ECQF: (Game 3 ) Rangers @ Capitals / 7 ET / TNT

[Profet]

Was that Strome missing the yawning empty net wide?

 

[sbjnyc]

No shots by rangers halfway through period.

 

[Summer Rose]

Another close call for Washington, but they can't finish it.

 

[Praetorian Caps]

Wow, Rangers get it right back. Is there something in the air tonight?

 

[trilobyte]

Those saves by Shesterkin is why you really don't want, for example, a Skinner or a Talbot or a Samsanov or a..... if you have hopes for a long run

 

[sbjnyc]

It’s almost like they’re trying to make it look like they’re trying to win.

 

[dreadpirateroberts]

Cristall has a higher ceiling than Leonard.

Totally forgot about him. Gonna be real interesting to see if the skating can develop

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Anyone claiming that the Refs are trying to let the Caps back in the game by giving them powerplays has not watched the Capitals powerplay.

1st PP in the league since the all star game. That PP?

Cristall has a higher ceiling than Leonard.

LOL

No he doesn't

Not even close. What a very strange take

Leonard is more established and closer to stepping into the NHL on a regular basis, and had an obviously incredible season with the freshman line at Boston College. This isn't intended as a slight to Leonard. This is simply an evaluation of the ceiling of the prospects, the best case scenario for their development. Cristall has more development left on his road, but his potential is outstanding.

 

[OilWagon]

What a lame call

 

[Irishguy42]

No shots by rangers halfway through period.

That's fine b/c Caps couldn't be overly threatening this period if they tried.

 

[Summer Rose]

That's fine b/c Caps couldn't be overly threatening this period if they tried.

To be fair on them, I think they're actually trying. It's just not working out very well for them, and Shesterkin has come up with some timely saves.

 

[Hivemind]

Okay, Run Shesty after that

 

[RoyalDuder]

AW let Igor have it!

 

[Irishguy42]

Caps have the chance to do the funniest thing these next few games

 

[5cotland]

Shesty

A little more height but a super 1st Star performance.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Easy peasy, even with the lopsided reffing in favor of the caps LMAO.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

sad to see Ovechkin go out this way

He’s just such a non factor

 

[Chainshot]

Ovi denies Shesty the ENG.

 

[noncents]

love seeing caps fans talk prospect upside in a playoff game thread

 

[Saitama]

I wish the Caps were a bit more of a challenge so that the Rangers can prepare better for the second round. I normally wouldn't talk about the second round before the first one is done, but.....

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Ovi denies Shesty the ENG.

Thankfully Ovi will be able to sleep well tonight knowing that.

It’s ok, Canes are playing a team just as bad.

 

[5cotland]

Hahahaha John Carlson got the second star

 

[BB79]

Caps new limo will be at game 4 I hear

They're cooked. I'm hoping they can win one, anyway
