I bet Chytil was just the flu or whatever that everyone else was getting., and he’ll be ready

If Chytil is ready to go you have to start him. As much as I like Rempe we need speed and scoring. Chytil provides both. Rempe is getting better. I can only imagine what this team will be when they have a healthy Chytil and an improved skating Rempe. Wow!

Rangers have beaten the Panthers 6 of their last 9. We have won 4 of 6 against the “Tkachuk Era” Panthers. I went back to 2021-2022, since that was the year the Panthers really re-emerged and won the Presidents Trophy. Last season, they won all 3 meetings. This year, obviously the 3 games where either team could have won all 3. The back and forth affair in Florida with Quick in net. The game in MSG where Florida won on a bad Igor goal late. And then the shootout back in March when it seemed like ABC knew this was destined to happen.

 

I like the matchup. I would have preferred Boston. But the more I think about it, the more I like it. We found time and space enough to score against the Canes. Not discrediting Florida, but the way Carolina plays I think was a good warm up as to what to expect here.

 

Bobrovsky is obviously a few weight classes ahead of Andersen. So that will be a challenge. But I really feel like this is a series that our top guys will find time and space; more so than they did against Carolina.

 

This team is ready. It may be a slugfest but I think this is a series we’re going to come out of winning.

I agree with you if the Rangers find more time and space which I think they will against Florida they’re going to score more. Igor obviously I think has to be the huge factor here if he’s on Florida is gonna have a very tough time. Nothing against Florida’s goaltender, but IGOR is definitely better. Let’s go Rangers.

It’s the Panthers next ….

Anyone really follow the league and can talk about matchups, strengths / weaknesses of each team, etc? 

 

I am mainly a Rangers fan, and only casually follow the NHL overall.  I know the stars from each team: Florida has Tkachuk / Barkov / Reinhart / Bobrovsky and Boston has Pasta / Marchand / Swayman / McAvoy. 

 

I'm just curious who we may matchup better with given our strengths...my gut says Boston is the better matchup for us...but as Phil said, at this point, who really cares, we gonna wipe the floor with whoever is across the rink from us   Still on a high from last night, so maybe call this thread "Sandstrom's nervous energy ramblings" LOL

Mr. Sandstrom this a great thread. I sm still buzzing from the win last night too! Im 55 and you would think I would be able to say hey get your job done at work will talk Rangers hockey later. Hell no!!! Somethings never get old. My gut says Boston cause i think the Rangers have a better chance to move through them to the Stanley Cup round. But another part of me thinks even if it’s Florida the Rangers can take them too. It will probably be more of an offensive series if it’s Florida. We will need Rempe to keep Bennet at bay  incase he starts some shit. Rangers are very deep and rolling right now. Rangers -Boston Rangers in 5 …Rangers -Florida …Rangers in 6…

Go say hi to your Devils buddies today, Big Ed....see how they're feeling!

 

Tell 'em Ozzy said hi, and go stuff it!  LOL

Ozzy trust me I wanted to go down my bar that he actually works in Thursday night, walk in yell out “hey Sean, how about those rangers! “ “are you still carrying Jack Hughes golf balls for his tee time tomorrow, bitch?” 
Trust me I look extremely forward to seeing his drunken ass either tonight or Saturday night. I will be wearing either my Fox or Lundqvist jersey those nights..

So maybe now we can stop with the "they don't play with effort" and "they have no heart". Effort is never the question. G5 they just looked out of sync all night and it was an uncharacteristic performance. It's not a hallmark of this team, this year.

What I’m taking great delight are the devils fans who are seeing history repeat itself…. Rangers did it 30 years ago and now last night… the compare and contrast of 94 to today must be burning their collective asses…

Probably the reason they were so slow in G5.

That can definitely explain why they seemed a step behind…

2-1 w/ Rempe and 2-1 w/o Rempe that series. There’s no magic elixir here. I hope the best player who can contribute offensively gets played because that’s what they will need. If not Chytil, I want Wheeler next. With the amount of drive he has to have to get back in there as an option after that injury, I suspect that man has something to give. It’s gotta be killing him to be on the sidelines, but his energetic cheerleading has been admirable. I don’t see why he can’t be asked to play 4th line. He’s a defensively responsible player and provides slide-up depth in game.

 

Best case is Chytil and Wheeler both back.

 

Cuylle-Chytil-Kakko

Goodrow-Wennberg-Wheeler

 

Vesey takes a seat.

Just imagine if a healthy Chytil and an improved skating Rempe playing full time all season next year. Holy shit look out NHL!!!!
RANGERS BE KICKIN MUCH ASS!!!

They need him to match up against Bennett (assuming Florida does what everyone expects).

Yeah I agree if they they meet Florida they need an enforcer (REMPE) to keep that fuck Bennett at bay…

Postgame: Chris didn't admit it, but trocheck chimed in to confirm that Chris said he had one on his stick. OMG. I love this fucking team so much. 

 

 

 

The Rangers have advanced to the Eastern Conference Final for the second time in three years and fifth time since 2012. The Lightning (6) are the only other team since 2012 that have made 5-plus Conference Finals/Semifinal appearances

I wouldn’t pay to watch Hughes play but I’d pay to watch that

Dude, this game is for the ages. It’s really scary 1994 Messier game six down 2-0 come back to win…2024 down 3-1 game six Carolina come back to win. There’s some really eerie shit going on. Let’s go Rangers!!!!!
