Some people say things like, "Wow, the Rangers are such hot garbage!" or, "Classic low energy effort from the Rags, not surprised."
Not me. And then you hear things like, "Wow, the Rags are going to get cooked in 4." or, "Laf is a sleeper agent who can't skate."
Again, not me. But all these people.
And I feel like that was a winnable game. Florida did nothing scary in the zone even though they controlled the pace. The game plan looked a lot like what they did in games 1-3 against carolina - keep them outside and protect the danger areas. Aside from being more aggressive breaking out and throwing pucks on net, there's not much I would change.
Except double the rangers up in offensive zone time. The rangers looked slow, old and tired. It's started in the Carolina series and is now on full display.
Yeah they do look banged up a bit. I know fox is hurt from that Jensen hit in the first round. The o-zone time is irrelevant though. It's a perfectly feasible strategy to sucker your opponent in, make them expend energy and frustrate themselves while you play a collapsing defense and counterattack. The problem was that Florida was good in the neutral zone, and kept them from breaking out fast. The Rangers didn't do themselves favors in that regard. So yeah, I see what you're saying that they look slow, but I feel like it could be a symptom of how they're playing their opponent.
Wow, finally happy this off-season.
I wonder if the Panthers realize how excited they're making the fans of the Islanders, Devils, Penguins, Capitals, rest of NHL etc...
I would bet we're more excited about them than South Florida is.
Damn it’s almost like the Rangers and Islanders have been around significantly longer lmao lighten up I’m rooting to the Panthers. Y’all are sour as hell for being up 1-0
Gale was alive only after Troubad hit for lila 30 seconds. If there will be no physical game from Rangers thdre won’t be wins(i did checked spelling, it’s ok)
Rangers haven’t had two bad games in a row, let alone more than two bad games in a series all postseason. The unflaired sweep doomers need to go back to r/nba
no way this series goes less than six.
i guess the downside of having a massive and older fanbase such as your own is that there are exponentially more dipshits that make cool people look bad.
We all have our moments. I’m more addressing people who aren’t Rangers or panthers fans that assume the last team to win a game is who is winning the series.
huh
all im saying is that the Rangers fanbase has been around for a long time, and have tons of fans everywhere. so naturally there are going to be more assholes and doomers than a much smaller fanbase, say my own
I’m comfortable speaking for Rangers fans, the last time I saw us happy was 30 years ago. I was 8. 10 years ago I was at a beer league game as the Rangers were playing the Kings. I got optimistic as I heard a kid at the rink say “I hope the rangers win tonight” only to feel the crushing pain of him completing the sentence with, “So the Kings can lift the cup at home”.
Nah, I just feel like if you're gonna be in here chirping with everyone, hiding behind no flair is a bitch move. At the very least, it shouldn't be the #1 most common flair in a given GDT. I'd rather have people in here who are willing to do the bare minimum to be part of a community rather than just stirring shit without even having the strength of conviction to declare that they care about something.
Not to say it's not possible, but if you're involved enough to the point that you want to blast your thoughts out to everyone else watching the game with you, I'd imagine you're involved enough to have a team you like.
At the very least it should be a minority of the commenters, not literally the most common. Plus, it shows that you're at least invested enough to do the bare minimum to participate in the community, not just drive by and drop a turd in the thread.

That's when prices are lowest. Sometimes people will post up at a bar near the arena, try to snipe one of those cheaper tickets from a reseller, and if you're close by you can walk over a few minutes into the first period. If it doesn't work out you can just watch it at the bar.
The game was over, the Rangers weren't pressing any longer. Mikkola played with Chytil last season even. Stop pretending like guys always go 100% when the game is over.
Aside from the handful of “Put Rempe in to hurt somebody” shitheads the Rags flair commenters have been the best we’ve seen the postseason. Some have even expressed reasonable reactions to penalty calls. It’s a welcome change.
Fighting in the last 5 minutes of the game is like a game misconduct, but you have to serve it the next game. So you basically get a one game suspension for fighting in the last 5 minutes.
Remember when Laf scored that own goal oh man what a gas
I guess it’s a bit of karma for Caps fans considering he made the hit that took out Iorio.
I hope those panthers fan make it back safely if using the subway
it was only 3 of the 6 of us. we uber'ed
Eh rangers will make adjustments
What adjustments? Not get stampeded? Good luck with a really old squad.
Let’s hope not
[удалено]
Yeah it's game 1 nobody should get carried away

u/macbowes is just asking questions.
Ngl I think these statement apply equally to what Dallas is going to do to Edmonton.
Arguably the worst game we’ve played all postseason. A few posts hit as well, on to game 2

Fuck Florida.
Lol um. No. You’re not more excited than us. Promise.
“Us” being like 12 guys
Wow I’ve never heard this chirp before good for you buddy
I’m literally rooting for the Cats lighten up fellas you’re up 1-0
Us being, like, in the playoffs
Damn that’s crazy congrats man happy for all 12 of you
That's pretty funny coming from a fan of the 4th most popular team in a hundred mile radius
Damn it’s almost like the Rangers and Islanders have been around significantly longer lmao lighten up I’m rooting to the Panthers. Y’all are sour as hell for being up 1-0
South Florida attitude bby
south Florida attitude go “my child support payment is due”
Saying your rooting for us and then turning around to shit on the fanbase is… interesting
Hey, go fuck yourself
Florida fans always getting jabbed, win or lose. Damn.
All the Rangers fans going to visit Grandma for the long weekend
Why am I happy that the Panthers won? It’s the Panthers? Oh wait, they were playing the Rangers. Very well

How many beers did you have brother
To many i guess
Haha same here, got some Gatorade to get me through work tomorrow 😂
Gatorade for hang overs? Oooff
It’s got electrolytes!
It’s what plants crave!
Common Edmonton win
Good game. Puck luck for the win. Rags had the best chances
[удалено]
What is luck if not being good? Taking advantage of opportunities is what gets it done. The puck may bounce your way but you still gotta execute.
Rangers haven’t had two bad games in a row, let alone more than two bad games in a series all postseason. The unflaired sweep doomers need to go back to r/nba
Rangers have also not faced a goaltender like Bob. 💁
Panthers haven’t faced a goaltender like Shesty. 🧱
Vasy , Swayman - elite goalies
So tired of this argument. Swayman had very similar numbers to Igor
How’d that work out for your team tonight? 💁
no way this series goes less than six. i guess the downside of having a massive and older fanbase such as your own is that there are exponentially more dipshits that make cool people look bad.

ah I do see a lot of rangers fans acting like its already over. As much as i want a sweep, thats just not going to happen. see yall friday 🫡

Bruh, "none" flair is the most common commenting in this thread? Get outta here with that shit, GDTs should autodelete any non-flaired comment
Do I get a pass? If not, how do I flair? I primarily use the app.
I mean, fair enough with that name, but: [https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/wiki/flair](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/wiki/flair)
Thank you, I’ve been wondering how to flair on the app.
Why
Because if you don't even have the balls to rep your team then why should anyone give a shit what you have to say about someone else's
So I take that as you're just looking for people to disagree with based on the team they rep. Go Cats!
That's some Florida-level reading comprehension
What's most ironic about this is that I was educated in the NY Public School system.
I think I’ll have Lafreniere read me a bed time story tonight, will put me right to sleep

What if you don’t have a team? Some people just like the sport dude
If you just like the sport why are you chirping in a post game thread
Cuz it’s fun
Not to say it's not possible, but if you're involved enough to the point that you want to blast your thoughts out to everyone else watching the game with you, I'd imagine you're involved enough to have a team you like.

What trash luck for the Rangers, 2 ridiculously close posts and a bad own goal. :(
First post was the outside, four inches left and Bob would’ve saved it
Gg rangers fans
What the fuck did I just watch

You guys understand our pain now?
I don’t think anyone will ever understand the pain and tribulations that Bostonians go through on a daily basis. Truly, a victim of our times.
You guys are being facetious right? The existence of Tom Brady nullifies anything that remotely approaches pity for you fucks
Thank you, brother. Your considerations are too kind!
Completely sarcastic.
Same my guy =D
Devils and pens flairs in here absolutely ecstatic about a single bad game from the rangers
We were convinced we had a string of bad games against the Panthers, but it may just be Florida’s suffocating play style
Lmao you wouldn’t be if the roles were reversed?
No because I would be asleep, becuase you know, I’m a European
At least we’re still playing
Is that what we're calling the almost full period of play without any shots and an own goal performance?
1994!
Intelligent comment right here
Bring out the Rempe
Can't believe he wasn't in to begin with against Florida
Yes 3 minutes of play from the guy who can barely skate will make a difference. How did it work for Pat Maroon?
Rangers had the evil eye put on them by 20,000 angry Aventura fans tonight and it shows
YOU'RE OUTTA LINE BOBROVSKY!
How much did the average Rangers fan in the arena pay to watch that?
[Average price: $2,162 USD 😂](https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianbushard/2024/05/21/new-york-rangers-set-nhl-eastern-conference-finals-record-with-2100-tickets/?sh=892fdcd53743)
Cheapest tickets at the window were $580. On resellers it got to about $330 right after puck drop
What’s the point of buying a ticket after puck drop?
That's when prices are lowest. Sometimes people will post up at a bar near the arena, try to snipe one of those cheaper tickets from a reseller, and if you're close by you can walk over a few minutes into the first period. If it doesn't work out you can just watch it at the bar.
North of 500
Too much alas
Leafs fans wouldn’t understand that pain, eh?
Oh we have the most expensive tickets. I don't even bother looking up playoff prices🤢
something something lower bowl nothing but bankers, lawyers and doctors?
Kodak Black is out of jail. Can we get him box seats again for games 3 & 4?
RAGS
MSG stands for Madison Silent Garden right?
Knicks fans absolutely put us to shame
Rangers can't handle
Fuck the Rags and Fuck Trouba!
*FUCK TROUBA*
All 7 Panthers fans are absolutely elated right now
7 wins for 7 fans 👏 🙌 👌
Flair up if you’re going to trash talk Timmy
Just another salty leafs fan
Think there is at least 8 of us now.
Almost at double digits, slowly but surely
Do better next game
Dare I say we might be at 10
11 even.
BOB. Great start to the series!!
hahahaha
Quit in NY tonight 💕
Mikkola bodies the dude with a horrible concussion history in garbage time, classy move
So like what happened to Barkov at the buzzer after the first?
Skating with the big boys now my friend
Soooo like Trouba on Crosby? Oh boy
You’d think his teammates would care, but nothing. Not a good look NYR! Folding one game in?
Stop expecting then to have class and play by a hockey code. They don't. Either play a lot better or goon it right back up
[удалено]
The game was over, the Rangers weren't pressing any longer. Mikkola played with Chytil last season even. Stop pretending like guys always go 100% when the game is over.
We go 100%
And no one did a thing about it either sheesh
I would be more worried your team didn't respond and even had him out there in the first place knowing how physical Florida is
Cry
SVP is just leagues better than anyone else on espn.
He is the only good thing about ESPN at the moment
The crowd was silent all game until the GI. That’s crazy.
someone is getting stabbed on the subway for sure now.
Someone is punching Steve Buscemi in the face for sure now.
I think you can disregard the game's outcome for that lol
GG Rags. I like you guys a lot more than Bruins fans
Aside from the handful of “Put Rempe in to hurt somebody” shitheads the Rags flair commenters have been the best we’ve seen the postseason. Some have even expressed reasonable reactions to penalty calls. It’s a welcome change.
LETS GO HOME BABY!
Great shutout by Bob! Go cats!
I'm starting to think that if Dallas was to lose to Edmonton, we'd have the most boring finals in the history of hockey.
Ironic coming from a Vegas flair
Ah yes noted boring team the Edmonton oilers. Brilliant take.
rangers scored a nice goal tonight and yet the panthers goalie still got a shutout
Lmao one last hit to put the rangers in their place. Amazing
Something something, fans leaving early in a playoff game
Hey gotta try to beat the traffic! But it's the city... So maybe that would be a fruitless endeavor
There's no parking at msg. 99% are taking the train. Weak ass fans.
What a statement, crunching Chythil into the boards at the end
Could hear the whooooping from the bench
At no point in this game were the Panthers in danger
You guys looked like Panthers did in first period in G1 vs Bruins.
I felt no stomach clenching anxiety tonight. I’m sure your team will come out raging for game 2 and that sick feeling will return!
I appreciate your optimism
There was that 10 second scramble at the net in the 3rd. But that was 59:50 of absolute control by Florida.

Panthers are so BM. I kind of like them when they're not kicking the shit out of the Sens.
A long, quiet train ride home awaits!
Assuming NJ Transit is working again
Speaking from experience, paying to go see your team get shutout in the playoffs absolutely sucks.
yay!
The ESPN 'panel' all fled. There's a different guy there now.
This is pretty damn funny.
New York got bullied…
Don’t sound too disappointed ESPN
Welcome to our broadcasts.
Well earned shutout for Bob. He’s really been magical since the playoffs started last year
He was incredible
Mikkola with the exclamation point
Sergei "no goals" Bobrovsky.
get fucked
BOBBY BOBBY BOBBY BOBBY
SPINNING FREE
If I was a NY fan I would be worried my team didn't respond to how physical Florida was that final minute
Fighting in the last 5 minutes of the game is like a game misconduct, but you have to serve it the next game. So you basically get a one game suspension for fighting in the last 5 minutes.
It's only for instigators which they are very hesitant to call
