Post-Game Talk: Game #25: New York Rangers @ Washington Capitals, 7pm ET, MSG

[Kords]

Just there. Fox with the puck skating down the boards and no one in front of the net. Why??

Too much work. Could get an ouchie.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Who did Trouba try to truck there?

Milano

 

[effen]

Milano almost died of shock a Ranger did something about a Capital player waltzing around doing whatever they wanted.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Wouldn't you just take the mil and then pay some rando like $50k to kick Mika's arse?
Work smarter not harder...

No guarantee he would wear steel toe boots.

 

[Daves a mess]

Good. They need to be shut out. I don't want any positives to take away from this. I want them feeling like shit and doing something about it.

I thought Ottawa was going to be that game

 

[tlk]

Truba the hair police.. Maybe he should try to run Zib

 

[mike14]

No guarantee he would wear steel toe boots.

For $50k I reckon you could make that a guarantee. You could even supply them

 

[effen]

I thought Ottawa was going to be that game

Laviolette sugar coated the shit out of the postgame. That's not happening this time.

 

[savebyrichter94]

Oh great we get the Kings backup haha

 

[Megustaelhockey]

The Caps have taken their foot off the gas here.

 

[Maliks PlusMinus]

2019 was the best one and Gordon gets assassinated if he takes anyone but Kakko. Ditto Lafreniere.

We should have just kept bullets in the chamber and not gone all in on this.

I know Suzuki and Caufield for example were in those drafts. They are certainly top 6 forwards. There are plenty better than what we took.

But my issue is more the idea that the answer is to keep going to drafts. I hated the idea of tanking and always will. Buffalo are still a joke and they've been at the top of the draft for ages. Same happened with the Oilers and they're hardly convincing now.
We got number one and two and seven and nine. Why would we keep being sub-standard?
We were able to be better and it wasn't to do with the prospects. Could we have lucked out and got Bedard? Yeah, could have, probably wouldn't though.

I don't think this team wins a cup, but i'll take my chances on it over losing season on season to hope to hit lucky in the top 10.

 

[Fitzy]

Is it too late in the season to convince Blake Wheeler to pursue another line of work? He's eligible for the presidency...

 

[effen]

For this who haven't watched the whole thing, I can't reiterate enough how easy this game has been for Washington.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Have them walk back to NYC.

 

[mike14]

I thought Ottawa was going to be that game

Ottawa was the preview, this is the show, LA will be the after party

 

[duhmetreE]

Have them walk back to NYC.

everyone but the Panarin line and Pitlick

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Laf our best player again.

 

[Draft Guru]

gonna get shutout by Charlie f'n Lindgren

 

[mike14]

Between Wilson and Trouba you'd be lucky to hit 100 points of IQ....

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Tom wilson finally comes out of hiding now that Reaves is gone

 

[effen]

The Caps have taken their foot off the gas here.

The Rangers are rolling down the hill inside a tire.

 

[lakeshirts37]

Between Wilson and Trouba you'd be lucky to hit 100 points of IQ....

eh trouba is a smart dude

 

[Megustaelhockey]

No shots for us this period? Did I hear that right?

 

[mike14]

Laf our best player again.

And even he's been disappointing when the puck has been on his stick in good scoring positions. At least he's getting to those dangerous spots though

 

[egelband]

Milano

Saw the replay after, got him pretty square. Thought he totally whiffed, at first glance.
