If your PP can't get zone time and score, your not going too score a lot. Hard to put up 4 or 5 goals if you can't score on the PP

Galant has to make a change as this is not just one or two games now.

The pp strategy is force the one timer to mika and every team expects it

Yea but his other leg went flying in the air too, send them both to the box

LAF, Chytil, Blais should just stay together for the PP2. Stick Nils in the back and I think its a good setup.

Ive mentioned it before. One of the biggest problems we have is that I dont think other teams respect our star players. What I mean by that is, they dont give them any space because of fear of getting beat.

We were fine the last two seasons. I think this whole “keep it simple stupid” approach has been taken too far

Right now the PP seems very predictable. Fox needs to shoot every now and then to pull the defender closer to him. That should then open up the one timer to Zib.

Or go back to last year and have Zib down by the goaline and Panarin high for the onetimer on the same side.

There are options just need to not be predictable.

This should have never changed personally, but I guess without Strome changes had to be made.

The problem for the PP1 is I dont think they trust LAF to be the playmaker/setup man from the right side, which I think is silly. I think hes got more than enough hockey ability to make those passes.

Here we go

See that’s a nice setup

Really good look there on the PP

Rangers only having 10 shots more than half through the game is pathetic

Kreider skating with the puck is cringe worthy.

At least he has the puck, better than 80 percent of the team

This doesn’t work

Georgie keeping them in it since they can’t even get a shot on net

That was a great save by Georgiev

OTT just collapsing on net when the Rangers get in their zone, not giving up any space to the net.

Can we now say this is a game planning/strategy issue

This is the new rangers, when you build a team
With 1.5 scoring lines

That was a great save by Georgiev

Needed it big time. Hope they wake up soon.

Was just going to comment this and give him credit. That was a brutal shift otherwise. Wtf is up with Panarin, he doesn’t look as decisive or as engaged as he usually does.

The whole 1st line gets caught in their zone and stays out way too long

Can't complain about Georgiev today. He's doing what he can.
