We’re pulling no punches after an inexcusably flat performance by the Rangers in a 3-1 Game 4 loss to the Devils. Calling out the top six one by one. Chris Kreider completely takes over Games 1 and 2, then disappears in Games 3 and 4. Artemi Panarin makes a bunch of blind passes to no one. Despite allowing a soft goal, Igor Shesterkin deserved a hell of a lot better from his teammates. It’s gut-check time heading into Game 5. Episode 813.

Garbage effort all night.
No Grit in New York!
Both teams are playing A+ hockey the last 2 games. The first 2 games were not normal games and ranger fans know it.
Fanatics with over reactions. I think this team has heart. When they won 2 to me it wasnt euphoria. They lose 2 its not the bitter end.
I have liked coach strategy all year. If they were playing soft Keenan would have benched maby Fox. The remarks after the game were AFTERWARD.
well….AFTERWARD.
they are missing shots on goal. Perhaps due to Psychology of large body in goal. Even if they hit to goalie there would be rebound opportunities.
Also there is an amount of exceptional and smart joing of play by defensemen. Like Miller. Really I think he gets in these kids heads and it skewes teir decision making.
Fox could certainly make moves towards net. Carrying puck also draws more penalties.
Lets go Rangers!
Man oh man, the conversation on all these comment sections have shifted more than a NASCAR driver……. Can’t say I’m disappointed, but this is why talking smack ain’t the way, comes back to bite ya in the butt. Anyway, let’s see what happens on Thursday. Right now, it’s either team’s series to win (or lose)……. Let’s Go Devils!! 😈
I just don't get it no more with this team. Play really gd first 2games on rd get 10 in those games come home score only 2 not right. 😢
too many ice dancers on this team…Kane? a has been. Vesey? a never was. Panarin? a one trick pony. Kaako? who? the list goes on and on…
I wish I was as optimistic aa much 11 year old, after the lose he says "well, its ok. They'll win the next two". While I'm just re-living all my feelings from the Tampa series last year… and yes, Igor deserves so much better than this team is giving him
Devils are young and hungry
How do we go from overwhelming the Devils in first two games to rolling over at home?
What a waste of a game to watch🥹😑
John,I agree with you it's not on Igor!
Is Gallant ever gonna put Panarin n Kane out there together? It's a sin to acquire Kane at the deadline n not put them out there together…especially now
Just remember Mato Mato one more bill to climb
no intensity from Fox, Zibanajad, and Panarin. They were slow to the puck and could'nt manage it when they had it. Terrible effort.
This teams top guys are an embarrassment honestly
They went out and got two premier players instead of two hard nosed puck handlers. And now theyre paying the price. The Kane signing was the worst, he has no business on this team as they have plenty of undersized shooters. They need grit and got finesse. And in doing so they gave up second third and forth round picks for rentals.
Zigs snapshot off that 40' saucer wasn't going to be stopped I'd rewatch that….
They blew this series, they losing 4 in a row, mark my words down right here. Fire Gallant after this collapse and this roster needs change, start by getting rid of Panarin, I wouldn't be opposed to moving Zibanajed and others to restructure this roster and get the necessary players needed to win a cup, this current squad has no toughness, plays soft, dont fight, dont go in front of the net, dont get dirty goals, no grit, I can go on and on.
Not impressed at all in game 4.
Folks, (Fan since 79) this Ranger team is not cup material. I said this in chats and to my brother when they got Kane…. Good on paper? so what, paper teams don't win cups. The Rangers on paper look great but paper does not show things like Heart, Soul and Grit.
As far as I am concerned, Panarin will never be a playoff guy and who cares if he even had a 150 point season, if you cant produce in the playoffs, its meaningless.
Look at the 94 team, remember the series with the Devils? Even the games we lost it was a battle of grit and will and still the greatest playoff series I have ever seen.
Even if the Rangers pull this series off they wont go all the way unless they decide to use effort every game…..
We traded for Kane, Boston got Bertuzzi….
Boston wants a cup, the Rangers wanted a retirement home for aging stars. Same old Rangers and why we have 1 cup since 1940.
Feels like the Rangers are tryna avoid asweep just to stay sharp and to avoid along wait for the Next Series. Rangers win it in 6. 🤔
Love the Rangers, but they are not going to have luck if Zibanejad, Kane, Panarin have games like this. Zibanejad, especially, is a complete disappointment.
Rangers looked soft and less aggressive the last 2 games. No real offensive pressure in the Devils zone. Also the Rangers are giving Hughes too much space on the ice – he is 170 lbs – they need to bump him and be more physical. They need a big aggressive effort tomorrow night to take back control of this series! The Rangers are too talented and experienced to play as soft as they did these last 2 games at home!
When will this organization ever learn?? They go out and get individual players that have good stats.. but as a team, they don't have one.. its a group of individuals either auditioning for a free agent contract or simply looking for their own stats.. its not a team
I think all the issues you are noting such as bad passing, over skating the puck, and mishandling are symptoms of the devils high pressure system. I believe our Rangers are feeling rushed and believe they have less time than they actually have. I’m a huge Ranger fan myself and this is my first time seeing one of your videos. I must say you made a lot of great points and i enjoy your breakdown. It seems we think similarly and i look forward to watching more of your videos. Hopefully you will make many more this season before the season ends😉.
