Have been an abomination in this series. The core of this team has been shit. What kind of fucking pass is Zibanejad making into a guys feet at the blue line?
And fuck these refs. They missed three penalties on the Panthers in the last 39 seconds of regulation.
I thought Miller had a decent game relatively speaking. But the analytics aren’t going to look good for anyone on the team right now. They’re playing like absolute amateurs in their own zone and managing the puck. Florida is an aggressive forechecking team but we’re reacting like we have not one clue what to do to counter that. Constant panic making a single damn pass exiting the zone. They look like my beer league team. Figure it the fuck out. Eventually pucks start bouncing off pads and going in when the other team is allowed to throw 100 pucks at the net. Not sustainable. They’re a good team. They’re not the 85 Oilers. Figure it out

Horrific game by 93. Never gave the team a chance in OT
Nice positioning by Trouba aka the most defensively aware defenseman or whatever (hey pj, know you’re reading)
Playing this way isn’t sustainable. Reintroduce the team to the puck on the off day. It is not a grenade
Trouba wasn't even on the ice until the turnover was made. You can lay a lot at Troubas feet, but not that one.
I’m talking about the PK, why is he chasing to the wall? Florida is living off the goal line on the PK and he’s caught above the circles for really no reason. Whatever, he’s average. It is what it is. He’s not the only one

Sure seems that way. I've never seen a team with this much talent repeatedly give up the puck..both willingly and unintentionally. They want a break...not a rush. Why?
Igor saved their asses entire game.
It is not sustainable to win this series if the first line most notably Kreider continues to play like shit.
At least Panarin is trying
Zibby is way off his game.
D corps need to stop stick checking in their zone
Honestly, Panthers putting it to the Rangers regardless of their dirty tactics.
Based on how we played the first 4 games we are lucky to be going back to MSG at 2 games a piece
Thank you Igor.

They’re ALL doing it and leaving the slot and goal line completely exposed on PKs. I truly have no idea why they’re playing so aggressively. You’d think Ray Bourque is on the ice the way they’re playing it.
PJ and others like to tout the fact that he blocks a ton of shots. Well, he blocks a lot of shots because HE'S ALWAYS PINNED IN HIS OWN END. The guy can't move the puck out of the fucking zone. He'll either cough it up, take a dumb fucking penalty, or just be pinned down in his zone.
Of course he's going to block a lot of shots. It's because he basically lives in the defensive zone!
8M per for a "captain" who constantly fucks up and then covers his fuckups with penalties and cheapshots. Incredible.
Panarin's cap hit is 45% greater than Trouba's....
and year after year he proves that he is too soft to be a playoff performer.
Playoff hockey is a different game. Perimeter dangles don't get it done against quality opponents. There are perhaps five (5!) forwards on Florida we would prefer to dress than Bread but he carries the fourth highest cap hit in the NHL

Zibanejad has been awful. Totally outclassed by Barkov this series. If they lose this series, he's #1 on my shit list.
Officials missed two calls in the final minute. Really bullshit.
That’s a poor read and way too aggressive of a play on the winning goal, is it not?
But it’s not all on him. Trouba is just the poster boy, because of the salary and captain status, for my collective issue with this defense group that can’t handle a forecheck with composure and move the puck effectively. Compounded by the Fox injury. Certain forwards are going to take a lot of shit, and most of it is warranted. But they can barely get a clean pass to actually have a chance to attack Florida with some speed. It makes it tough.
All of that said, Mika was terrible and he’s getting his lunch fed to him by Barkov. A lot on the line for him these next 2-3 games. He did get held at the end of regulation, saw that. Could have been a 2 on 1
To be fair none of the fucking Rangers defensemen capable of carrying the puck out of the D zone.
That’s why I have been saying play Zac Jones. It can’t get any worse.

Up to this
Bob has been suntanning back there for the last two periods
Reactions get slower in the sun
Let's hope he plays strong on the wall and corners and makes the game winning dish.
There you go.
But Mika with an ALL-TIME bonehead pass.
And lose the game.
And just like how it was for Gallant. Just like it how it was for Quinn. Kreider and Zibanejad will NEVER be broken up.
Man up.
And fuck these refs. They missed three penalties on the Panthers in the last 39 seconds of regulation.
Off his face and off his hand—bad luck tonight for him
Rangers were changing d. Troubla had just got on the ice as the turnover occured

PJ can throw all the analytics he wants. Trouba is fucking awful and the K'Andre-Trouba pairing is horrific.

Forget goals. Fucking Sergei Bobrovsky has more points than Kreider and Zibanejad.
But let's not break them up. Let's continue playing musical chairs with the RW instead of breaking those two up.
There isn’t a single defenseman who wants to carry the puck out.

Bingo. He sucked for most of the fucking game.
Teams didn’t dominate the black hawks like this night and night out. At some point it would be great if this team would show up.

Yep. And he ain't going anywhere, either.
On the bad side, I’ve pretty much reached my limit with the Trouba/KAM duo. Gotta split them up again.
I won't even mention the number of SNAFUs and fuckups he had tonight and all playoff long.
Watch the GWG. Why the fuck did Trouba chase the puck to the boards instead of staying near the goal.
