Coach is going to get canned if they lose this series. The team has no clue how to break out of their end
- why is Mika not on the right side where he sat all season? - what is the blind pass from either wing across the ice? It gets picked off or is inaccurate almost every time
Awful

It’s very hard to figure the Rangers out. Essentially a veteran team but they play tight at home.
They saw firsthand what works vs the Devils and they got away from that to play EastWest.
Unbelievable.

Disheartening to watch.
I wish I knew what happened to the team that played the first two games.
Much like the regular season, this team is no different in the playoffs. There is no excuse absolutely none for any NHL team to not work hard and play with urgency in the postseason.
And yet we’ve seen it two games in a row. The so called experts are going to kiss Jersey’s ass and this no name goalie but the Rangers are to blame for, almost on cue, deciding to not play a full game. Much like they did throughout the regular season.
I gotta be honest, I may be done with this series. Might be time to find something else to do during game 5. I’m really tired of seeing this year after year. It’s like it’s scripted that they have success and then they need to get to a game 7 for the drama and excitement. This series should have been wrapped up in 5 games at most.

Zero effort tonight. No hitting, lost most puck battles and once again made it pretty easy for their goaltender.
Looks like it may be a long series. If the Rangers play like they did tonight, it won't be.

If the Rangers play like they did tonight, it won't be. This is the team we have seen all season. Lights out one nights, lights off the next. Part of the reason I’ve really come to enjoy watching this Knicks team. They may not hit the broad side of a barn some nights, but the fight and intensity will be there. And more often than not they win that way. This Rangers team mystifies by completely lacking heart some nights. Gallant called it for the shit effort it was after the game.

Devils are no pushovers BUT the Rangers have been nothing short of disappointing these past 2 games. This roster and coach may need the axe if they choke away another 2-0 playoff series lead.

If the Rangers play like they did tonight, it won't be. The most frustrating part of that game was the amount of times the Rangers turned the puck over. Where's Mika? Where's Panarin?

I don’t know what will happen in this series. But let’s say they actually advance. If the Devils, who are hardly a defensive juggernaut, can shut us down for 2 games what would a team like Boston do? I’d love to see us advance, but it’s hard to imagine this team having what it takes to go all the way even if they manage to win this one. Actually when I watch this series that’s what I see, 2 teams that won’t be the last team standing.

Panarin blindly slings the puck cross ice for the intercept. Our coach claims the RW was lazy so they tried it how many times? Why is Mika not at the right circle too blast away?

Honestly at this point I just want them to beat Jersey and due to their weird paralysis when it comes to playing a full 60 minute game of urgency and effort anything beyond winning this first round is a bonus I’m not expecting. I’ve been watching all the series in the first round and any other team would look pretty good against Jersey and their no name goalkeeper

You can't fire all the players.

You can't fire all the players. I'm not sure about Gallant being fired. He may be but then again they may give him another year. Boston set a record with their regular season and they are the odds on favorite. We lose to them in a tightly contested ECF... You fire the coach? Of course that is if we get to the ECF and face the bruins. Back to back 100 point seasons for the Rangers. A deep playoff run his first season and, potentially, a deep run again this season. I think you give him another year. How long did we allow Quinn to stay here with nowhere near the success? Again, I could be totally wrong. I guess we'll find out as the postseason goes on.

You can't fire all the players. The Rangers play in game 4 was inexcusable. And in the post game Gallant burnt the house down. He laid every ounce on the players. I doubt the FO viewed it the same. It’s not that Gallant was wrong, but the timing is questionable at best.

Just when you think it could not get worse. These guys trying to get Gallant fired? If so they are doing a splendid job.

Gallant will be gone and Drury will be on notice if the Rangers season ends vs Jersey.

The Panthers won the Presidents Trophy last season and got hot late so i’m not shocked the Bruins series is ongoing.

I opted out of the 3rd period last night. Only now did I see we got outshot 20-2 down 3-0. That is pathetic.

Pretty sure I won't be watching game 6. Hard to be a fan of this team. Times like these, I wish they'd move the franchise to Topeka or Bismarck.

Well I wasn't going to watch after the debacle Thursday but I changed my mind over the intervening days.
The start wasn't great but something changed with that power play goal late in the 1st and then we looked like we did in the first two games.
Which was wonderful to see us play like that again. I don't know why we didn't the previous three games but this franchise just loves game 7s.
Feel pretty good going into Monday's game but nothing surprises me with this team.

They way the first period started to play out, I thought it was going to be another disappointment, but they seemed to have figured something out. Lets see if they build on it, or regress back on Monday. Bring it on!!!

Lets see if they build on it, or regress back on Monday. Bring it on!!! they looked pathetic when it began. Mika is the #1 weapon and has shoot with Kreider having that knack for deflections. Everybody else is secondary despite their theatrical pass attempts led by Panarin. It’s the law off diminishing returns when you have too many stars. Sometimes the stars line up but you have too feed the best which is Mika imo.
