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

[Irishguy42]

Pionk with the spotlight on NBC? Wow.

 

[Ori]

I think our 4th line will get more ice time than a traditional 4th line - AV will roll 4 lines for sure, but I will keep track with the TOI in this game. And McLeod main task is to protect our future.

 

[Bob Richards]

I was 9 the last time we played a meaningless game.

 

[Richard Banger]

I ended up with hypothermia at that game hahaha. Maybe I am to blame for bringing the bad mojo to the team

Hmmm. Must not be from New York

 

[nevesis]

Just win baby!!!

 

[Richard Banger]

Just win baby!!!

Why? We're literally eliminated from Contention. The best thing would be to lose

Let's not start this discussion again.

Let people root for the team however they want. It's their fandom. If you think they should do it differently, then keep it to yourself.

 

[Mac n Gs]

I remember wanting Shane Gersich so badly in his draft year. He had a really good college career at NoDak

 

[GregSirico]

Just win baby!!!

but y tho

 

[Allan92]

Good start, Pionk looking good again

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Nice start for Stionk.

 

[Hockey Gamer]

dang, all this subtle hype around Pionk is getting my hopes up.

 

[nevesis]

Hank is such a beast

 

[haohmaru]

Pionk with the spotlight on NBC? Wow.

Don't think they ever spotlighted Clendening...

 

[nevesis]

dang, all this subtle hype around Pionk is getting my hopes up.

He's been nothing but excellent since his first NHL shift. I am pumped.

 

[haohmaru]

Staal with a shot on goal that was actually on goal. Wow!

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Pionk hype getting out of control

 

[Richard Banger]

I'd keep Staal around just to help Pionk learn the ropes.

 

[Ori]

4-3 SOG 50% face offs - they look better prepared for the first 8 min. of this game.

 

[Machinehead]

Nice to see Hank has miraculously recovered from his "injury."

What's up with this arena? Don't they have lights in DC?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I'd keep Staal around just to help Pionk learn the ropes.

If anything they should keep him as far away from Staal as possible so he doesn’t pick up his bad habits

 

[GregSirico]

Pionk playing well again ...

 

[bl02]

Hype or not its fun to watch Pionk play. We are starved for young RHD

 

[E-Train]

McCleod can't even protect our coaching staff.

Yeah. The puck wasn't deterred at all.

 

[GregSirico]

Cody McLeod kills anything that looks fun.

 

[Tob]

If anything they should keep him as far away from Staal as possible so he doesn’t pick up his bad habits

Staal has okay habits. It's his skating and immobility that's the issue. Not contagious. I don't see the point of buying him out if we're rebuilding. Every year burned is a bit better on an eventual buyout.
