Always thought this a fun thought exercise for the team down 2-0.

- Optimist: all I need to do is win my home games and win one away game.
-Pessimist: I need to win four of the next five

Not a Picasso but I will take it. Washington just shot their wad. I thought Lindgren was actually better that Igor. Am I wrong?

 

[DanielBrassard]

Happy that they won, but man the flaws this team has are so apparent in games like this. It should not be this difficult against this capitals team.


Hate to say it but Panarin is proving that he is not a big game player whatsoever. Guy has done nothing outside of his goal. Very disappointing. We really need Chytil back to add some more offensive flare. Might not matter this series but still.

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

2 down, 14 to go.

 

[mike14]

Certainly wasn't an oil painting but the result was alright.
Just win the next one

The playoffs are hard. We found a way to win without having our best game the whole night, and we never got bullied; now bring on a hostile barn.

 

[Siddi]

We looked like absolute dog shit against the worst playoff team of the cap era. f***ing embarrassing. That last minute was a joke. If someone told me it was the Ottawa Senators defending a lead and not the Rangers I'd believe them. Even if we win this series quick we'll get destroyed against the Canes. Not happy in the slightest.

You need to chill. Canes have their own problems with the Fishsticks. They got dominated in game 1 and were down 3-0 in game 2.

 

[DialUp]

Doo Doo game

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Biggest loaf on the ice wasn't Panarin. It was oshie's turd of a carcass on the ice.

Who had bread with the biggest hit of the night on the bingo card.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The good news? I don't think the Caps can play any better and the Rangers didn't Islander that game. Rangers are much better than they showed tonight.

Bad news? They continue to do really stupid things. Game sense has been a problem with this group all year.

Zibanejad and Trocheck are my only stars. Everyone else was just alright or f***ing shit.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

I don’t care let’s take the win

Jets scored already

u are so over the top annoying. i told u earlier. canes were outplayed in game one and needed the pathetic isles to blow a 3 goal lead to win game 2. the caps had like 5 good chances tonight and scored on 3 of them.

 

[Priorae]

14.

 

[Sayba]

Happy new year everyone from the MSG crew

I wasn’t sure if I saw that or not, thanks for confirming

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Glad they pulled it out.

But that's an L or certainly going to OT vs Carolina.

Way too sloppy with the puck.

PP so disjointed and lackadaisical. Zero sense of urgency in the 3rd.

Better tighten up or they will be in for a rude awakening.

 

[Siddi]

14 to go!

Dude, we’ve scored eight goals in TWO games. Lol

 

[UnSandvich]

uglier than Tom Wilson's rap sheet, but a wins a win.

 

[Mike in Houston]

That was more difficult than it needed to be especially at the end. So many chances to clear the zone. Igor keeping it in play instead of getting the whistle. Too many guys stick handling and not just lifting that puck out of there. But they survived.... thankfully.

 

[NYRangers16]

get some real refs for the rest of this series. washingtons game plan was to commit a penalty on literally every shift and dare the refs to make the call and the refs just refused to do so. idk how they missed so many high sticking calls. the guy with the puck is getting wacked in the face and somehow its not seen...

Along with the NHL assigning a Ref to literally do this. Tell me this is more real than wrestling please

 

[Doctyl]

Steve spinning that end as a positive?

 

[Bob Richards]

I'd criticize the Rangers more but that game was such a diarrhea display of officiating that I don't think anyone could get in the groove. What a f***ing mess lmao.

 

[Leonardo87]

I feel that was the Caps best, threw everything at us, while we didn’t play great at all. So that gives me a lot of hope they can end this series sooner rather than later.

Panarin of last playoffs starting to show , not good. Hopefully just one bad game from him.

Valiant effort but still doesn't top Terrorists, Cocaine and Nicola.

 

[mas0764]

I’ll take it but….

I don’t foresee a 2-0 series lead evaporating here, even if the Caps take the next game or two they won’t have the firepower and depth to overcome us, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this series lasts just 5.

But man we have to play way better in future rounds.
