NFT: NY Rangers 2023 - 2024 Season

I put my son (10) to bed at 6pm. I've been getting him at midnight for puck drop. He loves it, sticks his Bread jersey on and wants a midnight snack with the game. I've enjoyed the playoffs as always but I'm just not relaxed about it.

My Mrs also gets up and watches it with us- she felt like she was missing out after all the noise during the Washington series!

GET THE XXXING PUCK OUT OF THE ZONE!! 

[DaveBrown74]

Not as bad of a period as the shots on goal indicated but not good either. They better figure things out quick....

What a disgusting collapse this is going to be.  While there's no excuse when you're up 3-0 in a series a lot of this will rest on Drury's shoulders.  Added absolutely nothing at the deadline to help the Rangers in the playoffs.  Two guys who lack offense and are complete non factors.

It's been a slow moving car crash ever since that ridiculous late penalty in game four, leading to the game winning goal for Carolina. Been a complete disaster since then. Our guys look utterly lethargic in comparison to the opponent.

At this point (second intermission) the Hurricanes are now a favorite in this series. I know nobody wants to hear that, and I don't either, but it's a fact.

Carolina wants it more. The Rangers are showing a deficiency I thought they had before the season started, the need for more speed. You all know how I feel about certain intangibles, the need to play a mean game.

I don't blame Drury. Teams were asking for the Ranger's best prospects and/or their #1 which Dolan did not want to give up since the draft is being held at the Sphere, his property.

Absolutely, this looks like the team that lost to Tampa and NJ the past two years.

Exactly why this franchise has one cup in 84 years. 

[Messiah717]

Showed heart to tie it again down two in the series.  Now need the winner.

[Messiah717]

Kreider went beast mode.

[Messiah717]

Great comeback.  So funny how the complexion of our night as a fan can change. 

[DaveBrown74]

Absolutely incredible! Been a fan since the early 80s. Definitely one of the top five most riveting wins I can remember. This team was absolutely dead in the water after two periods.

I'm very glad the Canes went back to Freddy Anderson...  guy is a total disaster.

[EDjohnst1981]

What a 3rd period. I thought they were unlucky to be one down after 1.

The Canes came hard and the Rangers rode their luck in the open 3-4 mins of 3rd but after that the Rangers were excellent. I said to my son, they just need the next goal. What a performance from Kreider, Bread was good, Zib was lively. Unreal 3rd.

Hopefully Boston take Florida to 7 as I think the extra time off will be most useful.

Edit - 8 to go!

I've said it before - this is a special group.
