Ah shit.. he’s trying to pull a NJ Devils move on us.
rj12913240
Wow? I was certain this was coming. No fucking around and letting this kid think he’s the next Akira Schmid. Ruin him.
LB54
Huge hit by Rempe last game has Andersen shaken
Krispyford
Put the game away in the first and move on to game 4.
_TalkingIsHard_
Need our offense to hammer him with shots.
pizza_nightmare
Hmmm I wonder what the reasoning is behind this decision?
LunarFocus
Koch played well all season and specifically played pretty well against us
eurekareelblast22
A real “fool me once” moment. Have to pepper this guy with shots. Our problem last year was letting Schmid settle in (and of course our own settling in).
8teamparlay
Reflexively thinking about last year now lol. generate no offense and when we do shoot it into the goalies chest!
Everything feels different this year though so I say bring it on. Granted it’s been in relief but we’ve peppered this guy in 2022 playoffs too
Accomplished-One7476
shots shots shots shots shots…… everybody
KGX075
Everyone who’s ever watched a hockey game in their life: “unproven backup goalie, pepper him with shots early”
The New York Rangers, probably: “let’s make sure everyone touches the puck once before we shoot!”
bucky02k
Fantastic, the Rangers playoff kryptonite of « start a no-name backup goalie who will all the sudden get hot »
Dig-Duglett
oh boy here we go
JPmoneyman
He’s a good goalie, very big, very aggressive and very athletic. From what I’ve watched of him he’s susceptible to pucks going in under his pads and he doesn’t fight through traffic particularly well. He will also come out of the net way further than Andersson on rush chances. He’s more boom or bust than Andersson, he might give up 3-4 bad goals in a game or he might be absolutely lights out.
TheCrustyIncellious
Hopefully the Rangers can get a little more fucking possession this game and really pepper this guy with shots
Hionhelium87
Difference is this time around I have confidence in the coaching staff’s ability to make adjustments if necessary
CountSpecialist4905
Perfect, Fresh blood and Rangers are thirsty
R4vi0981
This is a side grade imo.
jkman61494
I’m not shocked at all and it’s why Game 2 was so vital. This guy has been a stud all year and Anderson honestly hasn’t played well all playoffs. Your best hope is this guy is rusty tonight.
the_mair
Rod is a really good coach who knows what he’s doing but this feels…a bit reactionary? Freddie has been playing well he didn’t have much of a chance on any of the Rangers’s goals Tuesday. Even Sunday the only goal that felt maybe one the goalie should have was Panarin’s and even that was a really nice shot by him.
GrimRainbows
He’s an absolute wild card. Either he has a shutout or we sink 5 on him
Maleficent-Comfort-2
I don’t.. know what to feel.
AARP_Rocky
They should start shooting at him as soon as they cross the red line
Wesley__Willis
Last year the rangers fell apart vs the devils because they were an entitled team coached by a doofus, not because of a goalie change. This year the professionals are in charge. No one should be scared.
Sjdillon10
Our kryptonite is backup goalies
LilMissLinNim
We all know that all unproven goalies that face the Rangers suddenly become the next Dominic Hasek when they face this team, so I’m worried here. That said, this ain’t the same coaching staff, so I have faith. I’ll content myself with a split of these next two games.
lovefist1
Oh no. I fucking hate backup goalies in the playoffs.
Shiny_Mew76
So uhh, I guess we just hope that we can put 45+ shots on net tonight? I’d argue that we can’t afford to lose this game.
jahauser
Ok top 6, this is the most clear redemption moment you’ll ever get. DO NOT let the oldest coaching trick in the book get to you. To not get in your own head.
boverton24
We got them right where we want them. Run up the goals on this guy, make them put Andersen back in for game 4. A nightmare goalie scenario in the playoffs
Rangbang
Not played a game in almost 4 weeks, they need to throw a ton of pucks to the net and be ready for rebounds.
joeybriggs
This is a coach’s attempt to get the narrative off of his teams back. Lavy does this well. Torts is the master at this (for better or for worse). To me, rangers have to play their game and be able to adjust on the fly every playoff game. This is nothing different.
Oh boy, if we get to him early, things will get bad quick for the rain showers. And If not, no big whoop. Just like games 1 and 2 then. Freddy made plenty of big saves to keep the game level so that will be no different.
Here what the narrative should be – yes the rangers have gone up 2-0 and lost the last 2 years. But guess what else? Carolina went out like a wet noodle last year after winning two favorable series. They lose tonight and that’s the new narrative. Carolina can’t even win a game against a good team. I hope this comes true tonight.
Ch33zw4g0n
This changes nothing except the guy who will be taking the L. Let’s go Rangers.
sir-yoinks-alot
Gotta set the tone!!!!!
blueline7677
This isn’t a Schmid situation. Most of the season it was expected this guy would be their playoff starter.
Key-Tip-7521
Well if Vally told us one thing about this guy is, get shots and bodies to the net. the more shots and bodies to the net gotta be physical against this guy. This is where Kreids or Cuylle, hell even Rempe can come up big here.
Reallyme77
How sweep it is.

lose the game in double OT and sit the goalie next game? freddy must not be 100% i don’t fault him in either loss.
rangerfan089
Gotta light him up early and often tonight.
Pava-Rottie
So the guy that got them there has to take a back seat? Nothing like a little confidence boost from your coach
Pava-Rottie
Who watched the oilers blow a 4-1 lead. It was a thing of beauty
RainbowRoomBlues
Kochetkov hasn’t played in a month. Feel like he’s either giving up 5 or pitching a shutout, with no in between.
-RomeoZulu-
Well thank God he’s not the third stringer or else we’d be in trouble.
misterman776
Remember what happened when he played in game 7? Let’s do that shit again.
Bush561
Idc who’s in net. Not playing a game in almost a month has to pay dividends for us. *please guys do the thing and make the pp big*
Old_Tomorrow5247
Fresh meat, can’t wait.
NathanDrake75
This will be ~~Gallants~~ Laviolette’s main test. He’s made this team one of the best in Ranger’s history, they’re pretty good in 5 v 5 hockey, he’s got Panarin back to his potential, and he made a great decision putting Matt Rempe in the team when he did. The real test is can they adjust their plans to get goals, and can they improve at avoiding turnovers to prevent this all being on Igor.
SalivatingPony
It was a different scenario but we did beat this guy in the game 7 2 Years ago. Raanta got injured midway after we scored 2, but we scored 3 more goals on this guy.
