GDT: #7 - 10/17/18 | RANGERS @ capitals | 7:00 - NBCSN

[Levitate]

Hayes killing penalties. Why.

Claesson sucks.

Backstrom just gona continue to cheat on faceoffs

only hve a few centers and Hayes has the most experience PKing at this point

 

[NYR]

Ovi is such a badass player.
IDK that Caps fans really know what a special player they have..

 

[Tob]

You know... after watching Ovie hammer two home like that, I'm completely disenfranchised with Mika trying to present himself as a threat on the PP in Ovie's spot. It's actually taking away a legitimate set up away from our PP.

 

[Hire Sather]

it feels like we never get a chance

there's a shot.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Our special teams are terrible.

 

[Crease]

All things considered a one goal game against the Caps on the tail end of a back to back is impressive for this roster.

 

[Macbanan]

Third line is a disaster defensively

 

[Machinehead]

Kreider is the absolute juice in front of the net.

Another garbage call.

 

[LeetchisGod]

These idiots keep taking penalties.

 

[Tob]

gotta stop assuming everyone doesn't know anything.

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

here we go another ovi one timer

 

[SnowblindNYR]

No f***ing discipline on this team.

 

[Tawnos]

You were saying?

Well. I’m really talking about the theory of defending. Executing is a whole other problem. The Rangers have spent almost no time practicing their PK this season as they try to get their 5v5 game where it needs to be. It’s really not a surprise that their special teams are a big problem right now.

I mean you are not wrong

 

[haohmaru]

21 pounds lighter and still can't get out of his own way.

 

[will1066]

Tank forces are strong tonight

 

[Harbour Dog]

Claesson came in and has quietly been a very steady guy on the back end. He influences the game in the way that Staal attempts to.

 

[Machinehead]

Defenders pressure Mika

 

[nevesis]

Keep taking penalties guys. Real smart.

 

[Rempe73]

I wouldn't let him have it.

Orpik is a drag in the regular season, don't get me wrong, I have cursed his name a thousand times.


But the man is built for the post season and I agree with the assessment that he had a tangible role in our win. He plays hard, stay at home, physical defense and he did it well last year. He can't play a lot of minutes anymore but as a bottom pairing d-man he's one of the better ones in the league for the post season. I think one of the things Orpik does deceivingly well is take away space from his opponent, he's great at making the opposition run out of track or closing out any space they have around them. This is most definitely his last year with us, but I think the biggest issue with the guy was we were paying him $4.5 for bottom pairing production.

$4.5? Lol we’re paying $5.7 for an AHL/ECHL tweener. For 3. More. Years.

They've been leaving him open for years.

 

[nevesis]

Hayes really needed to score there. Would have been absolutely massive.

 

[DanielBrassard]

I just hate what Zibanejad did there. Instead of corralling the puck, he just spins and throws a rocket to the net with no Rangers there. Kills the offensive zone possession.

 

[NewLife]

dumb f***s

 

[trilobyte]

Hang that head Brendan
Pray

 

[NYR]

Our advance scouts evidently have never seen this Ovechkin guy.

You can scout him anyway you want.
He's always going to be in the same exact place, everyone single time and everyone in the league knows it yet no one can stop him.
He's the elite of the elite..
