Rangers hanging on without contributions from its main players, Zib, Fox, Bread and Kreider. You can't always have Laf and Goodrow bailing you out. It's amazing that they're still holding up, really.
As someone who has no dog in the fight, I cannot believe that this series is tied. I've watched almost every minute of this series and it looks like Florida is constantly dominating the Rangers in every area except goaltending.
Call iitt whhat you want but rangers were top of the league all season. All floridas goals were off power playys. Carolina fans said the same crap but here we are. Rangers havent been playing anywhere near their best and STILL managed to get where they are. If panarin and kreider come to play tmrw night and laffy keeps it up then floridas in trouble. You saw the first period yesterday too right?
Honestly Igor Shesterkin is why the series is even. He’s been playing out of his fuckin mind all series, and yes that includes game 1. Reminds me of what Bobrovsky did last year.
Yep, this playoff year will be the battle of goaltending, and one will definitely win the Conn Smyth. It will be either Brobovsky, Shesterkin or Otter.
So long as Shesterkin is still at net, you guys have a very realistic shot in this series, and I knew that after game 1. You're not prohibited from having an excellent goalie, and there is none holding the fort quite like Shesty. As a Cats fan, it's been extremely infuriating; though we're obviously still in the series with a 2-2 tie, I can't help but feel this is us being dealt what we gave the Canes last year in the Conference Finals, Bob serving as a brick wall in spite of Carolina's statistical advantages over us game after game. There was just no 4OT game to start the series. I'd be shocked if this doesn't go the distance to game 7. We'll see what happens at MSG.
As a Rangers fan, I’m not worried much, purely due to Shesterkin. As well as the depth scoring from the Rangers being able to usually put up a few goals a game. But if they win this series, I’ll be ecstatic as a fan of the team, but as a hockey fan in general I’ll feel kinda sick, seeing the team who is showing more effort and heart, and who is really overall more deserving, lose. Rangers have such an annoying formula for victory, trying to manage defensively as much as possible, lean on their goalie, then score 2-4 goals on the occasional rush chance. 90% of the time spent in their own zone, but they play this annoying game and squeeze out wins.
Floridas forecheck is starting to wear down the already shaky defense of NY. Still a great series though, the top 2 goalies in the NHL make it an entertaining watch
As a Canes fan yes that was brutal last year…Igor pretty much did the same thing to Carolina last series, I feel like the Canes actually played better in 2 of there losses, just couldn’t get the puck in the net.
It's by far the most frustrating thing seeing the Rangers get maybe 10 seconds of offensive zone pressure at a time. 10-15 minutes without a shot or shot attempt? Are the Rangers a CPU team in NHL 24?
It’s like the Sabres in the 90’s, getting carried to the cup final and nearly winning, all on the back of Hasek. Who did they have for good forwards? Peca and Barnaby? 😂
Without their best players being their best players and miserable D-zone coverage, even Shesty won't be enough. They have been brutal for much of the 2nd and 3rd rounds, stealing wins when they were outplayed. Nobody lucks their way to a Stanley Cup.
They are holding very well. And Shesterkin is tremendous. But it is looking more and more like the Panthers are on a constant power play, where they are just not scoring that much.
Florida was better off getting the PP than the Penalty Shot in Overtime. The penalty shot, is one free shot, but the PP allows many scoring chances to be generated across the power play, making their PP much more dangerous.
I feel this to my core. As a Bolts fan, I've seen my team completely turn off their brain expecting elite goaltending to paper over terrible defense. That crap does NOT win Cups. Rangers need to take note and adjust or they are toast.
Thats the problem they can't adjust to a much more talented and aggressive team like the Panthers. Luck and a great goalie will not carry them to the Stanley Cup. They've been exposed and it's not pretty. This one goes to game 7 with the Panthers going to the Stanley cup. This Rangers roster will see some big changes next season. This is unacceptable.
there is a lot of hockey still to play. and i never thought it would go less than 6 or 7 games. series is tied going to msg. the first 10 mins of game 5 is huge. we gotta get the fans into it. msg turns into a library if we go down early.
Zibanejad turned the puck over inside his own blueline 5x in the 3rd period alone. He's been awful. It's also time for him to stop trying to be Ovi insisting on blasting a one-timer from the left circle as more often than not he misses the net and the puck exits the zone or he hits the goalie right in the chest for a stoppage of play
As a panthers fan I 100% agree I said to myself the rangers finally look like the better team and they just might win game 4 but then they looked gassed the rest of the way. Idk are the panthers just wearing them down?
Yes, the Rangers need to play better, but one must credit the Panthers. This series is going the distance, with one team and their fan base being devastated. Both teams are Stanley Cup caliber teams. Just goes to show how difficult the Stanley Cup is to win.
The Rangers have been the luckiest playoff team thus far. You get to play the worst team by far in the Caps. Then totally outplayed by Carolina and Florida, but somehow pull off miracle wins. The luck regression has to happen. I wouldn't be surprised if Florida finishes off the series in 6, but maybe that luck persists and the Rangers win 2 more being totally outplayed.
He doesn't shoot enough, but in this game he was involved in both goals and had another brilliant pass to Trochek, who was wide open but couldn't convert.
@@nightrain9288 WHOA he made a good pass? Stunning. Cmon man, we live in the real world where only results matter!! "Attempted assists" is not a statistical category
The Rangers averaged 7 shots a period. They have to start playing offense. They cant keep hoping to win allowing 35+ shots a game. Same Rangers really. Rely on the goaltender to win games (Richter/Lundqvist/Shesterkin).
im just not happy about the last 15 seconds of regulation. zibanejad and kakko were about to have a 2 on 1 break, but forsling holds/interferes with mika, spinning him out of the play, then on the same play, ekblad gets his stick on kakko's skate, tripping him and preventing him from getting a shot off. then, as time expires, trouba gives reinhart a shove, which i admit was late, so reinhart had a right to be angry, but he pretty much sucker punched trouba, or at least tried to. i get that the refs dont want to call things unless they have to because it might tip the game, but three potential calls in the waning seconds, youve got to at least make one of them. but lo and behold, a minute in, time that the rangers wouldve been on the pp, barkov gets hooked on a breakaway, somehow its called a pp and not a penalty shot, like he had a clear path to the net, wheeler was only anywhere near him because he was hooking. now look, im not trying to say that the rangers deserved to win here, since they got outplayed for 40 minutes in this one, but they didnt deserve to lose the way they did. if they get that late pp, dont score and florida still wins, i wouldnt be as pissed, and it probably wouldve happened, but the refs need to be better. some things you cant just swallow the whistle on
The other two maybe should've been called. I don't think anyone's gonna call anything if Trouba gets decked though unless it's really unbelievably egregious.
@@Falllll yeah, I agree and i think that it wasn't because trouba gave a bit of a crosscheck, but it's just the fact that nothing was called at all. Probably would've been a call in the regular season though
@@the1trueshark Trouba gave a nasty cross check and that could already have been called a penalty. And there were also penalties that didn't get called in favour for Rangers so i wouldn't complain as a Rangers fan
@@Mangos4uce calling the cross nasty is a bit of an overreaction, but it's better than a full on attempted punch. And this is playoff hockey, so calls are not going to be made, but when theres several in one play, especially when it breaks up a chance to score, you can't really swallow the whistle
The PK hasnt looked great, but it just feels like the officiating is way too one sided. The calls that go against feel very weak and you see Florida do it and nothing happens, especially the ending to regulation where two penalties end up saving Florida from a 2 on 1 that couldve won us the game and then of course barely a minute in a similar break goes for Florida and with no hesitation a hooking call is made. That being said the Rangers need to skate, they can beat Florida if they just put a 60 minute effort into the game. The first period was fantastic and we couldve strangled Florida if we continued to play like that, but the rest of the game it looked like they were skating in quick sand and completely forgot how to handle the puck and that just feeds Floridas game and it just snowballs because you just end up getting overworked and every shift ends up being survival. They're deeper than carolina and have a better goaltender and thats why the series is tied, but the rangers just need to flip the switch and i think we can beat Florida. They have the talent and the ability to beat Florida, but you have to execute and they just havent done that and it just feels like every other year where they have it for a couple games, but then the effort just disappears and it feels like they have no energy and desire to keep trying.
If you think the officiating is too one sided against the Rangers, then go look at how they got their first goal. 13 minutes left in the first. NY player was skating next to, then cuts in front of FLA player. Skating into and under his stick just to make it look like he was high sticked. Garbage. Manufactured theatrics to get a PP, and fist goal. One sided.....sure.
Take off your Rangers glasses and you can see that Rangers get away a lot of penalties. Just look at Trouba and you should see that he should be more in the box
Bitching about the officials is a loser’s lament. Yes, the officials have been inconsistent and generally horrible. I’m a Rangers fan and there is more than enough uncalled, dirty play - by both teams - to make the issue irrelevant. If they only missed the calls on one side, that’s an issue but I don’t see that. The Rangers seem to be back in one of those cycles where they just are not generating any offense. It happened a few times over the course of the season and it is definitely happening now. That’s the difference between winning in the playoffs or not. Your top players have to make things happen and that is simply not occurring. Zibanijed, Krieder, Panarin, have done nothing. Laffey, Trotchek and Goodrow are the only forwards that aren’t simply skating around each shift.
@@CharlieTWilbury well said. These are 2 physical teams, it make the WCF look like very polite, well mannered hockey. Lots more extra curricular aggressiveness by both teams in ECF. NY has difficulty with aggressive forecheck. Carolina and FLA's. Top offensive line spends almost whole shift in defensive zone, only able to dump in and change lines. There have been times in last 2 series that NY looked like they were playing 5 against 7. Shezerkstin has covered the difference so far, but FLA forecheck has been the dominant factor in each game. NY will either come up with an answer or face more of the same. Really looking forward to next 3 games, it's the level of hockey worth rewatching thanks to the DVR of the YT TV.
Where the hell was Trouba going on the GWG? Attacking the winger up past the top of the circle to make a hit. And, before he can turn around the puck is in the back of the net.
A brutal loss? Yeah, it was, but it wasn't embarrassing. We didn't play bad this game. We just happen to face the Panthers in THEIR arena. We had so many chances and the goals Florida scored excluding the overtime winner was just luck. The first one was behind Shesterkin and Florida somehow got it in. And the 2nd, the puck bounced off Verhaeghe, bounced off Lindgren, which allowed Verhaeghe to score from the air. Like, you can't predict that would happen. It wasn't Igor's fault, it's nobody's fault. It's just bad luck and people being at the wrong place at the wrong time (unless you are the Panthers, then it's the opposite). And the penalty Wheeler (who just came back) took in overtime. It was the right call, but come on. Barkov was on a breakaway! What was Wheeler supposed to do, allow him to score?? I seriously hate when people get penalties for just playing the game. Like, if Wheeler didn't trip Barkov, they would have scored. If Wheeler tripped Barkov, they would have scored. Like, what were the Rangers supposed to do there? Had the penalty didn't happen, who knows what would happen. Would the Rangers sneak their way, or would Florida still win anyways? And the correct answer is..................................we'll never know, because the penalty ended the game. It sucks, but we were close. The series isn't over yet, and we will go back home, which should help turn the tides in hopes we can win Game 5 and put the Panthers over the cliff with two chances to finish them. Panarin, Zibanejad, and Kreider do need to step up though (it doesn't help when one of the 2 best scorers for the team this series is Barclay Goodrow. BARCLAY GOODROW!! Thank god Lafreniere is the other, because when Barclay Goodrow of all people is the one leading the team, you're not going to make it far).
Zibanejad, Pararin, and Kreider have been invisible and need to step it up. These players make big money so they can disappear when it matters the most? At least Trocheck and Lafrenière can be counted on. The rest of this forward group needs to get it going. The big 3 especially.
The first line can’t get going if you’re going to have Trouba and Miller backing them up…shift Trouba off that pairing and put Schneider or Fox with Miller. Put Trouba on third pairing. The coach decision to play Wheeler is absolutely ridiculous considering he hasn’t played in months and this is the Conference Final playoff…stick with Chytil.

If the Rangers win the cup, Shesterkin probably wins the Conn Smythe, but I could see Lafreniere winning it, which would pretty much silence all of the talk about him being a bust. Lafreniere has been better than Panarin, Zibanejad, and Krieder. Probably better than Fox, too. So I think he's the skater on the Rangers that would be most likely to win the Conn Smythe if the Rangers win the cup and somehow Shesterkin doesn't get the Conn Smythe.
i feel like youve made a video bashing the rangers after every single loss this postseason. Everbody knew this would be a long series and im happy with taking a split in florida. If zibanejad panarin or kreider get going they look great. Doesnt even have to be all of them. If just one of them get hot we are in a great spot.
Last 15 min in the 3rd was hard to watch. As I was watching I genuinely couldn’t bear it anymore. I couldn’t even remember the last time they had any offensive zone pressure. It’s super embarrassing and I mean wtf are they even doing 🤦
Kreider, despite his big hat trick, is a -5 plus minus player right now for the rangers. Yuck. First line needs to step it up, even if line two is the real scoring line for the NYR…….. Igor needs help…..
I always love it when Baby Eck makes an appearance in your videos. Sure, not a physical appearance, but I love it when I hear his voice in the background. A vocal cameo if that makes sense. Could we please get more Baby Eck or maybe even a special segment at the end where he shares his "thoughts" on hockey games? Almost want to start a petition at this point. 😂
Brutal one for us Ranger fans… I’m hopeful they can adjust, because we’ve seen moments where the rangers are the dominant team spending loads of time in the offensive zone, but they need to find a way to sustain that if they want a chance to advance.
finally the fraud lucky run ends, always enjoy the top “stars” not show up in the playoffs when it counts lol, u guys gluck over panarin nd he doesnt do anything when it counts haha nd trouba is probably the worst defender in the league 😂😂 only there to make dirty hits, so much arrogance this year from all the fans so glad its over,
embarassing is this commentary. so rudimentary. Florida is favored to win for a reason. They're a damned fine hockey team. Rangers are a slight notch below. Boo.
I can't wait for the day Drury and Dolan admit that they were wrong for abandoning the rebuild in 2021 and apologize for wasting time in the playoffs three years in a row instead of getting more lottery picks to make an actual team instead of this unlikeable team of rentals and goons, but they won't
Honestly eck I used to like your videos but every video about the rangers have been negative, as a rangers fan I would expect a more positive attitude. We didn’t even play that bad game four besides our lack of possession.
The Panthers have been the better team all series, the Rangers just have amazing heart and never quit. The Panthers have dominated the puck possession and with the scoring chances this series.
igor only reason why this isnt a sweep. Hes been insane, obv a good goalie is needed but this is a different level. They completely rely on Igor and if he has a bad game then its over
For some reason I'm not going to overreact until the results of game 5 but the top line needs to step up big time no more excuses it doesn't matter how we win just freaking win
Like Subban said... SOMETHING has to be said about a team that finds ways to win even when they are statistically being outplayed. Mikas bar down shot goes in and things could look very different. Puck luck can go either way. Of COURSE Shesty is keeping NY in this... he's their best player on the ice at all times. He is an elite goaltender. His job is to stop enough pucks to give NY a chance to win with their offense and for the most part he has done that. This series is far from over. We'll see what happens tonight.

They have the talent and the ability to beat Florida, but you have to execute and they just havent done that and it just feels like every other year where they have it for a couple games, but then the effort just disappears and it feels like they have no energy and desire to keep trying.
If you think the officiating is too one sided against the Rangers, then go look at how they got their first goal.
13 minutes left in the first.
NY player was skating next to, then cuts in front of FLA player. Skating into and under his stick just to make it look like he was high sticked. Garbage. Manufactured theatrics to get a PP, and fist goal.
One sided.....sure.
Yeah the NHL is conspiring against NEW YORK to make sure media powerhouse Florida wins. That checks out.
Take off your Rangers glasses and you can see that Rangers get away a lot of penalties. Just look at Trouba and you should see that he should be more in the box
Bitching about the officials is a loser’s lament. Yes, the officials have been inconsistent and generally horrible. I’m a Rangers fan and there is more than enough uncalled, dirty play - by both teams - to make the issue irrelevant. If they only missed the calls on one side, that’s an issue but I don’t see that. The Rangers seem to be back in one of those cycles where they just are not generating any offense. It happened a few times over the course of the season and it is definitely happening now. That’s the difference between winning in the playoffs or not. Your top players have to make things happen and that is simply not occurring. Zibanijed, Krieder, Panarin, have done nothing. Laffey, Trotchek and Goodrow are the only forwards that aren’t simply skating around each shift.
@@CharlieTWilbury well said. These are 2 physical teams, it make the WCF look like very polite, well mannered hockey.
Lots more extra curricular aggressiveness by both teams in ECF.
NY has difficulty with aggressive forecheck. Carolina and FLA's. Top offensive line spends almost whole shift in defensive zone, only able to dump in and change lines. There have been times in last 2 series that NY looked like they were playing 5 against 7.
Shezerkstin has covered the difference so far, but FLA forecheck has been the dominant factor in each game.
NY will either come up with an answer or face more of the same.
Really looking forward to next 3 games, it's the level of hockey worth rewatching thanks to the DVR of the YT TV.
Rangers are an embarrassment 😆
And we LOVE it
All I hear is 2 babies (kidding of course).
Baby Eck gonna be a NJD fan.☠
Baby Eck is a Panthers fan
Where the hell was Trouba going on the GWG? Attacking the winger up past the top of the circle to make a hit. And, before he can turn around the puck is in the back of the net.
Baby 😳

A brutal loss? Yeah, it was, but it wasn't embarrassing. We didn't play bad this game. We just happen to face the Panthers in THEIR arena. We had so many chances and the goals Florida scored excluding the overtime winner was just luck. The first one was behind Shesterkin and Florida somehow got it in. And the 2nd, the puck bounced off Verhaeghe, bounced off Lindgren, which allowed Verhaeghe to score from the air. Like, you can't predict that would happen. It wasn't Igor's fault, it's nobody's fault. It's just bad luck and people being at the wrong place at the wrong time (unless you are the Panthers, then it's the opposite). And the penalty Wheeler (who just came back) took in overtime. It was the right call, but come on. Barkov was on a breakaway! What was Wheeler supposed to do, allow him to score?? I seriously hate when people get penalties for just playing the game. Like, if Wheeler didn't trip Barkov, they would have scored. If Wheeler tripped Barkov, they would have scored. Like, what were the Rangers supposed to do there? Had the penalty didn't happen, who knows what would happen. Would the Rangers sneak their way, or would Florida still win anyways? And the correct answer is..................................we'll never know, because the penalty ended the game. It sucks, but we were close. The series isn't over yet, and we will go back home, which should help turn the tides in hopes we can win Game 5 and put the Panthers over the cliff with two chances to finish them. Panarin, Zibanejad, and Kreider do need to step up though (it doesn't help when one of the 2 best scorers for the team this series is Barclay Goodrow. BARCLAY GOODROW!! Thank god Lafreniere is the other, because when Barclay Goodrow of all people is the one leading the team, you're not going to make it far).
Zibanejad, Pararin, and Kreider have been invisible and need to step it up. These players make big money so they can disappear when it matters the most? At least Trocheck and Lafrenière can be counted on. The rest of this forward group needs to get it going. The big 3 especially.
The hell was that baby sound at the beginning 💀💀
Probably his kid in the background
You're gonna freak out when you realize people have children
'the hell'
That was a bite sized homosapien
I think it was a baby
Rangers in 7
The first line can’t get going if you’re going to have Trouba and Miller backing them up…shift Trouba off that pairing and put Schneider or Fox with Miller. Put Trouba on third pairing.
The coach decision to play Wheeler is absolutely ridiculous considering he hasn’t played in months and this is the Conference Final playoff…stick with Chytil.

If the Rangers win the cup, Shesterkin probably wins the Conn Smythe, but I could see Lafreniere winning it, which would pretty much silence all of the talk about him being a bust. Lafreniere has been better than Panarin, Zibanejad, and Krieder. Probably better than Fox, too. So I think he's the skater on the Rangers that would be most likely to win the Conn Smythe if the Rangers win the cup and somehow Shesterkin doesn't get the Conn Smythe.
Florida's forecheck was absolutely relentless. I think there was a point in the 3rd where they went like 12 minutes without a shot ATTEMPT.
Go 🐈 Cats
i feel like youve made a video bashing the rangers after every single loss this postseason. Everbody knew this would be a long series and im happy with taking a split in florida. If zibanejad panarin or kreider get going they look great. Doesnt even have to be all of them. If just one of them get hot we are in a great spot.
Last 15 min in the 3rd was hard to watch. As I was watching I genuinely couldn’t bear it anymore. I couldn’t even remember the last time they had any offensive zone pressure. It’s super embarrassing and I mean wtf are they even doing 🤦
Kreider, despite his big hat trick, is a -5 plus minus player right now for the rangers. Yuck. First line needs to step it up, even if line two is the real scoring line for the NYR…….. Igor needs help…..
I always love it when Baby Eck makes an appearance in your videos. Sure, not a physical appearance, but I love it when I hear his voice in the background. A vocal cameo if that makes sense. Could we please get more Baby Eck or maybe even a special segment at the end where he shares his "thoughts" on hockey games?
Almost want to start a petition at this point. 😂
Brutal one for us Ranger fans… I’m hopeful they can adjust, because we’ve seen moments where the rangers are the dominant team spending loads of time in the offensive zone, but they need to find a way to sustain that if they want a chance to advance.
finally the fraud lucky run ends, always enjoy the top “stars” not show up in the playoffs when it counts lol, u guys gluck over panarin nd he doesnt do anything when it counts haha nd trouba is probably the worst defender in the league 😂😂 only there to make dirty hits, so much arrogance this year from all the fans so glad its over,
FLA are already a great team, but they're becoming unstoppable with a coach like Paul Maurice not only coaching them well, but rallying them hard.
embarassing is this commentary. so rudimentary. Florida is favored to win for a reason. They're a damned fine hockey team. Rangers are a slight notch below. Boo.
I can't wait for the day Drury and Dolan admit that they were wrong for abandoning the rebuild in 2021 and apologize for wasting time in the playoffs three years in a row instead of getting more lottery picks to make an actual team instead of this unlikeable team of rentals and goons, but they won't
Honestly eck I used to like your videos but every video about the rangers have been negative, as a rangers fan I would expect a more positive attitude. We didn’t even play that bad game four besides our lack of possession.
Thank you Mika :) Bro has been garbage ever since the end of last seasons regular season. He is nothing anymore XD Just a waste of space.
Mika literally lost the game
The Panthers have been the better team all series, the Rangers just have amazing heart and never quit. The Panthers have dominated the puck possession and with the scoring chances this series.
Baby eck 😮
igor only reason why this isnt a sweep. Hes been insane, obv a good goalie is needed but this is a different level. They completely rely on Igor and if he has a bad game then its over
For some reason I'm not going to overreact until the results of game 5 but the top line needs to step up big time no more excuses it doesn't matter how we win just freaking win
Ah yes eck the fake rangers fan insulting our team again and pointing out the obvious
Igor is carrying New York harder than what McDavid is for Edmonton.
Im gonna be sick is Igor steals this series, panthers are the much better team imo and this is probably our best chance to win the cup.
let’s go florida- oh wait i forgot your a rangers fan… um, hey how was your day today? 😁 (leafs fan)
Barkov is putting on a clinic (along with his linemates) on how to shut down your top guys.
Without shesterkin this series is 3 -1 Fla at best. Could have been a clean sweep already.
I feel like Florida hasn't looked like they want it more, and that's why it's been close.
Rangers biggest mickey playoff run of all time have been dominated in every series
I thought the comments were calling this dude a baby at first lol
Rangers are DEFINITELY being punished in their D zone
Go panthers. They look scary good. Hopefully this is their year.
Rangers did not deserve to win game 3. they won't win the series. Igor cant save them.
Igor shesterkin is carrying the rangers. They cant just let igor carry them.
Best goalie they've ever had
@@udttdujgxking henrik doesn’t exist?
@@predat0r178 igor way better
Will the real rangers please stand up U know who I mean and I don't mean igor
Let Baby Eck do the next one 🔥🔥
Zibanajad had two or three horrible passes and the last one cost him.
Without Igor rags woulda been out in 5 against the Canes.
As soon as I saw the panthers get on the power play in OT I knew it was over
This is Igor vs the Panthers. No other way to describe it.
Like Subban said... SOMETHING has to be said about a team that finds ways to win even when they are statistically being outplayed. Mikas bar down shot goes in and things could look very different. Puck luck can go either way. Of COURSE Shesty is keeping NY in this... he's their best player on the ice at all times. He is an elite goaltender. His job is to stop enough pucks to give NY a chance to win with their offense and for the most part he has done that. This series is far from over. We'll see what happens tonight.
Mika's bar down shot was saved by Bob so...
Games 3 and 4 tbh beyond lucky to tied 2-2
