Br4d Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 The thing about all the cycling is that the value depends on the scoring attempt it promotes at the end of the sequence. This year that has tended to be an easy chance for the goalie. Last year on the PP the cycling turned into Zibanejad one-timers and Kreider deflections. The Rangers high value chances this year tend to come off of a simpler progression of a pass into the zone and then a cross-ice pass for a shot against an unbalanced goalie. Once they settle down and start cycling it feels like all of the promise is gone in a few passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bieser Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 With the exception of the Islanders every game one loser won game 2. The Isles went to OT. I expect the best NJ has tonight and I'd love to get this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 They were like +300 after the 1st Period on the 60 minute line. Almost jumped at it but didn’t want to be bad luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flynn Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I want to see a team that smell blood and the water and goes into a feeding frenzy. No bullshit, just choke them out. Break the cycle of long series after long series this club seems to live for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bullshit, just choke them out. Break the cycle of long series after long series this club seems to live for. I'm hopeful this is the difference Kane and Tank make. We've lacked that killer instinct before in the playoffs. This should be business as usual. No stupidity, no letting them in it, no north-south open ice BS. Shut down, take your chances when they come. They'll be amped up from a rabid crowd at MSG but first goal is REALLLLYY important. Can't get sloppy on the energy. I WANT to believe we can do this in 4 or 5, but after Tampa last year, and what we did to Carolina and Pittsburgh, I'm terrified of dropping 3 straight. Isn't that what happened in 1994 too? Won the first two, mailed it in for 3, the Guarantee, and then Matteau. Could've been easy, but it's the Rangers so it was double-OT game 7 agonizing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want Smitty for grit, put him as the 4th line RW, he played F for us, and insert Hughes on D. What do they have to lose.....besides the game. FWIW, I wouldnt have mind Smith as our 6th/7th D before the Tarasenko/Mikkola trade, and wouldnt mind him as the 7th D post Tarasenko/Mikkola trade.

I wouldn't mind him in the penalty box now as a result of him being "tough" or not being able to keep up with the play. There is a punishment called "CK" for teams who rely on the likes of Brendan Smith, who end up taking penalties. Incidentally, that nasty ole schadenfreude got the best of me and I couldn't stop myself from checking the meltdown on a Devils' forum. I was taken aback by the number of posters, a seeming majority, who were going beyond the usual stuff and advocating purposely injuring the Rangers and their fans.

Totally random, but what's the deal with them always writing Hischer on the 1st line and Hughes on the 2nd? Hughes is the best center and plays the most minutes, makes no sense to me lol.
