GDT: Caps vs rangers game 7

[RockDaRed]

Ugh, I know what you mean. These 0-0/0-1 to OT games are not good for my heart. I'm nearly tempted to wait till game is over and then check the score. But then, I might miss something amazing live.

I'm so bummed there are no spoilers to check. AND I HATE SPOILERS.

Yeah knowing my luck I would not watch and buddy calls me like did you just SEE THAT?!! I'll be like what? He'll be like Ovi just slapshotted the puck from between Holtby's legs in the crease with 11 seconds left and it flew all way down where Lind was gonna save it then it hit the ref in the head, deflected into Nash's mouth who then spit it out in Lind hand who dropped it in his net screaming EWWWW

Whats everyone's confidence level for tonight's game?

Through the roof.

I don't pay attention to ref names. What do people think of this crew?

From Arlington News:

The new Z-burger in Virginia Square is offering free burgers tomorrow if the Capitals win tonight.

 

[Carlzner]

Just ****ing win.

I hope the last crew left a ledger showing which make-up calls are owed.

Play a full 60. Play a physical, but disciplined game. And just get it done and move on, this has already gone on longer than it should. Although the officiating has been putrid and Lundqvist has been incredible we're clearly the better team, and have shown that even more so on home ice. Crash the net and get something by this guy.

@Sk84fun_DC

O'Rourke worked NYR/WSH G3; Rooney G1; Murphy G5; Morin G3 & G6

@TSNBobMcKenzie

Lots of talk in WSH that Brooks Laich could draw into Caps' lineup in G7 tonight.

 

[troyerlaw]

Through the roof.

That's what I'm talking about!

Apparently those two call the most penalties of anyone out there. O'Rourke calls the most aggression/roughing type penalties, Rooney the most HHS type penalties (or something like that).

So hold on to your butts.

(Granted, I think Rooney is something of a homer when the game doesn't involve the Bruins, so that *might* play into the Caps' favor a bit)

 

[capitalsrock]

Don't specifically hate any of these refs we have today, so that's a good sign

Expecting a 1-0 game, and I just have a feeling the winning goal will be on the PP considering how important they have been this series.

My gut tells me Eric Fehr scores an OT PP goal crashing the net and the fans go crazy

Re: laich's rumored return tonite,
I have been kind of expecting this the last couple games, and I think it would give Caps and their crowd a big lift. Do you put him on line 1, 2, or 4?

 

[RockDaRed]

I'm afraid of O' Rourke. He's a major wild card. He's the guy who turned it around for NY.
--------------
My confidence level 85%. Other 15% is just the typical NHL hates us and won't let us break through glass ceiling feeling

 

[butters8814*]

The first line has been awful, Ovi had a great game in game 6, but b ackstrom has been lost the whole series, i would lov eto see ribs with ovi on the first line and see what happens.

 

[Carlzner]

Laich would be huge. We need more scoring in this lineup.

Put Ovechkin with Ribs and ****ing scratch 19.

 

[tycoonheart]

@TSNBobMcKenzie

I'd throw him on line two and move F16 to line 1.

Start him on the 4th. See how he does. If good move him up to 1st LW.

I just wonder how good he will be after all this time off. Can't expect too much if he plays.

Id guess he'd play those 5-7 minutes Wilson has been getting.

 

[troyerlaw]

I would prefer that the Caps win this game.

All other things being equal, yes.

 

[gramatanboy]

Islander fan here wishing you the best tonight against the Rangers!! Need to stay out of the penalty box and shoot all the time against Lundquist and you will win. It would also be nice if Ovechkin scored in this game!!

 

[Langway]

Which team will out-inept the other offensively?

Stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion...

thanks man. Shame you guys couldn't take Pitt to 7. I was loving that series. Especially the last home game. Very cool all your fans stayed to chant until they exited. So many people nowadays at sporting events are already in their cars and gone *cough* Miami before the game is even over.
