Pesce is a huge piece for them that I doubt we see this series. Though he didn’t want to confirm it during that interview he did where he announced Fast would likely be out for the playoffs, his body language made it seem like Pesce would be too. He left the door open but I don’t think we see him. And if we do, he would be at much less than 100%. That was the vibe I got, at least.
Agreed. He's a shot suppression specialist. No matter how good ADA has been over two games, he's not Pesce.

Market-wise, they probably want DAL-NYR or COL-NYR.
New York is the number one television market in the U.S. Dallas-Forth Worth is fifth. Denver is 17th. Vancouver is third largest in Canada, but I'm not sure how much that maps to U.S. numbers.
The NHL will want a Canadian team and they will be hard into nostalgia.

I feel like they keep mentioning it in hopes of jinxing it like with a no-hitter or perfect game in baseball.
I'm not really feeling like there's any type of bias that a lot of you guys are talking about.
Let's be honest, does ESPN really want a Carolina / Dallas final? Of course not.
What they should be hoping for is Vancouver / New York.

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
Yeah the expected number... That seems weird.
But the chances number feels right, equal high and mid, Carolina more low danger because they're chuckers.
It's interesting because last season I felt Tro was a chucker and this season he was much more selective and he passed much more. Coming straight from Carolina, you have to wonder if this Brindamour style actually stifles the creativity in creating a great opportunity in favor of volume opportunity and preference to score on broken plays.

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
I agree on the end of your post, however as far as the upfront stuff I think CSAs stuff is right.
I felt like Carolina's mid danger number is right, I thought they had more quality chances but my point all along has been they don't cash in. The Rangers cash in on their high danger chances more often than Carolina does and that's the difference.

You conveniently forget how you defend Zib because of Kreider’s lack of ability to finish but please go on.Now we're on to Zib
It keeps getting better. Keep moving the goal posts buddy.
Making a comment during a general discussion in March is in no way shape or form the same as dissecting a player who just had three points in a playoff overtime win.
Keep ignoring the context. That's what this is all about. I don't give a shit who you complain about, but it's wild to me that you're complaining about anybody considering the place the team is at.
Red and blue are the same because they're both colors, but there's a million others things that make red different from blue. You keep trying to make red and blue the same, but they aren't.

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...
Said the same here.

Pretty much aligns with what we saw.
But it also points out what we already knew... The Rangers are much more productive with their high danger chances.
Carolina generates a lot of chances and a lot of them are low danger.
I will take the Rangers matching Carolina on high danger chances and giving up more low danger chances all day long. Let Igor handle that.

I tongue in cheek said Laf and Tro are carrying that line, just like I’ve been doing all season long. Someone started with his 3 assists and that’s where I actually went to look because I didn’t even know he had those assists and the conversation evolved from there. You want to take it as negativity, go ahead, have at it. It’s funny that you can brush off the Kreider comment off as whataboutism (hate that word) when you’ve been ragging him all year. So for you it’s not being negative on a player, right? I’m glad you will celebrate a cup, I and other will be celebrating as well but pleas do me a favor and take a look in the mirror when you want to say people are negative and miserable.If you think me saying Kreider would have more points if he tried harder, or that he never hits anybody or uses his speed, as general comments....
Is the same as you specifically dissecting Panarin's 3 assists in an overtime win in the middle of the playoffs where the Rangers are undefeated and in the best position versus all of the other remaining playoff teams...
Then I don't know what to tell you, cuz those things are not the same no matter how much you want them to be.

Not sure where I said you sit there stewing so I assume you mean I do? Contrary to your belief, it is wrong. If you also want to assume that I’m not enjoying the ride, that is also wrong. I am very well enjoying the ride. If critiquing means I’m not enjoying the ride and being miserable, that’s your opinion. But I can assure you that your opinion is wrong.Enjoy your game day
People form opinions based on what you put out there. I'm only commenting on what you put out there. Nobody knows what goes on in your head, but as far as reading what's out here, there is nothing but negativity which again to me is bananas considering the position this team is in.
Undefeated in the playoffs.
3 Conn Smythe contenders.
Best and hottest goalie left in the playoffs.
But sure, let's complain about a guy who just had three assists, seven points in six games, because the assists were secondary or came off a broken play.
Sure, that makes total sense and is the hallmark of someone who's enjoying themselves.
I wonder what it looks like when the team is actually bad.

What's the over/under on how many times they bring up Shesterkin's playoff string of consecutive games with 3 or less goals let up?
Three or less, obviously.

You mean like you and others complaining about 40+ goal scorer Kreider? I call him out and not a peep from anyone. I mention that Panarin has been invisible and everyone has their panties in a bunch.
I know a team won’t dominate for 60 minutes, I’m not naive, but I’m not allowed to point out where they need to improve or that means I’m not enjoying it and won’t enjoy a Stanley Cup
Haven't complained about Kreider at all in the playoffs. In fact, I praised his engagement. Because at this point it doesn't matter. During the regular season, the Kreider vibe is just lazy hockey. I don't criticize him after every single game. That's just who he is and how he rolls.
The constant whining after every game about specific players when the team is performing this well is fucking ridiculous.
But hey, if the best you can do is whataboutism, then I don't know what to tell you. Is it possible to point out when needs to be better while enjoying yourself, yes but all you talk about is the negative. If you want to sit there and be miserable while the rest of us are enjoying the ride, to each their own.
I'll be happy to celebrate a cup win while you in certain others are still lobbying to trade Panarin.

Good for Pasta for standing up for himself and the team but that is bush league shit from Tkachuk asking Pasta to fight.
That's how he rolls. That's how his brother rolls too. Find the guy on the ice whose least likely to give you a beating, and go grab him.

If you don’t think they can be better, I don’t know what to tell you. I’ve seen some sloppy play that you can get away with against a Caps team and with Shesterkin playing great, but that won’t last as the playoffs go on. Again, like I’ve said numerous times, they are capable of being better and cleaning their shit up.Everything can always be better, if you expect perfect 60 minute domination of every game in the playoffs you'll always be disappointed. Laviolette even said this a few days ago.
Could some players be better? Sure. But you choose to focus on the negative for some reason, instead of the fact they're 6-0 right now with the hottest goalie in the playoffs. Why not enjoy that?
Feels like if they win a Cup you'll complain about Panarin not scoring enough or Zib not having enough 5v5 points, which is wild.

It’s funny that we can’t enjoy and still want more. I guess Trouba’s play can also remain status quo.
Last night was the first time Trouba has been on for a goal against in the playoffs.
Yeah, that pair had a horrific game, which at the end of the day cost the team nothing.
If you're always wanting more from a 6-0 team maybe it's time to re-evaluate your expectations.

200' PAG centre, wins draws like Peter Zezel, the other team hates him and his cap hit is almost negligible.
I've never liked the guy, but he is incredibly valuable.
He was the best contract in the league this year.

Exactly. So why are people losing their minds if a guy who plays four minutes gets swapped out?

Brozinski was a 3rd liner in the same way Wheeler was a 1st liner and Bonino was a 3rd liner for awhile.
Not saying that Brodz doesn't put his best effort out there every shift because he does but he's a very good AHL player and there is no way he doesn't get exposed by the 'Canes at some point.
You just described Rempe, who's much worse at hockey than Brodz.

This makes me so happy.
That we could finally stop talking about Rempe playing.
