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

[Atax]

Time to age ourselves 5-10 years due to stress. LGR!

How far do they need to go for you not to lose your mind?

 

[broadwayblue]

Just get after that defense. They are thinner than thin. Top guys should feast on them and bottom six should hit them nonstop

Do we know if their guys are in fact out?

 

[Profet]

How far do they need to go for you not to lose your mind?

Winning 16 games...

Who am I kidding... I'm def losing my mind when they win 16 games.

Brancy got to be singing right ?

Brancy got to be singing right ?

He will be, yes.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Really, really hoping Panarin shows up in high gear. He's the x-factor.

If he isn't able to create much when checking tightens and penalties are more rare, then we're just a good playoff team; if he is able to translate his game from this regular season, then we're one of the top contenders.

 

[Mike in Houston]

Brancy got to be singing right ?

Yes. The Rangers are 7-4 in the playoffs when he sings.

Lots of hopeful talk on the Caps pregame

I may be stuck with the ESPN feed. That sucks!

Well to be fair they are playing with house money. Pressure is 100% on us. Regardless, just win.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Guess the caps injured guys aren’t back, that makes it even more imperative the rangers jump out and take control of this series.

I'll be watching on ESPN because MSG+ can't cast correctly to the TV

For any of my hfboard sisters and brothers that haven’t watched any capital games this year. Be prepared for a team that plays the trap from the puck drop. They don’t even wait to get a lead.

[duhmetreE]

So we’re doing this in an hour. Wild. We’re so heavily favored, have superior depth and talent at every position and their former coach so why does this team’s history make me so nervous?

I won’t feel comfortable with any lead. In game or series. PTSD
