Post-Game Talk: capitals @ RANGERS

[GoAwayPanarin]

Then maybe 1971-2, with Ratelle, Hadfield and Park?

Nailed it.

It's been almost 50 years. Damn you're old.

Tornado? Where? What area?

Nashville got hit pretty bad just a few days ago.

I started watching the Rangers the next year.

Are they common there?

 

[Rempe73]

Ok I’m back to liking Hank.

Trouba has lowkey had a string of really solid games.

 

[Metranger]

I wish I could like this 100 times. Are you me?

No. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn.

Shhhh, don't tell EdJov. He might cry

 

[Irishguy42]

Are they common there?

Not sure about the Nashville area specifically, but tornadoes (especially at night time) are a common occurrence in Tennessee.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Tornado? Where? What area?

Nashville

All this Ovechkin talk and Zibby out there pulling off a Gretzky in front of him.

As a Rangers fan in the Ottawa area this is like Christmas seeing Sens fans reactions.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Guys I read here that he's not as good as ROR and therefore we can't win the cup.

 

[Rempe73]

I was told he had no shot.

Fair enough. It looks better recently. I mean, it’s about average. He got most his goals as a teenager with his hands and instincts. Look at DeAngelo, his shot isn’t great but yet he has 14 goals.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

They're a smart summer away from being an actual contender next year.

They have the ammunition to do some pretty major shit too.

 

[Kovalev27]

Remember Saturday the islanders play the hurricanes so someone is going to take a tough L. They play each other one more time too.

We win Saturday we’ll gain some more ground on one of them

What a game to be at!

The Garden was rocking all night. Never going to forget a night like this.

If anyone had any questions about how good Zibanejad is, that was put to bed tonight

Lost my voice! What an experience!

Staal is 2012, McDonagh in 2015, Stepan in game 7 and now Mika in 2020. Speechless.

Zibby is a top 5 center. Don't want to hear anything else.

 

[bobbop]

I was at the game the night Gaborik hung 5 on The King. This was a lot more fun.

Wore my gaborik jersey tonight. Coincidence!

DeAngelo has a very good shot, it's just a little too weak to be considered a great point shot. He's scored most of his goals from "forward positions" this year.

Makes sense. He used to play as a forward.

Winning a cup in 2 years confirmed

It’s funny the 1991-92 Rangers came up. I was thinking the other day how this team kind of reminds me of them.

Obviously, they aren’t en route to a President’s Trophy this season. But the multiple high-end rookies, the blend of veteran talent and young talent in their early 20s, etc. There’s a weird sense of overlap, even though on the surface it wouldn’t inherently appear there is.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

So this is going to interest no one but me but kind of crazy that the last two 5 goal games were on my dad's and uncle's birthdays.

 

[Fitzy]

Team has a very solid core to build around.

Just need Kakko to break out, and fill out the defense a little bit, and we're in good shape moving forward.

Bring back Strome, Fast, and DeAngelo, and no doubt this is a playoff team at the least next season.
