Don’t think that Igor penalty was bullshit. He leveled him outside the crease. I DO however think that was intentional from Igor since 3 players were on ice for 3 minutes. With that being said, this is an extremely successful season. Go steal one in Carolina on Monday.
I understand that the home team has won every game, but the Rangers at least have kept it close on the road. Carolina is just BAD on the road in the playoffs.
Not to look ahead but the Rangers were 3-0 vs the Lightning this year and really outplayed them. The thing that won this game for the Rangers were the young guys playing very well. If we get that kind of play out of them on Monday we are going to the conference finals.
With respect, I disagree. This game saw goals from Zibanejad and Panarin. When they deliver, the Rangers win.
rangers were 3-1 and 1-3 against Pitt and Carolina in the regular season respectively. regular season doesn’t matter. Vasilevskiy is playing on another planet right now.
The Rangers don't win this game without Chytil's goals. When they have three lines making a strong contribution they are hard to match up against and their overall defensive effort backboned by Shesty is very hard to beat. Mika's line:1 goal, Panarin's line:1 goal, the 4th line: 1 goal, the young guys: 2 goals. Nobody is going to stand up well when all 4 lines are a threat.
