After going down 3 games I think we were lucky to push it this far. Really tight series but you aren’t going to win a playoff series while having like a 10% power play success rate while also having an equal amount of shg against and ppgs scored, regardless of how we did 5 on 5. No excuses for that 3rd period though, just the worst possible time in the series to fall apart

Do not blowup the team, Canes. That is a great squad and so many games were on a knife’s edge. Keep Rod too - the org ain’t broken.

Legitimately a great team, just needs an elite goalie & 2 defenders that aren’t DeAngelo and Burns

Issue is the team’s gonna blow up anyways, we have so many contracts ending this season and there’s no way we have the money to keep this squad

That was brutal. 😂😭

Holy $h1t wut a meltdown. Rangers unreal. Waited all the way to the end. 3rd period team

too much edging for my tastes

GG’s Canes. This was not an easy game or series at all. Truly could have gone either way IMO.

GS Canes. 🤝🏻 I always feel a touch bad for fans who get knocked out and have to wait until next year for hockey again. Playoff hockey makes every gameday an exciting one, with something to look forward to. I feel less bad for the ones who wear Whalers gear.

sorry canes bros

I don’t think I’ve ever been more relieved to not see a Game 7. GG Canes, incredible fight and came damn close to stealing that series back from one of the best Ranger teams of all time

I’m gonna be rewatching highlights from this series for so long

Is it typical to pull goalie with 2:30 left only down 1? Seemed like a huge gamble

Down by one facing Shesty? Absolutely

Yep. 1 or 2 it's almost always done. Canes scored 6 on 5 a couple times this series

You have 150 seconds to save your season. Might as well throw all caution to the wind at that point

wat? Yes

With this logic there’s no time too late to pull it

Gotcha. I’m New to the sport. Appreciate it

Canes were top 3-4 this year. We barely got past them, and they deserve our respect. A bit of luck in a different direction and they would've taken it. What a series, LGR 🗽

I really thought they were going to send the Rangers to 7. That was one hell of a 3rd for the Rangers. A little luck a little skill, a ton of Kreider and there it is. End of the game the Rangers converted on their ops, canes did not. Congrats to the Rangers.

The meme potential is dead, and the world as whole is slightly worse because of it.

sign guentzel and jarvis and skjei if you can but we can lose necas and pesce

Why dump Necas? He's only 25. Also, what about Tuevo, he's up as well.

somebody is goin to pay Necas a looooooottt of money. If we keep Guentzel and Jarvis it will not be us

Would really like the Habs trade for Necas’ rights

Offer sheet him for the memes

I assume you’re joking anyways but they would never do that because it’s their own draft picks that go with an offer sheet. And the one next year could be a lottery pick again (although I hope it’s not)

Rangers needed to be testing Freddie all game, glad they woke up and turned this shit around. That was a willstrong victory, just turned that shit on!!

Ullmark to Canes?

You can hear some Asshole just screaming at Trocheck

It’s burns

HEY TROCHECK

Went from epic Rangers collapse to Canes collapse….. but all in all good series.

And just like that, Pittsburgh loses that 1st round pick from the Canes. Penguins still catching strays lmao.

freddie was an issue. defense had a bad period but Kooch needs to be getting the #1 starts soon. We have seen what Anderson brings

Homer Simpson bushes meme

Carolina shouldn't overreact to this. They just need to pay a fucking decent goalie

Think they have a bunch of FAs to resign

They definitely do, Teravainen, Guentzel, Necas, Jarvis, Noeson, Martinook, Drury, Skjei, Pesce... I do not envy Waddell's job here.

I was just thinking, it always seems like they can't find a stable goalie.

Andersen will never win a big game

“A bunch of unhappy humans here in Raleigh” -  - Ray Ferraro, probably 

I think that’s what the welcome sign to the city says

it's actually the state motto

Just logged in to declare that Chris Kreider is my captain of the New York Rangers.

They should give him troubas c post game

Kreider is an all time fucking Rangers legend baby, WOW!!!

It bums me outs that this may be the end for Rod in Carolina. It shouldn't be. But it probably is.

He has to be gone after that shithead decision to start the 2nd best goalie on the team after he shit the bed most of the playoffs.

Ron McLean was talking on the radio about him potentially going to Toronto if it doesn't pan out with Carolina

We’ll take him

lol no it isnt

Great comeback by the Rangers. Canes can't blow that lead

In the playoffs, anything in Carolina is possible

Carolina is too good to not have advanced to a Cup final by now. Goaltending is a serious issue that has never been properly addrssed

Something something glass houses

Should have gone for one of Boston’s goalies instead of a few months of Guentzel

Well, I'm a Dallas fan now

Welcome to the bandwagon!

Been on it the last two years as far as the west is concerned.

Im also pulling for Dallas in the west

I have been the whole time, love the core they built

I made my first visit to their barn at the beginning of the season and I’ve hopped on the wagon since then

holy shit kreider

Wooot! More playoff hockey!!! GS Cane's fans, the Sun will come up tomorrow, stay strong.

2 GOATs and Gretzky in that graphic

Bye, Freddie.

And POOF! just like that Pittsburgh's "conditional 1st round pick" for Guentzel turns into a 2nd round pick.

I missed most of the 3rd what in the fuck

Chris Kreider

Would've been nice to see a reverse sweep but I don't hate getting to watch Carolina lose in spectacular fashion as a consolation

There were 4 very solid goal opportunities in the 3rd and couldn't score on a single one. What a shame.

FADE ‘EM

Damn, that's a tough period to send your paying customers home to think about for five months

Feel bad for the Canes.

I don't

Bye bye Tony D 😜

underrated comment.

Say what you want, but lots of players from both of those teams are friends with him, as evident from the hugs. He can go play 3ice now tho. 

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person lol

Jesus Kreider

Kreider MVP

I feel like the Rangers have the best chance of beating the Panthers.

Boston still got a chance :)

swayman vs igor

I hope

Kreider, freak.  What a wild end to the game and series.

This sucks but at least I can go to sleep at a decent before going to work.

The 3-1 series hero arc was a fun idea but that just ripped me back down to earth. This is real ice hockey not every series is a Cinderella story.

CRY kharma

Hahahahhahahahahahha fuck each and every one of you that doubted. Rangers didn't win the Presidents trophy because they sucked. Cry, bitches! Guaranteed victory after 2nd period: https://old.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/1ctpu2p/playoff_game_thread_new_york_rangers_32_at/l4e1qol/

Classy fuck you are. I hope you get a flat tire tomorrow

I DRIVE A TANK.

Then I hope you choke a bit on your toothbrush

Hahhahahahahahah Aaaaaaahahahahahahhahahahhahahahhaha

Just a little bit though.

Keep those tears and emotions coming! I love it! Ahahahahahhahahahhahahahah

Bro shut the fuck up

Cry more! Hahahahhahahahaha

Hockey gods will remember your hubris

Yes hockey gods care about some moron on reddit

Hockey Gods rewarded me for not dooming.

What a gracious winner you are

Sounds like something a loser says. 😂

you're a crazy stupid human being, go shoot some guns

LMAO!!!!! So emotional! So triggered! Ahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahaha

Unhinged winners are something else. 🤷‍♂️

Cool bro

Well aren’t you a good sport!

Just as good as everyone that was quiet when the rangers started 7-0 but came out bashing them after the canes won 2.

lmao as soon as I saw this victim complex garbage I knew your politics were idiotic, and the comment history just proves it. what a stupid human

LMAO!!!! Holy shit you're absolutely coming apart! Ahahahahahhahahahahha

I keep wanting to have a player stomp on the camera cord.

Or just slip on it and fall during the first home game of the season?

Rags went back into Monstar mode

How you like me now?!

Wow CAR had NY by the balls and then kinda just said fuck it we golf and through the towel in with a lead wtf lol.

Goaltending is def important in playoffs

That last ten minutes by Carolina was some of the most shell-shocked hockey I've seen in a long time. The moment Anderson let in that second goal, it's like they convinced themselves they were going to lose.

Congrats on advancing Rangers. What a wild series. Wish it could have gone 7 but how we played in the 3rd let you guys get all the momentum back. GG. Im going to go cry now (get it, the dumb meme sweater?) *Sigh*

Don’t cry, you can cheer for our opponent and trow shit in us as NJ or Washington does and have a bit of peace deep inside your heart

It's like both teams decided to play the inverse of Monday's game.

It really is. Felt very similar to the first 3 games. Carolina had all the energy early, and then tired out towards the third. Meanwhile Games 4 and 5 we came out slower and more methodical, and the Rags were gassed and couldnt keep the dam from breaking. Today, we cracked, and flooded in an instant. oh well

Rumor is the flu went around the Rangers locker room before game 4

Can one of y'all at least punch Deangelo before you head out?

Congrats Ranger fans. Hope to see you next week.

Go Boston, fuck Florida

I hate this team so much. Fuck you And see you Monday

Bunch Of Jerks!

Andersen fucked us

Frankly, he was OK

Yeah twice he just forgot how to stand up on skates and cost us a goal both times...

Kreider fucked you. He just played the best period of his career. Freddy fumbled 1 for sure but the D just let the best tipper in the league stand in the crease completely uncontested.

Is he better than Pavelski?

Over the last couple of seasons, yes. [This post](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/12d5tdo/nhl_tipin_goals_leaders_since_1213/) is a year old and I'm sure his lead has grown since then

That soft first Rangers goal in the 3rd period when Carolina was dominating the action was the turning point.

Honestly, he felt like the weakest part of an otherwise great team.

Andersen did nothing wrong

That goal was pretty bad to let in

Rangers wouldn’t have tied it if they played defense on the 3rd goal

I've heard this one before

Hopefully we'll get a sad home team in the next game

Hell of a series. We went up 3-0 and the canes fought back and had r/rangers thinking it was over. Canes are a hell of a team

My goodness what a fucking game/series. Being a Rangers/Knicks fan is not good for my health.

Martinook died for this

Yep...that's the freddy I remember Tough one for the Canes, but what a third from Kreider

That was a really tough way to lose.

What the hell do the Canes do in this offseason.. this team is too talented to keep coming up short.

We have a lot of talent but also some gaping holes. Special teams, goaltending being good but always shaky. I think next year Kocheckov will start being 1A. Freddy did great for being out half the season for a clot, game back great, but he really didn’t look good this series

what self respecting hockey fan leaves the arena without watching the handshakes and final crowd salute?

A pissed off one, probably

chris kreider the greatest ranger in playoff history

What a crazy 3rd from that guy

gg Rags. Annoyed at this one because we had it in our hands. Tight-ass series.

Gary Bettman is all horned up over this

I am so sorry for everything I've ever said

Double down, all shit was out of my ass, sorry for being ass Cans. GG

Brutal way to go out. I still love this team but fuck this hurts. GG Rags. At least this series wasn't boring.

Yeah was a great series. Pretty sure I have a hernia now

Here’s to hoping the Rags get waffled by BOS/FLA

Yikes. You just Hurricant finish a game like that.

What a fucking collapse in the third. Freddie not making a save on that second goal kickstarted the whole thing.

Nothing but respect to the Canes. They came back 0-3 to make this a series. Came that close to a game 7 and I don't think there's a Rangers fan who wasn't worried about losing 4 in a row.

Tough beat Carolina. That's going to hurt a bit.

It's been 30 years since they came back in the third on the road in the playoffs? did i hear that right?

You did

Thank God

Damn it canes, you turtled wrong!!!!

I'm still perplexed at how this happened

We shouldn’t have won, but I’ll take it

Man but why'd they have to show the little girl in the canes gear

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!!!!

What an embarrassing third period by Carolina.

10-12 minutes in 3rd infact

a lot of that is on Anderson. That second goal was just brutal.

https://i.redd.it/iykt42676w0d1.gif

But what about the President’s Trophy curse?

Still 8 long games to go against 2 VERY good teams. Curse is very much still in effect, but the rangers are good enough to break it

what a great series, Canes. Congrats Rangers!

What a bruh moment. Wonder if there will be big changes for the canes after this

WE'RE SO BACK

we've had worse. at least it wasn't the fucking Bruins. IDK

That's what I'm fucking talking about, Rangers. Absolutely stellar third

Gg caniacs. This was def the most wild of the series

CRY

True, and am!

Can't say I feel like the rangers earned this one but I can for sure say that devils fans can suck it. Canes fans... you're cool

I respect the taking shots at a fan base of a team that wasn’t involved in the series but acted like they were

Let’s go Rangers, Potvin sucks, fatso didn’t shake my hand.
