GDT: Caps at Rangers Game 4 7:30 at MSG

[NoMoreChoking]

If he's not hurt... and playing this sloppy and unfocused...headcase. Loser.

Hes frickin HURT. He hasnt been the same since that hit in game 3.

 

[Maruk moustache]

Holtby could've done better both of the last two games. He will do better. Going to go root for Boudreau now.

 

[Liberati0n*]

A guy who just won a rocket and probably an MVP doesn't play like that because he feels like it

You're right; he plays like that because he feels like he can't do better.

 

[Calicaps]

Well established troll. Don't let it get under your skin.

Good advice. I'm gonna go make dinner and pop open some wine.

 

[Zoidberg Jesus]

Don't worry, coach Hanlon is going to tear the league a new one over the mistake. Even PP distribution from now on. #BelorussianRules #thisisBelarus

Caps' ****** play aside, some consistency would be appreciated.

[IafrateOvie34]

I expect they'll be fine at home, but they need to play a full game, not start out like they did tonight.

 

[blokeyhighlander]

Whatever.

Caps played horrible, and the refs sucked out any momentum we ever had in this game. I feel good with Game 5 being on home ice.

 

[RandyHolt]

Hes frickin HURT. He hasnt been the same since that hit in game 3.

What hit... what part of his body took the brunt?

 

[RandyHolt]

I hope folks can see why I was clamoring for a Chimera MP Ward line... they looked fantastic yes as good as when Fehr was there.

 

[Capsman]

A guy who just won a rocket and probably an MVP doesn't play like that because he feels like it, carrying an injury for sure but let's just hope he can shake it off.

Nope, my guess is he was drinking today.

 

[Raikkonen]

Lets see what Oates is about.

 

[tycoonheart]

If I am Oates I put in Noovy. He's solid against the Rags. You paid the man, so play him.

I also demote Mojo. Put in Ward on the top line. Ward showed me more today than Mojo has all playoffs.

Ovi. Nicky. What the hell is up with these guys? This is the first time I recall the non-stars on this team chipping in for the playoffs and the superstars are no where to be seen.

MP our best player in the playoffs so far.

 

[tycoonheart]

What hit... what part of his body took the brunt?

He was hipchecked by someone pretty hard.

 

[Liberati0n*]

I hope folks can see why I was clamoring for a Chimera MP Ward line... they looked fantastic yes as good as when Fehr was there.

The problem is you were clamoring for dropping Fehr to the fourth line. With Fehr moved up in the lineup because of injury, Ward to the third line is a foregone conclusion.

 

[amin723]

League wanted Saturday drama for NBC. You're never in trouble until you lose at home.

 

[Zoidberg Jesus]

So Ovie flopped very convincingly. Not sure how that's relevant.

 

[Liberati0n*]

So Ovie flopped very convincingly. Not sure how that's relevant.

It's relevant because it cuts both ways. They got a late PP in game 3 when at absolute best there should have been matching minors.

 

[Liberati0n*]

And that's hardly "very convincingly." It was a blatant dive.

 

[tycoonheart]

It's relevant because it cuts both ways. They got a late PP in game 3 when at absolute best there should have been matching minors.

Are you saying thats not a penalty? 'Coz I clearly saw the stick hit Ovi high.

 

[Coldplay619]

7-2 that game in penalties for rangers.

Tonight, 4-2.

11-4 in two games at home, they were calling nothing on them and everything on us.

 

[Liberati0n*]

Are you saying thats not a penalty? 'Coz I clearly saw the stick hit Ovi high.

I'm saying that harmless barely-contact like that is arguably not worth a penalty with under 2 minutes to go in a one-goal game. Matching minors was probably the right call, but it would be hard to fault the ref for calling only the dive there.

 

[SimplySensational]

So Ovie flopped very convincingly. Not sure how that's relevant.

Hit him in the chin and cut him, referees decided his month old cut was free game and only gave them 2 minutes.

 

[RandyHolt]

Its not a problem when that line scores.

Ward was our 3RW most of the year and only lost it because of injury. He is not a 4th line RW and was not brought here to be that.

 

[Liberati0n*]

Its not a problem when that line scores.

Yes, the fourth line scored with Fehr on it.

Ward was our 3RW most of the year and only lost it because of injury. He is not a 4th line RW and was not brought here to be that.

Great. I had no problem switching Ward with Brouwer.
