Pre-Game Talk: (3) Washington Capitals VS (6) New York Rangers (Schedule in Post #1)

[Carnival Barker]

Looks like 5 of the 8 series have a back-to-back for Game 6 & 7.

 

[The Gloaming]

just out of curiosity, does Pitts have any back to backs scheduled?

here's the schedule: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=668207

Games 6 and 7.

 

[broadwayblue]

Wow, still calling him that after knowing that he played through a shoulder injury last playoffs that required surgery in the offseason?

He's been soft long before and since the shoulder.

Back to back game 6 and 7.

So is the first round covered locally as well? Don't really want to watch it on comcast.

 

[Holocene]

Wait... so we're not playing on Wednesday...? **** I just moved my work schedule around

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

does NHL center ice carry the 1st round of the playoffs?

 

[JohnC]

Almost shed a tear seeing all the NBC's

I want Sam

No.

I'm pretty sure every playoff game is going to be carried on one of the NBC networks again this year.

 

[truebluegoalie]

I want Sam and Joe, not Doc, EddieO, and Pierre!

Could you imagine Sam calling Richards' game 5 goal last year, or Gaborik's 3OT goal?

I'd rather have Doc, Eddie and Pierre over Benyanati and Laughlin

 

[The Gloaming]

Well that's a no-brainer.

But still. For us in NY. Sam and Joe would be preferred.

Rangers don't play until Thursday, but then game 7 would be the second of a back to back, and the 3rd in 4 nights, brutal.

 

[darko]

Hahaha, man back to back games 6 and 7?? really?!

Lets hope we clinch before then.

 

[Thirty One]

What's Washington's schedule like for those games?

 

[SA16]

Well have to just win it by game 6 then.

 

[17futurecap]

What's Washington's schedule like for those games?

Yes, it's brutal for both teams, sorry for not clarifying.

 

[member 116805]

Lets hope we clinch before then.

Yep! Rangers in 3

Everyone goes crazy for his call on Richards game tying goal in game 5, but Doc's call on Staal's game winner in OT of that game was way better.

True, Doc's call on Staal's OT goal is great.

 

[TheTakedown]

Please tell me those first four games aren't exclusive to NBC/NBCSN.

they have rights o weekend games, as far as I recall.. Think john Giannone tweeted earlier this week...

JOHN GIANNONE ‏@jaygeemsg 27 Apr
Schedule to be determined, but in 1st round, NBC only has exclusivity on WEEKEND gms & isn't planning to do game on weekend of May 11-12.

 

[broadwayblue]

Hate watching on NBC

 

[charlie460]

I want Sam

Games 1,3 & 4 at the very least will be on MSG.

 

[JohnC]

Games 1,3 & 4 at the very least will be on MSG.

Thank god. My ears don't have it in them for all that Doc

 

[Fitzy]

Would like to see a whole lot more of Holtby beating the mickey out of the wall with his stick after being pulled.

I'd rather sit outside with the NYR radio feed than watch those asshats on NBC. Maybe I'll mute the game and sync it up with the radio...
