GDT: Capitals @ Rangers Game 3: TSN, RDS2, NBCSN, MSG

[Baby Punisher]

I think Steve Fehr is sitting in front of me.

Ask him why his Brother was such a *****wood during the last lockout.

 

[NHRangerfan]

Boyle goal...Holtby so confident that the Rangers aren't gonna shoot in close that he left the post way early to play the pass

 

[BB58]

IF Boyle can perform this way in the regular season he'd be our top line player lol. Something about the playoffs ........

 

[RiceCooker]

Nash, Cally and Stepan have been really bad so far , these guys have got to get going if we have any chance of coming back in this series !!

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Moore
Boyle
Hagelin
Brassard
Staal

Agreed. Only guys I am legitimately angry about are Stepan, Callahan, and Nash. Those three were miserable. Everyone else played OK and the guys you mentioned played quite well.

Hank looks solid, too.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Boyle is killing it on the faceoffs.

Boyle is not deserving of so much hate. Just sayin' not to you but in general

 

[Holocene]

Seriously what is going on with Steps?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Team needs an injection of speed. Is Kreider even playing tonight? I didn't see the lines.

Nope.

Nash-Steps-Cally
Hags-Beaver-Hobbit
Blue Eyes-Brass-DD
AA-BB-DP

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Dont think the Rangers win this game playing like that. And they've been outplayed pretty much 140 minutes in the series.

I fail to see how we were that outplayed. I thought the period was quite even. We got trapped in the zone for two long stretches, but nothing came of it. Hopefully they come out flying with the momentum they got from Byron's goal.

 

[eco's bones]

I like Boyle tonight. Not just the goal but playing physical. Whether some are not happy with Callahan (dumb penalty) he really cranked Erskine late in the period. You want to win in the playoffs you've got to play physical--hit every ****ing thing that moves as often as possible.

Moore impresses me too. Loved Stralman's hip check on Ovechkin. Staal looks good out there. Guys that got to pick it up Nash, Stepan, Richards, Hagelin and Callahan.

Agreed, absolutely MISERABLE

3rd year in a row of playoff struggles. I don't what it is with him.

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Nash doesn't need to split the defense...It's the playoffs, you go for efficiency over flash. Why do you think Ovechkin is setting up his teammates with gaping, wide-open nets almost every time he's on the ice? He's one of the most dangerous guys in the world with the puck in the offensive zone...Nash doesn't seem to have any brains...or effort recently. He needs to draw guys to him, then kick it out to an open man....instead he floats through with his dangles, loses it, and watches our guys play defense...I don't want this guy if he will be playing like this.

I agree. I've said that for ages. Dude tries his hardest out there and deserved that goal.

since last years postseason series. Boyle was killing it.

he gets one goal now people love him he still sucks.

 

[Fitzy]

I want to like Holtby... but he has done precisely nothing to earn the level of arrogance he displays. The guy's biggest accomplishment is being an ECHL all star.

 

[Ryan McDonut]

it just looks bad because they collapse too much and get pinned in their zone. you can't let mike green do what he wants on the point at ES

He himself doesn't deserve hate, it's the way his coach uses him that gives him that hate.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Agreed, absolutely MISERABLE

Callahan, as captain, really needs to step up.

Normally I'd say he's just pressing, but he has stretches where he plays hard and where he doesn't. Just very odd play from the guy.

 

[Kakko]

The refs need to tell the Caps to slow down on the interferences. They're hitting random guys left and right

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

I agree. I've said that for ages. Dude tries his hardest out there and deserved that goal.

Same here. He plays hard and is nice defensively and wins a lot of draws. If he used his size more he'd be legit.

 

[BB58]

3rd year in a row of playoff struggles. I don't what it is with him.

Playoffs are very physical, I think stepan is intimidated by it.

 

[Riverdale]

Doesn't matter if we win this game. If Stepan, Cally and Nash don't get something goin we have no chance in this series.
