Re: New York Rangers 2022/23
A win is a win but....
Did the rangers play that well or were the devils just not ready
One thing is for sure game 2 will not be like game 1
Better be ready the devils are to good for it to happen again

Shesty looks solid
and of course - a giveaway at the blue line ends up in our net
(albeit on a penalty shot)
I don't think we played all that well ourselves
Power Play looks fine
We scouted them well and were all over their power play giving no space

Blueshirts playing more and more like they have some unfinished businesshockeygame3 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 2:31 pmVery surprised at the devils last night
This is a good team and they are going to figure it out at some point
But they are running out of time.....
Game 3 is basically game 7 for them
I would expect their best
adding proven winners to a team that tasted the ether but were then crushed...
huge motivator and it looks like they understand what it's like to flip the switch

gotta see what the broonz do in response

Re: New York Rangers 2022/23
Before they squared off with the Rangers in the 1994 conference final, the Devils fell behind two games to none against the Bruins in the second round.
Martin Brodeur was in goal for the Devils in those first two contests, but they ended up pivoting to Chris Terreri in response to a pair of one-goal defeats.
The Devils went on to win the next four straight to advance to the next round, where the Rangers ultimately beat them in seven games.
That’s not to say the Devils’ decision to replace Vitek Vanecek with rookie Akira Schmid in Game 3 after losing the first two to the Rangers this time around will definitely have the same outcome as their 1994 series against Boston, but the club took a step in that direction with a 2-1 overtime win Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.
“Pepper,” Rangers head coach Gerard Gallant said Sunday of what his team should’ve done more of against the Devils rookie netminder. “More shots, no doubt. More people to the front of the net. That’s what we talked about. I thought the first 10 [minutes] we passed up a lot of those chances and didn’t take advantage of that early. It got better during the game, but you’ve got to do it for 60 minutes and get there.”
Schmid, who the Devils drafted 136th overall in 2018, made just four starts for the NHL club in 2021-22 and spent a majority of that season with AHL Utica.
He spent most of this year’s campaign in the minors, as well, aside from some stretches of NHL play in late November, mid-December and early March with a few extra appearances sprinkled throughout.
This season, the Swiss netminder went 9-5-2 with a 2.13 goals-against average and a .922 save percentage.
Schmid is still technically a rookie despite having parts of two NHL seasons on his résumé, but the Rangers couldn’t tell the difference in the 2-1 overtime loss Saturday night at the Garden.
“Maybe he gets rattled, maybe he doesn’t,” Vincent Trocheck said when asked if the Rangers should put more emphasis on overwhelming an inexperienced netminder competing in his first playoffs. “I think we’ve got to play the same way, either way. Try to get in his face, get a little bit more traffic in front of him and shoot more pucks. I think we passed up a few too many shot opportunities [Saturday] night.”
Chris Kreider is just two power-play goals away from matching the NHL’s record for the most in a single series, a mark set by former Ranger forward Chris Kontos in the 1989 Division Semifinals vs. the Kings.
He is also five shy of the NHL record for the most in a playoff year, which is shared by Mike Bossy (1981) and Cam Neely (1991).
I find it kind of funny that the coach would have to come out and tell the guys this

VERY difficult to watch
six periods of absolutely NOTHING - Jersey has found the Achilles heal this team has always had
they will get stuck in the trap if you play it all night 1-2-1 is turnovers in center ice all day long for them
sadly: breadman shows he has no yeast to rise to the occasion in the playoffs
Paging Mr Zibanejad - your presence is required
ON THE FUCKING DOT during the power play
since Kane has arrived they have tried to force him onto the power play with a shoe horn
NOT WORKING when your best option ends up at the goal line or in the bumper position
Defense wins championships; but the offense needs to show up

Re: New York Rangers 2022/23
Plain and simple the rangers had no answer for the devils speed
Re: New York Rangers 2022/23
Brutal just brutal
I don't mind losing a game 7 (especially on the road)
BUT I MIND GIVING IT AWAY
FOX way way too cute trying to start a power play and yup
it ended up in the back of our net.... AGAIN
ultimately renting Kane wasn't worth the price we paid
I think we may have finished 2nd in the division if we didn't have to play short
and assimilate what was expected to be a great fit
if we wanted him and he us...
should have made that deal in November
oh well
this is done

Re: New York Rangers 2022/23
gonna leave this seasons' thread open a few more days
I may want to rant some more
very disappointed in the way they handled themselves
not sure if the core is good enough or if we need to move perhaps Kreider while he still
has big return value (picks and money) -

Re: New York Rangers 2022/23
my anger and frustration are only now beginning to recede
some interesting comments from the players on the break up day
Igor - vows the NHL hasn't seen his best yet
dude began to swing at players who crowded him in the crease this series
I like it
Gallant seems safe
found out Kreider has a full no move clause
not sure if it's tweaks at the edges or if the core of children just isn't enough
