GDT: #51 - 01/19/14 | Washington Capitals @ New York Rangers | 7:30 PM - NBC SPORTS

[KasparsHipCheck]

Kreider has almost entered Dorsett and Pouliot territory with these penalties.

Almost entered their territory...He's first in stupid, needless, bs penalties...seems like one every game. usually the broadcasters says it's cause he simply too strong and overpowers guys. A cross check is a cross check, a hook is a ****ing hook. Get smarter BC Kreider, this is the NHL. Play disciplined.

 

[trilobyte]

I just knew the ref was calling that one. It just felt like a whistle blow.

Holtby has already earned a 'sucks' chant?
I'm surprised, but there's nothing like a welcome wagon.

 

[Boruto]

Highlight of the 1st period: Mike Milbury is not on the panel tonight.

 

[Fataldogg]

No it was definitely Holtby

I didn't understand that, TBH.

For a second, I thought the crowd was under the assumption that Holtby started the game.

Holtby is a good goalie that just hasn't had a good season, and has always played well against us. He will have a bright future, this year just might not be his year.

 

[JCrusher*]

Doesn't matter. You don't want to give that power play an easy one and cut the lead to two when it should be three. I know Washington has been slumping but they're still a pretty good team and there's 40 minutes left.

It was kind of a weak call i have seen that almost every game never called. if the rangers blow a 3-0 lead then they deserve to lose. i dont see it especially with the way the team has played lately

 

[BearishRiggs]

CK's young and a has a reaaall mean streak on the ice. Take into account the fact that Holtby is a giant ****** and I'm not bothered by it too much. Unnecessary, but I get it. We're up 3-0, period's ending soon, get into the guy's head before he has a chance to settle in.

 

[Ex Officer Friendly]

Critiquing Krieders penalty alil tough aren't we?

Cam got ran over yesterday, hank gets slashed and hit every game... Toronto smacked Cam like 4 or 5 times and were rewarded with a goal not a penalty

 

[KingP]

lol torts

 

[Oak]

Ya too many dumb penalties from Kreider the past few games. One of these days it's gonna bite us in the ass.

Other than that, LGR !!!!!!

Nash with the hat trick tonight I'm calling it !!!

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Kreider has been taking bad / undisciplined penalties all season. I haven't seen any adjustment in his game to eliminate those. He needs to be a smarter player in that regard. His penalties are getting old.

Not our best period of hockey and we are up 3-0. I'll take it. That said, we need to be much better in the 2nd and 3rd. Grubauer gifted us the lead.

So that's a bad penalty? What is it, then, when it happens 2084730452375342975 times during the game but not called? Sheer luck?

People need to calm down

I agree but I just don't want ovechkin getting the momentum shift. I can't stand him.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Glad Kreider smacked him.

It's 3-0. Let the Caps know you're not afraid of them.

 

[Trxjw]

Don't mind that penalty by Kreider. It was a weak-ass call. Kreider is just trying to get in Holtby's head.

 

[trilobyte]

Nobody is saying the refs are fair and even in their metering of justice.

 

[CharlieCharleschuk]

Don't think the Rangers are playing their game as well as they can. Maybe a little fatigue? However the score says it all, for now.

Kreider needs to test the waters. Nothing wrong with his game.

 

[FLNYR]

Holtby is a good goalie that just hasn't had a good season, and has always played well against us. He will have a bright future, this year just might not be his year.

The Garden crowd is just fired up and wanted to get in his head as soon as he took the ice

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I have to say this game is the definition of the score not being indicative of the game play. This what what a good PP does.

 

[The Gloaming]

Glad I decided on going today.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

I don't blame Kreider for that at all. That happens 5 times a game.

it happens to Lundqvist and it gets no call. the only problem i have is that rarely the refs call this type of penalty but most of the time they do not...

 

[JCrusher*]

I agree but I just don't want ovechkin getting the momentum shift. I can't stand him.

once again its 3-0. Hank is playing lights out and the rangers will probably score some more

 

[Raspewtin]

Highlight of the 1st period: Mike Milbury is not on the panel tonight.

Beat me to it.

 

[Boruto]

I like what he does. Chros Kroodor just needs to do it more subtlely. He ran the FLA player in front of the ref with 2m left in that 4-3 game.

Like the sages at NBC said, SPOTIOL AWORENOSS!!

Kreids isn't very aware.

 

[Pistachio]

Again. The slash wouldn't have been called if Kreider hadn't stuck the butt of his stick into Holtby's chest.

 

[KingStian]

Yes, it's something that happenes all the time. But when the guy taking the weak penalty take way to many equally stupid penalties, it becomes more than just bad luck, it becomes symptomatic.
