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

[Cassano]

Its not a priority...obviously ....but if you get speared in the balls with a 3 goal lead stand up and do something

Who cares?

 

[Callagraves]

Boyle is the Rangers best guy on draws, which is an under appreciated part of the game. Not surprised he doesn't get more love. He's a good situational player

On HFNYR, you either score or break faces. God help you if you don't fit into either catergory

 

[Raspewtin]

As in, answering goals? Killing the other team's momentum?

Yes, that's what I meant.

 

[Let Blaine Die]

Boyle is a good 4th line LW and PKer. Nothing more, nothing less. Besides faceoffs he absolutely sucks at C. Much better suited as a LW who will shift over to take faceoffs or a faceoff specialist during the PK.

 

[SkjeiPls]

He also leads the team in hits

Girardi leads the team in hits.

that is why you have to take 90% of what is posted here and.....ahhhh never mind

 

[Callagraves]

Yes, that's what I meant.

OK, right. For a split second I thought you had the strange ability to watch the game in reverse

im just glad the Rangers didnt draft him as a 1st round pick like the Kings did

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Boyle is not a hard hitter. So he's always getting his ass kicked in scrums. Look at the devils 4th line. That line wrecks every team they play. They hit hard and are pests. I would definitely sit Moore or Boyle for Dorsett.

Yet the Devil's have been how successful?

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Here we go!

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Can't believe Erat didn't get benched.

 

[KasparsHipCheck]

Their starting Erat...they want something to happen to him.

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Girardi leads the team in hits.

Yah, sorry. Boyle is however tied for the lead among forwards.

 

[Doctyl]

Their 4th line kicked us out of the playoffs in our best year since 94.

 

[Oak]

MDZ lol

they're going to miss play offs 3 out of 4 years

If you have good team, the 4th line shouldn't decide a 7 game series. We were tired and offensively challenged playing a flawed hockey system.

Devil's had the easiest road to the cup that year. Florida, Philly, Rangers. Toasted against the Kings... Toasted.

 

[Doctyl]

That's because their roster is seriously flawed. You can't deny that you hate playing against their 4th line. I know I can't stand it.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Caps are pushing

 

[InwoodBlueNYC]

Game is in a bit of a slog right now

 

[Minnesota]

Their starting Erat...they want something to happen to him.

Interesting... I'm curious how Caps fans feel about this.

 

[KasparsHipCheck]

Caps are pushing

NYR sitting back a little bit too much. Hank has been heating his game up lately, so they can count on him to make big saves.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Yet the Devil's have been how successful?

That 4th line beat us in the ECF.

 

[SkjeiPls]

Much better 3rd period so far than against OTT.

 

[Raspewtin]

I totally forgot the Rangers played last night.
