Haha. I had the same reaction. He's correct, in that they've gotten better each game, but that literally means 'once.' They Caps have gotten better once.

Like the make believe trip on Zibanejad in the 1st? Or the make believe high stick on Panarin in the 1st? Neither called and obvious penalties.
The refs were ass last night. The Panarin hit was clean.
Repeating it ad nauseam won't make it any more true.
In fact, it was called, because it wasn't clearly seen. Then it was reviewed, and taken away. Because video evidence clearly showed a clean hit.

Yea that was the start of it, caps fans also defended Wilson's career-ending hit to the head on Lubo Visnovsky for years, which was about 10x worse than the oshie hit last night
That’s exactly what I am implying as evidenced by the fact that when he realized he wasn’t getting a call, he popped right back up and shoved Cuylle.

Cant wait to see the reactions when the refs actually do screw the Rangers for a game.

There were lots of missed calls last night on things the Caps did (Cuylle high sticked, Panarin high sticked, Zibanejad tripped, cross check by Milano, etc, etc) and soft calls on the Rangers. The officiating was equally bad for both teams. Whining about it is pretty boring.
I do think the non call when Zibanejad got tripped pissed the Rangers off and upped their intensity.
yeah with them shadowing him on the Caps PP he hasn't really got a clean shot off from there. You know, doing that thing everyone always yelled should be done against him and the Caps power play.
my man, that is every game if you're a rangers fan
That's true, but bad reffing still tilts games.
The concussion spotter took him off since it was a clear hit to the head. They have to in those instances.
Pretty sure a big part of the concussion spotter's job is looking at the player immediately after the hit and how they are reacting. Oshie clearly took his time getting up and looked a little dazed. If he had popped straight up and kept going after the hit, guarantee he isn't taken off. But either he was actually dazed, or he was faking it (i'm assuming the former. Oshie doesn't strike me as the type to milk it).

Wasn't sure at first about the Panarin hit. It was weird....almost a reverse hit. The thing is Oshie had targeted him several times already in the game when he had the puck and sometimes when he didn't. To me when someone's chasing you around like that all night and the refs ain't calling highsticks and cheap shots then it becomes time to take shit into your own hands and as far as I'm concerned Oshie on that reaped what he sowed.
But....saying that when the refs are looking at it afterwards I thought that was f***ed up. So they didn't see it and now they wanted to do instant replay. I still think that was f***ed up even after they decided the hit was okay and gave a penalty instead to McMichael. But going back to that they took a good look at Panarin's hit and no penalty.....so if you don't like that it's just too bad.

I've probably watched Oshie on team USA more than I have on Washington, yes. lol
Oshie milks more than a farmer
Get ready for a parade to the box in game 3 for the Rangers. You know the refs are gonna give the caps any chance they can to get back in the series. Going to Washington and caps down 2-0 it is inevitable.

Holy shit calling for 5 and a game, clueless. And quite ironic coming from a fan of the team that employees that coward Wilson.
They need to play it as clean as possible for sure. Every ticky tack call will go the Caps way.

You asked for a video of the elbow and that is what I gave you. Why didn't you go find and post something? Lazy? Baiting?
I never commented on the elbow being some outrageous thing.
Interesting you didn't comment on the elbow after asking for a video of it, but only commented on other parts of the video you clearly already saw. Why'd you do that?
Someone posted a full video right after you. You purposely misled.

Cry me a river, you asked for the elbow because you are too lazy to type in a search yourself and now you're whining because the prior nut tap and cross check response weren't posted too. The video has a "watch full video" button regardless, it's just a youtube player of the full highlights, but I wasn't going to be creating my own video from scratch.
Genuine question, did you actually not see any part of that back and forth or read anyone talking about it during the game and posts here were the first time you knew of it?

1/3 of the game was PP time. I think it's been the same across a lot of the other series. The NHL wants to see higher scoring in the playoffs. Special teams are more important this year than ever.

Rangers should insert Chytil for Rempe for game 3. Rempe's penalties are going to be a worry. Rangers need to stay out of the box. The Caps converting on a bunch of their PP's is how they'll be able to put up more than 1 or 2.
Move Cuylle down to the fourth line. Chytil can start out on the third line. And if Rempe comes back in it should be for Roslovic.

No one cares about your "friends" on the inside. You're just some guy on the internet.
Oshie is a real competitor and never takes a shift off and plays a hard physical game. That's why he's injured so often and why occasionally he plays on the edge. I don't recall him ever getting suspended for it, though.

Maybe Oshie shouldn't play like such a scumbag? He brought it on with how he acted last night.
Plus the hit was clean, so . . . . . . ?

The Caps play man to man defense and Panarin was his guy. You think he was going to give him an easy night? Panarin got frustrated and threw a high hit that probably should have been penalized.
It's all good, though. I'm sure the Caps have forgotten all about it and the next time Panarin is in a vulnerable position they'll just let bygones be bygones.
