gdt: [ECQR] (#3) Rangers v. Carolina Hurricanes // Cue the Funeral Procession

Unpopular opinion, Rick was mostly fine in the playoffs for the rangers.

 

10 goals in 54 games.. there is really nothing else that needs to be said .

Was Hank practicing his retirement speech?

yes, Georgiev is chopping onions for him.

If there's a silver lining in this whole thing, ADA finally took a knee.

Well that?s that, time for the lottery.

Last game for Sam???

Unfortunate but not completely unexpected. Can't win if you can't score. That's about all I needed to know that there wouldn't be any difference between who was in goal.

Last time we won, we got Kakko, you think Kakko will be a difference maker in the NHL? I really doubt it, seems like a decent complementary one dimensional winger.

was Kakko scratched tonight? Asking for a friend?

I can't believe I waited for months for this and they couldn't even win one game. What a team, what a coach, what a luck, back to reality and the tree that fell on my car.

Anyone else have that ?feeling? when Fast went down? ?Is this how it?s going to be??

 

Bad omen. Not that Fast alone would have made the difference but it seemed to me like it was the first edge of a dark playoff cloud.

his sugar level dropped off, very mercurial fragile talent.

no, the bad omen was Shesterkin "unfit to play" and Lundqvist getting the nod over Georgiev who is way better.

well, no doubt who the better team was this series. There's some Rangers I'm looking forward to watching next year, and a few I hope never don a Rangers jersey ever again. Another offseason to improve the roster and plug some holes. Keep building a better team.

Yup. Igor not starting. HUGE

Shesterkin played today and still gave up three. It doesn't matter who the goaltender was this series. The Rangers scored four goals in three games. Goalies can't score goals for you too.

is trading Trouba for 1st rounder+ part of keep building a better team?

Agreed. And the defense was far from the playoff calibre defense we enjoyed back in the early 2010s. Regardless of the goalie in net, we'd need on average 3-4 goals to win each of these games. You shouldn't need to have to score that many goals per game in the playoffs. Very leaky defense and a completely MIA offense was the real culprit here.
