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.

 

 

Rangers are soft, been saying it for how long.  

Round 1 - Caps are brutal

Round 2 - series could’ve easily went the other way

Round 3 - uh oh

I hope they come back, I hope they show heart, I hope Panarin proves me wrong

but right now I’m pissed

The reality is the Rangers have had one good period over the last three or four games. 

So so true

Haven’t seen Panarin engaged since he knocked Oshie. Wonder when he will show up again, when’s the 24/25 regular season start?

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.    

No issue with Chytil over Rempe, would rather see Rempe over Vesey or Wennberg at this point though.  
 

Edit: Phil reminded me of Roslovic, yea he’s the odd man out now

I posted this last round and got ripped so f…k off I am doing it again

 

Fox needs to sit as he has nothing with a bum leg, look at his points in the playoffs. Jones is well rested, can skate and would be better then peg leg.

 

Chytl should not be playing against this team. Replace him with someone other then Rempe

 

If we have another extra one play Othman over Wennburg as he is fucking useless 

 

Time for a Shesty rest and reset. Start Quick and as it always wakes this team up. It’s not like Quick does

not have any playoff experience plus what did we get him for!

 

If changes are not made guaranteed

done in 4 at best 5 !

this was dumb then, it’s even dumber now…congrats

Not if it was on someone that is one concussion away from being a vegetable

I know Florida plays physical just jeeze fucking try to forecheck, Florida walked out of the zone all night.  Rangers weren’t in this game, this wasn’t on the goalies.  Florida was better, period

Didn't say it was dirty, with 10 seconds, or so left, it wasn't necessary

If Trouba did it, we would be celebrating it

Bread needs to grow a pair and start playing. His disappearing act is getting old 

Shhh don’t say that too loud

One of the softest games a team has played in a conference finals game, that was pathetic

Misses the hook on Trocheck and then calls one on Laf 10 seconds later. Fuck off…

neither were a penalty

Nothing gives me any confidence right now

Clean up the transition game, too many neutral zone fumbles and dopey passes by the d men. Carry the puck more if needed but stop with the bad passes when not even pressured.

They’re scared of getting hit

Theyre being bullied, if they don’t start to push back, they’re fuck

Sofffffftttttt

Here comes a shortie

Good thing a series isn’t won or lost in the 1st period of game 1.  Need a better effort, especially from number 10

Why is this thread still going

He was a soft hockey player

He isn't a "backup" just because they get less time than the other four. The other four are offensive threats, hence their deployment. 

 

When Lavvy was going through the rotation and telling certain players that they had to sit because other players needed to play, it was never Vesey sitting.

 

This isn't about what you guys would do, this is about what the team is probably going to do, and the fact is Rempe probably isn't playing. And if he does, I would be shocked to see Vesey sit.

Great, I’m just looking for more toughness against a tough, physical, and at times dirty team.  I wouldn’t sit Cuylle because he plays a bigger game as well.  I wouldn’t sit Wennberg because of his defensive style and he’s a centerman.  So to me Vesey would be the odd man out if they want a more physical player in Rempe.  That’s just my opinion

Don’t forget nutcheck

Just keep it simple in the defensive zone, if the play isn’t there, don’t force it, off the glass and forecheck.
 

Just keep it simple in the offensive zone, if the play isn’t there, don’t force it, just throw it at the net and hope for a deflection or rebound. 
 

It doesn’t always have to be pretty

They're not going to sit a penalty killer for Rempe.

He’s their 6th PK forward, like BB said, Kakko can do it.  Or sit Kakko for Rempe if it’s a big concern.  But I rather keep Kakko in a lineup against a physical Panthers team.  
 

And Chytil should be on the PP2, can’t remember if they gave him any time in the game he played last series

If Chytil is a go, Rempe should be in for Vesey
