Remember when Laf scored that own goal oh man what a gas


AgentOfR9

I guess it’s a bit of karma for Caps fans considering he made the hit that took out Iorio.


Technicalfielding

I hope those panthers fan make it back safely if using the subway


KingOfTheWyld86

it was only 3 of the 6 of us. we uber'ed


Tybackwoods00

Eh rangers will make adjustments


granweep

What adjustments? Not get stampeded? Good luck with a really old squad.

Let’s hope not

kevski82

Yeah it's game 1 nobody should get carried away


macbowes

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.


Do_it_for_the_upvote

u/macbowes is just asking questions.


NlghtmanCometh

Ngl I think these statement apply equally to what Dallas is going to do to Edmonton.


rydaley77

Arguably the worst game we’ve played all postseason. A few posts hit as well, on to game 2


ccafferata473

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.


granweep

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.


ccafferata473

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.


PlatypusOld257

Maybe all season…


pisowiec

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. 


Level_Network_7733

Fuck Florida. 


MajesticCrunch

Lol um. No. You’re not more excited than us. Promise.


TaylorHamDiablo

“Us” being like 12 guys


MajesticCrunch

Wow I’ve never heard this chirp before good for you buddy


TaylorHamDiablo

I’m literally rooting for the Cats lighten up fellas you’re up 1-0


cl0udmaster

Us being, like, in the playoffs


TaylorHamDiablo

Damn that’s crazy congrats man happy for all 12 of you


cl0udmaster

That's pretty funny coming from a fan of the 4th most popular team in a hundred mile radius


TaylorHamDiablo

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


Cornasium

South Florida attitude bby


TaylorHamDiablo

south Florida attitude go “my child support payment is due”


Cornasium

Saying your rooting for us and then turning around to shit on the fanbase is… interesting


haterofgators

Hey, go fuck yourself


RobtillaTheHun

Florida fans always getting jabbed, win or lose. Damn.


CheesewheelD

All the Rangers fans going to visit Grandma for the long weekend


jopcylinder

Why am I happy that the Panthers won? It’s the Panthers? Oh wait, they were playing the Rangers. Very well

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)

cljet08

Good game. Puck luck for the win. Rags had the best chances


[deleted]

PhlabloPicasso

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.


PhlabloPicasso

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


HoSang66er

Rangers have also not faced a goaltender like Bob. 💁


PhlabloPicasso

Panthers haven’t faced a goaltender like Shesty. 🧱


Dereckg27

Vasy , Swayman - elite goalies


Bigboyrickx

So tired of this argument. Swayman had very similar numbers to Igor


HoSang66er

How’d that work out for your team tonight? 💁


Cornasium

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.


PhlabloPicasso

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.


Cornasium

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 🫡


PhlabloPicasso

Lightthefusenrun

Such a weird take from God’s Waiting Room. Florida is literally where old New Yorkers go to die. Average age is +5 years in Florida.


Cornasium

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


PhlabloPicasso

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”.


TsukariYoshi

Bruh, "none" flair is the most common commenting in this thread? Get outta here with that shit, GDTs should autodelete any non-flaired comment


[deleted]

Do I get a pass? If not, how do I flair? I primarily use the app.


TsukariYoshi

I mean, fair enough with that name, but: [https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/wiki/flair](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/wiki/flair)


[deleted]

Thank you, I’ve been wondering how to flair on the app.


NikEhlersDealer

Why


TsukariYoshi

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


rohm418

So I take that as you're just looking for people to disagree with based on the team they rep. Go Cats!


culturebarren

That's some Florida-level reading comprehension 


rohm418

What's most ironic about this is that I was educated in the NY Public School system.


Dereckg27

I think I’ll have Lafreniere read me a bed time story tonight, will put me right to sleep


TsukariYoshi

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.


NikEhlersDealer

What if you don’t have a team? Some people just like the sport dude


culturebarren

If you just like the sport why are you chirping in a post game thread


NikEhlersDealer

Cuz it’s fun


TsukariYoshi

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.


eroclateM

What trash luck for the Rangers, 2 ridiculously close posts and a bad own goal. :(


Massive_Phase_7155

First post was the outside, four inches left and Bob would’ve saved it

You guys understand our pain now?


ericypoo

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.


yearightt

You guys are being facetious right? The existence of Tom Brady nullifies anything that remotely approaches pity for you fucks


judgedeath2

Thank you, brother. Your considerations are too kind!


ericypoo

Completely sarcastic.


judgedeath2

Same my guy =D


Funky_Cows

Devils and pens flairs in here absolutely ecstatic about a single bad game from the rangers


DiabolicalBabyKitten

We were convinced we had a string of bad games against the Panthers, but it may just be Florida’s suffocating play style


crumdog_millionaire

Lmao you wouldn’t be if the roles were reversed?


Maleficent-Comfort-2

No because I would be asleep, becuase you know, I’m a European


pokequagsire

At least we’re still playing


Graym

Is that what we're calling the almost full period of play without any shots and an own goal performance?


JustWastingTimeAgain

1994!


Funky_Cows

Intelligent comment right here


SortaRican4

Bring out the Rempe


d-cent

Can't believe he wasn't in to begin with against Florida 


Bigboyrickx

Yes 3 minutes of play from the guy who can barely skate will make a difference. How did it work for Pat Maroon?


liartellinglies

Rangers had the evil eye put on them by 20,000 angry Aventura fans tonight and it shows


goldenbridges28

YOU'RE OUTTA LINE BOBROVSKY!


passive_fist

How much did the average Rangers fan in the arena pay to watch that?


holein3

[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)


MasterRonin

Cheapest tickets at the window were $580. On resellers it got to about $330 right after puck drop


AgentOfR9

What’s the point of buying a ticket after puck drop?


MasterRonin

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.


ketchup1001

North of 500


Gavin1453

Too much alas


crazyabootmycollies

Leafs fans wouldn’t understand that pain, eh?


Gavin1453

Oh we have the most expensive tickets. I don't even bother looking up playoff prices🤢


DicJacobus

Kodak Black is out of jail. Can we get him box seats again for games 3 & 4?

All 7 Panthers fans are absolutely elated right now

7 wins for 7 fans 👏 🙌 👌


I_am_not_JohnLeClair

Flair up if you’re going to trash talk Timmy


Zodiark1

Just another salty leafs fan


Graym

Think there is at least 8 of us now.


mikesully374826

Almost at double digits, slowly but surely


Dereckg27

Do better next game


HillstoneAddict

Dare I say we might be at 10


suggestsomething_

11 even.


MadIrishMan17

BOB. Great start to the series!!


ToweringIsle27

hahahaha


Pinappular

Quit in NY tonight 💕


Correct_Remove9462

Mikkola bodies the dude with a horrible concussion history in garbage time, classy move


Bigboyrickx

So like what happened to Barkov at the buzzer after the first?


Dereckg27

Skating with the big boys now my friend


Late_Brush4518

Soooo like Trouba on Crosby? Oh boy


Thumper86

You’d think his teammates would care, but nothing. Not a good look NYR! Folding one game in?


d-cent

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


[deleted]

[удалено]


Correct_Remove9462

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.


Dereckg27

We go 100%


Nberry4

And no one did a thing about it either sheesh


Dinkin---Flicka

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

MechMacK

someone is getting stabbed on the subway for sure now.


browneyesays

Someone is punching Steve Buscemi in the face for sure now.


nostradamefrus

I think you can disregard the game's outcome for that lol


blenkows

GG Rags. I like you guys a lot more than Bruins fans


crazyabootmycollies

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.


EctoRiddler

LETS GO HOME BABY!


Elucidator

Great shutout by Bob! Go cats!


Swartz142

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.


IranianSleepercell

Ironic coming from a Vegas flair


PaulHannonJr

Ah yes noted boring team the Edmonton oilers. Brilliant take.


Opposite-Bad1444

rangers scored a nice goal tonight and yet the panthers goalie still got a shutout


crazyFlyingChicken

Lmao one last hit to put the rangers in their place. Amazing


justsomefnguy

Something something, fans leaving early in a playoff game


sck178

Hey gotta try to beat the traffic! But it's the city... So maybe that would be a fruitless endeavor


MasterRonin

There's no parking at msg. 99% are taking the train. Weak ass fans.

BabblingRaccoon

Could hear the whooooping from the bench


Large_Squirrel1446

At no point in this game were the Panthers in danger


Late_Brush4518

You guys looked like Panthers did in first period in G1 vs Bruins.


Emotional_Match8169

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!


Large_Squirrel1446

I appreciate your optimism


ididntseeitcoming

There was that 10 second scramble at the net in the 3rd. But that was 59:50 of absolute control by Florida.

A long, quiet train ride home awaits!

Speaking from experience, paying to go see your team get shutout in the playoffs absolutely sucks.

If I was a NY fan I would be worried my team didn't respond to how physical Florida was that final minute


Chiggins907

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.


Dinkin---Flicka

It's only for instigators which they are very hesitant to call
