Sharpshooter

I can't wait to read all the Zac Jones takes after this game where the Rangers got bullied by size and strength in their own end for most of the game. There were several Florida players who could not be pushed off the puck as they cycled. Let me just go ahead and address it now that Zac Jones does not solve anything, and not what you want for this series. Neither does Chad Rudeweasel. Adam Fox struggled enough with the physicality. They don't need less size and strength in the lineup.

 

 

lol I completely forgot they got Ruwedel. Another worthless acquisition just like the others at the deadline.

The Rangers just need to wake up and be better, much better.

At least they'll be even more rested for this series after another off day tonight.

Great personnel choice starting Chytil at home over Rempe.  Chytil put in a very impactful 9:17 with no shots, no hits, no nothing, and certainly did more than a kid that could change momentum in a game against the most physical team in the league with one hit. Let's see if Lavi wants to try the same thing again in game 2.    

Just a dud of a game all around from the coaching on out.

It wasn’t a good game but this out of character. Maybe it’s rust from sitting for a few days or something. Igor sucked. Laf with a stupid penalty and stupid play in the 3rd. Very sloppy play all around. They have to do better offensively but they had chances. 

Very uncharacteristic for both. Hopeful that this was just a dud, and they can rebound. More adversity here in what us essentially a must win type of game.

Worst they looked in a playoff game since game seven in 2015, especially at home? Better come out with a plan and better lineup in game two, or this will be over quickly.

Chytil should not be playing, especially against this team, given his condition. They could really fuck him up even more. 

Sucks about Fox. Him being likely hurt and a non factor basically this entire postseason, is a huge weapon lost.

Both of these teams are good on the road anyway. Bottom line is Rangers need to be engaged, even a little bit, to win this thing.

Yup, as I can't see them doing better than a split in Florida. Absolutely can't come back to MSG down 3-1. Sucks going into essentially a must-win already, but it is what it is. 

Got a bit spoiled and relaxed starting 7-0. I appreciated that big time because they bever make things easy.

Well, fuck. Guess Game 2's gonna have to be a tremendous comeback or this is going to be a painfully short series. 

They're fucked if they go back to Florida down two games. Must win next game.

Lmao. That's a bow on the evening.

Just rewound it. Wennberg in the middle of the ice puck on stick can't put it in the open net. This guy is an absolute fucking dud on offense. He's a 4th liner. Move him down or out. He's killing any offense on the 3rd

He's been even more useless than I thought he'd be.

Not going to get another chance the rest of the game.

lol Just not their night.

It's 3 good periods of hockey in the last 4 games by my count. 2nd and 3rd of G4, 3rd of G6. Das it.

At best, yes. Not very good either way.

Kreider's great third period aside in game six, this is the third game in a row they've looked like shit.

Oh, maybe they get lucky here. Should be overturned.

Done.

Gus isn't beating Bob straight up like that. If you want to blame anyone, blame Kakko for being completely isolated from the play all the fucking way on the boards instead of presenting himself as a better shooting option.

Ready to move on from him, honestly. Brings barely anything.

My God, their heads are in the clouds.

This is by far the weirdest playoff game I’ve ever seen lol

All the excitement and energy of the final game of preseason.

It only takes one shot to tie it, but they actually need to get some of those to do that.

This is a slog. lol

Yikes.
