If this was a prize fight…. if this was a bicycle race… If this was a water polo match…. if this was a car race… if this was a game of marbles…. it's not, it's a hockey series and the Rangers have been the better team. Carolina is trying to win the analytic cup and forgetting that at the end of the game they need more goals than the other team.
The Rangers are playing chess and Carolina is playing checkers. You can take a 1000 easy shots, and the more you take the more that bounce the other way and leave you naked. And you're worn out from working so hard to try to create the chaos in the first place. Smart and disciplined always beats chaos at this level.
Our D is not getting enough credit. They are not allowing a lot of good shots, rebounds, while making stretch passes to kickstart the offense. On the other hand, Canes D is allowing odd man rushes including break aways and letting us get goals up close. Big difference in play.
Don if you been watching the Rangers all year you would know this is what the Rangers have done all year. Outside of January they were this good to start and end the season. The metrics don't measure the one thing the Rangers have been going all year…heartwilleffort. All year it was, their numbers are bad but they win.
No one is talking about Staals shot that Igor stopped with the butt end of the stick. That could not have been 😊intentional. Rangers have luck on their side which goes a long way in SC playoffs.
The Canes only look like they played better. But they have never been a threat to the Rangers. Their shots are mostly perimeter low percentage which are going to get eaten up by a goalie like Shesterkin. The Rangers keep taking the slot away and the only time they have looked good is with the empty net and six guys on the ice. They scored 2 goals that way because they crash the net which is where the Rangers live on their end.
Don has to be the hockey analyst in NYC for the past thirty years! Lots of logic, insanely talented and great historical analysis!❤❤❤ you can tell who the better coached team is by how good the special teams are!
8 wins isn’t “halfway.” From a quantitative standpoint it is. But with how increasingly difficult each round is, 14 wins is closer to halfway than 8 is.
Come on you two. You are well aware that no one is supposed to talk about that Boston, New Yourk series when we were up 3 – 0. The kind of talk was outlawed long ago. Lol
How does Kay have a job? Howard Cosell talked about favoritism for ex jocks getting a these jobs…but Kay has taken this to a new level…and Kay was never even an althete on any level above pee wee baseball
Hey Mike…you are mediocre at best…time to go into that goodnight…your 4,000 fans won't miss you
Michael Kay always has a little bit of shit in his pants to smear. That's an exception to his typical diarrhea Kay spews. Kay must really believe he's already been inducted in the broadcasters hall of fame. Do us a favor and get "out here"

Don your take on this series is wrong on so many levels!

I’ve never had so much fun watching the rangers. Best team I’ve ever seen them have in 37 years I’ve seen them.

They seem to be the best Rangers team I’ve watched since I’ve been alive.
I'm just enjoying the RIDE…Thank you Rangers…

The worst assessment possible. I've watched every second and never felt truly threatened.
Igor has kept the Rangers in this!!!
And Carolina was favored this series lol
Shesterkin has been fantastic. His positioning is superb – he's always in position to make a save.
I was skeptical about putting Chytil in but Laviolette knows what he's doing.

Kreider, Fox & Igor will eventually get MSG banners, no matter what. But a ‘24 Cup win would probably add Mika & Panarin.
When i heard the radio call, i thought of Michael Kay. 🤣🤣🤣 I knew Dave ruining Sam's call would annoy him!
id Like to Hear Michael Kay call a Rangers game.
Classic Don not knowing what he's talking about

Don is on point
How does Kay have a job?

How did the rangers success become a bashing on the Yankees?
No doubt that Shesterkin is the best goalie in the league
