GDT: ECQF: Game 1 - New York Rangers vs Washington Capitals, 3pm ET, ESPN, MSG

[TominNC]

So, that thing about penalties not being called in the playoffs?

 

[LeetchisGod]

Need to be much better. Same old Rangers so far.

 

[17futurecap]

Refs realized how boring the play at five on five is

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

Sutherland is one of the worst officials in this league

 

[will1066]

How far ahead? Did we win the game?

I know the apes take over the planet

 

[EdJovanovski]

I shouldn’t be hating the refs more than hating the Capitals. So bush league

 

[CasusBelli]

Kakko is skating very well.

Amazing what a Red Bull with Mountain Dew, an epidural in the leg and Addy can do.

 

[Mandar]

Rangers owned the puck that period. Good things will happen

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

That was decent. Good control. Just need to create more scoring chances.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Hate to say this but very boring game so far

 

[duhmetreE]

We should be better as the game goes along

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Ovechkin is washed up. Guy barely moves his legs. At this point all he's there for is to stand in one spot on the PP and shoot when it comes to him.

If they can't bury this team then they don't deserve to win.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Zibanejad and Kreider continue to do nothing at 5v5 and ruin the PP.

Rempe had more possession in the offensive zone than those 2 clowns.

 

[duhmetreE]

Some players just don’t look sharp or engaged

 

[Ail]

Snoozefest but at least its 0-0

 

[TominNC]

Why are you guys worried about the refs calling it tight? That completely plays into our hands.

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

Sonny Milano looks like a generative AI drawing of a hockey player from the 70's.

A couple of my friends poured shampoo in his hockey bag at open hockey once loll. Guys a douche

 

[Machinehead]

Pretty much what I expected.

The Caps are an exceptionally boring hockey team and we're not exactly the 1984 Oilers at even strength.

 

[DoTheBlue]

That period was rather mundane.

 

[will1066]

Amazing what a Red Bull with Mountain Dew, an epidural in the leg and Addy can do.

He can't do any of that because of his celiac

 

[Daves a mess]

Say the refs full names in anger amongst your family And friends

And all your social media too.

That's exactly what gives them wood like cocobola.

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

So much for the “refs will let everything go in the playoffs.”

Sutherland calling this one tighter than everyone’s puckered bum.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Sutherland is one of the worst officials in this league

They're all trash. All of them. linesmen included. Gutter trash.

How many times do the linesmen have to make us watch them kick guys out of the circle.

Wastes of space.

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

5v5: Expected goals .61-.01 Rangers.

So let’s calm down about that too. If that’s how we play defensively moving forward, we are gonna be very happy.

 

[haveandare]

Tons of calls benefits the rangers. We are one of the better special teams squads in the league.

Also generally a team that gets better as games go on
