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

[Neil Racki]

They really have no business being in the playoffs...

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

Dagger time.

 

[TMLegend]

Goodnight caps

 

[The Tourist]

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.

 

[Borsig]

Lindgren just isn't very good.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Maybe it's the penjamin but that breakaway lasted like 5 whole seconds why was it so slow

 

[Summer Rose]

Well, that's the last nail in the coffin for this game most likely.

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

 

[Bounces R Way]

Game has gone pretty much as expected. All that's left is some light gooning.

 

[TMLegend]

Higher seed will win every game 1 in the east.

 

[Borsig]

I mean yeah but the caps really just don't belong in the playoffs. Penguins flyers or wings would have given more of a fight.

misspelled Tom Wilson

 

[Kranix]

Just seems like warshington is outclassed top to bottom, but you never know in the playoffs. Could bounce back and tie the series

 

[BMOK33]

Higher seed will win every game 1 in the east.

I am not sure if thats happened in forever

 

[BB79]

Is it possible for the Rangers to win in 3? Might be better for everyone

 

[dreadpirateroberts]

I mean the Caps are like the oldest team in the playoffs and came in with the worst goal differential so this shouldn’t be a surprise

 

[Ace]

At least we get to appreciate watching Ovi’s last ever playoff series. If only we’d have known to do so with Crosby two years ago

 

[BMOK33]

You have to wonder if this series likely being too easy might hurt them vs Carolina in the next round

 

[hockey4sale]

Ovie is totally irrelevant, Caps have zero top line talent, just bunch of average kids, goalie is not stealing anything, and Caps afraid to play physical, Rangers look totally sleepy, but caps are so talentless Rangers can sweep this series without waking up

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Schneider should get an extra two for high sticking...

 

[iamitter]

wilson with a baseball whack at shesterkin's back, classy

 

[Baby Punisher]

Wilson should be suspended for that hit with the stick

 

[Score8]

Nice tribal tat. Real professional looking.

Thanks pumpkin!

 

[iamitter]

honestly, rangers have looked really meh this game, but I guess that's enough for this game? hope they wake up next

 

[5cotland]

LOL Wilson taking liberties with trying to trow punches to Schnieder when he was being held by the ref. What a bitch.
