Pathetic performance at home as you could of least been up 3-1 on them. Now its Devils in 6 and this team is done!

The Rangers needed more Acciari and O'Reilly types.

He's a iffy 4 whose going to want 2 money. No thanks. Can't afford it. Need Matthews.

I been saying that for months now. Folks are hung up on something he’ll never be though.

[Valriera]

The only good part about this is it’s only 2-2. 
 

I’ll tell you though, I’m sick of our goalies getting outplayed in the playoffs. Sick of it. Shesty last year was soft, and this year he’s been soft on four easy nights. Stop a fucking wrist shot from the circle from a garbage defenseman. Let’s start there. 
 

Tomight was the first game out of three where we were second best, and in those times you need your goalie to help. The devils are getting that help and we are not

I think you may be over-generous.  This looks to be going 6 with the Rangers being swept out over the next two.  Have you seen anything in the last two to make you think this can go 7 let alone come out with the Rangers winning it?

we looked at least as hopeless, if not more, during the first two series of last years playoffs

[mbob]

This series isn’t over, we can even lose the next game and come back for the series. But for me a serious chunk is in the armor in believing this team has a cup run in them. 

[Cr00zng]

This is a shit show that will leave a bitter taste behind. Let’s forget this game and see what they will come up with on Thursday. You’ll might be surprised… have a good night everyone…

[Sharpshooter]

I never thought they were winning the Cup this year because they were never beating Boston anyway. However, I expected at the very least, getting out of the first round and making another deep run. They are two more losses away from one of their most embarrassing playoff exits.

They are also two more wins away from advancing to the next round….

Correct, but they're looking like ass right now.

[-ERIK-]

Sadly I think they’re done but hope to be wrong like I am about most things

Maybe we are wrong but doesn’t this roster and coach realize what another 2-0 series chokejob could result in??? Especially losing to a division rival? I’m going to have massive expectations for them to come out game 5 hungry for a win, and if they look passive again, then fuck’em all.

Yes. Dude, if this lead is blown and they lose this series, it is ten times worse than losing to Tampa Bay last year. It was painful how it happened, but this would be even worse. As I said, it'd be one of the biggest catastrophes in recent memory for this team, and would cause some changes throughout. This team they put together, the big moves they made only to go out out in the first round to an arch rival? Oof.

Rangers win 3-1. Book it. 

Well I was half right. 

[Scott]

Hughes proving to have the balls and wrench twice the size our entire all-star team.  Go fucking figure. 

 

But yeah he's small, if only half our stars played consistently with that much heart and passion  forget about talent.

 

Egg two laid fucking perfectly, we nailed it, couldn't of done better. Bravo bitches, makes me want to puke.

[Sharpshooter]

Or if anybody on this team hit him. At all. Ever.

Need to move Miller and Panarin to make room for Matthews in 2024. That's the goal.

Yes bringing in another playoff choke artist is surely the key to success. 

[Sharpshooter]

lol Also Matthews isn't going anywhere anyway.

Nah we need more soft kids on the third line. That's the ticket.

Anybody seen fatbody this series, the one who plays with an edge on the 3rd line.  Maybe he's too busy worrying about waving the number 1 finger at the devils bench like he did against the kings after he actually scored in the shootout way back when? Reminding everyone who the really # 1 is.

Pointing the number one to the even worse Byfield. lol Some big dick energy there.

This is what I was hoping for at the deadline, not more skill.

 

The Leafs were basically able to put together an incredible asshole/checking line.

Image him doing that to Dawson Mercer and him responding with look at this jackhole I've got more points in less games than he does.

A very frustrating, and uninspiring game to watch tonight.  Igor gets beat by a rather low % chance right after we finally tie it up....I mean how many times have we been through that??

I find it really difficult to believe that this team played this flat in pretty much a "must" game!

 

Ahhh whatever, we just sucked tonight!  Here are the Top 8 nominees for last night's “Ozzy Quote of the GDT”:

On a weird way,. I am glad that may cable went down. Thanks Optimum for having mercy on me in the third period…

Can we ever do things an easier way?  I guess not!! 

We give up basically 3 goals in 2 home playoff games and lose both games???  You're fucking kidding right??

Thursday we get our shit back in gear.  We're too talented to lose to these fucking turds!…and the winning quote for tonight’s GDT goes to Pete @siddious who successfully pinpointed how terrible we were at winning any puck battles last night.
