QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

"Accountability — not from me, although I can help — but from them. And realizing that maybe it’s not the way we want to play or it wasn’t as clean as we would like. You go back and look at the chances [in Game 1]. It’s kind of an even game. Like, the whole thing was kind of even, it sits around the 50 percent mark. I just look at some of the crispness and the execution and the skating and the movements and the coverage. Not a lot, but there’s just things I felt like we could’ve done better that maybe could have pushed it in our direction. We had a lot of chances to score. I think we hit the post three times and a lot of point-blank chances, a couple on the power play, backdoor nets that were empty. There’s opportunities where we could’ve scored the one goal and it didn’t go. Execution on how we move out of the zone or through the neutral zone. Execution on the details of finishing."

— Peter Laviolette said on what has made the team so resilient and his assessment of Game 1.

We can beat these fucking guys...let's do it!

 

Hit the fucking net with shots!  I've seen enough posts for one lifetime from this team this season!

I think Laviolette is spooked by the idea of playoff OT.

 

That best explains Rempe's absence recently.  He doesn't play enough in the 1st and 2nd period and then in the 3rd he plays only with a big lead and in OT not at all.

 

I'm not sure the Rangers are good enough to make Rempe optional in a very physical game.  Yes, Chytil's minutes will be better and more numerous but if Bread and Mika vanish that's not a good trade-off.

Game 2 Ranger’s win tonight 4-2

Game 3  W 6-5 —wild open game 

Game 4  L 2-3 missed opportunities plus panthers fight to avoid going down 3-1

Game 5  4-3 OT …crazy shit happens 

Game 6  3-2 triple OT —- every fucking Rangers fan will need a lot of beer, drugs to get through this and emergency rooms get flooded very late at night or in the wee hours of the next morning due to feeling overwhelming high from the win… 

LGR!!!!

Kakko could finally become the highest drafted fourth liner of all time. 

 

As long as he plays his game on the 4th line he will be just fine.

Shall I introduce you to Patrik Stefan? Or Alex Daigle?

If that's the line it's a huge opportunity for Chytil. He needs the score, otherwise it's just rearranging the furniture.

First time maybe all season the Rangers are playing in a game they absolutely must have. Can make the case for a Game 6 in Carolina but even then, they had home ice to fall back on in a potential Game 7. Going to Florida down 0-2 would be a nightmare scenario.

I'm pretty sure they had to have Game 6 last series. And they went in and took it. 

 

They'll be fine.

I’m not concerned.

 

All this chatter about lineups is hogwash to me. Just go out and play your game and you can beat anyone. 
 

Including the Panthers.
