He's made plenty of big saves in the series with the amount of breakaways and two-on-ones We have given the rags. His biggest thing is he will let in the worst soft goals at the worst time, such as the rags third goal in game 4

Rangers are definitely going to make adjustments with the extra day off. I would love to see us switch Svech with Jarvis and let him be on the third line and get our first line going again

You need great goalie play or elite shot blocking to play that style. Our biggest problem is we forecheck so much, that our defense gets caught flat-footed and gives other teams odd man breaks way too much.

Is there any way Rod can tell the team to play an entire game like this third period... I'm tired of us always having that one period where we just sleepwalk and do nothing

Who is this team and where have they been for most of the playoffs... If we play every game like this third period, We won't lose very often

Agreed with this. The chemistry that Aho and Jarvis have are second to no one on this team. Just foolish to split them up in my opinion. And I think Jarvis' best attribute is his playmaking, which is hard to do when you have two linemates who are not good at shooting...

Sounds like every player on our team unfortunately

Only fitting that we probably get shut out in the series clincher for the rangers...

I didn't say it was. I just know that they are coming, like they have in every other game in the series

If we aren't going to win, at least do the next best thing and hurt a few of the rangers and make it easier for the Panthers next round

Yeah, agreed. We know that Freddie is guaranteed to give up at least two soft goals a game

I think the only surprise was that we actually didn't get swept.

Yep, that ought to do it...

The sad thing is we have all the talent to reverse sweep the rags. The problem is I still don't think we have played one great game in the playoffs yet...

It's pretty depressing how unclutch we are...

I wouldn't be opposed to having Necas be inserted as our 2C (if he is still here next year). He played it in the minors and that would allow us to keep aho and Jarvis on the same line.

Yeah, I think next year will be a semi-rebuild/bridge year until we get nikishkin here. But... If we are able to have those lines you have above next year, I will be thrilled. Edit: I'm fairly certain Staal retires or goes to another team next year

We have never been physical (regular season and playoffs) and always let teams just run a train on us and (usually) injure us. Then we do nothing in return and take it like little bitches

The quicker we move on from our style that doesn't work, the better. Just hurt some Rags in the process is all I ask

I would love nothing more than to cripple the Rags with injuries and let Florida steamroll them in the finals. God help me if the bruins win though... I'd rather both teams get hit by a nuke

While their injuries sucked, those injuries shouldn't be the reason why we get swept... The problem is we have no clue how to score despite having many players who are great goal scorers

Defense hasn't been the issue. Scoring 1 goal every 30 shots has been... There is way more blame on the forwards than the D and G play

I get it, but it is clear as day we will never win a Stanley cup with our current roster+ coaching staff. I'd rather take a chance

As much as the rags have tried to hurt us this series, I would love nothing more for us to take cheap shots at them and hurt Igor, panarin, etc. if we hurt 2 of their best players, game 4 is a win for me even if we lose by 10 goals

As fearful as change is, we need it. I will miss Staal and Rod, but I'd rather take a chance on the unknown than keep repeating the same poo every year
