  1. Tkachuk had a nice game even without the goal. The feed to Barky in the middle was sick and we score there a majority of the time.

  2. The forecheck is brutal!!! Just stuffed them in their zone!!! I see them just checking them deep and I see just a good check to (no way our guy breaks it up and maintain a positive result) and they just get to the puck and disrupt!!!!

  3. We look so determined. It was total business. We want the cup. Let’s stay healthy. 

  4. one of the best defensive performances i’ve ever seen from this team.

  5. The unbiased mask is fully off at this point. Might as well let MSG cover the series.

  6. The guys look real focused, no bullshit, and the hits were way down so a bit less brutal than last series.

    7 more…7 more.

  7. Does anyone have a video of the Igor pinch?! I missed it. (Also I can’t stop laughing at the Laf tip in)

  8. It was such a good game that the usual Facebook suspects have nothing about Ekblad to complain about.

  9. 1st goal – an inch down and Igor would have got it. Simple shot, nothing special.

    2nd goal – amazing skill from Laffy.

    3rd goal – shit in a bucket.

    I wouldn’t get too comfy

  10. No goonery and we still shut down a very good Rangers team. Hell fuck yeah! There’s a lot less of the “Put in Rempe to hurt somebody” shitheads in the r/hockey thread than I was expecting after the Boston series too. Couldn’t help but chuckle at Bob giving shades of Hasek.

  11. These are the kinds of games that whittle an opponent down. It was the same thing in the last ECF where Carolina became more and more frustrated as the series continued on.

  12. Can’t tell if we were that good or rangers were that bad. We dominated play but if they scored any of their breakaway goals could have been a different game , although we had a lot of changes as well that Igor stoped. I’m excited ?!! Also puck don’t lie baby

  13. Fun fact for everyone: panthers have allowed the second fewest shots on goal/game (after preds who played the infamously low shooting Canucks) while at the same time blocking about 4-5 fewer shots/game than the next lowest shot blocking team the Oilers (who are also puck possession freaks). Speaks volumes to our ability to actually limit opportunities vs giving up shots and getting in the way which 100% takes a toll as the playoffs wear on

  14. Boston definitely would have lost game 1 to the Rangers, because Boston sucks.

  15. That too many men call was absolute bullshit so I’m inclined to say that Laf own goal was some puck don’t lie shit

  16. What a solid game. I hope the boys enjoy that one tonight and get ready to work tomorrow. I’m sure they’ll talk about how they were blown out game 1 of the last series and were able to bounce back. They’ve gotta be ready for a more serious effort from the Rags

  17. Amazing defensive effort. Full 60 minute effort. Well coached. Our PP is garbage, they NEED to fix it by no later than game 3

  18. To crush NY at home in game 1 is a massive statement win. Los Gatos not here to fuck around, the boys are here to win.

  19. I love that both Tkachuk and Bennett scored, the two players Boston fans cry most about.

  20. It was quite annoying to hear announcers ramble about Rangers so much, even though it’s what I expect. They listed like 20 ex goalies for the Rangers and I never heard Beezer mentioned… the One great past player tying both teams together. I feel like MSG the network would talk about the Panthers more than ESPN
