At what point does Lavy demote Mika? And not of that hurt feelings, bullshit.

Him getting prime minutes and PP minutes are hurting our feelings.

 

[Mike in Houston]

Rangers played ass as a team.

 

[Rempe73]

Not good, but that 3rd line tho

 

[Rangers in 7]

Zib at this point is a f***ing terrible player

 

[Harbour Dog]

Good to see our stars still can't handle fast, tight-checking games very well. I don't like change.

Lay off them, it's been a long season.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

We blaming Mika right ?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Bring Back Gallant

 

[CasusBelli]

The last 30 seconds said it all. Even if the game is lost, you play until the final whistle. Sometimes bounces don’t go your way. Sometimes you face a more talented opponent or hot goalie. Fine. But there’s no excuse for deliberately cruising the final 30s.

Bag skate these guys.

Anyway … the three stars:
Chytil
Kakko
Igor after the second goal

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Outside of the Chytil line everyone sucked ass. They were a step behind the entire game. Washington reminded me of Carolina being super aggressive and throw everything on net. Meanwhile the Rangers offense minus the Chytil line was all perimeter play and Daniel Jones levels of cross ice pass interceptions

 

[Brutananadilewski]

We blaming Mika right ?

And Miller.

And Lavy.

And Drury.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The Caps had almost NINE expected goals this game, for reference it was TWO expected goals more than we had against Montreal. Embarrassing and pathetic doesn't even begin to describe this game. I would literally take an 8-0 shutout where Shesterkin sucked over this garbage. I can't remember the last time the Rangers were anywhere near this bad. Absolutely f***ing pathetic.

 

[FUZfan]

I've seen the Harlem Globetrotters play better defense than the rangers played tonight.

73 games remaining to straighten out their shit.

Honestly do all the lineup experimentation now to get it out of the way

They do nothing to earn and time and space and act surprised they get pressured and swallowed up.

Cross ice passes at the end were reminiscent of the Strome-Panarin bad games.

 

[Machinehead]

And Miller.

And Lavy.

And Drury.

And the Wizards!

 

[mrmovies779]

We gave up the blue line so easily tonight.No resistance at all
Soft as baby shit.Absolutely dominated in every facet of the game.Could have given up 10 if not for Igor

 

[Row I Goon]

We blaming Mika right ?

The blame list is long and distinguished, just like my johnson.

 

[Kords]

Caps played a playoff game. They played up to their opponent and the Rangers weren't up for it. Our former draft bust beat our guy, Ovie scored 2 and somehow the worst thing that happened was Mika got a lucky assist on the PP extending his leash.

On the plus side, Kakko/Fil/Cuylle continue to look great. Panarin struggling in a tight checking playoff style game was not fun to watch though. Point streak ded....

Last Mika fan left on earth

They are trying to set the record

Nice title!

We were unprepared, we didn't adjust and we were outworked for most of the game.
Shesty made some great saves and the Fil line worked hard all game, they were the only ones who seemed to really want to try and skate through the Caps D.
Panarin line had an unusually quite night and Laf was rarely sighted outside of a fancy stick-handling display or two.
The Mika line is just a non-event at this point in time. I don't know how you fix it, but it is very broken.

At least out 12th forward fought their 6th d-man....
