🔴2023-24 Round 2, East Semi Finals: (M2) Carolina Hurricanes at (M1) New York Rangers (NYR WIN 4-2) 🔵

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Egads!
Rangers with a goal.
Kris Crieder....or is it Chris Krieder....or Kreider Chris.....or Krispy Kieders....

Aaaanyways, the long time NY Ranger and solid vet gets the Blueshirts within one.

If the Canes blow this lead, they may be remembered more for wilting under pressure instead of the talented Comeback Jerks they are.
Rod's crew best not go into a defensive shell...

Canes get away with a delay of game NOT called...they better make that count and come up with the next goal if they wanna see a Game 7

Whichever…a spicy jolt of beef jerky protein was a welcome change from carbs and oil.  Maybe Zibenijad (or however he spelled it) can bring a nice veggie dish to the table to tie this game up.

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Refs didn't call the delay of game...chances are, they were looking to see if the Canes did ANYTHING even remotely penalty worthy...
Carolina provides them with one such occasion.

Jordan Staal called for crosschecking, and while that seems kinda incorrect, it was at the very least, boarding as he shoved Zibby face first into the boards.

PP Rangers regardless....and they are hunting for the equalizer.

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Uh oh, Canes...

Ya done did it now!

Gave up the lead after blowing the doors off NY, and now, going down the stretch in the 3rd, NY with all kinds of momentum.

Kreider once again, figures into that goal.

[SaucyJack]

Here’s a Ranger “tip” - keep that beef jerky coming!

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Rod Brind'Amour probably so fired up....he feels like he should rip that suit off, put on a jersey, skates, and take a few shifts himself!

And with the kind of shape he keeps himself in, he probably still can!  

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

The Krispy Kreider Show!

Gets the go ahead goal...gets the hat trick...may have just sent the Carolina Hurricanes packing!

[SaucyJack]

There is no such thing as too much jerky!

Slim Jim may want to sponsor some of those guys...  

[SaucyJack]

Rangers may not need Zibanejad to come through with the green bean casserole.

Canes, they be sick later when reviewing the tape of all the missed chances since they led 3-1.

Definitely.

And with a number of UFA's on the roster, and even Rod Brind'Amour rumored to be going elsewhere, this may be the last hurrah for the Canes for a good long while...

[SaucyJack]

And yes…a little bit of Cherries Jubilee for the Gotham Guys.

Wow. What an absolutely crazy finish. It's going to be a hell of a long time before Kris Kreider will have to pay for his own dinner in New York.

From 2 & 2/3 games into the chokiness of losing The Big 3-0, to instead winning the series in a blinding flash!

[JR Ewing]

-Carolina's complete lack of urgency in the last 15 minutes of the period was a sight to behold.

-If the Panthers get through, the Rangers should be ready for a completely different type of game. The Canes are the least physical team and the Panthers may play the heaviest game.

Rangers were better in the end. 

There's a good mix of dudes on this team. They are rolling. 

Shesterkin stole a game in games 2 and 3.

They may play in the finals. 

They're good.

C.K sure took over....

That’s probably a big understatement. The Rangers should get a break in that they get rested and the Panthers get a little more banged up. 
This next series is going to be Awesome!
