Post-Game Talk: Capitals @ Rangers Game 6: HANK HANK HANK HANK!

If Rangers expect Hank to do that again in Washington, then we are screwed. They need to score, so from an offensive standpoint, that was not a good game.

From a defensive standpoint, terrific game. Boyle, Callahan, Stepan, Dorsett and even Pyatt turned in terrific defensive games.

McD and Girardi have shut down Ovechkin and really given this team a chance to win. I've really been happy with Eminger's performance. He's ugly sometimes out there, but he isn't afraid to get into with the opposing team and he's solid back there.

Been saying for a while Anton Stralman is this team's X-Factor on defense and today he proved it. Outstanding performance. Absolutely outstanding. And that hit he delivered on Chimera was just textbook. A+ for Stralman today.

Hank. (that's all I have to say about him)

My point exactly.
 
What I saw should have been worth four minute double - slew foot first followed by cross check. Caps should be thankfull they got only two minute PK.

Something wrong when a cross check to the face of a fallen player after being slewfooted cannot take into account the fact that his face was cut.
BS ruling that should be fixed.
 
Richards with less than 10 minutes of ice time. Torts starting to realize how bad beav is.
 
Maybe next season, the Rangers will have a player who will take matters into his own hands, and fix the problem of a player like Ribeiro, Green or Fehr who take liberties.
 
The question is how we win the away game. It's been home perfect so far and it has so much with the crowd and the energy. You're not going to be able to stymie the home team for more than 1 period. It'll be a test of the will.
 
Sather deserves some credit. Nash, Richards and Callahan should give half their playoff earnings to Hank and the other half to Brassard and Moore.
 
Is it really any surprise that fans of the Caps and Pens are insufferable? No team has more bandwagon fans than either of those two teams.

Started a new job early last month. My team lead/peer is a Capitals fan. He started following the Caps in the early to mid 90's. He's also a fan, and knows the team's history. He even says that the "newer" post-Ovechkin fans are tough to take.

Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day.

Great job today,good luck tomo boys @HLundqvist30 @BRichards_1991 @CarlHagelin @RMcDonagh27 @DerekStepan21

Just gained a ******** of respect for Gaborik
 
If Boyle's skates had hit Henke when Ward threw him skates first into the goal at high speed, Marty would've finished the game for us - that was fugly...

Players that needs to step up tomorrow; Richards, Nash, Steps and Cally

Players that needs to play like they did today; Henke, Brassard, zuke and Asham
 
To be honest, I think we can win tomorrow if we play the same way. We fore-checked hard, got chances and put in the effort. No one should downplay the great game Holtby had.
 
Lundqvist was great today, but I think the Rangers did a better job of limiting high quality chances. There's No reason why he can't play this well again tomorrow. He's a star and needs to play like that for this team to have a chance.
 
Maybe next season, the Rangers will have a player who will take matters into his own hands, and fix the problem of a player like Ribeiro, Green or Fehr who take liberties.

This game, they played it just right. 1 - 0 against a top PP, not the time to be worrying about retaliation.

Rangers have to score a few quickly. If they could somehow get 2 in the first ten minutes, and maybe get another on a power play late in the first, it could put some doubt in the Caps, and the bandwagoners might shut up.

Really about the only way I see the Rangers winning tomorrow.
