3 Changes the Rangers NEED to Make For Game 2! | Playoff Discussion

[@rangers09891994]

Your take with Igor taking blame is insane.

[@Ddeamorin]

Im a big rempe fan want to see him in the lineup , i just worry people have unrealistic expectations of him being some game changer its alot of pressure to put on a 5 min a game kid.

[@lbranger2]

Igor needs to help his crappy D that can’t move the puck but he’s passing to the opposition half the freaking time.

[@dock_yard1149]

G2 has to have Rags dominating all 3 periods, hitting everything in sight, skating hard, fore & back checking. If they lose G2, they'd be really fortunate to get the series back to MSG for a G5... This is make or break time. A lot of guys need FIRE in their bones Friday night.

[@Chris-qi6ri]

agree, love chytil but we r here without him. rempe mania needs to happen

[@Chris-qi6ri]

no panic ! 3 to 0 panthers really scored 1 soft 1. need to play like we did middle 10 of the 3rd, get shots and traffic and finish. 2 posts, breakaway by a man. we r fine. panthers beat us at our own game and bounces went the other way this time

[@Chris-qi6ri]

some one needs to answer the hit on chytil at end of game. clean hit but it was unnecessary with 3 secs left in game

[@DonPeppinoo]

Schneider needs to step up, miller too with some hits. Someone needs to blast Tkachuk

[@frankt285]

The Trouba Train needs to start accepting passengers again......😮😮😮😮

[@kingzhibrhanfabrizio1759]

If the roles were reversed every Panther would have been looking to fight, not 1 Ranger even did anything and the game was over so cant say you didn't want a penalty, again this team is soft aside from Rempe

[@u.s.m.c.fewproudthemarines2987]

I think the extra rest for this series hurt them it looks like they had nothing

[@Chris-qi6ri]

the game was not as chippy as I thought it would be

[@matthewcerini699]

You guys nailed this. The NYR also need to exit their zone through the middle of the ice. Florida is just waiting on the boards and picking off the puck every time - they need to mix it up and keep Florida guessing. LGR!!!

[@X-7-JAMES]

Bob stopped 2 or 3 breakaway opportunities. Rangers had missed opportunities, and a couple of pucks ring off the goal bars. Rangers could’ve won this game easily. I’m a Panthers fan, but I think the next game will be much closer or the Rangers might win. I think the Rangers will be more physical in game two, but that’s more of the Panthers’ identity and the Rangers don’t want to get into that game with them. The Panthers are relentless hyenas. A lot of people see this series going 7 games. Panthers better not half-step into game two. Oddsmakers have it very close with Panthers -115, Rangers -105. I think this series is the Stanley Cup.

[@user-Chris-n3n]

You’re delusional if you think the Rangers had a chance in that game. The Panthers hit a couple posts as well.

[@Jadani-vp1lj]

NYR need to change strategy to disruot FLA's swarming formation. 1- use more stretch passes and lobs, to use their speed to chase puck, 2- more body-checking to take FLAs players out of position and open up the ice. FLA lacks speed. They want to play a half-court game. NYR can get pucks behind their defence to create odd man rushes and speed. Have 1 man posted out at centre ice while FLA is trying to pin NYR in own zone, then lob it out to the high man to counter attack

[@scottrobertson307]

It’s only one sucky game. It was absolutely brutal. It look like a pre season game

[@robyurkanin4232]

How bout Miller getting his pocket picked and led to a break out.

[@dock_yard1149]

Yeah, give Miller / Trouba / Gus a seat and get Z Jones 6 into the lineup. Zac has never embarrassed on D, and he makes excellent pinches into the O zone. Agree, Rempe must play G2. Sit Chytil or Kappo and resort 3L & 4L, they were invisible in G1.

[@DonPeppinoo]

Im get a ranger jersey, but should i get Panarin or Rempe? I think Rempe is here to stay but i will hate to get his jersey and then not play for us.

[@firesiderangers]

bread!

[@DonPeppinoo]

@@firesiderangers Bread is my favorite player on the rangers. I just don't like his number but i could work pass that. Thanks for the input. Keep up the good work on the podcast. LGR!!!

[@martianl5806]

I agree with mostly everything you guys said. But what the hell is going on with kakko. If he added some speed to his game he would be a dangerous player. But damn is he slow as shit and this is coming from someone who likes kakko play style.

[@lemuelmandell7838]

I agree with Chytil and Rempe in lineup . I would pull Vesey or Weinberg . Remember Chitin was Our 2C at beginning of Year . Make Our 3rd line Chytil , Cuylle & Kakko. Our 4th line of Goodrow, Vesey & Rempe. I dont think Weinberg matches up well with panthers . He can't score and doesn't shoot . Rempe will bring the Noise. I do think both goals were soft. The second goal was more on Igor than Laffy . If he didn't roam that puck is cleared or He is in position . Florida is way more physical than Carolina . they shut down the Bruins same way . halfway thru game 6 Bruins had 4 shots on net . Yes Fox is definitely injured , You can see he has no jump in his skate. when Fox was injured , Jones & Schneider played really well together . Gustafson was brutal and Trouba been very poor. Lets Go Rangers !

[@lemuelmandell7838]

Auto Correct Ugh Lol Chytil not Chitlin and Wennberg !

[@lemuelmandell7838]

We have always played well in Sunrise, but must win Game 2 . Btw. we lost Game 1 to Devils at the garden , in 94. This is 7 game series

[@joegladue8863]

Rangers just gotta make couple tweaks simple get pucks on florida goalie and get on Florida's defense

[@jmas12]

As much as I want to agree about Zac Jones (esp with Fox hurt), if he doesn’t move the puck perfectly (which is the hope, and a lot of the puck movement problems has to do with the reach of Florida’s front getting sticks into the passing lanes & protecting the puck along the boards) and takes the body he’s going to get killed by Florida’s forwards. Not that Gustafsson is a big player by any means, but he does have 15lbs on Jones. And I’m not going with Mackey or Ruhwedel over Gustafsson. Best case for Jones is if Fox is seriously injured/impaired and needs to be scratched.

[@Chris-qi6ri]

the dmen cant keep doing these blind passes... led to 3 turnovers

[@joegladue8863]

Rangers top players need to be there top players

[@sharkgrayc7z06corvette9]

With all due respect guys, the Panthers absolutely dominated in game 1. The Rangers need to wake tf up tonight and get their heads out of their asses otherwise they’re toast

[@mastrj3]

I think they need Chytil. Fresh legs and he has a scoring mindset. If you bring in Rempe, take out Vesey as he's been meh lately. They need to put Miller and Schneider back together and Gus Bus has to be replaced by Jones or Ruwhedel. They need a puck moving defenseman.

[@greywolf556]

I'm still not sold on Jack Roslovic. For this series I think Blake Wheeler should be inserted as well, along with Rempe. The Rangers need to match the Panthers intensity on the 50/50's.

[@carolmckee8456]

Halfway through 2nd the Rangers looked tired- or maybe they were as bored as I was. Game one was a snoozer. Agree about replacing Gustafson with Jones & keep Chytil in there. Not so sure about Rempe due to his tendency to accrue penalties. Too many penalties really hurt them in game 1 IMO. Low SOG bc they were down a man defending the whole night. This game was the first time I LOST HOPE by the second period this season. You could see they didn't have it.

[@matthewlinz6336]

Why do you guys think 5 mins of Matt Rempe will help the rangers when their problem was on offense? They need to score, not fight

[@michaelbacchiocchi8111]

All you social media Coach/GM wannabes need to calm down with the player and coach bashing. There was nothing glaringly wrong with anyone’s play or the scheme. Not much needs to change as there were plenty of odd-man rushes and sustained pressure. The Cats style makes it tough to move the puck through the neutral zone so it looks like the players aren’t doing much. What is glaring is that the Panthers were the 2nd most penalized team in the league and didn’t get a single roughing or charging call last night. Let’s see if that continues, and whether we need to match that. In the end it still comes down to putting the biscuit in the basket. It just didn’t happen last night despite having many chances. Stick with the plan and don’t be so catastrophic when the team doesn’t get a W.

[@TheTeflonDon4547]

Zach jones decently sized? Lmaooo

[@ericwillsenFSR]

He a bit small but his skill set is a perfect match. I will admit I got mixed up for a second about the size aspect lol

[@franknardi3230]

Rangers played like shit! They couldn't pass, too many turnovers. This was not the rangers last night.

[@Chris-qi6ri]

laffy goal on own net was him and Igor fault. they need to communicate. igor should of called him off

[@frankt285]

Enough is enough... Let the real Rangers show up and, take game 2.... Jokes over... Let's Go Rangers!!!!!

[@TheLegend21D]

Physicality was not the problem, finishing and adding a gear was. And I am annoyed by Gus, but who runs the power play if Fox gets hurt/more hurt?

[@SamWesting]

I said it before game 1 & I’ll say it again: Lavi needs to dress Rempe & scratch Kaapo. Have to respond to FA’s forechecking & physicality.

[@joegladue8863]

Goodrow vesey rempe

[@felixvasquez1570]

Out preformed the panthers ? I did not see that.

[@user-Chris-n3n]

The Panthers played sloppy that’s what the Rangers fans don’t realize.

[@fdeschapell]

That was not the normal Panthers game. They usually attack more and their Defense is more suffocating.

[@dock_yard1149]

Why why why did they skate Chytil in G1? Was it a symbolic thing, to commit to him he's still a worthy Ranger? No point doing that in a game where Rags HAD to set the tone. Wait to play him (if they must) for a clinching game, but not a G7.

[@edobkin]

You guys are gonna be panicking by the end of the night.

[@Chris-qi6ri]

only blame igor on the laffy play cause they need to communicate, just like in baseball

[@Chris-qi6ri]

dump n chase only works if u get the puck. refs need to call it evenly

[@DonPeppinoo]

stop with the trouba bash. Yeah he hasn't played the best but when he makes that big hit everyone is gonna thank god he was there.

[@michaelmarro1011]

Just a piss poor performance all around I wish people would stop comparing this team to 94 team. There is no comparison in heart, in grit, in leadership Two way way different teams

[@johncummings5350]

Not to be negative.....but it should be time to do damage......one loss in the next game and it's over..... Florida won't drop 4 out of 5 games if they were to win tomorrow. I believe they can bounce back.....but I also believe they MUST WIN

[@nymike8]

Sit Miller...

[@frankt285]

Gus, the bus...

[@Chris-qi6ri]

yea bread couldnt handle the pass, alot of rangers couldnt

[@bp7057]

Its so obvious now Panarin chokes in the playoffs. Yeah i know he had that big OT goal but since he has been here he is MIA in the Playoffs. Kakko needs to go he is absolutely useless. You want loudness at the garden and keep the panthers head on a swivel play Rempe in game 2

[@diegocossio-n5z]

play rempe . go rangers

[@zerokoolTV]

I don't think Rangers are winning this series. Let's be honest. Panthers are more of a complete team right now. If you say Rempe is the savior for the Rangers! Than you're delusional. I'll say Panthers in either 5 or 6. Teams win games not 1 guy. If you dont believe this go ask Lebron James.

[@Noanimals]

Panthers in 4. Rangers will not respond in game 2 for a very simple reason. Florida is a much better team.

[@armandsavoia9394]

Another thing is you've done all the talking and Anthony hasn't been able to say a word just put Grumpy in he brings in the the beefiness of it lets everybody know that the Rangers are there the guys without him in there it was like sleep time and it go night night just didn't make any sense not to have them in there he's got the physicality he's young so he gets you know he gets into a couple of rolls big deal weather trying to punish him

[@EricWilsen]

Panters in 5 games

[@firesiderangers]

who is this

[@EricWilsen]

@@firesiderangers why

[@msniper3907]

Haha no worries no panic rangers still will be champs lol Pathetic 😄

[@jrs1994]

As for the crowd, are the majority of people at MSG real Rangers fans or is it mostly rich people that can afford the tickets and needed something to do? I often wonder about this.
