The general consensus seems to be the better team won. My favorite post: ”Rangers acquired talent. Devils built a team” That was borne out in this series, when the Rangers stars were able to get time and space they won. When they didn’t, they had no other answers. Conversely the Devils were able to find a way even with Nico, Timo and Bratt never really getting going offensively and rallying around a rookie goalie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was clearly agenda-based bias reffing and it was blatantly obvious. That sh!t has gotta stop. May the best teams win, FAIRLY. Next time it happens, and it will, I'd like to see Jack take his frustration out on the other team rather than spend what seemed like an age berating the officials.

The Rangers are all Shesterkin (who AFAIC is damned near faultless in this series) and power play prowess. Everything that they do feeds off those two elements. Shut down their power play to the tune of a -1 rating over five games...well, you see what happens. What the author said about LaFailure and Kakko is so true...Ranger fans act like the Kid Line is some kind of force. They literally did almost NOTHING this series...Chytil had an empty netter, and Kakko scored to make it 5-1 in Game 2...yippy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is on the Rangers attack side 2x so I'm sure it was more nasty on that side with more Rangers fans wanting to sit there. For all 3 games the fans near me weren't bad at all and there weren't any fights but I'm on the Devils attack 2x side. Had a couple of Devils fans near me last night that had way too much to drink but they weren't any trouble cause they were at least happy friendly drunks lol this is also an issue with the 8pm starts with giving people more time to pre-game.

I don't engage with Ranger fans AT ALL if I can help it...especially with trash talking, because you never know how quick-tempered the other person is, and this crap has a way of escalating quickly and often violently. I just root for my team and that's it. We have d!ckheads in our fanbase too, everyone does, but a typical Ranger fan move is what I witnessed in Game 2. To quick recap: a Devils fan decided to call it a night down 4-1, didn't say a word to anyone, some 5' 7"-ish Ranger fan tough guy decided to throw his drink on the guy after he's already 10 feet past him, the guy is obviously ticked and lets the drink-thrower he knows who threw the drink and what a d!ck move that was. The Ranger douche tries to play it off like "Who, me?" but the MANY Devils fans who saw him do it (including me) call him out on it, then a bunch of fellow idiot Ranger fans are ready to back up the guy WHO WAS VERY CLEARLY IN THE WRONG well, because Duuuuuuuh Noo Yawk Ranjuhs. Fortunately it didn't get worse, though Mr. 5' 7" tough guy clearly tried to keep it going (he was making crying gestures at us)...we simply ignored him. Nice that we can outclass those losers on AND off the ice. fvck them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Devils simply executed their game plan and used their speed and simply and completely stifled them. The Rangers did get some pressure after Trouba's hit and actually flirted with making it a game, but the Devils withstood that and were able to tack on not long after. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole Rangers team spent a lot of time at 5v5 looking like they just didn't have any idea how to combat the Devils play. And you have to think it'll get harder for them over the next few seasons as the Devils players start to reach their peak. I wonder how long it'll be before Dolan gets an itchy trigger finger again?

Devil Dan 56 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I have to wonder if shesterkin will let that franchise waste his prime like they did with Lundqvist. He was getting so frustrated at points in this series. Also let’s give it up for Schmid’s insane rebound control. He gobbled up most shots and killed so much Ranger momentum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought it up before but if Schmid (or some other young Devils goalie) can actually battle Shesterkin to a draw during Shesterkin's prime years...the Rangers lose the one advantage that they could truly claim having. Yeah it kind of feels like the Rangers as constituted have already peaked. Edited May 2, 2023 by Colorado Rockies 1976 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only under contract for two more seasons and will be a UFA. Gotta think he's going to need some real assurances that the Rangers are going to put together a real Cup contender if he's to stick around. But still a ways away from that.

Satans Hockey Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) Presale is going on right now for round 2 tickets, looking at the prices now for it and I can't believe they are charging this much for Carolina. I expected it to be cheaper than the first round since its not the rangers but it's the same prices in a lot of areas.

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Rangers fans can't work out if they are coming or going today. "The Devil's got lucky" "Rangers didn't turn up" , "Devils were a better team" they are all over the place with blame , and I love it. Chaos for that franchise is a good thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkirt Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 What a great day !!!! Each time I've stopped working I re-remember that we crushed them last night. As I see it, the Devils speed and counter-attack kept the Rags flat-flooted and worried first about defense, so they could never get sustained offense going. Plus the Devs kept the Rags to the way outside...and seemingly every 50/50 battle was won by the Devs better work effort & desire. I think the Devs could still struggle with a very physical team, but the Rags were blown away by the relentless speed & counters. Gallant could not adjust... two years in a row up 2-0 in a series & lost them both. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Sundstrom Ghost Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Congratulations everyone, what a great night it was, this was like 94 to me or maybe even 87 in terms of feeling. Now let's focus on Carolina, a really different team than the Rangers, but one I also think we are better than, especially with their key injuries. Oh and fvck the Rangers, fvck their fans, fvck the media, fvck Toronto and the entire NHL hub central who wanted and tried their best to help NY win.

Aznjsn Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 My first game 7 in person and boy was that a doozy. I don't think the hit on Meier was as dirty as it looked at first, but what I did have a problem with, was that sh!tsterkin skated over and stood over Meier while he was down, a few feet away. You can be a great goalie, but when you do classless stuff like that, then I have no sympathy for you with these Igor chants raining down like hail. What's done is done, goodbye New York! Our boys did their job now it's time to bring on the light rain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
