ECF: New York Rangers [MET1] vs Florida Panthers [ATL1] - Florida wins 4-2

[ComixZone]

The Rangers keep getting lucky.

Yeah, Rangers look tired as hell out there. Gotta bury your chances though if you're the Panthers. If you let good teams like the Rangers hang in there, they end up biting you with guys like Panarin, Zibanejad and Kreider being relatively quiet so far...

Cats have 81% of the high danger chances and 75% of the expected goals. Moneypuck has them at 74.8% on the deserve to win o meter.

They deserve to win this one, no doubt.

This playoffs has been so frustrating in my ways. NY steamrolled their opponents and were primed to do the same against Florida as Florida didn't look all that impressive in their series wins. But they seem to be playing well against NY. By the same token, Dallas manhandled Colorado (who themselves looked great) and Tampa Bay. But they somehow can't dominate Edmonton who hasn't looked that great themselves. Weird.

Florida should be on the verge of a sweep right now. This is friggin insane.

It's like watching Oettinger vs the Flames in 2022.

I'm going to disagree with the comment that Florida didn't look impressive in their wins. Those were two very hard fought series, and the Panthers were definitely the better team in both.

Dallas manhandled Tampa Bay? Is your software broken?

Florida had an infinitely tougher path to this round than NY had.

Awesome. Looking forward to seeing Carter Verhaeghe roof one short side to win game 7 in overtime.

[activeStick]

Wow lots of Rangers fans in that one end! Crazy

[FanIn80]

Look at the 3 rangers all crowded around the ref at the end, crying.

[bluejays]

Florida trips two guys in the final seconds and gets away with both. Pathetic.

Those are some A grade flops by the Rangers at the end trying to draw a penalty. They earn "McDavid" awards from me!

LOL!!!!!!!!! You can't be serious.

The Rangers just seem like a team of destiny.

They get out played every series and then their goalie steals the game and they win it late, or in overtime.

You might be right, but I hate it. It's a team game. A goalie shouldn't decide a series. I'll be bummed if that's the outcome.

[activeStick]

I'll go Zibanejad or Tarasenko

Pretty sure they wouldn't flop on a two on one.
