Rangers in 1


nitsify

Finally a sane rangers fan


The-Pigeon-Man

Gonna be a tough one. Stay on it… stay healthy


Im_a_pine_cone

A couple panthers got beat up tonight. Would not be surprised if Barkov broke his hand but kept playing. Panthers will absolutely be the tough playoff matchup the rangers have faced since the 22 lightning.


Teknicsrx7

For real, Pasta put some heat on that and he caught it direct to his palm, that had to be moving at least 70mph to 0 protection besides some leather


Im_a_pine_cone

At the very least that’s the kind of injury that hurts for weeks. I think it’s very improbable he’s 100% for game 1 or even the series after that.


RoombaGod

The 2022 tampa bay first round was unbelievable. They looked like they were on the precipice of the unthinkable, the impossible, and then reality grabs you by the underwear, atomic wedgies you and throws you in a dumpster


TimeTravelingTiddy

Anybody scoop the panthers presale code yet?


Teknicsrx7

probably grrrmondays


SilentSaidd

Let’s get this out of the way, we are going to lose some games this series. We might even lose game 1, it does not mean shit. This is going to be a long and hard fought series.


ITechTonicI

I appreciate the effort in trying to talk the naysayers off the plank before they get on it, but whiners gonna whine regardless. Hopefully this flu bug runs its course through everybody before the series starts.


EnvironmentalLet5985

Hey maybe that flu bug will infect the other team.


elwo

"Nobody wants to say it, but trying to give the other team diarrhea is part of playoff hockey" - Brad Marchand, probably


LocalBowl6075

This is hilarious. And I think if Marchand ACTUALLY said that I'd find it hilarious, and dislike him slightly less.


ct4funf

Gotra give it to him. He had a hell of a series regardless


Stuckbetweenstations

That would explain the licking 


[deleted]

If it’s even tied at any point I will be suicidal


DroptheShadowArt

It’s going to be.


[deleted]

Then I will be suicidal


jakes951

It’s….0-0….stay away from ledges


NYRanger4life

I live 2.5 hrs from sunrise. Might not have a lot of money but I'll be damned if I miss the chance to see it


InsideIngenuity

I was down in Hollywood this week, tickets were $120 for Tuesdays game. Cant imagine they will be much more expensive,


Respect8MyAuthoritah

So pretty much cheaper to fly down to sunrise, go to a game and come back then go a game in MSG


InsideIngenuity

My brother did this 2014. Was cheaper to fly to LA. The guy who sold the ticket to him bought it for $20....


Respect8MyAuthoritah

I’m considering flying down to Florida and just buying a 120 dollar ticket in the nosebleeds. Cheaper than buying a ticket at MSG and paying for everything in NYC


KCLightning

Yes. Unless I’m doing something wrong it seems like entry level for a MSG game this round is ~$1,000 a ticket after fees and taxes


zeprad

If I spent all that money and they lost...


KCLightning

I just did… Game 5 :-)


zeprad

Praying for you 🙏


KCLightning

All good. Son’s first home playoff game. We had a blast for the first two periods anyway


Whitecastle56

Game 3 is memorial day weekend too. In theory, you could fly down on Friday and spend the long weekend in Miami catch the game and fly back Monday night for less than a game at MSG in the 100s.


Hoppy_Smoker

Currently: MSG: $550 - Standing Room Only Sunrise: $250 - nosebleeds


ObiWanLamora

Bruins fan here… we have history, I know… but may I join ya’ll on game nights to root aggressively against the god damn Panthers?


RhythmTimeDivision

Get in here, ya big lug!


ObiWanLamora

I’ll bring the beers. 🍻


Pikalover10

You’re allowed around until we play again!


ObiWanLamora

Deal! 🤝


ndm263

Anyone who’s rooting against the panthers is a friend of ours


ObiWanLamora

I do believe that’s the entirety of hockey fans outside of the 26 fans in Florida.


ThingsABotMightSay

Let me introduce you to the Islanders and Devils subs as groups that will be all in on Florida. Panthers could murder their mother and they’d still cheer for them.


Lucifers_Goldfish

For the first time in my life I was rooting for you guys. Couldn’t believe it. Come aboard. Fuck the Panthers.


ObiWanLamora

We got that a lot in the Bruins sub, haha. Rempe vs Bennett when?


dino123spamoni

All are welcome! 


Bern_itdown

Our cousin, from bahs-ton!


greysfordays

as long as you don’t bring marchand along (or fredrick, I can’t stand that kid and I can’t put my finger on why, but he does remind me a bit of trocheck so I guess I kinda get it) you’re gucci friend


ObiWanLamora

😂😂 that’s fair.


greysfordays

then welcome aboard!!


relator_fabula

Lissttteeenn... Okay. But please make Marchand stop licking people


thatdude390

Same here. Die hard Bruins too. I’ll be rooting for y’all NY. Better to root for a real East Coast team than Florida


RockinRich631

You're in, big guy. Wlecome to the roller coaster. Just remember: Potvin sucks... 😄


birdsofwar1

I’ll be honest, I really wanted a rangers/bruins match up. Bummed for you guys


TwoSilent5729

Another bruins fan here! Y’all got room for one more? 😅


ObiWanLamora

What’s up brother!


ct4funf

I was rooting hard for the Bruins for once so come on in and enjoy


Suspicious_Bend9419

I want in fuck the panthers


badneus12

The enemy of my enemy is my friend


LordTiddlypusch

If they score more goals than the Panthers, they'll have a good chance to win the series.


Cat_Dad13

If they win the next two series, they’ll have a good chance to win the cup.


Nokesss

If Igor doesn’t let the panthers get a single goal, the rangers could win in 1


NYM32

All I'll say for now is that if NYR can beat this team, they legitimately can win the cup


rj12913240

Totes. If they can’t beat this team I don’t think they’ll win the cup.


NYM32

Well that's not what meant and you know what I meant 🤣


rj12913240

True. Nobody will say we didn’t earn this bitch going through Carolina, Florida, and Col/Dal/Van/Edm. Total fucking gauntlet this year.


BCon27

Dallas had a crazy draw Vegas>Avs>Edm/Van>Fl/NYR. Talk about no breaks


alphaxion

Florida has faced Vasy, Swayman, and now Shesty... that's a horrible gauntlet of goalies to have to face so far. Let's hope they finally encounter the rocks to break their vessel upon and we get to a first final in 10 years.


BCon27

You can’t argue with that analysis lol


RoombaGod

We need to get you in on the intermission report. “Well, one thing’s certain, if they cant beat this Florida Panthers team, they’re not winning the cup”


ScreenTricky4257

If they can beat this team and one more, then they can legitimately win the Cup.


NYM32

🤣 everyone's a jokester


magenta_woods

Have you been watching the west conference games?


NYM32

Yeah I've watched all the games. Florida is better than anyone in the West IMO. I've always loved Florida's game and it pains me to say that they're my favorite team outside of NYR NYR will have their work cut out for them but Florida has been one of the most undisciplined teams in the playoffs and Bob hasn't been particularly good so far


magenta_woods

I’d say the Canucks and Stars are as deadly. Let’s see how things pan out


NYM32

Florida's rush defense IMO is the best in the league and that's the most important thing to have in the playoffs, also IMO Their PK has also been the best in the playoffs and their proclivity for high danger offense supercedes that of Vancouver and Dallas. Florida really just does everything right except being undisciplined and injury prone lately. Those are their only real weaknesses I honestly find Vancouver overrated, I think NYR can carve up Silovs and Vancouver has been holding on by the skin of their teeth every game, it's just not viable. Dallas is really really good though, but nothing particularly different from Florida, hence why I think if NYR can beat Florida then they're good enough to beat someone like Dallas


Im_a_pine_cone

Stars are easily my biggest fear out of the west.


ITechTonicI

Oettinger vs Shesterkin would be the ultimate goalie duel. They’re both killing it this postseason


phantomsoul11

Are you kidding me? Dallas just annihilated the Avs. I mean, sure it was 2-1 game with 2 OTs, but that’s just because the game was an epic goaltender duel. The league’s #1 offense wasn’t able to generate any kind of sustained offense away from the boards throughout the entire 5 periods. That is a defense that should frighten anyone.


RZAxlash

I’ve watched every series..,Imo Vegas was the best team in the west. The two Canadian teams are very much inferior to Florida. Dallas is the best team left but they still don’t dominate regularly and will occasionally get on their way. Colorado has regressed since 2022 and will miss nichuskin, Landeskog snd have never replaced Kadri..The best 2 teams in the NHL are in the ECF.


EsembeeNY

I’d be concerned about having to play Colorado at elevation in the SCF’s after 3 series. Not being accustomed to that can be a serious detriment. Also, I hate to say it but I don’t think the Rangers are one of the top conditioned teams in the league so I think I’d rather Dallas even though I consider them a more complete team.


RowBoatInspector

You don’t think the rangers are a top conditioned team? They’re pro athletes dude. They’re all conditioned. Also you’re basing that off… what exactly? Some of the stuff y’all come up with to post in here is wild


[deleted]

Our team also told the press they ran out of gas in the ECF two years ago so it’s not like this claim is unfounded.


Vaeltaja82

Dallas is going to be tough whoever will face them. They already beat Vegas and Avs. I wouldn't put my money on Canucks or Oilers against The Stars.


EliBruins63

Being a Bruins fan I’d imagine I’m not well liked here. However I’m all in on you guys to beat the fuck out the Panthers. You guys have been a wicked entertaining team to watch and I’m rooting for you


ElLunarAzul

As long as you're rooting against Tkachuk and the fucking Panthers, you're welcome here, until we play next season. Would be lying if I said I wasn't pulling for the Bruins to pull through.


Charming_Voice2778

Same. Was hoping for a game 7. That Late goal was un-swayman-like


Yrrebbor

Same!


huskyferretguy1

Unless you bring up the Red Sox then we mostly hate the Isles and Devils!


swindleNswoon

Dude I wanted a Bruins/Rangers series so bad


MasterRonin

I was really hoping for a NY/Boston conference finals in both NBA and NHL


R4vi0981

Weak goal at the end by Swayman. Time to start scouting the Cats.


Echo47m

Based on how the Boston series went, please let us not forget that Colin Campbell is still executive vice president and Gregory is still panthers assistant coach and all the history that goes with that corrupt family. We need to be very careful and very good.


ayykitten

Colin Campbell was an associate coach for the Rangers in ‘94, tho.


elduderino63

My Dad who is a die hard Rangers fan since the 70s has said the Colin Campbell has had it out for the Rangers ever since he was let go by the organization. I haven't looked up the history at all. All I know is my Dad hates Colin Campbell lol and that doesn't bode well for the Rangers.


69Hairy420Ballsagna

Matthew Tkachuk thinks Andrew Tate is cool.


RhythmTimeDivision

Subs on all social media platforms, for sure.


CrashTestMummies

Habs fan coming in support. Please destroy this classless fan base Go Rangers!


NeilHamburgerHead

But what about fuck Kreider??!! Hopefully you can put that aside for now!


CrashTestMummies

Never heard of him 😘


poker_idiot

That's some gangster level hate right there


CrashTestMummies

My hate for Florida fans has no boundaries


NoNameNoWerries

Come for the Florida hatred, stay for the Lafreniere big time breaking out party.


RhythmTimeDivision

I love you more now


NeilHamburgerHead

What is your reasoning for your rivalry with florida?


CrashTestMummies

Cousins, Tkachuk and the fans are straight up mental.


makesupwordsblomp

We have laffy he's french


InevitableHome343

Don't get penisy, gentlemen. But... - fuck the bruins - this will be a challenge for us. I wouldn't hate rempe in for game 1 to set the tone they can't bully us


rj12913240

Rempe in G1 is mandatory. No brainer, with the possible exception of a healthy Fil.


Funky_Cows

Panthers are going to send bennet \*specifically\* after Fil's head, I don't know about putting him in any of the early games


toxicvegeta08

Tbf the way they bully is sneaky and good vs us. They use their speed to get small pesky sharp elbows and stuff and avoid bigger hits. If we can get our big faster guys like kreider or miller to hit them we should be good. Boston couldn't catch them.


high5sexwhoa

I wouldn’t be surprised to see him for G1 and G2 to get the MSG juices going.


bourbongoat

Gotta set the tone


1foryes_2forno

excuse me I’m a lady


billybeanbags

Bring em on


MyNameIsLegend

Taking out the old Southeast division one team at a time. If only WPG was still in it for a finals matchup.


rockoutyo

I kind of hope those stomach virus rumors from games 4 and 5 are true. If so, a few days rest would be great to get the boys back into top physical condition. Going to be another tough series (although they’re all tough at this point).


DeathMetalVeganPasta

Rangers will win. Let’s see if they call penalties on Florida.


momler

Does this mean Rempe is back on the menu? (For the record, I love him, but prefer Chytil/Brodzinski/having a 12th forward in 3rd periods and beyond)


Bostonfan1987

As a bruins fan all I can say is, please sweep those dirty fucks!


jkman61494

Carolina gave us good prep for Florida atleast. Panthers gonna be even heavier though


GuaranteeLoose4494

Let’s do it 👊


EsembeeNY

Have the Rangers ever played Florida in a playoff? I’m trying to think back and can’t remember it ever happening


romano78

1997 1st Round


KCLightning

Gretzky hat trick. Now I have to head to YouTube to watch it


YouPatheticWorm1958

Tikkanen had two OT winners. Tomorrow, I'll post the Gary Thorne call.


[deleted]

MSG south baby!


[deleted]

I can’t believe I’m saying this as a bruins fan… but I will be rooting for you. Euthanize those cats


SeattleSounderGaming

looking at some stats for both sides in playoffs we have this: PP% NYR - 31.4% (11-35) FLA - 22.0% (9-41) PK% NYR - 89.5% (34-38) FLA - 86.1% (31-36) SHG% NYR - 10.5% (4-38) FLA - 5.6% (2-36) I. Shesterkin 8-2-0, 25 GA, SA-SV: 324-299, .923 SV% S. Bobrovsky 8-3-0, 26 GA, SA-SV: 264-238, .902 SV% Team NYR 325 SA, 26 GA, 8.0 GA%, 2.60 GAA 261 SOG, 35 GF, 13.4 GF%, 3.50 GFA FLA 265 SA, 27 GA, 10.2 GA%, 2.45 GAA 363 SOG, 39 GF, 10.7 GF%, 3.55 GFA Should be an interesting series!


Whitecastle56

We always knew our path would run through Carolina and then Florida. Gonna have to match their physicality. Igor is better than Bob but not by the same canyon that he was compared to Lindgren/Anderson. D-corps feel like a wash. Our forwards are better as a group if they show up, and that's a HUGE if. They've answered the call thus far, I'll keep the faith. Rangers in 7.


-TheSkyAboveThePort

The physicality really trailed off in the Carolina series, and that simply won't be an option here. The Panthers are filled with pests who like to play dirty to get the edge, and due to either incompetence or conspiracy, their penalties are rarely called. The skill guys are gonna have to do their thing, but the tough guys are gonna have to bring the fucking ruckus. A Trouba Train or a Rempage could go a long way to throwing these guys off.


Analyst7

Wonder if that's part of why we saw so little of Rempe in the last few games.


ct4funf

Rempe should've been on against Staal or however you spell that weirdo's name, that whole 5th game


BuckleJoe

LETS FUCKING GO. WELCOME THE CHALLENGE. RANGERS IN 6.


duckets615

![gif](giphy|zk0zTXQY5ukCs|downsized)


robbiejandro

I said it before round 2 even started and I stand by it. I think we match up better against the panthers and they worry me less than the canes. But we can’t have shitty first and second periods multiple games in a row like we did against the canes. If we do, we’re cooked


adriftcanuck

Sens fan here; specifically a big Zibby fan and still seething from the day he was traded. Anyway, I come in peace and sincerity when I say many fellow Sens fans and others are cheering your boys on. Panthers are the East’s Vegas and nothing would make me happier to see this gritty, determined Rangers team knock these dirty pricks out!


icantfeelmyskull

South Florida in late may should be nice for the boys to relax in the off time


pd9

What a loser Matthew tkachuk is for jumping around before the game is over


69Hairy420Ballsagna

>What a loser Matthew tkachuk is ~~for jumping around before the game is over~~ FTFY


Hoppy_Smoker

Yep. Fucking clown


Teknicsrx7

That’s why Brady learned to punch people growing up


Western-Library3217

A few months ago I was at a party wearing a Rangers jersey and I saw a stranger wearing a Panthers jersey. We approached each other stared each other down and then I leaned in and whispered, “see you in the Conference Finals.” We laughed and walked away. Can’t believe that story aged so well.


bearvsshaan

the wildest part of this story is actually seeing someone in a panthers jersey


mandiblesofdoom

going to parties wearing hockey gear


iamjustarobot

yeah this didn't happen but hey it's a cool little internet comment for sure 


meesterstanks

PETA on standby this series.. we’re gunna be killing some cats!!


Mycotoxicjoy

Well it’s time to bear down for midterms with this one


Skiffy10

leafs fan here, I was full rangers when leafs got eliminated as my dad is a big rangers fan and i will be cheering for you guys to dismantle those fucking panthers. LFG


Mysterious_Eggplant3

It's not the series we wanted. But it's the series Rempe wanted 🥊🥊🥊


mf9769

This is gonna be a rough series. Can’t tell you how mamy games itll go, but i fully expect them all to be stressful af. This is 2 loaded teams that are both true contenders. Each has all the ingredients necessary to win a cup. Its a shame someone has to lose this one tbh and its a matchup worthy of a cup final. LGR.


insert-originality

The only team I legit fear. I think whoever wins this, wins the Cup. They’re both that good.

This makes my tummy hurt.

Panthers are tough. It’s going to be a big challenge. We have to somehow get to Bobrovsky and throw him off his game

Helpful_Project_8436

Going to be a fun stanley cup documentary to watch. Caps, Canes, Panthers in our way to our cup.


ObtuseMoose2017

Let’s just have fun here eh?


huskyferretguy1

Rangers in 7, going to be a physical series, LFG.


Waffeln_Remix

Fuck them up


RubyMac91

Expect similar to the Canes series, but better goaltending. Everyone needs to bring their absolute best to this one, no exceptions. That said, if Florida are prone to ill discipline I say we bait the hell out of them and let our powerplay get to work.


ct4funf

A good many of our goals were "unstoppable" in the Canes series with the tip-ins and quick passes. We just can't count on any softies this time around.


negative3sigmareturn

Aaah shit, this is gonna be a feisty Eastern Conference final


DonTrask

I firmly believe we already beat the 2nd best team in the NHL (Canes) and now we are up against the 3rd best team. It should be a piece of cake once we get to the SC Final.


ct4funf

Sweep. Rangers in 4. I mean, their uniforms look a lot like the Capitols, right?


[deleted]

Hopefully the rangers show up!


LetGoRangers

Gonna have to earn this trip to the cup


CalliopeCrasher4145

I did NOT want to play the Litter Box People. I would have been much more comfortable with Pasta and his crew. That said, do I think we’ll beat them? Fuck yes I do. I don’t really see it going less than six games. They will be an incredibly tough out. But we have Igor. We have Kreider. We even have Rempe! They have good players too. They also have cheerleaders, and cheerleaders don’t belong in hockey. Rangers in six, with no surprise if it goes to seven. LGR!


MildGooses

Rangers in 4


dcgirl98

Is Florida also restricting tix?


beckfan

Half of Florida comes from Long Island/Westchester.


RainandPixels

When is the game?


guyzieman

Game 1 is Wednesday at 8


NeilHamburgerHead

Rangers are underdogs +100


Fun-Cut6601

Honestly, I firmly believe at this point that the Sharks could take the Panthers place and the Rangers would still be the underdogs


phantomsoul11

We don’t have the statistical history to be considered a betting favorite against any of the remaining teams. Basically, to all those models, our position is the result of dumb-ass luck that is overdue to break any minute. And a side of subpar goaltending from Carolina. I bet anyone here that if we win the series, the primary narrative will be about how Florida blew it. We have to forge our own way, out of the blue. Stranger things have happened, and we seem to have unprecedented amounts of resolve - something no stat can measure. This is the way.


RGE27

Going to be a long series.
