Need to score early in 3rd and then they still have a chance.  If they don’t comeback I would seriously consider Jones for Gus and changing the lines a bit.  

I'd consider Jones for Gus, Jones for Miller, Jones for trouba

So what's going to be excuse...I guess the President's Trophy curse strikes again. Cause this team is showing no semblance of one that can fight back and win Game 7. 

It's the curse of the core of this roster since assembled. Need to get rid of the ballerinas, gliders n pussies w no heart off season. Party is over. 

We will need a miracle to win this this series. They look defeated. No heart w the exception of 4-5 players on this team

Lindgren is a step behind tonight. Fox missing still. Panarin playing like it's October. Shesterkin out to lunch. Wheres the coach?

Panarin playing like it's the playoffs for him.  Guy needs to go I'm sorry. He's a regular season prince and a postseason pumpkin

Great pinch miller. How old are you going to be before you understand what a responsible pinch is??????

This goes to game 7 I give us around 5% odds of winning. 

This game is over

Better score here

Whole team is acting like pylons

The offense is totally out of sink.  It all starts with actually having the puck.  The problem is the rangers are spending most of each shift chasing the puck around the ice and then when they actually get it they simply can only dump it and make a line change.  They continue to chase the game.  Soul searching time in the locker room-  where is the speed? Where is the grit?  This team came back over and over again this year- it’s time to show it now!

They have to scheme a way to enter w puck on tape n beat the trap. They have been stymied 2-1/3 games now w o zone entry

Ugly breakdown. Great period. We’ve come back all year. Keep pushing.

 

We will get our chances.

Except the last 2 games lol but I appreciate the sentiment Richie

Good def plan just let unchecked skaters right in front of the net. What can go wrong

1st lines cancelling Kreider zib line needs to score

Andersen giving up rebounds

Low hard point shots n forwards crowd the net. He been giving up a lot of rebounds all series. Need the greasy goals. 

Shesty looking good but please please please stop handling the puck. Freeze it or let yr defensemen deal w it. Everytime he tried to move the puck out of the zone it leads to a scoring opportunity against

WTF is that quote from Shesty in the OP?

If tripping is what has made him so good.....keep on tripping Igor

Or maybe it's a tongue twister in his English for dummies book lol

Could be Dem. I wonder what Kreiders excuse is? 

Old age n self preservation I think

It's hard for me to understand how professional athletes, in the playoffs, making millions of dollars like these guys, aren't out there giving their all every night.

Agree 100% Abe. The old story was that the cup doesn't mean as much to the Euro/Scandinavian player. Not sure I believe that but it does usually seem that they are the ones that punk out 1st for the Rangers.

third line has to be Cuylle-Chytil-Kakko.  No other option.  Wennberg should not be anywhere close to offensive players.  

That's reasonable a guy to drive possession, a rugged checking forward who can score and a natural goal scorer. That makes really good sense to me Alb

Don't get me wrong I like Chytil but his skill set really lends itself to top 6 scoring line but there's no room at the inn

If Chytil can't play:

 

Kreider - Zibanejad - Cuylle
Panarin - Trocheck - Lafrenière
Roslovic - Wennberg - Kakko
Vesey - Goodrow - Rempe

 

Lindgren - Fox
Miller - Schneider
Jones - Trouba

 

If Chytil can play:

 

Kreider - Zibanejad - Cuylle
Panarin - Trocheck - Lafrenière
Chytil - Wennberg - Kakko
Vesey - Goodrow - Rempe

 

Lindgren - Fox
Miller - Schneider
Jones - Trouba

 

Cuylle/Chytil can change if it isn't working or Rangers need more scoring punch mid-way through the game.

I like this Phil. My only angst is with the second options third line. I think, like the prior game w Chytle in, the third line has an identity crisis. What is that line is it now a scoring line or a checking line? 

Maybe it can be both but it didn't seem to my eye to work out the other night w Chytle in.

Just my observation on it.

Pussies. Fucking pussies.

 

All night. 
 

This team is gonna get blown the fuck up if the unthinkable happens.

This team should be blown up if the unthinkable happens. Can't blame it on GG this time. 

Throw in the towel. These guys are obviously not interested in playing. This does not bode well for this series. I'm actually questioning their ability to close this shit out at this point. Would have never thought I'd be here mentally.

I never thought they would sweep but the way they are playing is just like they are uninterested. Not good
