Might be one of the best game performances as a Ranger ever. They were 13 minutes away from "welp season ends on Saturday" and now they are asking for their next competitor. Definitely onpar with Messier's Game 6 hat trick in terms of stakes

[@VioletDeliriums]

His running of goalies is also legendary. I mean, that's how they got by the Habs. Maybe he will do the same vs. Bobrovski.

[@dylanhealy8126]

@@kaz7690 I forget the exact statistic, but they were saying Messier is like the only other Ranger, possibly player, to have completed a 3rd period hat trick in a playoff game. I’m sure I got that wrong, but Messier did it in 94 is my main point.

An immortal performance in the hearts of Rangers fans!

[@VioletDeliriums]

The most immortal thing he ever did was run goalies. He will be forever known for it. I wonder if he goes after Bobrovsky next round...

[@schindlj]

@@VioletDeliriums Have you noticed that he stopped "running goalies" when the NHL changed the tripping rule that even if you get a piece of the puck first it is still tripping?. It stopped defensemen from last ditch effort dives that leads to trips, and magically he hasn't been talked about running goalies since then. Seems like too much of a coincidence.

[@HarrisonHollers]

Canes played great! That second goal may have swung momentum and crushed the Canes’ confidence.

[@ChucklesMcChuckleson]

Playoffs are just so tough bro. Canes are a good team and I was very scared that they would come back on us. I think the difference was losing to the Devils last year in the way we did. The guys learned from that. Canes will learn from this one.

[@SallowDawn]

Chris Kreider single-handedly prevented us from getting reverse-swept.

[@jfphotography69]

It was a TEAM effort. Chris just happened to be at the right spot at the right time, he said it himself. If the Rangers play like they did the last ten minutes of the game they will be hard to beat.

[@VioletDeliriums]

He also got you by the Habs several years ago by running Carey Price. Maybe he can get you by the Panthers next round by running Bobrovsky. Oh ya, he's a legend all right.

[@SallowDawn]

@@VioletDeliriums He didn't run Price. He was irrefutably tripped.

[@jamesfarrell7465]

On Kreider's first one: the Rangers, while watching Hurricanes film, noticed that their goalie, Anderson, frequently left a small space while covering the left post when moving from right to left. And on that goal you can see Zibanejad deliberately flick the puck right at his skate, and the puck wedging itself into that space, with Kreider knowing it was there to be slammed home. And it worked. Throughout this series when you see closeups of Anderson moving from his right to the left post the blade of his left skate is ON the base of the post BUT his ankle is canted inward, leaving that space.
