eh idk. I am watching the game now and Florida defence looks totally different against Edmonton. Edmonton actually can enter the zone and rush the net. We had difficulties to even reach the blue line.
Sure then there is Bobrovski, he is excellent. Could have been 2 goals to Edmonton by now if there was some average goalie (which probably isn’t the case when playing for the cup)

Sounds like copium for what was a dog shit effort

My guy, we should want to be like the Panthers. We should want to be the team that does this.

This fucking complacency from all of you here! This has to be 100th post or comment with the same sentiment.
Bro, let me ask you something, are the Panthers going away? Is their system just going to change?
Why the fuck do we see other teams falter and say “oh look, they’re sucking too”.
Are we just going to be second best to the Panthers for the next few years because of this bullshit attitude.
What the fuck, man. WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT WAYS TO GET BETTER. Not focus on how other teams are getting buried by the Panthers.
And, by the way, we did not outshoot them. The Oilers are.
FoxMan1Dva3
We were consistently outshot by Carolina.
No shocker Florida did the same.
Zibanajed and Kreider didn’t do much on EVS either.
5v5 is very important guys. But stop acting like this is the only team that was better than us on 5V5. We were mid table and it needs improvement.
Also, last game Edmonton got out shot. So good for Florida but I wanna be Florida.

Nope. Wrong. Its all over. The window is closed forever and a day. We’ll never be this good in three lifetimes. Rangers are garbage and we should blow up the team. PK and Biz were right that the Rangers were garbage. Send Igor to wherever for a 5th round draft pick. Tell Mika and Bread theyre worthless and the worst decisions ever made in the history of the franchise; we’ll send them packing while retaining 50% on each. Send Trouba away with a buyout. Hire ninja’s to kidnap Kaapo Kakko. Retire Krieders jersey in a pile of broken dreams. Sell Fox and Lindgren to the glue factory. Throw Laviolette into the sun and beg Kris Knoblauch to abandon Edmonton and come back. Tell Dolan to sell MSG and move it to Hartford, CT. These are all things I would say if I was this sub nowadays. Panthers were that good. They are that good. They’ll probably win the cup. Good for them. I had a blast watching some of the best Rangers hockey in a decade. I am stoked for the off season and cant wait to see what we do next year. Maybe we’ll be like the Caps when they won the Presidents Trophy but won the Cup the year after!

Both things can be true
Panthers are an amazing team who deserved to win…. But mika’s effort in the whole Panthers series was abysmal at BEST. When kakko was a bigger presence than Mika, you have a big fucking problem.

Floridas gm maybe the best GM in all of sports:
1. He stole Tkachuk from Calgary (Calgary GM fired shortly after)
2. He stole Reinhart from Buffalo (even more of a heist)
3. He somehow got Forsling off waivers
NeilHamburgerHead
Yes let’s relax because our team has no chance against the other team
Fuck it lets not even play the games
flaamed
Yea there always seems to be a new team better than us each year
RhythmTimeDivision
Anyone else bored as fuck by the Cup Finals?

Both things can be true. Florida is absolutely dominant in the playoffs this year. There is no questioning, debating or arguing that in the slightest.
But our stars also disappeared last year against the DEVILS, a notoriously soft team in round one, and Tampa the year before in the ECF. “Florida is just that good bro” is not a justification for 3 years of the same thing.
I’m also not one of those “BLOW UP THE WHOLE CORE AND START OVER” people. I think we need to make some creative lineup changes, get a solid 1RW, and Lav needs to pull out his inner Mike Keenan and bench the stars if they aren’t putting in the effort. He famously benched Leetch in 94 and look what happened there.

“Relax”
So what’s the excuse for the other years our top guys disappeared
cha-cha_dancer
Yup though we were also hurt. But yea that’s a unit down there in Bro-Co
EliManningsPetDog
What do you mean relax? “Relax guys we’ll get ‘em next time!”
The season is literally over lol

Sure if it was the first time. Mika has been shit down by multiple playoff teams and it’s not just lack of production but the way he looks on the ice. Watching him is pathetic, he’s coasting around like a preseason game in a playoff game with an empty net. The guys offensive production is a 1 trick pony of setting up in ovechkins office on the PP which works in the regular season, but not in the playoffs when teams all out game plan for you
RhythmTimeDivision
How the fuck did they win 3 series?
Brocktarrr
I was pretty anti-Zibanijad after the series ended but uhhh if they’re doing this to McDavid I should probably shut up
DannysFavorite945
Florida really is that good and it’s painful. You can’t score if they are always first on the puck and their flawless forecheck keeps possession. ESPN always hypes up the goalie to make their storylines. Bob is a great goalie making the saves he should make. He isn’t being badly screened or put out of position. He will gladly take shots from the boards all night. Edmonton needs to quit the OLAY bullshit and dump the puck in early to win on the boards.
The last part of my rant is that Rangers would have also had their way with this Edmonton team. Pain.

I’m so sick of these posts

The ECF were the real stanley cup final

The good news is that the Panthers have 11 UFAs after the season. There’s no way they can keep this team together
PeteyG89
Idk this was the year to fucking do it man. Sick to my stomach still
Helpful_Project_8436
The sad part is that we would have destroyed Edmonton too. Whoever won the Rangers-Panthers series was always winning the cup, Edmonton and Dallas were nowhere near as good as Florida or us
snowball721
Shame it wasn’t just florida. It was carolina and the devils and tampa too. We need some changes. We can’t have guys that constantly get out worked when may or june comes around. Blowing it up might not be the answer but shaking up the core probably is. Remember florida suddenly became a playoff juggernaut after they traded one of their bigger core guys.

This is the exact reason why you can’t relax as a Rangers fan
lsd418
Reinhart and Montour are free agents. But we probably have negative cap space, but if you can’t beat em, sign em
homiej420
Yeah it wasnt his fault 🙁
But those two plays in the last couple of seconds of games 4 and 5 didnt help
MossCovered_Gradunza
That’s a loser mindset. I’m not saying all the complaining is completely justified. But simultaneously, saying “look, they do it to everyone!” Is a defeatist way to look at it. Don’t accept this as being ok. Find a way to be what they are, but better.
