@@p00l95 Laf, Trocheck, Goodrow, and Igor were the only consistent players that battled in the Panthers series. everyone else was a ghost in that series.
We needed a kick in the teeth. We've been outscoring our mistakes or relying on goaltending for the last couple weeks. This is real hockey and what we can expect moving forward. That said, we did have enough chances to win the game but we also could have lost this one by 5 or 6 if it wasn't for Igor. There was no fight in the 3rd which is uncharacteristic from this group.
@@Desert-Father Just wait a little lol. Like till the playoffs . A good defensive team like the Panthers or Bruins will take Rangers down. Like I said, ask the Capitals
Florida and Carolina both show how a strong forecheck destroys our team.... been that way the past few years. But with that said, after 2min40 into the game, we were 1-1 the rest of the game
How are we not sharp against the Panthers?! The Stanley Cup Champs! This might be a coaching problem. I'm already miffed at him for not putting in Jones instead of an injured Fox in the Conference finals, also not giving Rempe a chance to get better, put him in! Especially against this team, we need to establish a forecheck against teams that try to forecheck us. Hem them in their own zone. Lavi has lost my patience. Drury has to find us a first line Center, Mika is not it, on any other cup contending team, he would be a second line Center. He's just not that guy, ask Mess how he feels about our Center position & what it'll take to win deep in the playoffs... LGR ✌️💀💙🗽♥️🏒🥅
Hopefully they learn from this.. Zbad comment about NOT talking about the risk taking ( sloppiness) when your beating up on inferior opponents is telling ....that start was inevitable, and perhaps best that it was from the team they lost to last year ...details and lose the pond hockey mentality ...
Vally is 100% right. The Panthers are relentless. They forecheck and press the pace like crazy and the Rangers need to learn how to smother that.
It was like re living the playoffs matchup vs Panthers over again very frustrating
Makes you wonder what their take aways were from that series.
@@Desert-Father they obviously didn't take away anything
They took away the 'L', that's about it. @@kylekost8947
The old axiom that defense wins championships is never wrong. Winning board battles, especially in the D-zone is a key.
Like watching the finals again.
There's a standard.. they know it themselves.. it's early in the season.. they will learn and move on.. we got this
Clearly they didn't learn from the playoffs last year
Holding the Rangers off the score board for two periods is impressive.
And the Cats didnt even have Barkov
Ok, Vally is right. Rangers want to be a Stanley cup team? Start taking notes.
Let's hope that the Blueshirts don't have to face off against The Panthers in the playoffs bc it's a bad match up.
They will definitely have to. Panthers are not going anywhere. Mika, Artemi, and Laf are ghosts in April and May.
@p00l95 did u just laf ... he was one our best players against florida

Rangers defense continues to be a problem.
That is a problem with all Pete’s teams of late . Get rid of him before he ruins NYR like he did the Capitals
@euroshfl Really ruined them by leading the team to a President's Trophy and an ECF appearance. /s

Panthers are the better team period.
...even without Barkov. I'm just hoping somebody stuns them in the opening rounds of the playoffs.

Cats 👎 😖🤦♂ next Game LGR!! 💙💪
How about some physicality from the rangers. Florida just bullied the rangers off of the puck all night
