You need to get Mika off that line. I don’t know how else it could be said. He is lost. He is absolutely fucking lost. Everytime he touches the ice he is a liability and you cannot trust him right now. Enough. The Bromance is done. 

So frustrating I know. Even more frustrating to know Lavi isn't gunna break em up anyways.

I think the last time Zibanejad looked this bad was the first few games of the Pittsburgh series in 2022. Then he became a huge reason why they won it. They're going to need that kind of turnaround.

Either way, I think it'll be a dirty goal.  Weird deflection.

It was dirty as in shit, finally Mika costs them the game after sucking filthy ass all night and series to date.

Why Zib tried to pass to the middle at the blue line is a question I'd like him to answer.  In OT you get the puck deep and play from there.  Head case.

Thinks it's a Tuesday in February in Columbus; simply and amazingly stupid.

well mika made a "poor" play instead of playing simple and safe but everyone remember you need to have courage in these games and play with small margins in games like this. and florida closed down our top playes good this game... just bite the sour apple and come home to MSG stronger

Yeah, big time. Most people thought this would go 6 or 7, but nobody thought we'd lose another game?

No doubt, but the Rangers need to be better, mich better. They've been bad for three games now, looking exceptionally bad in the process. Not surprised that it's 2-2 necessarily, just how bad they're looking in the process.

We’re tied 2-2 and have played three terrible hockey games. I would like to believe they will snap out of it. They don’t even look tired, they look terrible.


The Rangers have looked like shit for the bulk of this series because Florida is a significantly better team. The best team doesn’t always win, hence why it’s 2-2.

You’re right I hope they forfeit.

 

dumbest things I’ve seen all night and I watched Zib play hockey 

Dumbest thing is not opening your eyes through your rose colored glasses. We’ve been outplayed all series. What games are you watching? They are physically stronger and they’ve worn down our top players. And who said anything about forfeiting…..Good grief

This I don’t buy, we have gifted them so much offense this series not because they’re good. They’re unforced errors, Mika’s dumb pass in overtime included.

The problem with our top 6 is none of them got the memo that Florida's top 6 play fast and physical.  4 of our top 6 just can't keep up.  Instead of making simple plays they continue to try and dipsy doodle, make cross ice cutesy passes and coast around waiting for their opportunities.  None of that shit works. Only Laff and Trochek are keeping up but that is only 2 of 6.

I don't see it that way.  Panthers are a bigger team physically that sells out on the forecheck.  To me, that sellout should be better exploited by the Rangers who are the faster, more skilled team.  Were I coaching (which is a scary thought, ignore it) I'd be working on a way to spring some breakaways to force Florida to spend more effort defending their back end.  But what do I -- a modified couch potato -- know?

The better team won. According to some this coach is some kind of a genius. It doesn't take a genius to know that this so called top line needs to be broken up. Not only are they are not contributing but they're now a liability. Whatever he's waiting for it isn't coming.

Denial is the first stage. You’ll get there if Igor starts to crack literally at all. It’s unsustainable hockey.

Rangers need some changes over the game Benching Panarin is a good place to start 

He had assists on both goals. Understand the anger about the outcome, but this is out of line.
