yave1964 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I went against my better judgement and took the Rangers in 5. Love both teams, both up and comers doing it right, I think Panarin justifies his huge deal in a big way dominating Mrazek in the series.

Here is why....call me crazy but I believe the Rangers are gonna run with Shester in goal. I know he is a rookie but he was riding the hot glove prior to COVID and his care accident. It's a lot on a rookie's shoulders but he did well on the KHL stage. I believe we are seeing the end of King Henry..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) Canes rip off the Rangers uni look. Canes rip the Rangers a new ass- I hate the Rangers so even though they are markedly better in goal they still suck. The 'Canes have better d and more experience. 'canes in 4 because **** the Rangers Edited July 23, 2020 by mojo1917 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 So Canes take game #1 as Shester is pulled as starting. Sir Henry takes the bet. With Lunqvist in goal the Canes win... will be interesting to see who the Rangers start in net Game 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Have we seen Henrik's last ever game for the Rangers? Svech with the Canes first ever hat trick in the playoffs...wow didn't realize that had never happened before with all the great forward that have played for them.

yave1964 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I really thought the Rags would make this a series but they didnt show up. Strome was awful today, Chytil was positively dreadful and by the third period the team was going through the motions. Carolina looks for real while the rangers look ready to go somewhere and shelter in place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Henry’s career in NY is just about done.... agree .. thought Rangers would have made more of a series than what has been shown...

I would argue that Lundqvist is not the problem in the series, it is lack of intensity from the Rangers. They had some push in the first then they let Carolina carry the play from then on. Tony DeAngelo fought with Martinook late after the game was out of reach, actually Martinook took a roughing penalty and instead of the Rangers having a last gap power play DeAngelo chose to fight for some stupid reason negating any final chance. Then Kreider took a dumb penalty late as well for roughing. Carolina simply owns the series, they are skilled and tough and the rangers have no answer, Shesterkin would not have made a difference, but agreed Lundqvist is about done on broadway. I think he will be in net at Little Caesars next year, for better or worse..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's not COVID, since the NHL released a total of zero positives in 7,000+ tests over the last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 And anyone who is watching this series has to know now that Svechnikov and Aho are true superstars. I truly thought that Zibby and Bread man would be the best two players but Carolina has more depth. but the two stars in Carolina are just dominating right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hf101 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 The Rangers will start rookie Igor Shesterkin between the pipes for their must-win game 3. However Shesterkin was deemed unfit to play in the first 2 games. yikes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good knowing ya Henrik he'll be playing for another club next year. Seems like a perfect cast off fit for the Flames! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Canes look damn good both ends of the ice. Rangers quit. Pure and simple. Never saw a team with less desire in a postseason series. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I hate the Rangers and am glad they lost. The only good thing about them has been King Henrik who is a total class act, almost like "what's he doing on that dumpster fire?" I hope they lose all games for the rest of their overrated existence. I hate their young talent and all the ******** takes about how they're "on the rise". They can all suck it. God, it feels good to get some sports hate going. Next up I hope a sinkhole swallows the panthers NYI game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
