NHL 2024 1/2 Season thread……

[SplitShot]

Dont think they got the message BD .... just not playing like a cohesive unit... PP which was great all season has gone south... and we keep taking penalties tiring our PK guys out... and they keep banging us into the boards just wearing our guys down... and still to many lax passes that get turned over.... it's do or die situation now

Hey Split / BD: We did play better last night but not enough. Lets face it Panthers play with more puck desperation.
Panarin playing with a nerf stick is starting to wear me out
Some bad puck luck for Igor ( brilliant again) but poor defense at the wrong time.
IF there is still a parallel to 94 then we win in 7 Just need a guarantee before game 6 LOL

Let me first say I totally apologize for posting this ………

As a Bruin fan I feel your pain watching this series but also laugh at ya’ll. I know, it sux and the anxiety of screaming at the TV is unbearable. But funny to me nonetheless.

Good luck boys. Still pulling for ya and still think ya can do 2 in a row.

But still smirking at ya misery

[Duffman]

And so it goes.

Scoring 12 goals in 6 games just ain’t gonna cut it in the playoffs.

Long nite and early morning. Off to chase the flat ones. Have a miserable day boys…..

Up to this series the Ranger season was by far more then I expected so gotta give them credit for all the smiles I had.... don't know how they imploded with all our top guys just disappearing but gotta give Florida credit for playing their game and coming out on top... was thrilled to make it to 3rd round ... don't know if injuries will go public now, or just ran out of gas.... anyway, no regrets... Igor was beyond stellar and if a few of our top guys would've got hot along with our regular season PP we definitely would've went all the way!!

LET'S GO RANGERS!!!

panthers were just to tuff all around.fines style hockey is no match for the hit and grind game that the panthers play.i love the rangers and always will but i hope the front desk sees what we are lacking.we played great hockey this year no doubt and played as a team.igor kept us in allot of those game and deserves
the praise of all.lets go rangers!!!!! four!!!!!!!

[Duffman]

Florida Panthers VS Edmonton Oilers. Holy shit could the NHL hate a match up any more than that?

Ratings BOMB. Not good for hockey

Right you are Duff although some will tune in to see Conner McDavid.

Finally able to post lol: Panthers much better getting to pucks and exposed Rangers weakness 5 on 5 which will hopefully be addressed. Cant rely on small goal scorers and PP when it doesn't happen. Cup won in the trenches! Basically Panthers top guns didn't do much either Mouth guard guy nothing special, along with Barkov (except faceoffs) . Reinhardt etc so their bottom 6 did the grunt work.

Will be interesting but could get rid of Trouba (can waive no trade for 16 teams) Kakko (experiment over) and Goodrew (hate to see him go) but that frees up cap space and ice time for better / tougher players.

Somehow Messier needs to end up on coaching staff!

Till next year and as always Duff / Thanks for putting this thread together!

I absolutely suck at picking ANYTHING…….but here it goes…..

Travel time and distance will give home ice the advantage big time. Panthers a bigger more physical team and will bottle up McDavid. Goes the distance. Panthers in 7.
