GDT: ECQF ( Game 1) - New York Rangers (M1) vs Washington Capitals (WC2) / 3pm ET ( ESPN )

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Bruins gave them a free win so they could play Toronto

Flyers, also Flyers. They need to be investigated.

Man the rags are such an unlikeable bunch of grease bags .

We will report your concerns to management

Watching OV on the PP is hilarious. Just absolutely zero effort if there's no a very obvious chance for a shot to come soon.

Why should the Caps players care when their captain shows no effort? He just floats.

 

[Alluckks]

Cool to think what you want, this is a caps team that traded away at the deadline basically signalling they were punting til next year. Everyone knows this. Congratulations on the win, but let's be realistic here

I don't think anyone cares what you traded away?

I don't know what you expect. Big time sore loser post in game one and even just a comment on it gets you all defensive - "we weren't even trying!!! just wait till we try again in like a year or something!!!!"

You're in the main board thread, people are gonna laugh at you for posting stuff like that

 

[Tawnos]

If that's the Rangers best then that's not good going forward when they play harder opponents

It’s absolutely not their best. I thought they looked rusty moving the puck around. They hadn’t played since last Monday. I expect better in game 2.

It isn't the caps best either, just wait till Tommy 2 brain cells gets about 5 more slashes at Igor's back and throws about 4 more punches from behind a ref lmao

Your salty tears sustain me.

 

[Alluckks]

When is Tommy boy gonna flex for us? Do you guys think he took off his jersey and flexed in the locker room after getting tossed?

 

[Terrier]

I bet on the Rangers winning in regulation at -165, that was EASY money.

No, realistic is that you take what the opponent gives you. Rangers proven they can do that plenty this year.

 

[Captain Lindy]

He did put a lot of effort into crying to the refs all game.

 

[GG96]

I think the Caps win this series if they start counting the times Tommy Boy ducks behind the ref and starts throwing punches as goals

good thing then that’s not their best, pretty much just what was needed to win

As I mentioned in the previous thread, would’ve been a better series had the Wings made it.
Washington is old and slow.

Simply not going to win with two over your veteran leaders performing a no show in the playoffs.

Capitals have a chance of getting swept if it continues.

-1.5 is the play from now on at plus money. Caps looked like they had vacations booked to the Bahamas that got interrupted by an unexpected playoff berth

Replace x with twitter normally

Wings or Pens would have put up the best fight. Caps have one of the worst rosters in the league. Wings are deeper and have more offensive talent. The Pens have Crosby who can go off and win a game.

This Caps roster looks like a lottery team. It doesn't look much better than Chicago or Anaheim.

Yep, I said the same thing with the previous playoff matchup thread and got scorned for it. While I am a wings fan, the caps are too old and slow.

I said they would get Molly Whopped and they did. It wasn’t even the rangers best effort either.

Have fun fans

Dylan Mclrath in the playoffs!!!

Who’s a bust now you haterz.

Where? They were like -270 moneyline

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Are people actually complaining that the Rangers didn't win by more?

 

[Gardner McKay]

We lost 2 of our top 4 D … then Iorio went down early this game

Rangers had a huge advantage entering today but asking Carlson to play close to 40 mins isn’t ideal

That's wasn't helping you, FYI.
