Post-Game Talk: Caps @ Rangers

[jskramer83]

Welcome back rongos, we missed you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LeetchisGod]

I have a feeling the number of Nash apologists will decrease after this year.

 

[nevesis]

I want to take a safety pin, and just pop Barry Trotz.

 

[Thunderhead]

Not likely no. Too sloppy with the puck to effectively work as a puck possession team. You neutralize the Rangers by clogging the middle of the ice and then just wait.

We had the puck quite a bit in that game but constantly fumbled with it.

2-0 Ducks already . They don't **** around like we do .

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Left the building as soon as scoring off the rush was limited. Aka, 4/16.

 

[Cassano]

Bring up the undertaker. Enough with this nonsense. Have him take out 3 capitals on his way to the penalty box.

Would rather call up Kostka.

 

[GOAT AINEC]

Duck are winning the cup this year. The teams their facing to get to the cup are a joke.

 

[nevesis]

And he's exactly right, being a former NHL goaltender and actually knowing what he's on about unlike the HF keyboard goaltenders.

Ovechkin is skating behind the net so Lundqvist comes off the post, then Ovechkin makes a RIDICULOUS pass (people really need to give him credit for that) to a WIDE OPEN Joel Ward on the doorstep with nobody anywhere near him.

A one-timer off a clean pass from behind the net is tough enough to stop because the goalie has NO TIME to properly position themselves and react to the shot, let alone an insane pass like that which would take any goaltender by surprise.

Absolutely, 100%

I don't think people are taking into account how much worse off our defense is with Boyle replacing Stralman.

And how much worse our 4th line is with Tanner Glass and Jesper Fast instead of Dorsett and Brian Boyle.

With Glass, its bad that he was signed, but he still barely plays. He plays, what, 10 minutes a game? Going from Brian Boyle to Glass is possibly going from the best fourth line player in the league to the worst, but we really are only talking about 10-12 minutes per game.

Dan Boyle plays 20+ per game usually and can't defend. I think thats a way bigger problem. I'm not even so sure he's an NHL caliber player anymore.

Either them or the Hawks.

 

[Riverdale]

Unlikely.

I have zero expectations for Nash. The less you expect of him the better for your own mental health.

 

[LottieDottie]

ovechkin is a grotesque piece of trash.

 

[Petey Pucks]

Ovy talking smack to Henrik with a minute left...all series hank...all series....he says

 

[The Gloaming]

One Tampa Bay 04 outcast wasn't enough last year. We needed two.

Brutal.

Get buchnevich over here. He can't possibly be worse than MSL.

 

[SRTtoZ]

It's just when I watch our playoff games, I don't see a Presidents trophy type team. I see a sloppy one, who can't seem to score easy goals, every single one is a GRIND. We had no business even tieing it up if not for the fluke goal that plinko-d its way through 5 guys. And of course, the finisher where the Caps win the face off, Ovy controls the puck and skates into our zone while 4 rangers skate around him like there was a 10 foot barrier around him. Every part of our game failed in that last sequence and we didnt really deserve the win. I just wish we came out like Anaheim and set the tone, scoring and beating them up. Maybe my expectations are off. Now this makes Saturday pretty much a must win.

I think zucc is ready to come back now.

Hank should tell him he needs Grecian 5 for the grey hair

Well said. Especially the "HF keyboard goalie" part.

Still gotta beat the bhawks

 

[Beacon]

Nash will not be a factor in the playoffs as expected. Lets all relax and forget about it.

I actually already did. Nash choked again. I don't even expect him to score. We were discussing who'll score in OT vs the Pens and I had total disbelief in someone's prediction that Nash would score. His one goal so far was too late to count.

Five goals in 47 playoff games. 5! Thays 8.7 goals per 82 gamws. He can't be injured every year he makes the playoffs. He just can't perform in high pressure situations.

 

[trilobyte]

So, it's the Rangers job to take Ovi's trash talk and shove it down his throat.
By whatever means. The ball is in your court, Rangers.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

That was the most demoralizing thing I've ever seen. Depressing.

Boyle gets hit cheap and to the head, yes, but everyone stopped playing. All anyone had to do was just prevent any type of clean play on the puck, there was 3 seconds left for christ sake you don't even have to make a smart play just ****ing knock the puck back to the boards.

 

[Captain Lindy]

He's a smug little turd, isn't he?

 

[Thunderhead]

I wish we have him than the big baby good for nothing Nash .

Wow. Just woWZS

Non existent would be amaze
