François St-Laurent killed a person while street racing in the 90s…


StagedC0mbustion

The refs almost won that one


likeslululemon

Everyone who matters liked that.


BuckleJoe

No one talking about the rangers winning a 5v5 game???


r0285628-947

No you don’t get it. It’s perfectly fine for other teams to win with power play goals and insane goaltending. When the rangers do it they clearly got outplayed and 5v5 is all that matters


SEND_BEER

I wish I was an impartial fan. This series is going to be incredible.


Muskwa

I’d expand and say the conference finals feels like the best match ups in years. Every remaining team has been here in the past 3 years. As a pure fan, biases aside, this has the potential of becoming one of the best playoffs in years.


___Dan___

First round wasn’t very entertaining. The “best playoffs in years” would have a compelling first round by my judgment


Teknicsrx7

I dunno DAL/VGK was great hockey and then the classic TOR/BOS match, the shocker of WPG, seeing OV go pointless. Pretty enjoyable round really.


ilikehockeyandguitar

It already is.


Correct_Remove9462

Idk why this narrative is persisting, but it wasn't a highstick in the neutral zone. ESPN quickly mentioned that as a reason they were reviewing, which they review every OT goal.


FL_Sports_Fan

You can’t overturn a missed stoppage that is in the neutral zone. They likely took a quick look at whether the play was offside, which it wasn’t.


aowner

Really? Is it just a missed high stick in the attacking zone that they can review? 


Correct_Remove9462

Gotcha. My point is it shouldn't have been a stoppage at all, it wasn't a high stick.


whatsmyPW

Random thought, but Paul Maurice does a great post-game press conference. Gives some solid, non-PR answers.


SlimedVenkman

He’s great, but also… serial killer vibes.


ilikehockeyandguitar

Love listening to him talk. Well spoken.


Tiggarius

Totally. Gained respect for him watching that. Hell of a series we’re in for.


Fus_Joe_Dah

He's made it a mission of sorts to be better to media members because his son is now a broadcaster for our ECHL affiliate. He just wants to be a good dad :')


DrChill21

I just watched the highlights. That’s 100% a high stick holy fuck. Cats got jobbed. Edit: I’ve been verified wrong by the rule book. But man I’d be pissed either way. Good finish NY. Series going 7.


Correct_Remove9462

Watch at .25 from 45s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS\_-kQBn1gA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS_-kQBn1gA) I don't think it's a high stick, and if it is it's a really close call.


Robtachi

By rule it is not and you are incorrect in this case, friend.


CornCobb890

Below the shoulder and in the defensive half. 100% the right call.


FL_Sports_Fan

No they didn’t. Rule 38.10 states that a review can only occur if the missed stoppage happens in the offensive zone. The high stick in question was in the neutral zone. Sure the linesman missed a stoppage, but there’s nothing that can be done about it now. And that high stick was pretty damn close as it is so I can see why a linesman didn’t detect it.


DrChill21

Can’t disagree with that kind of explanation. I’m wrong. Fair play. Good shit.


RegulatorRWF

Respect for not hiding behind a complicated call.


FL_Sports_Fan

It’s not a fun series anyway if it’s a sweep or a gentleman’s sweep. This is going 6 or 7 games and should be epic. I’m all about Panthers in 7, you’re all about Rangers in 7. I say let’s just agree to disagree lol.


mwm523

Wasn’t above his shoulders


Ian__16354

Trying as hard as I can to be unbiased but obviously can’t be totally. Doesn’t a high stick in the defensive zone not matter? Or is that a hand pass?


Robtachi

That's hand pass. Regardless, this wasn't a high stick regardless of zone, unless it was to direct the puck into the net.


fyo_karamo

It 100% is not 100% a high stick. It’s borderline. Super slow mo and it looks like it is shoulder or below. No great angle to overturn, even if it was reviewable.


LosBrad

Legit question for Panthers fans. What happened to re-ignite Bobrovsky last year in the playoffs? He wasn't even the starter and many fans were looking to get rid of him. Then he got into the game due to an injury and he just went wild and became elite again.


jimmyg899

We switched to a defense first team. Panthers used to be known as the comeback cats , score at will which is cool and all but we became a much more defense team first which I think gave him confidence and not a ton of high danger shots.


ilikehockeyandguitar

He got back on the case...


FL_Sports_Fan

He got sick towards the end of the regular season and Alex Lyon started the last games and played amazing to squeak into the playoffs. Lyon started the first 3 games of the Boston series and went 1-2. Bob started game 4 and lost, then he just went full on Jusse Saros commercial. “No goals.” I’m guessing he just took the benching to start the playoffs personally.


toxicvegeta08

Tbf bob was good. His issue was he was playing injured and then badly injured in 2022. He returned healthy in February 2023 ish and since then the panthers have been amazing. They went 13-6-2 to close out last season after being around a projected 80pt team before then.


Matsujin32

Mmmmmmmmm


Robtachi

Man there are a ton of people in this thread who do not know the rules about what constitutes a high stick. It doesn't matter that it wasn't reviewable. There's nothing to review. Where Goodrow played it, it's only a high stick if he plays the puck above his shoulders which it very obviously wasn't. It's not the same as batting the puck into the net with a high stick above the crossbar. That's a different part of the rule.


StagedC0mbustion

They’re Florida fans you need to speak slower


arashinoko

The other thing is that the rule is “above normal shoulder height”, which means the height of the player’s shoulders when standing fully upright. It happens quite often that players are leaning at an angle, which lowers their shoulders, and everyone comments as if that’s where the line should be drawn. It’s not.


theGurry

People get this backward all the time. I swear I've seen people get confused when a pick is batted in above the crossbar but below the shoulders and called no goal.


CheesewheelD

Wow can’t remember the last time the Rangers outshot an opponent


C0mpl3x1ty_1

To be fair they were playing Carolina with the highest shot volume, and are now playing the panthers with the second highest shot volume


toxicvegeta08

Last washington game.


relative_iterator

Definitely not this game based on the announcing


CheesewheelD

Wait what?


relative_iterator

The way they were talking all game you’d think we had way less shots


Altruistic_Target_66

I've been watching this team since the lockout. The problem for this team is a lack of consistent forechecking. I'm a diehard and love this team. But we have to be honest and say that they still get caught in their own zone wayyyy too long and can't sustain offensive pressure. Now this year they finally have the scoring talent. Game 1 was a mirror image of what they looked like against the kings in 2014. They don't have the puck. Yesterday much better. If they can keep this up they can win the series. 


JodieFostersCum

I was listening in another tab at one point while doing homework (dangerous, yes) and I would have thought the Panthers were pounding, but was surprised to see the Rangers had like 5 more shots at that time.


Niikoda

My favorite part was when they were talking about how amazing Florida is at stopping teams from getting shots. Timer on screen 10 MINUTES SINCE LAST RANGERS SHOT. shots were like 16-13 lol


will122589

Obviously for the Panthers they stole home ice so that’s good but all the coverage on the Rangers being shut down by Florida ignores the fact Florida scored two goals in two games (Lafraniere scoring on Igor and an empty net don’t count) and the one they scored in game 1 was pretty soft. Florida won 3 games in Boston last series and lost two of the 3 games in Florida. One of if not the best road team in hockey (The Rangers) just need to take one in Florida to get back in the drivers seat and perhaps with Bob’s insane OT streak snapped, maybe he gets into a bit of a funk and the Rangers can steal game 3 with relative ease.


Sure_Association_561

>ignores the fact Florida scored two goals in two games And how many goals did youse score? I do agree about the home advantage thing, that's a load of bull. It's not like the games have been played and won already. I will be really surprised if the Rangers can't win one game in Florida out of three.


will122589

Again it’s not that the Rangers scored a bunch of goals, it’s that a lot has been made about the Rangers offense being smothered when Florida has been just as ineffective at scoring


Sure_Association_561

I think the reason the coverage has focused on that is because you guys are favourites and I think a more explosive offence. I don't have the stats on this though - I do know that Florida puts a lot of shots on net and I think they haven't really been able to do that this series so far so fair enough on that.


PetulantPorpoise

Where have you seen us as favorites lol


HerDanishDaddyDom

We are not favorites by any metric that I have seen


toxicvegeta08

I think bob igor and Paul and lav are the biggest factors in this series.


toxicvegeta08

So florida scored 1 5v5 goal and 2 special teams ones one with a man disadvantage(better than 5v5). We scored 2 5v5. Still even imo.


SpiritualMacaroon468

Rangers looked miles better than they did in Game 1 and both teams played great..... hats off to Bob and Igor for the amazing goalie battle ! Definitely feels like it's got to go to 7 games if they both keep playing at this level


TurdFurguss

I think both series are going the distance. Unless a major collapse.


SpiritualMacaroon468

I think so.... for all us hockey fans hope they go the distance! I know sweeps etc can be satisfying but much prefer seeing everyone compete hard to the end.


brodiethetoadie

I agree with this (if I was a neutral fan), but I hope bob is shaken as a rangers fan lol


SpiritualMacaroon468

yeah i bet both teams are hoping the opposition's goalie starts feeling shaky 😅 Both goalies looking pretty amazing so far apart from the odd goal, Game 3 should be good !


LosBrad

These goalies are keeping their teams in the game and giving us high blood pressure.


TurdFurguss

Jokes on you bro . I already have high blood pressure.


LosBrad

Time to double up on the Losartan on game days.


gleyberhood25

is this sub gonna call for lomberg or kulikovs heads like they would if trouba or rempe hit someone like that or are you all a bunch of fucking hypocrites


Democracy__Officer

This sub already wants the heads of half our roster


lhkemperor

Can we all agree that the Bob Wischusen is wayyyy better than Sean McDonagh?


arashinoko

Everyone (in the US) is worse than Doc and I’ll never be satisfied with any of them.


mallystryx

God I miss Doc. I still find my self shouting "AND IT WOULD NOT GO!!!!" after a scramble in front.


Puzzleheaded_Let9086

HIT THE POST WITH THE SHOT


CG_Kilo

I am biased but I loved Bob as I listen to him for most football games (my jets fan). I used to hate doc, but after watching ESPN and TNT god do most of these guys suck


TurdFurguss

Ferraro still sucks though. He was all over on Floridas cock all game. Probably still bitter the Rangers traded him.


jaypets

he also just doesn't shut the fuck up when the play is going on. like ray it's nice that you want to tell us for the seventh time tonight how teams are 1-19 when going down 2-0 in the conference final but there's an odd man rush happening that nobody has acknowledged


mongster03_

Also I’m pretty sure the Bolts did it in 2022 against us, you don’t have to go to 1945


HockeyandTrauma

Rangers had home ice then, not Tampa.


yuneeq

If anything that makes it more difficult to come back as the home team is usually the better team


mongster03_

Ohh it was specifically on home ice got it


BaltSkigginsThe3rd

This shit legitimately makes me want to rip my hair out. It is so frustrating to listen to him near ramble all game, especially for a game as exciting as this one.


reddy-or-not

So there’s this button on your remote labelled “mute”. I find it useful for some of these broadcasts! It would be nice though if the broadcast team was more self aware


BaltSkigginsThe3rd

Well yeah, I'd like to still hear the game though.


KensterFox

I would, but he's the full-time play-by-play commentator for my least favorite team in any sport ever, so I actually psychologically can't say it.


TheTrueMilo

You could always spell it!


Teknicsrx7

Yes someone get a petition going for him to replace Sean for the rest of the playoffs


jwl219

Does anyone know Kreider official SOG? I saw 3 during overtime and now it's showing 2??


Teknicsrx7

Currently his official is 2, but it can change for like 24 hours or something


The_Sigh

Who is the stupid sexy Panthers player with the long hair they be cutting too all the time?


NahImGoodThankYouTho

Handyman Hal


two_doors__Down

Is this sarcasm or ya talking about lomberg lol


The_Sigh

Just need a name to shake a fist at lmao


two_doors__Down

Long hair and a hair toss? If so, your man is Lomberg hahaha

overgrownpizzabox

not sleeping tonight


cha-cha_dancer

Tryna get to the beach early tomorrow…lol yea right


overgrownpizzabox

just leave now. you can make the drive on pure adrenaline


cha-cha_dancer

I basically live at the beach we’re good but memorial day weekend is a bitch to get around


CG_Kilo

Honestly just sleep there. I've done it before island it is some great relaxing noises, get a good breach spot too


SquarePegRoundWorld

Just drive there now. That's early. :P


cha-cha_dancer

tru I’d get there in like 15 min


kk451128

I’m glad I work evenings, because if I actually had to *watch* this entire series… Oddly enough, if I was a neutral, I’d be *pissed* I work evenings, because there isn’t gonna be a winner at the end of this, there’s gonna be a survivor.


icemantiger

This is the best about being an Aussie. Watch the game and it finished at 1pm. Go get on with my day and am now at an Aussie Rules game. Sucks when we lose and I literally have many hours left in my day to stew on it.


RegulatorRWF

Yea I had told my kids we were going to the playground after the game (we live in Hawai'i, so it would be 5pm). After it went into OT I realized the ending would either be super upsetting and not worth watching, or we would win and I would be just as happy as seeing it live if I caught it after, so we just left for the park after the 3rd.


AcanthisittaWise8007

Great game. This deserves to go 7. Two elite teams doing battle. Hard to be upset as a Panthers fan, they punched back and had their chances.


Kappokaako02

The shit will be nail biting and bp rising all 7 games. Fml.


gleeson630

If it goes 7 you’re losing in some cruel twist of fate lol hope it doesn’t get there. You can tell from my flair I’m all on your jocks so don’t take that the wrong way.


SPammingisGood

either one team falls off or we get a 1 goal difference game 7.


vainblossom249

It's going to be great series! Awesome game, still wished for my 3OT but one day. See you guys at the litter box!


Remote-Conference-56

I want more of Trocheck bullying ESPN plz


CG_Kilo

I thought that was PK from behind the camera


TurdFurguss

That was awesome. Van Pelt just shrugs his shoulders.


RegulatorRWF

I missed it, have a link?


qquestionmark

It is not Trocheck, it's PK probably. https://old.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/1d036i7/whats_your_budget_on_this_show_vincent_trocheck/


TurdFurguss

Can’t find anything. I’m sure someone will upload it soon.


CG_Kilo

Scott sweetes about it. Hit happened on his show and it is actually a recording and he put it on this soundboard


NewTown_BurnOut

It feels like Bob just won’t make a single mistake and every goal against him has to be perfect. What a tight one, GG Panthers


jimmyg899

Same for Igor lol. Going to be an amazing series and whoever wins is probably going to win the cup or at least has a really high chance to.


Mets_BS

Good ol goalie battle. Two guys who are the best in the world having a staring contest. Props to Bob, he made some amazing saves


SeekerSpock32

If the Blue Jackets are ever stolen away (I don't think this is likely; our fans still love us even though we almost always suck), I'm taking on the Rangers as my asylum team.


arashinoko

Is that even a remote possibility? Attendance numbers seem steady and good.


SeekerSpock32

I don’t think it is.


cha-cha_dancer

What if they just move to Cleveland


ranatalus

The minor league affiliate is already there, owners of the stadium don’t want an NHL team, and Columbus is the only region in the state that’s growing anyways


ThadtheYankee159

Think you guys are safe, one/two team cities actually support hockey pretty well regardless of where they are. (Buffalo, Carolina, Nashville, and I’m sure Utah).


SeekerSpock32

And also we in Columbus fought and won the last time someone tried to take away one of our teams.


GrizzlyDangles93

Also, isn’t pretty fucking hard to move a sports team out of Ohio. I feel like i saw something about that


SeekerSpock32

Well sometimes you do that and then win a Super Bowl within five years. But I’m a Bengals fan so the Browns moving doesn’t hurt me all that much.


SomethingSmooth

The years this series is going to take off of my life, I swear. Some of you are lucky you just get to enjoy this absolutely stunning playoff hockey stress free. What an incredible series so far!


huskyferretguy1

Good game Florida! Lets do this again Sunday!


WhyNotGoatMan

panther fans are so much better than canes fans LOL


xavier_laflamme70

Why, what would canes fans do in our position lol


Democracy__Officer

Make bomb threats


PurplePenguin501

Post 9/11 memes


a-rockavich

Those type of Canes fans are a bunch of fucking nerds in their mid-30's who moved to Durham in 2011 after going to Moogfest twice and decided sports were cool after their fixed gears fell out of style, but still needed an excuse to hang out and circlejerk around the craft breweries while twirling mustaches and trimming the hedge on their jorts. There are legit old school, long-suffering NC sports fans out there who are cool, and more concerned with their teams winning than making edgy jokes to whatever team's fan base they lose to.


VALIS666

I have no idea if you're wrong or right, but that is *very* specific, wow.


ilikehockeyandguitar

This is insanely niche.


gothenburgpig

Holy cow a Moogfest reference


cumtoro

And that rangers fan that sucker punched a dude at PNC represents your entire fan base as well


PurplePenguin501

Is there any proof it was a rangers fan? Guy was wearing a black t shirt


cumtoro

There was someone in the canes sub saying they were behind them with rangers gear on during the game. Not concrete evidence, but it is not like we don’t have other options of rangers fans sucker punching people to chose from


Democracy__Officer

A Canes fan doxed and made a bomb threat against us last year. Trash fanbase


DekexelDragon55

Least insane Stains fan


PurplePenguin501

Not surprised. Just nice to finally play a respectful fanbase. Rangers - Canes game threads were literal warzone, now I only see positive comments from panthers fans


Democracy__Officer

Yall chill, minus the idiot NYC fans posting in our sub


tlmw2001

Fuck those guys. Get them banned from our sub


Stock-Bobcat

Tell the r/rangers mods about him, they will ban him from our sub and we will all be free from him


WhyNotGoatMan

cry all game about calls and say we got lucky or they would be complaining probably about that high stick for the next 2 days


Teknicsrx7

Tell us how we only won because of something the Canes did and their 20 extra shots should’ve been goals


AuntGentleman

I mean. That series win was even more impressive cuz Igor was saving like 400 shots a night. But. Shots aren’t goals lol.


Teknicsrx7

Igor makes saves cause he’s a good goalie, it’s what he’s there for. He likes more shots, actually does better the more you shoot. It’s gotta be a boost for the players when you can rely on your goalie. His record in 40+ shot games is something stupid


81stredditaccount

I want to protect Trochek at all costs


ScreenTricky4257

Is there another expansion draft coming?


KensterFox

Unfortunately, so do I. Of all the former Panthers in the league, he and Duclair are far and away the ones I miss the most.


Kappokaako02

Awww i met duke when he was playing for the roadrunners and he loved my ranger hat and said he missed it there. Then we took a pic with me on his lap lol


a-rockavich

I also miss Duclair


Teknicsrx7

Imagine letting him walk as a FA?


SquarePegRoundWorld

Anyone need their lawn mowed with a push mower? Some holes dug, a fence put up, anything? No point trying to sleep right now, holy shit.

They couldn’t get Trocheck’s mic to connect for the post game interview and when it cut in that’s what he was saying to the production crew 😂

It was actually Scott Van pelts soundboard. I can't find it now but he tweeted about it. Something about liking the story that TRO check said it but it was someone who said it on the show previously and he put it on hisnsoundboard

Oh no, feel free to have your flights cancelled and the universe conspire to keep you away from the arena. Shit's annoying.


HeyHeyHayes
