GDT: Rangers @ Capitals - "Playoffs? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Playoffs!" Edition - 3/28/18 - 8pm EDT

[Tob]

Fire the coach after this game. Absolutely f***ing helpless. Total loser behind the bench. Up 2-1 and proceeds to turtle until you lose. f***ing cup final, every playoff series. Having all these young players coached by an absolute atrocious loser like Vigneault is no way to do it. Not for a day.

 

[LeetchisGod]

I was just thinking how there isn't one player on this roster who could score on that shot

Late first round pick. Gorton has to hit home runs in this draft. No f***ups.

 

[NYR]

OH **** OFF

Ditto

 

[Ori]

No puck luck 2 pts for Caps.

 

[trilobyte]

Just too much relaxing going on at critical times.
Rangers had some good moments but pretty easy to see why they are on the outside looking in.
Good to see the young players play.

Unfortunately, things like this are going to happen.

I like Pionk, but he is a rookie and we have to be very mindful about over-projecting him.

 

[mrmovies779]

Except Chytil

I would trade anyone in our organization for Kuznetsov.

 

[NYR]

Please tell me what he did wrong there?

He didn't cover his man.
Plain and simple

 

[Machinehead]

Deserved that after our garbage 3rd period. Tried to sit on a lead we didn't have.

AV hockey.

 

[Phoicon]

Our guys froze in time like when in Saved by the Bell Zach took a timeout and broke the fourth wall - I half expected them to talk to the camera.

No-one knew what player to take. Not Skej, not Zib, not Kreider.

But I am not complaining. Our Happy Sherman movie rolls on.

 

[mrmovies779]

I am pissed. Blood is boiling.

This isn't normal is it?

You shouldn't be pissed over meaningless games.I think you're more upset that Hank didn't get the win.

 

[nevesis]

How can their be actual human beings who think Pionk did nothing wrong on the tying goal? What universe do I live in where people don't have the ability to see EXACTLY WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED THAT I SAW.

Please go f*** off.

Not sure how all 4 officials decided that Eller playing the puck with Holtby still on the ice wasn't offsides.



Holtby is still 5 feet from the bench and Eller plays the puck. That's an automatic penalty 99.9999% of the time. Pretty brutal.

Well, I want the team to win, even though it means nothing, but I wanted them to win especially for the way Hank played (and for his own personal stats) since our team stats mean nothing now.

But a win in regulation, or a win in OT would have made me super happy, instead I was very pissed, and only starting to come down.

Remember, it's not if you lose, it's HOW you lose, and losing the way we did hurts way worse.

Is anyone actually saying that? Lmao.



I really like Pionk, but come on. That's right out of the Nick Holden playbook but actually probably worse than anything Holden ever did.

It might be the worst 'defensive' play I have ever seen. It's almost like he thought Eller was invisible.

Growing pains.We aren't done losing heartbreakers like this.

 

[Machinehead]

Get off your mommy's Ipad already and go to sleep little boy lol

I'd rather bring Dan Girardi back at 15 years, 20 million AAV than continue to read your posts.

 

[Tob]

I'm surprised we didn't give up 2 goals in the final 5 minutes of regulation. We have an idiot yelling from the bench to get the puck out of the zone and come to the bench for a change and just let the next unit on the ice get bombared when the puck is already back in the zone when they step on the ice. Sun Tzu can be kicked in the head by a horse and be high on opium and come up with a better hockey strategy than that in f***ing 500 B.C.

 

[nevesis]

In the Hank era of my fandom, count this as 13+ years of f***ing heartbreak.

At least I got to see them win a cup when I was 12.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Worst case scenario lose and get a f***ing point. Awful.

 

[Machinehead]

Up there with some shit Girardi used to pull, but at least Girardi would entertain us with a head spin.

 

[Edge]

It was a stupid play by Pionk.

I guess I'm just not fuming because he's a rookie and I don't see him as being that core member on a better squad that others are starting to believe him to be.

I have total faith in JG and the scouting staff headed by Gordie Clark. I totally agree with you that this year's draft is huge. We need to hit a home run and I have total faith that we will seeing 95% of the moves JG has made since he's been handed the keys to the car by Sather have been excellent.

I really think we are in very good shape and have no doubt that in two years we will be a playoff participant again and in three years ready for a long playoff run. In Gorton I trust...so should the rest of my brothers in here. The man knows his shit and will no doubt not let us down. I'm convinced of this.....
