Frustrating, dominated in the 3rd, I was concerned about how we would approach that period knowing the Panthers would be all in. Need to shoot more, and what gets you is they see Florida score by getting pucks towards the net, and we score by getting pucks towards the net, but then we try to be perfect. Shaking my head. Also don't remember the last time in a playoff game one team had 6 PP's and the other had 2 PP's, that is a big difference. Not sure about how this one was called. I want to be confident, but considering how Florida dominated the 3rd period, and at some point, we are going to lose an OT game I am not feeling great. Goes without saying, the winner in this OT is huge for the series and puts a ton of pressure on the losing team to have to win game 4. Let's see if we can come out fired up and win another one in OT.
Agreed, you have to earn it for sure, and the Rangers have not, especially in the 3rd. But in the first two periods I thought the play was pretty close. We own whatever happens, but it is very rare to see that big a difference. Go win OT!!
Most importantly it eventually will catch up to them when Panarin, Mika and Kreider really aren’t doing much.
At what point are the Rangers going to realize that THAT is how you win in the playoffs???? Highlight reel goals are amazing, but dirty goals win the Cup.
Is that not what always happens to us in games in the playoffs. Dominate. Then let some defenseman with little offense throw it to the net, a forward who never scores deflects it in. Karma.
