Pre-Game Talk: caps @ RANGERS 1/9 1:00 PM

[aufheben]

No I don't see either of us in the division race, but I hate the Caps so much that I don't really care. Any day that the Caps lose is a good day for me.

I heard they avoid contact from behind.

 

[Lame Lambert]

I heard they avoid contact from behind.

They also avoid contact to the head

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

This is the only time I root for you guys. Please kick the **** out of these losers.

The only person i'm going to bank on kicking the **** out of those losers is.. our goalie.

AKA, we'll try our best!

Especially Ovechkin's **** should be kicked in...

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

I heard they avoid contact from behind.

And the ref doesn't call it when they hit a player from behind.

Ovechkin needs a hat trick to score 500 goals in 800 games.

Ovechkin needs a hat trick to score 500 goals in 800 games.

Lets hope we don't give the Caps 3+ PPs then

In all seriousness though, lets not give Ovi any goals on his 800th NHL game.

I think we'll be fine. We did great against them last time up until we decided to play flat-footed. If they play 60 minutes, the Rangers should be fine tomorrow. I don't expect a blowout like the last two games between the two teams.

I agree. NYR are really a good team. There is quality depth throughout the lineup. Yeah, we have had a bumpy ride for a while but I think it's all gonna sort itself out. You'll see.

 

[Revel]

Rejuvenated Rangers will wreck Caps.

LGR!

 

[Irishguy42]

Marcus Johansson won't be playing tomorrow. Neither will Sil, IIRC.

Nor Carlson. This'll be interesting.

washington wont have johannson, beagle, carlson and orpik and since its a back to back who knows if holtby will play with sens right after

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Caps are too hot. Not liking our chances.

Caps-Rangers is always tricky.

Again I believe this team is like a mirror sometimes. Caps Rangers is the rivalry of our time here. Guys will step up, as usual vs the Caps. Hank vs. Holtby is the new [insert classic Rangers goalie rivalry here]. (I got it ... he's like a new Brodeur he's still lean though.)

Gotta keep momentum going from that Dallas game.

Holtby will likely play. I can't see him letting up a chance to try and best Lundqvist.

Man the Predators are good

Didn't take long for RyJo. NHL.com has him on the front page with a **** eatin' grin on his face.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Incoming BLOWOUT.

He has a very punchable face but he's so good.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Are the college games later tomorrow worth going to?

 

[Waivers]

This is the kind of game where NYR can be its own worst enemy. Stay the **** out of the box and don't let OV T off, let alone the rest of the studs they will have on the ice for PP time - they have wayyyyy too many weapons on the PP.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

First game in half a century and i'm gonna miss it. Fantastic.

How about a nice 5-0 win just to spite me?

 

[darko]

Rangers win 4-2

 

[Machinehead]

This team is not that good. Braden Holtby and friends.

You beat him, you beat Washington.

 

[InwoodBlueNYC]

This team is not that good. Braden Holtby and friends.

You beat him, you beat Washington.

Caps are 9 points in the lead in the top spot in the conference and lead the league overall by 1. I think they are pretty damn good.
All we need is to beat Holtby once and our King posts a shutout and we take 2 points. Simple, really.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Ovi wants a hat trick to get his 500th goal, in his 800th game, against Lundqvist. This should be fun.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Expect Ovi to go full Game 7 POs on us. RIP Dmem going into the boards
