Post-Game Talk: Capitals @ Rangers 3/24/13

[BB58]

Lundqvist played a good game I thought. Key saves at good times. I'm starting to get the feeling that he's becoming very frustrated with the way the team in front of him is playing. I think it's unlikely, but if the Rangers keep sucking and end up getting blown out sometime soon, I can see him pulling a Roy and just saying, "that's it". Again, unlikely, but I'm sure Habs fans didn't expect that either.

I actually predicted that might happen. Sort of like Lebron James stunt. Can't blame him tho.

 

[Holocene]

MDZ, McD, Stepan, Kreider and Hank had good games. Put Kreider on Stepan's wing!

 

[Heyoooo*]

He teaches offense. We have a goalie and defense, which Tampa didn't

I agree.

This team's goalie and defense can more than make up for the offensive system.

We wont be as good as we are now, but we wouldnt be that bad either.

 

[Zamboner]

As for Guy Boucher, no more Tampa rejects, please. This is getting to the level of the "Former Devil" curse.

 

[JCrusher*]

I can understand why Richards is getting chance after chance... The team needs this guy to get the rest of the offense going. He obviously isn't going anywhere right now. I can see why Tortorella keeps throwing him out there.

At the same time, there's other players that can do better than he's doing right now.

Torts has 3 favorites which are miller boyle and richards. All 3 have *****ed up royally multiple times but will always get Torts support

Psh. Marty Biron and Ty Conklin can handle the workload. Henrik means absolutely nothing to this team anyway.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

The thing is, Boucher is all about offense. Tampa has the offense down but **** defense.

Torts is all about defense. Rangers have the defense down and **** offense. Seems like a swap would do both teams some good. imo.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Gotta move on. Next game. Need some change or improvement, both. Though. Need some catalyst, an attitude change.

 

[Kel Varnsen]

He teaches offense. We have a goalie and defense, which Tampa didn't

Yeah Guy did so much with so little to work with offensively. Not, they're ****ing stacked at forward. And he was using a 1-3-1 neutral zone trap at times, hardly a strong offensive minded strategy.

 

[Fataldogg]

Im 50/50 on it.

Same.

I can't help but feel, even with the lost depth with the Nash trade, our team should still be much better than this with Nash... if we had competent coaching.

 

[Florida Ranger]

He teaches offense. We have a goalie and defense, which Tampa didn't

He teaches offense... Okay. It's easy to say that about him when you have two top 10 offensively gifted players on the team that will score regardless of the coach.

 

[nevesis]

Callahan's interviews ****ing suck. This guy is never angry, or pissed after a loss like Henrik is. Hank is this team.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Wasn't he 15?

yes he was when Gomez came here. before that, when the Rangers got him from the Flames he wore 19..

 

[member 116805]

Cally needs to be slapped

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Can we trade for Anaheims coach. Is that allowed?

 

[Killem Dafoe]

I actually predicted that might happen. Sort of like Lebron James stunt. Can't blame him tho.

Yeah I wouldn't blame him either. I feel like every goal that goes in he throws his head back in disgust and I almost cringe knowing that he's just getting more and more aggravated. He deserves a cup in his career for sure, he's the best in the world and this team needs to want it as bad as he does.

 

[Doctyl]

what are the odds gabs is benched for miller next game?

 

[Florida Ranger]

People ***** about Tortorella and his in-game strategies, or lack thereof...

Watch Lightning games the past two years. The 1-3-1 was a gimmick that was caught on.

 

[16 To Stanley*]

Who gets waived tomorrow? Pyatt please? Richards, pretty please?

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

He teaches offense... Okay. It's easy to say that about him when you have two top 10 offensively gifted players on the team that will score regardless of the coach.

Stamkos would go from this generation's best goal scorer to a 2nd line player on this team.

 

[silverfish]

Two wins in their last seven. Five points out of a possible fourteen.

Yikes.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Can anyone tell me if Brad Richards ever scored on the SO for us? I don't think he has

 

[Machinehead]

Callahan's interviews ****ing suck. This guy is never angry, or pissed after a loss like Henrik is. Hank is this team.

Thats ridiculous. A good captain doesnt show anger to the media.

 

[BB58]

what are the odds gabs is benched for miller next game?

what are the odds Kreider is benched?

 

[noupf]

even if this sh-t show of a team managed to win in overtime or the shoot out.........it once again would have proved that they cant get it done in regulation. Since they lost in the shoot out, i guess my point is moot.
