  1. Why is this team so reluctant to take Gustafsson out and replace him with Jones. I don't understand the philosophy here. The coach goes back to it's original pairings during the year, and we all know that Miller and Trouba don't have Chemistry , hence why a change was made late in the season. The Rangers have Jones who makes a great 1st pass sitting in the press box and is most likely better than Trouba or Gustafasson. Am I missing something here, because this just does not add up.

  2. For all you arm chair coaches ive going to games since i was 4yrs old and im 61 now . Seen more dissapointing games games than most seen games period !
    The common logic is you should have played Quick in gm 4 after2 OT games.
    Going with Quick on Thurs , should the Rangers lose
    YOU A WELL RESTED SHESTY FOR GAME 7…….
    No coincidence in gm 4 Shesty let in 2 soft goals ….
    Be Real Arm CHAIR WARRIORS

  3. Just like two years ago, Rangers will send the Canes fans home unhappy. Let’s go boys. Score early Send these guys home for the summer

  4. Last two years we have gone through this garbage. Up 2-0 and then lose the series (Tampa one year, Devils the next). This year we were up 3-0!! I know history repeats itself, but this is getting ridiculous. Come on Rangers! LGR!!!

  5. My question is what did you learn from reviewing the tape of the last game? His answer would reveal the areas he is most concerned about which appears to be the team is not expending the effort or desire needed to win in the playoff. So the next question would be, so what can you do to change that team mindset to inspire this team????

  6. Does starting Quick in game 6 send the correct message to the team? I think it might. Also, start and favor 3rd and 4th lines unless the fittest two demonstrate their prowess.

  7. Jones proved this past season that he is the present and future. Lavi is the one that brought Gus here. I doubt Lavi would sit a veteran over a non-starter. I wish he would though…

  8. We need to stop playing back while winning. We need to keep the pressure on like the first 3 games. I haven’t seen the 1 3 1 defense in the last 2 games. This has been a joke the past 2 games. Take Eric G out of the line up. Something needs to change big time or this will be such a collapse. Playing soft not trying to get in the way to stop a shot and shit. It’s driving me crazy

  9. Media is overblowing this. Carolina is a very good team, and nobody expected us to sweep or even finish this in 5. I always thought it would go 7. If we win it in 6, I am thrilled with that outcome. If it gets to 3-3, you can start to worry. But it's 3-2 Rangers. That means we have the edge and are the mathematically odds on favorite to win. All time, the team up 3-2 goes on to win 79% of the time (351-93). But changes do need to be made. If you are just going to leash Rempe, sit him. Otherwise play him, and let him fight Burns or D'Angelo. Dress Chytl and Wheeler. Even at 75% those guys are a net positive (Chytl scored 22 goals last season, he's a good player). Dress Jones and run 7 d-men. Play a gritty, nasty game and draw 4 or 5 penalties. We need a LOT more from our bottom 6. A timely goal from Kakko, Wennberg, Roslovic, Cuylle and Vesey. All of these guys collectively are invisible. Yes we need more from our big guys, but they are the ones that got us to 3-0. Eventually you need SOMETHING from your depth players. Depth or being on the 4th line doesn't mean it's okay to never score. Kakko more than anyone else's job is on the line in the next 2 games. Lafreniere has stepped up his game, Kakko is in his 6th season and still fails to make an impact. Were he playing at 75% of Lafreniere's level, this series would've been over if we'd had one more forward really grinding out there.

  10. Won or lose ( I say lose) these guys still go home to their 10000000 homes and cars and don’t give a shit about you. It’s all on them. You have one decision to support or not.

  11. We had two days to let this last loss settle. I feel the two days off came at the right time. If you think about it, especially the last game, we handed them the game with stupid turnovers, stupid line changes, stupid penalty by Lindgren. I am sure we took the time to discuss and correct these things, correct our approach, and we will have a much better game. Also, we have the better GK. Anderson is a soft goal waiting to happen, Shesti has yet to make a critical mistake.

    Also, we beat this team the first 3 games, it don't matter if it was by one goal or multiple, when the pressure was on, Canes couldn't beat us. When they went down 3-0 I'm sure they played with no pressure, nothing to lose attitude and they still barely beat us. Guess what, now they are back in the series but still down 3-2. The pressure is not just on us, it is back on them again, especially them being at home. I honestly feel we will take the game tomorrow.

  12. People are just overthinking this, fans, non-fans and analyst. It's hockey, win number four is always the hardest, you will always get the opponents best shot. And guess what, we still should have won both game 4 and 5 had it not been for a slow start and dumb penalty in game 4 and just stupid line change, turnovers and effort in the first ten min of the third period of game 5. The Rangers had two days to discuss, figure out the issues, settle down and get back on track. We didn't win the presidents trophy because this team let a loss bother them.

  13. ….i thought coach should have put in Jonathan QUICK last game ….at least during third period… imo it would have made a difference in winning….
