I’ve been to many Rangers/Canes regular season games down here and yeah it’s always been like that. I went to game 5 2 years ago expecting about the same and it wasn’t like that. Canes fans seemed to hold onto their tickets pretty good, and it was the loudest event I can ever recall attending. Ear splitting

Having trouble envisioning any of those tbh

no you

If a goalie is on and stopping everything, chucking with bodies in front is the way. If there were no special teams last game, Carolina probably would have had a higher probability of scoring a pinball goal. Eventually that chuck from the blue line hits 3 skates on the way in

yes, and measure in centimeters to feel better

Rod the bod sounds a little desperate looking to catch lightning in a bottle with the goalie switch

There’s plenty of pictures online. Here’s one

I might go to game 4 so it'd be pretty nice to be up 3-0.

He's not in his teens or early 20s anymore, so that seems unlikely. I'm not concerned about it like you are though.

That was for 3rd period/OT only, but the OT goal shifted Freddy into the negative on high danger. It only reached 2OT because he also made plenty of really good saves, high danger included. “Just about” wasn’t good enough though that’s why I said it lol

It could be. I missed portions of the 1st/2nd because kids bedtime so I could have missed waves of Carolina domination, but this was Valley sharing expected for the 3rd and OT where I was glued to the tv… Way more even in expected and in line with what I was seeing. After Kreider’s goal the goalies were so good

That graphic feels way off. NST had it way more even both at 5v5 and all strengths, and as I watched the game I thought it was way more even without even looking. Not taking away from Igor at all but I thought Freddy had to be just about as good. People have to dig deeper than shot differential. Typically Carolina also dominates at high danger and that’s where the ice tilts. They haven’t here at all, and the low danger bullshit is like posting thoughts and prayers on facebook after a tragedy

He has been, but DeAngelo replaced him and has been very good in the first 2 games even though nobody probably wants to admit that. Also, that stinks. We've missed Chytil all season. Thems the breaks.

NYR 5v5 through 2 games: 4 GF 4 GA, 50.42 xGF%, 22-19 HDCF, 48-57 SC (all scoring chances) The results are even and they deserve to be even. Don't care about total scoring chance differences when high danger is at least balanced, and so far slightly in the Rangers' favor. This all backs up the eye test through the first 2. The teams have traded chances at 5v5. The fact the Rangers have been able to essentially nullify the 5v5 advantage, and lean into their strengths on special teams and in net, is a terrific start to the series. Hoping this tune carries forward into Raleigh...

This reads like an oxymoron. Reasons to dislike him despite all those reasons to like him are…? Fucked your wife while you were golfing?
