Rangers were credited with 2 total high danger chances all night and only 1 5v5. That's unbelievably bad.

The Rangers quit when it got to 5-2. Just quit. Didn't show up for the third period at all. Really ugly game but I guess it's just one game and with an elimination game at home they'll probably get a boost from the refscrowd.

It blows my mind that Gallant demoted Vatrano while Mika was not only the worst player on that line tonight has basically been a ghost the entire series.

Vatrano was definitely the guy who was supposed to be covering the point shooter on at least two of the penguins goals so not necessarily undeserved.

I mean they are playing Florida to an even series. It sucks how they lost tonight but it’s not like Florida has been carrying every game. 2-2 is fair right now.

One went off of him and he got a stick to Friedman's which is why that puck stayed so low and found a hole.

Another...thing I guess I noticed is that Corsi wasn't super lopsided. 52-46. Of those corsi events though the Rangers were only able to turn 22 of them into shots. Fenwick count was a flat 30. Comparatively Pittsburgh were credited with 36 shots for and 45 Fenwick count. Just a weird thing. New York tried to throw rubber at the net, but nothing got through. Really seems like Sullivan and the staff has completely cracked New Yorks system and made their adjustments to the defensive zone and it really showed tonight. Could also be a lotta score effects too.

It's taken many years, but I found the worst Stars fan in existence.

Home game, you're up 2-1 in a playoff series as a wild card team, you paid money to get yourself a ticket and you are screaming the whole game to fire the Stars head coach.

Hell, I don't disagree with the sentiment. But maybe wait til the series is over before you throw a public tantrum, you giant loving baby.

I get being upset about the Capitals performance last night, but on the other hand, they've already won double the number of games I thought they would. And Samsonov looks like the goalie he's been touted to be. Small sample size blah blah blah

This and they were a few inches away from an empty net game winner. poo poo happens in playoff hockey, I can accept this loss. Love that Samsonov is playing lights out finally but I had already mentally prepared myself for him to get traded this offseason. gently caress me we may have another year of the Sammy/Vanacek train ride. If it looks like Samsonov is staying and I’m Vanacek’s agent? I’m demanding a trade. It does neither of them any good to remain on the same team.

I look at it the opposite way. If FL is up 2 or 3 games to none(or even 0-0 in this years context) and you lose this way its one thing. But when you're up in the series and in the game that late and blow it in that fashion its devastating. Theres no excuse or silver lining.

Like if the caps went up 3-1 but then the panthers ripped off the next 3 straight i can even see saying yeah, the better team won. But this sort of game is the one you look at later as the backbreaker.

Like you wonder how the SCF series would have progressed on if the Vegas guy had gotten his shot up higher, and "the save" was never made? Thats not the sort of thing you just shrug off.

We won a cup in 2018. Another cup would be awesome but all I really wanna do is watch Ovi slap dingers and chase down Gretzky’s record till the inevitable “blow it all up rebuild” when Ovi hangs up the skates.

That is nonsense. Having the ability to take a couple games from a very likely cup contender is absolutely better than getting swept

I think you are misunderstanding. Yes it is better but it makes this loss more emotionally devastating from a fan's perspective. The series is already underway and the caps clearly had more of a chance to win than we all thought.
