I think we learned in game 1 that there is not as much of a gap between the Rangers and Hurricanes as many people may have thought...until the third period. Still, for 40 minutes, the Rangers were the better team and I expect them to come out more aggressively and generate some more offense tonight. Really hope Panarin is able to figure things out quickly or at least make a play or two to jumpstart the second line who has been pretty much invisible for much of these first 8 playoff games. I wouldn't be surprised if in the second period or so if they aren't on the scoreboard yet, to see Gallant move Motte up into the top 6, as he has clearly been one of their best forwards (aside from the kid line). Let's get this back to NY all knotted up.
Because Gallant is inexplicably enamored with them
Time for the come back.
Yep, needed to slide and entirely take away the pass and make that guy shoot. Instead he didn't do anything to stop either a shot or a pass.
Absolutely dog shit effort.
Fuck off
Absolutely dog shit effort.
Not much yet tonight to be sure. Maybe he needs a shot of something -- adrenaline? Worth a try.
I hate this game. Panarin passed up a point blank shot for a dumb ass pass attempt that went nowhere
Down one is not lights out.
I don't like what I'm seeing either....

Too many "pretty passes"...no goal scoring by the top line. Nope, they are done.
IDK, that was just a terrible offensive performance. We couldn't break through.
But I really don’t want them to go out with a whimper….
