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

[Rempe73]

Lmao I love Rempe so much

 

[NYRangers16]

NHL refs. And NHL office. We will have to overcome this too.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Rangers were a bit loose that period, but can’t be mad. Really would like to see them sustain more offensive zone time though, caps d are terrible.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Playing well, stick to the structure and its in the bag. It fella apart quick when they started running around

 

[RangersFan1994]

Watch out, here comes Wilson to aggressively stand.

Watch him try to knock out Panarin

 

[Boris Zubov]

Solid period. ESPN cut away from the scuffle early.

Refs missed two obvious high sticks on the last shift by the Caps.

 

[bleedblue94]

Vesey is one of the best 4th liners we've had in the last 20 years.

His versatility is invaluable

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

The rempe call was bc he left his feet I think. He gave a slight hop when he made contact.

It was because he's Matt Rempe and the refs were probably told to keep him on a tight leash.

Nah. It was a BS call.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Just another blatant high stick missed

It's amazing with the crap that has been called. These refs have been simply awful.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Interesting how the Rangers only started cheating on faceoffs after they went up 3-0!

I love how the Caps could complain their way to a review of the third goal as well.

 

[Captain Lindy]

Bettman's orders I bet.

 

[MyLoveIsBlue]

I want Wilson permanently altered.

Neutered

 

[savebyrichter94]

How nice is it to finally have a physical element to our game? Even nicer that it’s coming from young guys with room to grow and there’s a few more on the way soon

 

[Filip Chytil]

Pretty sure the answer to this is yes, but am I the only one who thinks Mika has actually looked pretty good and the only reason everyone is castigating him is because they hate him?

Mika looks like he's energized from the last 6 days of tofu consumption

 

[Doctyl]

some of you are really complaining about a 60% xGF% and 77%HDCF% game? If this is your idea of bad, I don’t want to be whatever you think good is

 

[Gardner McKay]

I do want to see Rempe knock Wilson into next season.

 

[chosen]

Don't know if anyone already commented about this, but on the final faceoff of the period, announcer said Wennberg endowed.

 

[DialUp]

Rangers losing any game this series would be a sham

 

[bleedblue94]

It was because he's Matt Rempe and the refs were probably told to keep him on a tight leash.

Yup, and they were told to let Wilson do whatever he wants. There is not a rempe witch-hunt. People are so silly

 

[NYRangers16]

Solid period. ESPN cut away from the scuffle early.

Intentional. This is something that to me is unforgivable. A league's refs, putting there hand on the game. But I'm not fazed. Typical Bettman. Let's go. Adversity is the challenge.

 

[TheDirtyH]

the refs so obviously call Rempe differently than other players. Reminds me of Kreider when he first broke in. 2 mins for being scary to get hit by.

 

[Machinehead]

The relatively close score is keeping this in tact. We're gonna see fireworks if we pull away.

Where you been Doctyl. This board needs more of you.

 

[will1066]

Fun period.

Getting a bit spicy.

We called up Louie Domingue for that
