Cuylle! Great pass Kakk

He had nothing to do with that play. All Goodrow.

Bad turnover by Goody.

There’s a better case to be upset with Rempe out for Brodzinski. I’m not sure about it. I suppose they still don’t need what Rempe brings right now, and Brodzinski is a better chance for some offense, but I dunno. It’s a lot closer than doing it for Chytil.

You’re in a Trump mood tonight eh? Got your 24 vote ready for him?

Who wears a team’s hockey jersey during the playoffs when the team is out golfing and never made it

Happy to be a part of the train Don't forget Kreider and what he does to you and @Albatrosss and pretty much everybody on this board on a near game by game basis, except me and @Phil

Isn't it past the point of rewarding or punishing veterans over a few bad plays in 1 game, a game where that player was also the most physical on the team and blocked 8 shots? I dunno, I just don't look at it as being rewarded as much as it is more like depending on a veteran player to shake it off. They need his physicality and willingness to sacrifice the body in these games whether anyone likes it or not. He's playing hard.

Trouba has been very good except for 2-3 mistakes in game 2. That’s why he’s logging minutes. He’s been physical and blocking a ton of shots. 19 blocked shots in this series. Next closest is Goodrow with 7. Don’t underrate what those two are doing here. Cuylle has been a dud offensively for like 3 months. He’s good for body checks and not much else right now, good for the 4th line and limited minutes

Is it rope a dope if the high danger is as big a gap as CSA says it is? I don’t trust CSA, very strange. NST has 5v5/ES close, a little in favor for Canes, EvolvingHockey has it a little in favor of the Rangers. This has been a close matchup by all accounts….except CSA.

We all love Valley, but I’m sorry I find this incredibly unlikely to be accurate based on what I’ve seen to this point. CSA ES 11.21 to 5.27 xGF in favor of Canes 23 to 12 HDCF, Canes NST ES 8.45 to 6.97 xGF, Canes 33-30 HDCF, Canes Valley went on and blasted ESPN and all of the non-ESPN statistical analysts who contributed to the article with their data models, and they all said the same thing that the Rangers were average to below average at 5v5 expected goals while Valley said the Rangers were 9th at CSA. Now NST is saying it’s pretty damn close, which is what I’ve seen watching these games, and CSA is saying the Rangers are getting walked on the ice and this is basically just Shesterkin stealing games. Again, love Valley but I have serious doubts about the accuracy of CSA at this juncture.
