Series Talk: ECQF: New York Rangers vs Washington Capitals (NYR Lead 3-0)

[syz]

Congrats Caps on getting those extra 2 home games.

This would probably be the funniest upset in history though so here's hoping.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Caps are incredibly heavy underdogs. They probably lose the series. But I don’t f***ing care because this team was supposed to suck and they played their asses off all year. And maybe that will translate to playoff hockey.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Rangers in 5.

Never forget.

As a wings fan, congrats to the capitals but seriously.

Torts pulling the goalie with 3 mins left in a TIE game and basically GIVING you guys the game. I understand the flyers had to win in regulation but I mean come on. I’ll move on but it’s just so wrong how everything played out.

A month or so back the coyotes had lost 1 million games in a row until the caps lost to them. Shall we review the red wings moments of greatness that made torts call possible.

a childhood classic for me and many other NYR/WSH fans

I hope they both destroy eachother. Wont be watching a single game of this crappy series though.

 

[Reality Check]

The Wings only have themselves to blame.

Exactly.

But they also owe Tortorella a bouquet of flowers for that gift tonight.

Washington probably wins a game. But I can't see more than that.

NY in 5.

You know what gave us the win? Beating your team two times down the stretch.

Full credit to the Capitals for getting here. They looked COOKED early in the season. But I don't see any kind of Cinderella run. Sweeps are hard, and I refuse to pick them, but Rangers in 5.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Pens or wings would’ve made this a much more interesting series than the caps can.

I think the Wings are a much better matchup for the Rangers than the Caps.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Caps are playing with house money.

Pretty hilarious that this is happening.

The thing about the Capitals is, they play Hunter hockey. It's ugly. Real ugly.

-But-

They can hold a lead.

And yeah that's pretty much the only thing they got going for them.

 

[winnipegger]

There will be some weird energy around this series and I think the rangers blow it. They probably win the first game 7 - 1 then lose 4 straight 1 goal games in OT.

Actually it was Tortorella pulling their goalie in a tie game to try and win it in regulation.

If they don’t beat Detroit they don’t make the playoffs even if they beat Philly. So no.

 

[ZYXWVUT]

I think rangers get the brooms out

 

[Reality Check]

If they don’t beat Detroit they don’t make the playoffs even if they beat Philly. So no.

And, despite those wins, they still needed help from Tortorella tonight to get in.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

I'm not high on my Rangers this year despite the P trophy but they're going to bukkake the Caps

Go Caps Go

Go OV Go

Never forget.

I know Gaborik ended this game, but I am still mad at Sergei Fedorov and Jason Chimera. Actually, to be more honest, I'm mad at Wade Redden and Jason Chimera.

Glad those guys are gone.

 

[Devilsfan118]

This may be the easiest sweep in the history of the NHL.

Rangers absolutely kicked out with this matchup.

 

[LionsHeart]

The Caps always playing the Rangers hard. I think the Rangers win (obviously bias), but it’ll be frustratingly close.
