Powe

You had me nodding my head in agreement until I reached Powe

Love the guy but his odds of scoring a goal are like Kreider's odds of playing more than 10 minutes

That's the obligatory guy who never scores getting hot in the playoffs. Last year it was Boyle, but he's hurt.

Ah yes, I like that pick

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

So glad this game will finally be here soon. Felt like such a long wait. I hope it throws off the Caps and helps the Rangers.

 

[trilobyte]

Challenge the Caps at the point, don't let them dance all over the place.
And...stay out of the penalty box.

After that, let the fact that you are a better team carry you to victory.

Go Rangers Go !!!!

 

[The Gloaming]

I'll throw something at the TV tomorrow night if I see them collapsing against Green and Carlson at the points. That's a fast way to get killed.

 

[haveandare]

I love that Nash quote. He's going to come out like a lunatic. Can't wait.

Same. I have a bad feeling that the Rangers are going to get stuck in their zone for long periods of time, especially the 4th line.

 

[Holocene]

Stay out of the box, play good defense and score goals! Is that too obvious?

 

[Trou Trou Train]

Well, here we go boys! Let's get this done. LGR!!!

 

[Glennsoe]

Score at least one more than them and You'll Get a nod of approval from me..

Do that the first 4 games and you'll Get a fistpump from me..

 

[NYRKING30]

Finally! Here we go! Beat da Craps! This is a Crapital team circa 2009-2011, not the 2012 version that we beat. We still have a great chance but I am usually optimistic but not so much this year. I hope I am eating crow in 2 weeks.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

17-1 Caps

Chimera X 7

Powe

You forgot that Semin will put on a Caps jersey and score at least a hat trick. Caps win 20-1.

Well the 2009-2011 Caps were flops in the playoffs. The fact that they beat us means nothing. Even if Staal and Boyle play, there are 6 players from the 2011 team still on the roster. This team's top D-man (at least when Staal is out) and top line center were rookies that year. That team didn't have one player as good as Nash or Stepan. Hell, probably you can add Richards. Del Zotto was in the AHL. Callahan was injured that series. We may lose this series, hell we may lose it badly but this team is out of that team's league.

 

[BBKers]

I wish we could ice a "4th" line of Pyatt - Boyle - Dorsett (with Clowe sliding up into Pyatts spot on the 3rd line) instead of this 4th line. Asham would be the filler for Pyatt and Powe for Boyle.
And that Marc Staal was back and healthy
But injuries are injuries

That would be a nasty team to meet.

LGR

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Don't make me have to commence my voodoo blood rituals, rangers.... Please win.

 

[Machinehead]

I look at this Washington D corps and, I'm sorry, but they should be easy to get chances on.

We made the Flyers defense a few games ago look like we were up against 6 Lindstroms.

That's what I'm afraid of. We seem to struggle to score against teams we should score on easily.

 

[Ryan McDonut]

don't forget out outworking the opponent and skating hard
