I looked back in the sand and only saw one set of footsteps because Chris Kreider was carrying the Rangers WITH THE HATTY

[@robwest2813]

Amen

[@Striker256]

As a Carolina Hurricanes fan, they had several chances to force game 7 and while it sucks, I will hold my head high and say well done Rangers, which ever team you face in the conference finals, SMOKE 'EM! Thank you Canes for not giving up on the series and I hope they can come back stronger next season.

[@eyesofnight]

Do you think they resign Rod Brind'Amour?

[@neeltheother2342]

Same except I want Rags to be smoked by the Atlantic winner lol

[@Brandon318]

[@scotty5658]

It was a heck of a series. I love that it was 100% focused on hockey. No office drama. Canes are a consistent goalie away from a cup in my opinion.

[@Jamesr18]

Good series man

[@BondandBourne]

I was so sure Carolina was forcing a Game 7 until Chris Kreider turned into a god. He joins Mark Messier and Wayne Gretzky as the only Rangers to score a hat trick in the 3rd period of a playoff game. This is going to be an even more painful offseason for the Hurricanes as they have a lot of free agents pending, not a lot of cap space, and a looming uncertain future.

[@gocharules]

Messier's Hatty was also in the 3rd period Gretzky's was in 2nd period

[@user-kk1dt7wz2g]

The canes have like the 6th most cap space lol

[@goaliecoachmike]

Kreider was the game’s #1 star and in the clutch. But Igor STOLE that series!

[@TheSnapback]

I wouldn't necessarily say "stole" like the Canes deserved to win the series, Rangers still outplayed them the majority of these games. Canes play high volume, but Rangers are more about quality than quantity. That's how they won the first 3 games. They are a resilient group that knows what it takes to win.

[@jqight740]

@@TheSnapbackafter all the disappointments yes. I hope the Knicks can do the same to continue The Garden Party. That is Madison Square Garden in New York City (Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and its suburbs of Long Island and Noethern New Jersey and the northern suburbs of Westchester and Rockland Counties, NY State, and Southwest Connecticut of Fairfield County).

[@thejoulesthief6841]

Fair play to the Canes. They made it a series and I saw flashbacks of the Devils series all over again from last year. Canes need to figure out that goal tending. Andersen is fine in the regular season but an upgrade and they’ll look untouchable.

[@TheLegend21D]

Man the Rangers played 5 periods of terrible hockey in a row, but when they shine they shine BRIGHT. LGR 👏

[@TheSnapback]

The team always does better under pressure. Games 4 and 5 they were too complacent, first 2 periods just didn't battle hard enough. However, when they were down 3-1 at the end of the 2nd, they knew they could come back. Rangers didn't win the presidents trophy because they were the most flashy and aggressive team, they won it because of their no quit mentality. They have a level of resilience no other team really has. Panthers will be a tough matchup though, but I believe they can win.

[@gocharules]

Rangers were not terrible for 5 periods not sure what you are watching. Rangers were better than Canes in the 1st period even though they were down 1-0 Rangers had 4 shots Canes blocked 10 shots. Canes had 10 shots Rangers blocked 4 shots, but Rangers spent a lot more time in Canes zone carried the play couple of blocks were right in front of Anderson to save his bacon, The 1 in 2nd period saving the obvious goal. Rangers were better than Canes 5 on 5 this game period, and Igor was better than Anderson. Quality beat Quantity

[@Kdawg1287]

I’ve said this before series. It was unfair to pit the president trophy winners against the 3rd best team out of 32 in the 2nd round. The format is garbage. Both teams are punished for having a great season. This series had Stanley cup style flow all series long. Two great hockey teams and it’s a shame a team might make changes because they only won 1 round.

[@petercruz8615]

I'm pretty sure I recalled the broadcast saying Rod is in a contract year himself. It's really unfortunate but true that the Canes might be seeing changes despite being a consensus powerhouse amongst most pundits, players, coaches, and fans of the game. Rangers got lucky and turned it on at the right moments to take it in game 6. As a fan I am ecstatic, but I recognize we were outplayed a lot of this series. Great games, Canes.

[@jefflarson1652]

The 3rd best team? 2 points separated 3-7. Every other division had 4 teams above the 3rd place team in the Metro. It looks like the worst division in the NHL to me and the Canes and Rangers played those teams 4 times.

[@WestonNYR]

@@jefflarson1652bro none of that matters in the end the points are what matter and NYR was #1 while Carolina was #3. Rangers didn't struggle with anybody in any other division besides Vegas so tbh all of that "rangers and canes had it easy" is stupid af

Heartbreaking way for season to end for Canes fans. Excited Rangers won, but Canes clearly outplayed them for 2 periods and the beginning of the 3rd. How it wasn't 4-1 or 5-1 Canes early in the 3rd period is amazing. Great season for the Canes, a bitter way to end it. Trouba and Gustafsson still extremely concerning on defense. Rangers got away with separating them tonight, but would consider putting them back together on the 3rd D pair and just limiting their ice time.

[@artie218]

Congrats to the Canes for making this series extremely close after being down 3-0, I’ve said this before that while Trochek has probably been the mvp of the rangers in the playoffs so far , Kreidernus the heart of the team and he needed to show it tonight

It's so rare in hockey that one guy can completely carry his team in moments like this. It happens in other sports, but not hockey.

As a NYR fan old enough to remember the 1994 cup run and championship, I had been really pissed the last few days due to their play. I reverted back to the same hat I was wearing for the first three games and left my Rangers' hat alone. When I saw it was 3-1 going into the third, I really thought that we were going to see a game 7. And game sevens are a massive crap shoot. Now we need to focus on the nest round; I would like to see Florida because I have resided in Florida since leaving NY about five years ago. But I want Boston and Florida to go seven with many OT periods and to beat the hell out of each other first.

Rangers were the better team, they just have a different playstyle than the Canes. The Rangers don't go for quantity, they are very strategic and play a patient game. Canes on the other hand just shoot whenever they have a chance, don't really set up a detailed play. They can shoot 50 shots on goal with 90% of them being softies any goalie can save. Rangers just know what it takes to win, there is a reason they won the presidents trophy and not the Canes.

[@illydeewilliams3045]

I muted the game after the second period but kept it up on my screen. Then Chris Kreider kept scoring goals and I thought "well now I have to keep it muted so the Rangers can win".

[@de-fault_de-fault]

For five straight periods I was asking myself what happened to the Rangers I watched all season, who would find a way to win some of the unlikeliest games. At the start of the third I was getting wistful for all the times during the year when the boys would be down 2 goals with 20 or even 10 minutes to play and I’d be totally confident in their ability to get one and then another. And then Kreider remembered that feeling too and went with it, plus the game winner for good measure. In the 2022 playoffs, when my daughter was 4, she yelled out “I’m assessed (obsessed) with Kreider!” Me too, kid. From the very beginning of his career. Me too.

[@seanragsdale5636]

Now what do you do if you’re the Canes? Feels like they’ve thrown everything and the kitchen sink at trying to get over the hump (whether it’s the Rangers or the ECF) and they still come up short.

[@W34TH3RM4N]

The rangers obviously deserved the win here. They were the (slightly) better team over 7 games, far better on special teams, and I'm not trying to diminish that, but the NHL has a major issue with officiating that's going to hold it back from being on par with other major sports. The refs can't swallow their whistles all night, miss a delay of game penalty, and then call a make up call on a softie that's embellished and they haven't been calling all night. You can say, well, the canes gotta kill it off, they had their chances too, lost the special teams battle, missed calls on both sides, etc. That's all true. But when two teams are this close, pretty much every game could have gone either way, and it's really a game of inches, it can absolutely be the difference maker--and that was the theme of the series. Current officiating in the NHL is far too subjective, and they get it wrong too often for the league to have mainstream appeal (Canada doesn't count 😝). Not saying I have a solution, maybe some of the additional video reviews will help, but it's currently fucked and not worth investing much time and money in a season.

Well, first of all he didnt want it. Secondly the team voted Trouba to be captain, I assume after Kreider declined. Furthermore the effort isnt always there, glad he turned it up to 1000% in the third tho!

Kreider's just a humble guy who doesn't like the spotlight. Trouba is apparently a great leader in the locker room and was ready for that role. Although his play hasn't been the best recently, that's not the only thing that matters when you're captain. The most important thing is that you can fire your team up to win every game, which it seems he has done well.

my dad is always quick to panic when things start looking bad for the rangers (he's 70 and he wants just one more cup before he dies; you know the situation). he just thinks like a lifelong rangers fan - can you really blame him? i, on the other hand, was telling him that i think they're in a better position now that the massive pressure of the 7 game streak was well behind them. admittedly, it wasn't looking good for most of the game but much of the success of this current rangers' iteration is built on decisive opportunism. kreider came up big with some decisive opportunism - THRICE. they were never going to have the run of the ice playing against carolina, as they're just too good to allow that. i'm not surprised at all that it had to end this way.

[@dsc4178]

ah well.

[@10.11.9]

Carolina wear themselves out in third periods by playing the relentless puck pursuit game they employ. And their goaltender is middle-of-the-road at best. I thought Brind'Amour should have played the Russian kid after the OT loss in Game Three.

[@D...M...A...]

The Carolina Hurricanes are an extremely good team... Natural Hat Trick , Krieder ...

[@paulthompson8793]

Andersen letting in that horrible 2nd goal was such a massive momentum swing, rangers absolutely dominated from that point on.

[@brandoncyr4883]

hats off to the Rangers

[@olympiakoshc6217]

As a Rangers fan I must say this Carolina team IS REALLY GOOD! Possibly the best team in the league. But my Rangers found a way and that's all that counts. LGR !!!

[@Justme77400]

They're NOT the best team in the league anymore!! LGR!

[@FAITHandLOGIC]

Thank GOD the Rangers pulled it off. If this team lost a 3-0 series, I would have never forgave them.

[@fubartotale3389]

A bit off topic, but have you ever done a career video on Joe Mullin? Undrafted, 5'9" a point a game for over 1000 games, can you say underrated?

[@TheCrazyCanuck420]

Wow that was a quick post

[@kbend]

Rangers allow 4 goals in 3rd period game 5 to lose, come back and tuck 4 in the 3rd in game 6 to win.

[@Mr.Eeeeeeeee]

What a wild game. Really thought this was destined for the Canes when Martinook saved the goal. They seemed to run out of gas and Rangers turned up the heat. It was such a different game he last 15 minutes of the game. That was a legendary game for Kreider. Just seemed destined to score those goals. Canes gave it all but they just didn’t execute.

[@justinfalzon6854]

I watched the Rangers game until 6 minutes into the 3rd period when I was disgusted and said, "I'm done watching this game'. Krieder scored less than a minute later. I stayed away, I said, 'we scored, Im staying away". WE SCORE AGAIN. I wanted to go back and watch but we just scored two goals, so I commit and go on twitter. KREIDER GETS THE NATURAL HATTY. It was really some Always Sunny shit. Everyone knows everything a fan does impacts the game. I stayed away so we could close it out. EPIC. EPIC. EPIC. Kreider is my horse too.

[@Nelbroth]

Goaltending betrayed the Canes tonight. Fucking brutal way to lose.

[@nazcarcup]

coaching too. Coach can put a better goalie in net. He was there. Nearly won the Canes Game 3.

[@TheSnapback]

Canes also just didn't play well in the 3rd period, most of their shots only came at the end when they were already down. Can't play for 2 periods and become complacent in the 3rd, Rangers did that in game 5 and lost because of it. Just shows how much the 3rd period matters

[@acerock013]

i was eating my hat for the first two periods and i just didn't see it happening for them tonight...but then i remembered when Liverpool got drubbed 3-0 by Barca in Champion's LEague 5 years ago and then came back to win the reverse leg of the tie 4-0 to beat Barca and go on to win the Champion's LEague and it is not secret that Artemi Panarin is the Mohammed Salah of hockey...so do i dare believe?
