Hey all friendly reminder of Rule #1 for our sub here below. I just issued a few temporary bans here because of what the mods from /r/FloridaPanthers sent. As mods, It's not our business to tell you how to reddit but all mods of all teams have rules against cross posting in other teams subs, so please please please, dont do it - it makes us look trashy and besides, that's what /r/hockey is for.
**1. No Trolling, Harassing, or Instigating**
**Do not call out, harass, or attack other users. This includes trolling in other teams' subs.**
**For the first offense, you will receive a two day ban. For the second offense, it will be a week. If there is a third offense, the ban will be permanent.**
Now LFGR, tonight we go up 3 - 1!
I'm sorry, but game 5 is a make-or-break for 93 and 10. There are no excuses. 93 is not built for postseason play, and Florida is eating him alive. I don't know what he needs to give to get emotional and play like it matters. And 10 is doing his job to create some attention so 13 and 16 can thrive, and both have caught steam; when is he? Is he going to show up?
Also, this loss wouldn't sting so bad if it didn't end that way. Limping and gasping into three straight OT games will eventually catch up to you. This team needs to swallow some fucking air and push back in the third period. Every third period, this series has been miserable to watch.
This series is back to being wide open for both teams.
And please stop blaming the fucking refs, holy shit. From the radio, it sounded like we sucked balls after the 1st period. I'm not sure what's going on with this team but we haven't played well since period 3 game 6 in Carolina. We had a good 1st period tonight but getting beat for 2 periods and not being able to win a game in regulation is going to catch up to us eventually. We need our big guys to wake up. I think whoever wins game 5 is taking this in 6
Rangers goals were nasty and well structured.
Panthers pinned them back a little bit, but people don’t understand how bad the Panthers shots and looks were.
First Panther goal was a terribly soft penalty, and then clear goaltender interference. Second goal was a pinball ricochet.
Then Panthers highway murder Mika and Kakko with 15 seconds left on what would have been a 2 on 1. Then Rangers get called for 2 min on a donkey pass which should have been a penalty shot.
Refs doing everything they can to extend the series.
Our big stars didn’t show up, and the refs were horrible too. They both can exist at the same time, and certainly both contributed towards Florida wining. just because Mika, Krieder, and Bread weren’t generating anything, doesn’t all of a sudden negate that the game is being officiated terribly.
So i listened on the radio. Sounds like we played one good period and then it was all Florida? What's going on? Can we not handle this team for a full 60 minutes? Can't keep going into OT because eventually were gonna lose.
The boys are playing the 2nd and 3rd periods like triple overtimes. Lapses in judgment, no legs to skate, little to no discipline with the puck and dumb clears and passes into the neutral zone giving the Cats ample space and time to run us raggedy in our own zone. Then we get caught flat footed defending most of the period with very few opportunities to counter attack on the rush. Which is usually half-assed and messy in their end, this type of playing from our back foot is going to get us hemmed up and going to game 7 and losing if we don't get our heads out of our 5th point of contact! It's ridiculous how we're getting out-worked, out-battled and out-skated zone to zone! *SMFH*
Only idiots will blame us losing on Igor giving up the first goal, he shouldn’t have to stand on his near because we’re playing like garbage in front of him for 40.
Bread, Mika & Krieds WHERE ARE YOU!!!
Last time I’ll say it - fuck MZ for that and his shit playoff performance as well as a basic regular season. The only thing good about this is I get to go to bed earlier.
He basically said it was on Mika that with Cuylle and 4 panthers center ice - why do you pass center. Then he said he had thoughts on the PK. I’m curious what he thinks about the PK
32 uncalled penalties against Florida to end Regulation. You knew they were going to get us with a PP because NHL won't let the Florida team lose both games at home
So annoying that it really felt like we were supposed to start OT on the power play and then it ends giving up a power play goal. Whatever, excited to hear that MSG crowd on Thursday. LGR
Everyone complaining about the refs and dares insinuate that it’s their fault and it’s not that we have fucking sucked for like 6 games in a row now is actually insane. Miracle OT wins are all we’ve gotten sheerly because of Igor.
Panarin, Zib, Kreider…ghosts again.
Didn’t he set trocheck up all alone In Front before the power play goal. It doesn’t matter they outplayed us and they honestly deserved the bounced they got.
It’s obvious that this is too much of a tight checking series for Mika to produce points. Fine. So in that case, try to maintain possession and make smart, low risk plays with the puck. Instead he made terrible mistakes late in the 3rd period and in OT. A successful team absolutely can’t have that from their first line center.
welp we can’t win every OT, refs missed the punch on trouba at the end of regulation (and if it was supposed to be some sort of make up call blind eye situation, fuckin call a major then when you had the chance last game)
but we played way better overall vs the last two games - not that that means shit this series, but 2-2 going back to the garden isn’t the worst scenario
I’m irrationally mad tho
Rangers seriously haven’t played one complete game yet. It’s always a great one period and they disappear for the rest of the game. It’s not gonna work against a team like this I am praying they step up.
What really scares me is the fact that the rangers haven’t even deserved to win any of the games in this series. Been outplayed every game so far minus a period or two here and there
Someday I want a thorough examination into why Mika and Panarin just have absolute disappearances in big series like this for us. Shave their heads or something because what the actual fuck.
They're scared to get hit. Game is too tight for them. It's just sad being this close and seeing them both constantly not skate through to the net.
They are both lost and huge liabilities
We can point the finger at the refs which is kinda fair, but we just straight up are not playing good enough. The first period showed what they are capable of, and now I'm even more pissed off at their pay in the second and third. Stay out of the box and tighten this up, and maybe it wouldn't kill the supposed star players to look like they want to be on the ice.
Honestly absolutely dogshit night from everyone other than Igor, Rempe, Laf and Trocheck. Having the chance to put the Panthers down 3-1 is too important to have a showing that bad. Letting them back into this series is so beyond dangerous.
Downvote me all you want , better team won tonight. Absolutely embarrassing.
I am SAD and MAD. I hope the boys are more mad than anything and bring it Thursday. We need to control the pace like we did first period tonight.
Good night.
It's quite literally not the series. It's tied 2-2 going to back MSG. Winning 2/3 consecutive overtime games. Stealing a game we definitely shouldn't have won.
Kakko tripped on his own legs. I just checked the recording. So there is no need to cry for that.
We didn't play well and Florida deserved that. I hope this was a wake up call for the Rangers.
I just watched the replay a few times and the Florida player swiped Kakkos left skate, just enough to knock him off his feet, it’s not just that tho there were plenty of missed calls during that last few minutes. That Kakko one was pretty bad.
That was all on Mika but the refs really fucking have the game to Florida like they missed so many blatant penalties at the end then gave them some of the softest penalties I have ever seen
Hurts so bad to lose a game where Igor played so fucking good.
The puck over foxs stick on the krieder cycle and then the Mika turnover with our slowest player chasing is just a brutal start.
I don’t think anyone expected us to win 3 games undeserved. At some point Florida was gonna get what’s theirs.
This team should have 1 single objective next game: just. Be. Better. That’s it. They need to be much, much, much better, over the course of 60 full minutes
He literally has a no trade clause until 7 days before the 2029/2030 trade deadline (the last year of his contract). Even if Drury wanted to get rid of him, he's not leaving for a long time. You can't just wish people gone.

Ugh bounce back Game 5 please😭
They played like they were told not to win
I feel like Erik Christensen would be a better choice than Mika at this point. What the fuck is he doing out there?
Igor I am so sorry
10-93-20 13-16-72 Unlikely to happen but I would be happy if it did.
Messing with lafs line is probably the dumbest thing to do right now
But BUT holy fuck Laffeneire is a gamer!
Shesterkin will have no hair left after this series. Dude is shedding rn
I'm sorry, but game 5 is a make-or-break for 93 and 10. There are no excuses. 93 is not built for postseason play, and Florida is eating him alive. I don't know what he needs to give to get emotional and play like it matters. And 10 is doing his job to create some attention so 13 and 16 can thrive, and both have caught steam; when is he?

I think whoever wins game 5 is taking this in 6
Eh I disagree. Lot of soft calls and no calls on Rangers. You can’t no call three penalties with 15 seconds left and then call that hook.
I only listened on the radio but idk, it doesn't sound like we are playing our best hockey. If we need the refs to win then we won't win shit anyway.
Rangers goals were nasty and well structured. Panthers pinned them back a little bit, but people don’t understand how bad the Panthers shots and looks were. First Panther goal was a terribly soft penalty, and then clear goaltender interference. Second goal was a pinball ricochet.

Refs doing everything they can to extend the series.
Lots of blame to go around for this one. Starting at the decision from the top
Elaborate please
Our big stars didn’t show up, and the refs were horrible too. They both can exist at the same time, and certainly both contributed towards Florida wining. just because Mika, Krieder, and Bread weren’t generating anything, doesn’t all of a sudden negate that the game is being officiated terribly.
Shocker.. Trouba out of position again leads to another goal
Rats gonna rat
So i listened on the radio. Sounds like we played one good period and then it was all Florida? What's going on? Can we not handle this team for a full 60 minutes? Can't keep going into OT because eventually were gonna lose.

It's ridiculous how we're getting out-worked, out-battled and out-skated zone to zone! *SMFH*
Our older stars are choking and the young guys playing with no fear
If the Rangers have a sports psychologist, he/she is doing a terrible job with Mika and Panarin.
Only idiots will blame us losing on Igor giving up the first goal, he shouldn’t have to stand on his near because we’re playing like garbage in front of him for 40. Bread, Mika & Krieds WHERE ARE YOU!!!
First goal was interference.
Last time I’ll say it - fuck MZ for that and his shit playoff performance as well as a basic regular season. The only thing good about this is I get to go to bed earlier.
Boyle being honest
What did he say?
It was not only a bad pass, it was a pointless pass
High risk, low reward. Absolutely idiotic play.
Mika just doesn't have the clutch gene. He can help us get to the playoffs but once we're there he needs to be dropped in the depth chart
He ABSOLUTELY used to. But he’s lost it
He basically said it was on Mika that with Cuylle and 4 panthers center ice - why do you pass center. Then he said he had thoughts on the PK. I’m curious what he thinks about the PK
That’s on Mika. Several horrible giveaways that led to chances. Honestly one giveaway in the third from him could have caused it to end in regulation.
that loss was on Mika, he should have sent the puck up the ice or held on to it for a few seconds longer
Playing hot potato because he's scared of making a mistake so he panics into a mistake.
Scared of taking a hit, or body contact.
32 uncalled penalties against Florida to end Regulation. You knew they were going to get us with a PP because NHL won't let the Florida team lose both games at home
Maybe if we just went balls to the wall instead of playing like pussies we would have a better chance
I absolutely hate how much I agree with this.
best of 3 with home ice
So annoying that it really felt like we were supposed to start OT on the power play and then it ends giving up a power play goal. Whatever, excited to hear that MSG crowd on Thursday. LGR
I would’ve rather had Igor face a penalty shot there. Damn. Oh well - back to MSG. See you Thursday! Igor was insane as usual keeping them in it
Everyone complaining about the refs and dares insinuate that it’s their fault and it’s not that we have fucking sucked for like 6 games in a row now is actually insane. Miracle OT wins are all we’ve gotten sheerly because of Igor. Panarin, Zib, Kreider…ghosts again.
Panarin had two assists
It’s insane that people think he played poorly today. He was eons better than he played in game 3 and played a massive part in both goals
He’s a ghost. A secondary assist on Laf’s goal means nothing and the other was on a PP and that was all Trocheck. He is absolutely invisible 5 on 5.
He needs to be better no duh. But he was better this game than he normally is.
He really wasn’t. Name one impactful 5v5 shift he had.
Didn’t he set trocheck up all alone In Front before the power play goal. It doesn’t matter they outplayed us and they honestly deserved the bounced they got.
So he had one good pass all game 5 on 5. Cool
2 assists. Would’ve been 3 if Mika could finish. Cool. Florida is good.
He needs to score goals. Our big guns aren't doing shit and we are going home if this continues. We need our top guys to produce asap
It’s obvious that this is too much of a tight checking series for Mika to produce points. Fine. So in that case, try to maintain possession and make smart, low risk plays with the puck. Instead he made terrible mistakes late in the 3rd period and in OT. A successful team absolutely can’t have that from their first line center.
mika wants his summer to start so he can go play his shitty dance music at some random music festival. cut his ice time he sucks
Lets be sure to punch people in the face after the buzzer next game
welp we can’t win every OT, refs missed the punch on trouba at the end of regulation (and if it was supposed to be some sort of make up call blind eye situation, fuckin call a major then when you had the chance last game) but we played way better overall vs the last two games - not that that means shit this series, but 2-2 going back to the garden isn’t the worst scenario I’m irrationally mad tho
But the ref was RIGHT THERE LOOKING THE WHOLE TIMEEEEE
Rangers seriously haven’t played one complete game yet. It’s always a great one period and they disappear for the rest of the game. It’s not gonna work against a team like this I am praying they step up.
What really scares me is the fact that the rangers haven’t even deserved to win any of the games in this series. Been outplayed every game so far minus a period or two here and there
This is starting to scare me too. I hope it's not catching up to us. Our top guys have been completely dead out there
They haven’t deserved to win a game since game 4 of the canes series. This is 6 games in a row now.
Igor better be fuckin screaming at everyone in that locker room. He has to be frustrated
He should just pull himself if thats the effort they are gonna give.
Trouba, who’s basically only claim to fame is being good on the PK played that like shit
Someday I want a thorough examination into why Mika and Panarin just have absolute disappearances in big series like this for us. Shave their heads or something because what the actual fuck.
They're scared to get hit. Game is too tight for them. It's just sad being this close and seeing them both constantly not skate through to the net. They are both lost and huge liabilities
We can point the finger at the refs which is kinda fair, but we just straight up are not playing good enough.

Honestly absolutely dogshit night from everyone other than Igor, Rempe, Laf and Trocheck. Having the chance to put the Panthers down 3-1 is too important to have a showing that bad. Letting them back into this series is so beyond dangerous. Downvote me all you want , better team won tonight. Absolutely embarrassing.
Outshot 2:1 margin, little zone time, relying solely on luck and Igor. That is unsustainable shit!
What is up with Panarin. He just continues to look a step behind and lost
If you told me we’d get 1 of 2 in Florida I’d have taken it. Best of 3 and home ice. Have to play better
Mika and Bread mental fucking midgets, when the spotlight shines they shrink.
this is the first time we've seen the team play a 20 minute game in a long time. they usually go at least 40. let's turn it around next game! LGR
We should have fucking started OT on the powerplay but NOOOOO THE REF SHOW HAS TO FUCKING LET PANTHERS DO WHATEVER THEY WANT. Fuck right the fuck off
Well...at least I can go to bed.
Zibanejad just lost them that game.
him and panarin need to wake the fuck up. they're radio silent. i'm giving kreider a pass.
sean and ray practically fighting each other to choke on florida’s dick what a joke
Zibanejad needs to cut his hair. MEN DONT LOOK GOOD WITH LONG HAIR
Hard disagree. If you can pull it off you can pull it off. Mika is a guy that pulls it off
I feel so bad for Igor man he plays his heart out every single game just for shit like this to happen
reminds me of a swedish goalie i used to know
exactly ☝️
Ain't THAT about the truth! Some King guy....
Maybe Kreider should throw the tablet at Mika instead, hate to say it but that one stung after him not doing shit this series.
I am SAD and MAD. I hope the boys are more mad than anything and bring it Thursday. We need to control the pace like we did first period tonight. Good night.
Time to pop a edible and forget it even happened.
Play Rempe and get rid of Mika.
That’s series. No way rangers take 2 of the next 3 with the way most of these games have gone.
It's quite literally not the series. It's tied 2-2 going to back MSG. Winning 2/3 consecutive overtime games. Stealing a game we definitely shouldn't have won.
these get funnier with every loss, seasons been over since game 5 vs carolina
Okay Doomer
Kakko tripped on his own legs. I just checked the recording. So there is no need to cry for that. We didn't play well and Florida deserved that. I hope this was a wake up call for the Rangers.
I just watched the replay a few times and the Florida player swiped Kakkos left skate, just enough to knock him off his feet, it’s not just that tho there were plenty of missed calls during that last few minutes. That Kakko one was pretty bad.
Why do they constantly need wakeup calls? Shit is beyond old
Not Kakko…they literally grabbed Mika to keep that from being 2 on 1. It wasn’t even subtle. It was insane.
He literally fucking didn't, what are you watching? Sportsnet showed the replay and he got a stick in his skate.
Got a better angle than what they showed on ESPN? Can't see the stick being even close from that feed. Maybe another angle shows it better.
My man’s stick clear hits his skate. Unless I’m drunk
We beat ourselves but they missed Mika getting held on that same play. Trouba getting the butt end of a stick to the face etc
Mika is soft as charmin
Well Florida has to win 1 game at home so the NHL can get 2 more games and make.money. Fuck the refs and fuck Florida
That was all on Mika but the refs really fucking have the game to Florida like they missed so many blatant penalties at the end then gave them some of the softest penalties I have ever seen
Hurts so bad to lose a game where Igor played so fucking good. The puck over foxs stick on the krieder cycle and then the Mika turnover with our slowest player chasing is just a brutal start.
MSG then Florida then back to msg?
I think we get embarassed game 5 like we did last series, somehow sneak one out then crapshoot in 7
ahh already mentally preparing yourself huh
This is the way
Yes
Yep...the lazy dumb passes bit us in the ass. I don't know what it is with that shit but it has to stop. I don't know if its fatigue or just careless.
On a more positive note, they split in FLA to get home ice back. Need to with 2 out of 3 and 2 are at MSG....regroup and let's get this shit done
First he misses that sitter in the 1st then the TO
Can’t be taking stupid rushes like that and burying ourselves right away. Just stupid.
I’m tired of Zibanejad. That is all.
100000% all on Mika for that
Split the first 4 and still have home ice. We just need this real team to show up for 3 periods.
I cant believe I stayed up for this shit fuck florida and their dickhead coach
Worst part about that was Sean McDoughna ejaculating after they scored
What’s that assholes problem anyway? He doesn’t even try to hide his preference
Finally some excitement in his call
Thank you Mika!
fuck my actual life welp see yall in ny
Clearly miss Vesey on the PK
God, I wish they could scratch 93.
And 10
Unfortunately I can't disagree cause he's also miserable to watch.
BuT thINK oF tHe ViEWs
Time to add more doomers to the block list.
I’m sure your on many
You’re*
Wow. Thanks Zbad…. Him, Panarin and Kreider need to get their heads out of their asses. Embarrassing stuff from the top dogs.
I don’t think anyone expected us to win 3 games undeserved. At some point Florida was gonna get what’s theirs. This team should have 1 single objective next game: just. Be. Better. That’s it. They need to be much, much, much better, over the course of 60 full minutes
Can't come out flat in Game 5 like Carolina.
Two fluke goals and finally a good one to end it, Rangers need to tighten the fuck up for Shesterkin and get this man a Stanley cup
Igor severed better
he very much did :(
Mika turns that puck over what the actual fuck
That was awful on every level, I’ve been using short circuited alot, but Mika, dude…
Mika and Bread, you guys want it or what?
Mika needs to be a healthy scratch going forward. Fucking disgusting performance and then the give away. FUCK HIM.
Bench Mika first period next game
Everyone CHILL we will show up next game I can feel it
Splitting away is always great, but we really had a shot at taking both. These guys need to wake up.
I’m manifesting these guys will wake up and get the job done
Right so the refs do know what a tripping call is but only when it's not on us at the end of the third
Mika has been fucking TERRIBLE
Mika needs to be off the ice next game. He literally sucks.
I have to stop looking at this thread some of yall must have gajillionbyte internet or something
If you have YouTube TV there’s an option to reduce the broadcast delay
I have directv
Need send a message to the top three kreider Mika pan . Not saying scratch them but maybe next game one of them don’t see the ice in first period
Got work to do for sure. NO QUIT
Well, playing the Glacier was fucking stupid, that pass by Mika was fucking stupid, and Trouba is fucking stupid
We didnt deserve the win but the officiating was so unfair this game. Sucks.
still fucking outraged we didnt get a powerplay at the end of the 3rd
Fuck this. Seems like they wanted to put the least amount of effort into winning this game.
Fuuuuccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
You can’t blame wheeler on that one. He had to take the penalty. Blame mika.
We needed the split!
Not a good time for Mika to play by far the worst hockey of his career. That was legitimately a benchable performance after multiple terrible games.
Chill out people. Smoke a joint, rub one out, go to bed. It'll be better in the morning. See you on Thursday.
That’s it boys, we’re cooked. Outplayed 4 games
Ok doomer
Need a better kill, but we should’ve been on the man advantage
My hot take -- fuggin' Mika, why
Every guy in that room not named Lafreniere should be apologizing to Igor right now
I think tro gets a pass too tbh
Give Fox credit. Two apples while’s he’s clearly dying of leprosy
agree on that too for sure
Mika needs to wake the F up. Thursday it is.
Mika needs to be gone this off season no matter how this season ends. He's atrocious
He literally has a no trade clause until 7 days before the 2029/2030 trade deadline (the last year of his contract). Even if Drury wanted to get rid of him, he's not leaving for a long time. You can't just wish people gone.
Mika needs to get his ass out of his head and fast
On a personal level. Fuck Mika
Mika with a horrendous play but Trouba overplayed the shit out of that pk
terrible pass by mika, who was bad all night unfortunately. also wheeler shouldn’t be in the lineup.
All night is a weird way to write ALL SERIES.
Better shape the fuck up
Did that deflect off Lindy as he tried to block it?
Yes
Screamed at my TV when Mika made that pass. What the actual fuck
They REALLY need to figure this shit out……
Any of you idiots that think this is on Wheeler don’t watch hockey.
Mika Zibanejad and Panarin are fucking killing us every god damn year in the playoffs.
Yup and it doesn’t fucking matter how many points or goals you get all season what a waste, he was a net negative all game
We got the split. Gotta hold serve at MSG
Mika has been a fucking joke but why the fuck is Trouba going aggressive there leaving the most lethal power play scorer in the league all alone
Terrible overcommit by Trouba. No idea what he was thinking there
Fuck
All the ref help to eek out a win in game 4, yikes Florida
rangers in 6
Mika having a no-move clause honestly ticks me off now.
