GDT: GM2: Caps vs Rags - after 7pm EST

[Coldplay619]

Give me one win this series boys. All I need.

 

[RandyHolt]

We showed a spine. Really as soft as the league is i was surprised to be honest.

Mind boggling they reviewed the head shot and still called nothing.

 

[Calicaps]

Bummer. Special teams the difference. We were better today. Upward trend!

 

[stephenball]

Listen, the Capitals are obviously way worse than the Rangers, but I’m not seeing this big bad team that’s supposed to be a major cup contender out of the Rags. Relying fully on special teams isn’t going to carry you as far against Carolina who is way more stingy.

 

[Misery74]

Win game 3.

Puzzling f***ing use of Pacioretty. Enough already.

 

[Rompane]

Ovie looked bit clumsy on 6vs5. Only threw puck to the backboards with force

 

[tycoonheart]

Can't be mad. Kids showed up. Lappy was great, Protas has been good in both games. I think CMM was good today, but the kid is playing with two anchors in Oshie and Ovi. He is the only one on that line that seems to have the ability to do something.

Disappointed that our vets have been a no show. Ovi looks like he has nothing left out there. Oshie tries his best but his body is incapable of doing what his mind wants to do. Dowd - where is he?

 

[stephenball]

Also, John Carlson is clearly the best Capital overall at this point, right?

 

[IafrateOvie34]

No matter the outcome, the Rangers aren't showing to be the top team the media clamors over. The Oilers with Skinner in net can beat them easily.

 

[Misery74]

Jimi has to play in every situation. He’s our best skater. It’s not even exceedingly close.

Right? He actually reminds me a lot of Kuzy. The good Kuzy.

 

[Calicaps]

Caps are what we thought, a mostly young team with a bright future getting its first taste of the postseason. Rags are a paper tiger against the real contenders.

 

[CapsJunkie]

does pax have blackmail on coach or something?

 

[pman25]

It’s been very frustrating to watch our guys get taken out on cheap hits and getting absolutely nothing from it

Frederic on Malenstyn, Eyssimont on Jensen, Panarin on Oshie.

Our guys get called for those hits almost always. I don’t know what hits are legal

jimi?

 

[max21]

Sorta frustrating game, the shorty killed us

Been quietly thinking that with the right development he could be a 1c.

He has something. He screwed us at the TDL too.

 

[tycoonheart]

Puck dies on the dude's stick. Every dang time. He is brutal. He is what he is, but Carbs need to shut him down and put in Miro.

 

[Capsman]

OV

jimi?

Hendrix

 

[bacchist]

Plenty of good to build on for Friday. This series is far from over.

 

[Doc McKenna]

Puck seemed to bounce everywhere against the caps tonight. Guys timing was off. Can't play much worse than that, but won't win without a better effort and better position play. Caps can definitely play a lot better than tonight, and ovie needs to pull his head out of his backside. Better luck next game guys.

 

[marcel snapshot]

Youngsters looked a lot more confident and adrenalized (is that a word) about playoff hockey in this one - and Carly, Fever, McIlraith, TVR, and Alexeyev were all solid. Rangers got an embarrassing amount of 3rd world thrown soccer match reffing and still barely eked it out.

 

[stephenball]

Also credit where credit is due, I didn’t think LuJo looked that bad

 

[Doc McKenna]

Bummer. Special teams the difference. We were better today. Upward trend!

Shorthanded goal was the difference. Score instead of being scored on and caps go home splitting in NY
