Post-Game Talk: The Battle to Banish the Rongos to the Shadow Realm: Caps @ Rangers 7:07PM

Bura doing his best MoJo impression.

The mantle of useless Swede forward can only possess one player at a time.

Nylander > Mojo > Burt.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

It has nothing to do with we're taking advantages of our chances and the rags aren't. It's all because of their injuries or they'd still be the best team in the league.

The Rags aren't the best team in the league even with everyone in their roster. That being said I wouldn't take them for granted in a playoff series. We broke them mentally tonight but they will recover.

 

[Fallschirmyager]

So whats Hanks excuse?

No idea. That's what the rags announcers were saying. It looked to me like we got a nice bounce and then poured it on from there.

 

[g00n]

I knew the Rangers would fold if the Caps showed some momentum, but didn't expect them to lose a 2 goal lead and then turn around and get blown out. Issues in NY.

 

[Capitals40]

This team is so boring all they do is win.

 

[ynotcaps]

Told my wife during the first half of the Redskins game that that was what it was like to watch them under Gibbs 1 -- total confidence that they were just going to go out and take care of their business.

Even more true of this Caps team. No matter what bumps arise, they keep their heads down and ruthlessly take care of their business. And damn, is it fun to watch!

 

[Acallabeth]

Good win against a bad team with very bad goaltending.

I tuned in when the score was 1-3, so I loved everyone but the 4th line. Do something GMBM before it's too late.

 

[Koized]

Beat another bad team.

 

[Raikkonen]

Really, guys, that was another weak team. Don't lie to yourselves.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

This team can win any type of game.

 

[Herregud]

No one told me that tears were this delicious.

 

[Blades of Steel]

MEH first 20, **** YEAH last 40. I'll take it, night boys.

 

[hockeyfan88]

Great win. F the Rags.

 

[Raikkonen]

Michael Latta is cool as cucumber. As soon as he got faster he became more useful player. I hope he can manage to squeeze more from his legs.

 

[hockeykicker]

Another bad team right? I wonder when the caps will actually play a good team

 

[ynotcaps]

Michael Latta is cool as cucumber. As soon as he got faster he became more useful player. I hope he can manage to squeeze more from his legs.

Latta's looking like he's turned a corned. Mojo, too. Looks like some genuine growth from both of them. Hope the almost week-long break doesn't interrupt their growth.

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

We are really spoiled. This is some great hockey we get watch from the Caps. Two great come backs in a row, and to do it in such a dominant fashion and against the Rangers. It doesn't get any better.

 

[txpd]

I'd have to say that the Rangers are in the danger zone. Any chance AV is about to get canned?

I hope they fire AV and they hire a terrible coach. It would make our life easier in the playoffs.

I was impressed with his reading of the play. He and Wilson are making really great strides in their games. Bad ass.

 

[Dream Big]

Didn't they just do a 1000 games coached tribute this game for AV? What happened to Lundquist? Anybody know?

 

[trick9]

I'd have to say that the Rangers are in the danger zone. Any chance AV is about to get canned?

I would say no way, they've had stretch of about 13 bad games but they did win 9 or 10 in a row before that.

That being said, i wish he gets canned. He's definitely top-5 coach in the NHL in my opinion, and none of the better ones would be available.

 

[Raikkonen]

King Henrik is old. And disappointed. He must be feeling deep inside he isn't going to SCF this time (over Holtby).

 

[Zoidberg Jesus]

Just got back to my hotel after the game... holy ****. That was unbelievable.

Random observation... Rangers fans don't counter-cheer. There was a box that was full of Caps fans who were doing C-A-P-S chants and mocking Lundqvist, and Rangers fans never made an effort to drown them out until they started a "we can't hear you" chant in the final minutes. Thought that was odd.

 

[Acallabeth]

Henrik's just 33, but man, that caphit and salary.
