DeAngelo is a game-time decision. If he can't go, Hajek will suit up (God help us).

We don't know who will be starting in goal for either team today, but we do know the March to the Cup (or to Alexis Lafrenniere) begins in 70 minutes. Go Rangers!

No, one more season for each.

But relatively speaking that's not so bad, since Girardi and Shatty are both on the books for three more.

I guess we are tanking on purpose. Hank omg arguably the worst goalie of the three. How is the kid not ready? I’m lost for words. I hope I eat them and I’m wrong. I would think it would take an older goalie more time to be sharp as the reflexes are not the same.

Starting to wonder about this kid. This development is a bit unsettling.

He’s just not fit to play.
Was not expecting that.

So he has been a star in the KHL, the best goalie in the AHL and turns heads immediately in The NHL. We have no details about this but you are wondering about him...

Oh I’m sorry I shouldn’t wonder about this? He’s been a mega star the last 4-5-6 months and the first truly big game of his career he’s “unfit” to play? Yeah, I’m wondering. Any fan with a brain would. And I’m the last person to be accused of hyper analysis but this is weird.

My point is that he has never been short of professional his entire career.

Fair enough. I’m cautiously hopeful he will have a long great career here. This is just weird.
This is ugly

Rangers' PP is very disjointed and slow. Wake up boys!
PP  
pjcas18 : 8/1/2020 12:31 pm : link
across the league from what I've seen are all out of synch.
Hank  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 8/1/2020 12:34 pm : link
Supposedly has been playing great since they came back. But whatever....
Playoff hockey, great to see  
schabadoo : 8/1/2020 12:34 pm : link
Amazing they pulled it off.

Horrendous first period thus far  
Anakim : 8/1/2020 12:39 pm : link
We're being totally outplayed and outcoached


Hopefully this will jinx it
Gauthier seems like the only Ranger who hasn't completely sucked  
Anakim : 8/1/2020 12:42 pm : link
Move Gauthier to the Chytil/Kakko line and move DiGiuseppe down to the Howden/McKegg line
That  
pjcas18 : 8/1/2020 12:43 pm : link
Canes PP looked pretty good.

Hank solid to keep them off the board during it.

All about the zone entry on the PP. Helps to have skill guys who can gain the zone with possession.
Rangers look like shit  
Route 9 : 8/1/2020 12:44 pm : link
...
Rangers outshot 10-2  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 8/1/2020 12:45 pm : link
And 5-0 on quality takes and the concern is Hank?
We were outplayed for much of the game Wed night  
ColHowPepper : 8/1/2020 12:45 pm : link
It did not augur well, even if credit goes to the Isles d, a Trotz specialty. Just now, on that PP they had at ~10 minutes mark, a lot of hesitancy, trying to be too perfect again.

This team was functioning on a chemistry, all parts working together high February and March, no signs yet that it is ready to kick in. Playoff hockey is playoff hockey, even w/the covid layoff.
Gotta regroup  
NYerInMA : 8/1/2020 12:48 pm : link
That was a bad period.
Woof. Horrendous first period.  
Anakim : 8/1/2020 12:48 pm : link
The score should be 4--2


Yes, -2. That's how bad our offense was.

The good:

Julien Gauthier
Kaapo Kakko (towards the latter half of the period)


The neutral:

Henrik
Chytil


The bad:


Everyone else. Are Zibanejad, Panarin and Kreider playing? Just wondering...
Period One  
Percy : 8/1/2020 12:53 pm : link
Rangers badly out-quicked and outplayed by the Canes. Only two shots on goal, seemed to me. Lundqvist recovered himself after letting in the very first shot and played alertly fighting off many tries by the Canes after that. Rangers have to come out bringing it in the next period.
The last minute or two were a bit better.  
Mad Mike : 8/1/2020 1:01 pm : link
Hopefully that carries over. I don't want to watch another period like that one.
Percy  
ColHowPepper : 8/1/2020 1:11 pm : link
if we are getting outquicked to the puck by the Canes--and I think you're right, they were--that means our skating, where we allegedly have an advantage and is why we were 4-0 vs Canes regular season--was non-existent.

Anak: agree, Kreider, Zib, Panarin nearly invisible

I would add Buch as a + player, neutral or better
These refs need to swallow their whistles a bit  
Anakim : 8/1/2020 1:16 pm : link
They're calling way too many penalties on both sides
Nice goal  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 8/1/2020 1:18 pm : link
Ughhh
I'd love to see a player signed for one game  
Route 9 : 8/1/2020 1:19 pm : link
just to punch one of these refs in the face.

4+ periods in Toronto and what... 2 or 3 real quality scoring chances?  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 8/1/2020 1:22 pm : link
Shoot the fucking puck already.

Another breakaway, another penalty. This is just fucking ugly.

With the penalties - and ANOTHER one!
