Mika & Panarin are not built for the playoffs.
Two 🍑🍑
Keep the faith everyone. 2-2 it ain't over. No Quit
L-F-G-R
Shot the dam puck enough with the passes already!!
MIA: Mika, Panarin, and Kreider. Trouba and Miller need to be split up. Miller doesn't hit he just pets other players. Zac Jones should have been in the playoffs. Roslavik does nothing for this team. Shesterkin is our best player and it's a shame we are wasting his performances (reminiscent of the Hank years). Wheelchair should not be out there...would rather see Edstrom. But, 2-2 series....LGR!
Maybe Mika should cut his hair it might have the opposite effect on his play!
Yeah, like George Costanza he needs to do the opposite
The issue I have with the Rangers top players is even if you dont score you can still impact the game, look at Rempe he impacts the game more in the 5 to 10 minutes he gets then Krieder, Zib and Panarin do, all of these guys are on the soft side when it comes to hitting, getting hit, going to the boards for pucks, etc, these guys are basically invisible out there they are not impacting the game at all, can Kreider at 230 pounds throw a body check for once? how about Zib? they dont like physicality and its why they have vansihed
When is Kreider, Panarin and Zibanejad going to score in this series.
They probably won’t
Florida is just a better team it would of a sweep without Igor
Thanks for not playing highlights. I couldn't handle it.
It’s over they are too slow, can’t keep the puck , looked tired banged up. Fox and or Lidgreen should sit , put Jones in. 10, 20 & 93 when are they going to show up
Should of escaped with a win yesterday, but as usual shit happens, mika and trouba wtf was that , why wasn't Laffy unit on the ice to start OT , panthers know the way to beat the rangers are to hit them ,and it's showing the panthers got into there heads ,not looking good ,huge game 5 tomorrow and mika has been bad same goes for panerin once again he's M.I.A
I thought Panarin was good. Two assists on two goals. Zib needs to go on a spiritual retreat or something. They can’t win without him.
@@shawnlewin9057 def in need of an Ayahuasca trip.
Why should they have escaped? Florida had a ton of chances,. they should have scored at least 1 more goal
Miller is the softest player I have ever seen

Great podcast! I am a longtime NYR fan.Since JP Parise beat us in OT 2-1 in 75. I have watched, played, coached a lot of hockey up until juniors. The mistakes the Rangers are making are things you teach peewee hockey players. Especially on defense
1) no one gets between you and the net minder in front of the goal
2) If you don't have a outlet pass, don't force it, go high along the glass
3) bust your ass back and great time and space, giving you options
4) Push guys outside on 1v1..then seal the boards off...K'poke is a horrible defender, especially with his skating ability, sad to watch
5) The defensive give aways are reminiscent of Dan Girardi against the kings during the rags cup run,, he was a turn over machine
6) dudes are walking in front from back of the net all night long, for rap arounds and shots...take away the GD lane (what the hell is Phil Housley teaching these guys)
I think they can make adjustments, we will see. Mika/Pan can't play this type of game, unless the bangers bangers and create space for them, no way either can make power move like Laffy, busting the middle. Their was a reason Don Grapes Cherry, got on euro players ALL the time.
Done with the feel good stories of Phil and Blake...put dudes in that can keep with this pace.

The roster is overpopulated with great regular season players who can't get it done in the playoffs.
Outstanding theoretical analysis coach. As you said fundamental hockey. Let’s not jump off the George Washington Bridge yet. Miller and Trouba have been liabilities this series. Lavy has to get more involved matching lines to the Rangers advantage. He said he’s been playing the bench so that leads me to believe he doesn’t realize the missed opportunities of getting the hot line out against Florida’s third and forth lines. Igor’s picture will be hung in every Florida post office after this year is over. Wanted for grand larceny man steals silver cup and brings it to NY
Match ups been a issue 4 sure...they are pro hockey players...I'm confident they can adjust...attention to detail and they will be fine...I love my Rangers!
When you watch the Rangers play like this, you wonder how they won the president trophy??
Probablbly beccause teams did not give a full effort all 82 games of th season.. For example, I though Boston literally had close to 0 chance at winning the cup this year, and they were only 5 points back of the Rangers for example.
Game 4 is a perfect example of why some Rangers fans say they have no heart. Just look at period 2, 3 & OT. Furthermore, there is absolutely no justification for why Wheeler or Cuylle where on the ice on OT, especially Wheeler. Loviolette and company paid Shesterkin back by giving him the gift of Wheeler in OT. A guy who is 37, not a fast skater when healthy, coming off a major knee injury and hasn’t played in months. This is who you choose to put in Game 4 of the ECF in OT? Mind blowing. Then Laviolette contradicts himself by saying he didn’t play Chytil bc he hasn’t played in a while and needs to get up to speed!!! Hello! Does the same not apply to wheeler. If the Rangers lose this series, they deserve it.
Cuyle was one of the few guys hustling all game forechecking and checking so I think maybe lavs rewarded him with that idk
Our core is soft. Panarin, Mika, Kreider, Fox all are trying to avoid hits and coughing up the puck left and right. Never see them take a hit along the boards or hit a Panther. There is a reason why Laffy, Lindgren, Goodrow, Trocheck, and even Rempe look so good. They are willing to take the body, go in the trenches, and fight. If we don’t win, then we need to seriously think about this team’s identity. Igor can carry you so far like Hank did.
I think Mika is missing his club buddies. It is prime season in Ibiza! DJ Z wants to be on the 1s and 2s. 18:44
Let’s hope for a solid effort in game 5! Go Rangers!
This guy has the best broadcast voice ever.
I was sort of expecting us to lose this game... but, like Game 5 with Carolina (where Mika seemed to get banged up) it was THE WAY WE LOST that gets the nerves going. Very, very glaring mistakes that cost us the game and Laviolette basically told us by saying he had no idea what that was.
Ok lets go here. Number 1. The Mika pass. Couple things happening here. First Mika is getting pressured and he sees Wheeler breaking toward him in his peripheral vision. He's watching Cuylle get open underneath and try to screen Bobo. My best guess is that he tries to quickly push that pass to Wheeler expecting that he will turn and fire it quickly towards the net with Cuylle screening and potentially getting a tip-in. Blake Wheeler has a really hard shot and is pretty trigger happy; he likes to shoot from longer distance and if he had caught up to that pass that's probably what he would have done. At the same time, D guys are making a change, perhaps a little too slowly, because they turned to see Zib holding the puck with some open ice in front of him and are expecting to have enough time to conduct a change safely. Mika's best play is to get this down low, just rim it around so Cuylle can pick it up and work the puck around.
Mika actually might have gotten this through too, but here's what I think is being missed: after watching it a few times, I don't think he got all of the puck. He wanted to pass it hard to Wheeler, I think, and it was a bit of a dribbler, definitely not a fastball.
I want to mention something fundamental here. A lot of these guys on our team like to "head fake" or do "no look" passes. I don't think Mika had his eyes in the right spot and it might have caused this miss. He starts to skate back at the moment the Panthers stick hits the puck which makes me think he only looked over after he made that pass - it made him a step slow getting back to defend his own turnover, as a result.
So you can see here how a bunch of shit happening at the same time and NOBODY being in sync causes these things and how it cost us.
Okay to the PP and GWG. Trouba is trying to violate a rule of PK and "get away with one" so to speak by finishing that check. What's almost funny is that if all he had done was pressure, he could have gotten back set in time to stop that pass low. It was his decision to FINISH the check that put us in the shit, Lindgren is stuck alone, tries to block the shot as he is going down and his stick ALMOST hits it but no. Perfect bar-down by Reinhart and Game Over Rangers.
By the way Jon speaking of the issues with Shesty and the "extra" that the Cats are doing, at the end of the 2nd period as time expired, Tkachuk for NO REASON whatsoever skates through Shesty's blue paint and makes contact with him, falling over like Shesty rolled him. No call nothing. Shesty screaming at the ref.
I am going to post another comment with thoughts about Laviolette and the line up as well as Game 5 adjustments.
I'm hoping this is our game 5 of the Carolina series and we put together a win tomorrow. Tomorrow is must win
They played their best period of the series in the first then sucked the rest of the way.
I feel so bad for Igor. He is always saving this team!
Cant watch another year of Miller and Trouba on defense. At no time should a Panther player be standing anywhere near the crease without getting leveled. One more year on Trouba contract, then good riddance. Trade Miller for a true defender with toughness, Manson or Petrangelo. Bring up Matthew Robertson. Tired of the same old story year after year.
Sorry to break it to you, but Captain Jake has two years left on the contract
Igor needs to be yelling at his teammates, not the officials
No Mika and Kreider performing, no cup. If they dont wake up quickly, time to break this team up.
I've seen this on Twitter a lot. Our top players all have no trade clauses and contracts nobody else wants - how would Drury break this team up even if it made sense to do so?
When you watch the Rangers play like this, you wonder how they won the president trophy??
Well, they're not getting blown out in any of these games. They've been right there in each loss. And they don't play every game in the regular season against teams as good as the Florida Panthers. And they get many more days off during the regular season.
Great analysis Jon. We've been outplayed in last 3 games, but we have the better goaltender. Top line must get going.
Once again, the New York Rangers can’t clear their own zone!
Cool new into animation Jon (it *is* new, right?) Also, this was basically a straight up outstanding game by Shesty and the rest of the team minus Troch and Laffy were just absolutely absent. If Mika, CK, and Bread don't show up on the score sheet, we're done. We have already pulled all the rabbits out of the hat and we need to win the game on the ice in game 5 - no more "stealing" a game where we get outplayed.
I think Panarin and Fox were good. I’m really worried abt Mika going forward. Is he done being an elite player?
