! Horrible hockey, I am glad 1994 was great and so different! 🏆
