Almost a carbon copy of ECF vs Tampa.
Opponent makes one adjustment and NYR can’t figure it out.
Maddening. Igor seems destined to go the way of Hank right now.
Hell, he even (technically) had a shot on goal at one point. Just a sad, pathetic performance
Missed off the board is just what a presence Nico Hischier was the entire game. That man leading this team in all ways!
From an Isles fan, those Rangers Suck chants were chef's kiss.
im actually speechless how dominant the devils were last night. Felt good.
What a series so far.
…How does NYR get only TWO shots…in the third where they were down by THREE?? That's…absolutely pathetic. Both of those shots could've went in and it wouldn't have changed anything! Yikes. I did not predict this series well.
sometimes a team with little to no playoff experience shows up and defies expectations because they have no expectations, nothing to lose
i feel like we haven't seen a team like that since the 2019 canes
if the isles don't make it through, im expecting Jersey in the conference finals against a wounded atlantic team
got to be the worst series on TV so far
Haula has been that playoff veteran we hoped Palat would be- and Palat has stepped up too in the past couple of games! Igor was yapping at his team in Game 4 too and it didn’t help them. He seems determined not to let Timo Meier score on him though 😂 LGD😈
Pure and simple, this series has turned into a case of the Ranger's slower and older legs vs. the Devil's fast and young legs. The Ranger's are also intimidated by Kevin Bahl. Whenever he was on the ice, the Ranger's were not nearly as physical as when he is in between shifts. I got to give a lot of kudos to Barclay Goodrow for hanging tough with Bahl in their fight last night. Bahl rocked him with his first punch but Goodrow hung tough (I also think Bahl held off after nailing Goodrow…very classy). LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
As awesome of a win as this was, it’s not over. Better come ready to go Saturday. Rags will have their strongest push.
Utterly disgusted with this Rangers team, all that star power and no team
I had a feeling this was going to happen when I knew the Rangers would play the Devils. Devils have been over achieving all year and Rangers have been up and down. All these stars and we can’t score. Drury needs to wake up this offseason and make serious decisions.
I'm already seeing people call for Gerard Galant's head
I still don't understand the Kane trade for NYR. Yes, he's a future HOFer who still has some fuel in the tank, but he's not what they needed. Another skilled, but slow player is the worst thing to have against a skilled and fast team like the Devils
F THE RANGERS !!!!!
In my opinion it took the Devils 3 games to figure out what playoff hockey was all about. They looked like deer in the headlights the first two games. The third game was better but I still feel they got outplayed. We were lucky to win that one in OT. Thanks bread man for not being able to hit the net on all those chances in game 3. Game 4 and 5 they were clearly the better team and dominated long stretches. Especially the 3rd periods. Hope they can keep it going and send the Rangers packing. Only way that won't happen is if Igor is superhuman (which is possible).
Since Arizona isn't in the playoffs I've been rooting for New Jersey this year.
How I'm feeling now compared to how I was feeling a week ago, what a complete 180. After giving us Devils fans so little to cheer for for much of the past decade, our team is on the verge of winning a playoff round. Holy crap.
Schmid reminds me of a young goalie in 2006 named Cam Ward. In a word – unflappable!
Schmid is a beast!!!
The talk to fire a coach is crazy to me. These are two teams with high expectations that are up against each other in the first round. One team has to lose earlier than they hoped. That’s not on the coach, it’s just how it works.
I get that maybe it feels like the Rangers underperformed in these games (even though Game 3 was crazy close), but I’m not really sure it’s on Gallant. I’m curious how you feel about this.
Same tone as Ian Bagg, which is a bit funny
Rangers are going nowhere
Total & complete domination.
I'm still sticking to my prediction of the Rangers winning the Cup
I was not expecting a Joe Dirt reference
LETS GO DEVILS
Unbelievable shutdown of NYR we are living in there head and I’m Igor’s head all we need is one more win Devils you guys got this!!! LGDDDD!!!!! 🖤😈 Win Game 6 at the Garden 🪴 and Eliminate those Rangers in front of there home crowd tomorrow night, THE ROAD WARRIORS ARE COMING TO MSG TO TEAR THE HOUSE DOWN, WE ARE RESILIENT LGDDDDD! 🔥🔥🔥 let’s put lots of salt in the wound and win in 6 games tomorrow on the road, Rangers sounded defeated, they look very tired 😴 and all shook up everything’s in our favor getting into there heads, we have the full momentum and sent them back to the Garden 🪴 where they now face Elimination tomorrow night and they didn’t even score 1 goal at our building last night they got shutout!! Fuck NYR Let’s Go Devils! 😈🔥🔥
Devils can't get cocky. The Rangers and Shesterkin will bring their absolute best effort on Saturday.
fwiw I feel if the Devils lose this series no chance Ruff is getting fired. Not after this kind of season and the growth of the young talent and how hard they play for Lindy and how resilient they have been
Gallant should not lose his job either. NYR was in Game 6 of the ECF last yea. No reason to fire the coach, they had another great year for him
Trust me, it's typical rangers making 3rd strings look like the next Hasek… Schmid against any other team in the league and he'll literally go back to being AHL standard… His rebound control is not good, he has a weak low blocker and what a surprise… RANGERS DOES nothing to try and counter this…. Schmid is living rent-free in their heads now thinking they need a perfect shot to beat him lol…. Powerplay doing 10 extra passes instead of getting it low or shooting and ends up giving away a shorty… story of rangers since forever aswell… Rangers offense is 70% Panarin and 20% fox for the last 2 years and if Panarin doesn't show up (which he usually doesn't in playoffs) Team is dead offensively.. Devils in 6 GG…
I am a new Devils fan, what has been the adjustment the Devils coach has done to neutralize the rangers?? How can you go from allowing 10 goals in 2 games to 2 goals in 3 games??
Rangers gave up.
its embarassing to be a rangers fan rn
Lol no one saw playoff motha truckin HAULA rising to the occasion, no one but THG
IIIIIIIIgggooooooooooorrr chants are fantastic!
I remember Northlands Coliseum chants of "Heeeeeeexxx-Taaaaaaallllllll" that obviously rattled him in those two Oilers-Flyers cup finals 😀
Igor with zero hesitation after a great save on yet another quality chance skating to the far bench to yell at his teammates is one of the best things I have seen in ages. The fact that they did not respond after that suggests that either they 1) have no heart left 2) have no strategy for how to overcome the NJ style of play…which would fall on the coach. Big question is which is it
Hischier is unbelievable this series. He may not have scored, but he has done quite literally everything else. So happy for him.
Repeating what everyone else said, Shesterkin was the only reason it wasn’t a blowout by the end
The way the Devils completely dominated this one reminded me a lot of the March 30th game. I thought the Devils completely outclassed the Rangers during that final regular season matchup, with the only real mistake being a Sharangovich turnover in the D-zone leading to the lone Kreider goal
I’m incredibly proud that Devils have managed to settle things down, and play the game that they’ve been capable of, and actually playing all season long. Let’s go Devils!!
Now THIS is the Devils we’re used to seeing.
Bahl's a big, strong guy but it was obvious from his scrap with Goodrow he doesn't know how to hockey-fight.
I went to MSG as a Devils fan for Game 3 – the way the crowd gave up after the Devils tied it up was remarkable. Legitimately felt like the Rangers were conceding the series in up 2-0 and in overtime of game 3. Will be interesting to see if the Devils can keep this style and intensity for the rest of the Playoffs.
As a rangers fan I truly belive at this point that God doesn't want us to win
This is embarrassing it’s just pathetic Gallant’s changes are doing nothing and he literally said he liked how they’ve played the last 3 games
