Die hard Ranger fan here, Rod is truly a top 5 coach in the league. Itās unfortunate that Carolina will probably part ways with him at some point, amazing guy & very smart
What a great coach. I don't think I've ever seen a more honest post-game interview. I'm a Ranger fan but I know we beat a great team, I know our goalie was the difference, I know puck luck was on our side last night.
One day in the summer of 95 as me and another guy were getting ready in the locker room to play a pickup game at Holydel Rink in Jersey , the door flies open and in walks Rod with his gear. He just wanted to skate and he played the whole hour and a half with us.
Shesterkin was the MVP of the series. Switch goalies and the Canes easily win this series. Canes HAVE to upgrade at goaltender or else this will be repeated next year and the year after that. And they also HAVE to resign Brind'Amour. A no-brainer there. The very second Brind'Amour becomes available to other teams, his phone will be ringing and ringing and ringing and teams will be throwing money at him. One of the very best coaches in the league and everyone knows it.
You blew it, Freddie. Don't have what it takes to win the games that matter in the playoffs just like many on the Leafs etc. then and still who can't crack it in the playoffs. That's the difference between NHL players and All-World players.
You guys are a phenomenal regular season team, but just can't hack the playoffs. Now, let's all bow to the Rangers and continue to be in awe of their season! LGR!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to say this but Rangers don't win a single game if Igor didn't play like he did. The guy was fucking unreal. Canes had 67 more shots on goal for the entire series lol. You can see how quickly we would get goals as soon as we could get past Igor for the first or second time, because the rest of the rangers team was hardly there. Canes just choked like they usually do. Giving up short handed goals, and making huge mistakes defensively and offensively that just bring the rangers right back in. The puck being handed to them on a silver platter way too many times. Don't think the rangers have the team to win the stanely cup but they sure as fuck got the goalie for it. #hardtobeacanesfan
Alot of luck in hockey….players on you so quick….deflections screens. Difference between scoring and not is so little. With all the wow over nyr..and yes they are excellent team..florida will be a series favorite…lines are out….
As a Leafs fan I can tell you right now why Carolina keeps losing! It your goaltender Frederik Andersen!! He's NOT and elite goaltender. He chokes when you need him most, he did in Toronto and he's doing it in Carolina. He lets in the KILLER soft goal at the biggest moments.
If Carolina ever got their panties in a bunch and moved on from Rod, the guy would have another job the day beforeeee YESTERDAY! There would be teams willing to fire their current head coaches to bring him in. He's a top 5, I actually think Top 3 coach in the NHL. He works for a SMALL market team that has grown it's fan base and hockey in the city x100 because of his success year in and year out! You can'tttt argue with consistency! The championship will eventually come whether its in Carolina or elsewhere as I began my post by saying. Great Coach and Class Act. š
Best team in the playoffs. No one played a more consistent style and no team played more consistently than Carolina. They all pressed as a team on the forecheck all the time. Love this guy. Amazing style of hockey they play. Itās wild how through the whole series the rangers couldnāt spend more than a minute in Carolinaās zone. And then from minute 50-55 they dominated. The most pressure the rangers had in the entire series.
Rangers fan here. Canes rock… your team is so good I almost feel bad you lost. After game 5, I was sure we were cooked. Just wanted to pay my respects to the team and fans of the Canes.
I'm a huge ranger fan but Rod had that team fighting if they let him walk they are stupid the guy can coach and great series respect to Carolina it was a hard fought
Great series! IMO the best two teams in the NHL. Rod is just pure class and refreshing to hear his analysis. If I were Jersey I'd make sure this guy doesn't walk before bringing on a new coach. He would be great (anywhere). Great hockey! Good luck to NYR the rest of the way~
Why are my fellow Ranger fans all over this guyās schlong? F him and his dirty team. High sticks, slashes and cross checks every shift and rarely a call for it. They know the refs will only call one or two

Respect to Rod from a Rangers fan.

Staal lost 2 games for them this series with a stupid penalty. What a captain.
The Leafs brass should interview Rod B, for the HC position -Toronto Maple Leafs? Tre, get-r-done!
Hurricanes should keep Rod. They had a great year.
Rod, total respect from a Ranger fan. Class act as a player and coach.
Another round of blah blah blah from the most overrated coach in the league fuck him. I hope he never gets another job
I didn't watch every period of every game but from what I see they out shot rangers every game and essentially got goalied by Igor
toronto needs hiim
Class act. Respect to Rod BrindāAmour.
I'm a huge ranger fan but Rod had that team fighting if they let him walk they are stupid the guy can coach and great series respect to Carolina it was a hard fought
Rod the second round fraud
Hell of a series! Both teams played their asses off!
Tell everyone the truth āAnderson sucked.ā Please donāt have him back next year. No more lazy goalies
UNREAL HOW YOU BLOW A 3 1 LEAD AT HOME AND GIVE UP A HATRICK LESS THAN 9 MINS.
Donāt worry canes fans the panther will get the job done.
Great series! IMO the best two teams in the NHL. Rod is just pure class and refreshing to hear his analysis. If I were Jersey I'd make sure this guy doesn't walk before bringing on a new coach. He would be great (anywhere). Great hockey! Good luck to NYR the rest of the way~
It's funny as a Ranger fan I always HATED Brindamour on the Flyers but as a coach he's super likeable. Great coach too.
Fire brindamour he loses every year in the playoffs
what a Hockey player, what a Coach, so glad he will be a Caine for a long time, "The Hockey Writers" saying he will sign with Leafs, no way Jose
Rod is turning before our eyes into that William Dafoe meme
He looks and sounds like Jimmy Fallon and Bobcat Goldthwait had a kid, with that weird fluctuation in his voice and eyeballs popping. lol
Why are my fellow Ranger fans all over this guyās schlong? F him and his dirty team. High sticks, slashes and cross checks every shift and rarely a call for it. They know the refs will only call one or two
Anyone who concusses Lindros WWE style is A-OK in my book.
