He made the saves when they mattered. Timing of saves is just as important as the amount of saves. Such an unquantifiable but real occurrence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of the goals were redirected and go in against pretty much every goalie in the league. The third goal he almost saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 He actually seemed to get stronger as the game went on. He was fabulous in the 3rd and both OT's! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you know if the Rangers got him, it would be a completely different story he's a finisher. he needs someone to dish it to him. I dont think he'd fit on the rangers tho. He would play with Z and Kreider but Kreider cant pass for shit and Z hasnt been great at setting up players either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHo cares if a goal came off a blacked shot from a player who you complained didn't shoot the puck enough? The playoffs are about broken plays. I think a lot of it is just your view of the player, which is not at all objective. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 another thing is that apart from dickhead Trouba our defense has not been noticeable, which is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 It hasn't been regular season Panarin (mainly because it's incredibly hard to maintain that level and pace in the playoffs), but it's not been anywhere near 2023 playoffs Panarin either. He's moving his feet, he's fighting for pucks, he's aggressive every time he has the puck and he shoots a lot. He has 3 GWG's, 7 points and a +1 (been a minus player every playoffs as a Ranger) in 6 games. Last night he played over 32 minutes, 3 points and 4 hits (most by any Ranger forward!). I was one of his biggest critics last summer and I spent most of the season saying "October is not April", but I'm happily eating crow now. He's doing it in May and I'm loving it. 1 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of this, and it's also a really odd time to be complaining about anybody on the team. They're undefeated in the playoffs. Can they at least lose (once) before we start pointing fingers at players? Edited May 8 by Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphinity 2.0 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 He helps create that 2nd goal with the cut to the middle, taking a defender with him - just because Fox made a great play, doesn't mean Panarin shouldn't get any credit. He also cut to the middle of the ice later in the game and got a good shot off in the high slot. He's producing and he's doing the right things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersLEETCH Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I’m still mentally high off this win! in the words of Andrew Dice Clay and the movie Ford Fairlane “it's “unfuckingbelievable!!!!” LGR!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bieser Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I went to bed before the 2nd OT...which was stupid because I tossed and turned all night wondering who won. Clocking in at 4:30 sucks. Never again, I'd rather be exhausted from actually watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) 6 hours ago, Sharpshooter said: I thought he was definitely fighting it a bit at times, but still a top tier performance by him. I also noticed how well the Rangers were at clearing rebounds or just protecting the front in general after saves. He definitely was fighting it. There were a lot of unclean stops, dropping or fumbling catchable shots, somewhat shaky rebound control, but this is what elite goalies do. They fight through and persevere, when they aren’t exactly playing up to their A+ level and still get the job done. By the time it hit OT he seemed to be gobbling almost everything up clean by then - like he had finally hit a groove.

And he’s played it oh so well… as a clutch performer. Hes proven he’s a great player in his spot. Hes proven he can easily play with great players. But you need to keep him on his side. He’s the player you never move. Guentzel is one of the most underrated players in the NHL. And has been for a number of years. Name 10 left wingers who’ve been better than him over the last 5-6 seasons? You cant. No one can. Cause they don’t exist.

They’re clearly in this shit for one another and their coaches and all of that. This is a really good group who could win it all. Lets just enjoy that.

Vodka Drunkenski Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 It’s funny that we can’t enjoy and still want more. I guess Trouba’s play can also remain status quo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
