GDT: Game # 54 - Cinco de Mayo - Rangers vs Capitals - 7pm - NBCSN

[eco's bones]

Rangers should not give any of the three stars to any of the Caps at the end of the game. Here’s who they should give them to:

1. Brendan Smith for fighting that f***.
2. Pavel Buchnevich for that nice little crosscheck into Mantha’s choppers. Watch him get suspended though.
3. Ryan Strome for giving Eller a boxing lesson and I didn’t mind that chop he gave Hathaway at the end.

The refs are just trying to move the game along. Any shenanigans and they give you a misconduct. During a normal game these misconducts aren’t given out ever. League is covering their asses because they knew they f***ed up.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

So shut down Zibanejad tomorrow? What’s the point?

We don't have an available forward?

1) I dont see the comparable at all to Savard. In any way. Savard had much better junior numbers. Chytil never did really.

2) They wouldnt be trading him for some “mystery box”.

This is not an untouchable piece.

Chytil didn't play juniors. So I don't get that one. He played in the AHL, and while Savard had better AHL numbers, he was also a full two years older than Chytil when he started playing in the A.

I don't think too many pieces are untouchable (in my head, there are 4, maybe 5, and Chytil isn't on the list). But I also don't think he's a player who you move just to make a change, either. He's still got a ton of potential, we wouldn't get much back for him as he sits today, and he plays a position where there is almost no organizational depth.

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

Our system is the WORST. All these young legs on our team and it's just dump after dump after dump after dump after dump after dump after dump after dump.

Time to dump dump dump the coach

 

[Pizza]

Yup. Clark Gilles said that he usually fought terrified.

One of the best youtube videos Ive watched is Gilles recalling how Nystrom helped him to get psyched up to go after a guy (forget who) that he was afraid of.

Then he went out and kicked the guys ass.

Great story. Go watch it.

 

[LokiDog]

There's no place like hone.

You’re gon dan righn.

 

[bl02]

I think Fox threw the hardest hit all game.

We don't have an available forward?

Just call up Johnny the Body Brodzinski, who cares at this point

 

[SML2]

God I hate to say this, Really do,

But I miss Milbury in this clown show of a Broadcast team.

You're alone.

Yeah this was expected. The league under penalizes one game and then over compensates in the next so instead of having one bad game they have two.

 

[Tob]

Looking forward to the Georgiev DeAngelo reunion tomorrow

Maybe start a line of candles together.

It's just more of the old double standard.

I don’t think I’ve ever disliked a Rangers team more than this one. No heart at all and I don’t think we’ve ever won a big game. Swept in the qualifiers, losing 3 games in a row to the Isles getting outscored like 13-1, and now losing physically and on the scoreboard in the most important game of the season. This team is pathetic

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Mika has two shots.

1) Beautiful snipe under the crossbar.

2) Wide by 100 miles

Or give the stars to the three Rangers part of the line brawl.

 

[Machinehead]

Honestly, I was happy with this.

They did everything they could.

And that's why I don't believe in deterrence and why it's ultimately down to the league to be responsible, which they obviously weren't. Because at the end of the day, what can you actually do? We had what 7(?) fights and Buchnevich made, honestly, one of the dirtiest players of the year (which I'm fine with).

None of it materially accomplishes anything and none of it will stop Wilson from being who he is or the Caps from being who they are.

This was the most important game of the season. It was supposed to be a game of heart.

About that..

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

most important game of the season.

Most important game of the season?

they’re eliminated from the playoffs and half the starters are injured.

how on earth is this the most important game of the year?

Well, they have a new GM, the coach is about to be fired, and they are probably about to make some bad trades.

 

[Black Aces]

glad blackwell is on ice

You weren't blessed with watching Valerie Kaminksy suit up for the broadway blueshirts?

 

[Kane One]

This was the most important game of the season. It was supposed to be a game of heart.

About that..

How wasn’t it?

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Lol

 

[Kords]

Saw that coming

 

[Kane One]

Well Oshie scoring on the EN was as predictable as the sun rising in the morning
