Post-Game Talk: Game # 29 Rangers @ Capitals - 7pm EST - MSG, NHLN

[Leonardo87]

Scored those 9 goals a game too early lol

Could have used a few of those goals from last game. Can they carry them over? Lol.

 

[bl02]

and with all the one goal loses has this team ever come close to scoring with their goalie pulled?

 

[darko]

Sorry, I forgot Emile Heskey.

That's a weird way of spelling Bruno Fernandes

 

[CommaSynapse]

All the positivity goes out the window in about 1 minute. Defense not clearing out up front along with a goalie moving laterally to play the one-timer. It's going to happen.

Wilson will be targeting Lindgren tomorrow.

Kakko and Laf had around 11:30 of ice time. They should be on the PP.

 

[2Leetch_94]

as long as the Rangers don't score more than 1 f***ing goal their chances are bad. You can't rely on any goalie to get a shutout, especially a 2nd one in a row, in order to win.

You can when he's basically asked to do next to nothing all game.

 

[Kovalev27]

How many times have we seen Georgiev get beat and then get beat again immediately after. Just completely loses his composure. He throws games away. That rebound I’m just amazed by it. Horrible.

 

[Embryo]

I’m out. Can’t handle this year anymore. Go Mets.

I'm a Mets fan as well, but don't expect anything.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

David Quinn with a big sigh of relief with this loss lol

 

[Richard Banger]

This season was lost when Igor hurt his vagina. This guy is made from glass.

Have you ever hurt your groin? And are you a professional player who’s well being literally depends on having a long career? Just because you don’t have a job doesn’t mean Igor wants to lose his.

 

[Mac n Gs]

They had some amazing chances early, but Vanicek made some great saves. They were the better team, finally have a healthy roster, and are playing really well going into an important stretch. They just need the goaltending to stabilize and be even 20% of what it was last season

 

[Black Aces]

Laviolette saw something in the D and took advantage of it.

What did they see? That our goalie vacates the crease by 5 feet?

 

[bl02]

Alex the great destroys Alex the garbage

 

[SnowblindNYR]

This has to be the worst team at coming back in the 3rd period in history. 0 f***ing threat in the final minutes.

 

[LOFIN]

When you give up f***ing 16 shots and 99% of them of low quality you blame the f***ing goalie.

The goals were scored on high quality shots, thus doesn't matter shit what happened before.

 

[mike14]

Disappointing loss, but if we play that way most nice we should win more than we lose. We probably made 3 obvious defensive mistakes all game and got burned on 2 on them.
Caps goalie was the #1 star
Our PP (and 6v5) is far too static and needs a change up. Swap Kakko and Blackwell, also wouldn't mind seeing Chytil at wing (although it would mean 3rd line minutes for Rooney).
Overall the D played a really good game and our PK was great again.

3 stars:
Panarin
Fox
Lindgren
HM: Strome and Trouba

inconsistency and a total lack of a spine is the modus operandi of the team this season. they face the tiniest bit of adversity and they collapse. that’s on the entire organization from management to coaching to personnel. its a hill they have to climb over if they have any hope of success in the playoffs.

they played an anazing 53+ minutes but completely fell apart. the tying goal completely demoralized them. it sucks. it hurts. it’s frustrating. and, worst of all, it’s totally predictable.

this team has the talent to defeat any team in a 7 game series. they have the talent to blow out teams on a nightly basis. they don’t have the consistency or will to do so. we played so well just to play so poorly. one bad play is all it takes. but one bad play quickly became two bad plays, and it’s why we have the record we have.

 

[IronBloodedLion]

This may be unpopular, but I really dislike that youth line. It’s just way too inexperienced and they don’t sustain any pressure. Kakko was at his best this season playing with Strome and Panarin IMO.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

That sucked. When is Igor coming back?

 

[Machinehead]

That's a weird way of spelling Bruno Fernandes

Sorry again. I was only counting guys who have goals from open play.

 

[wafflepadsave]

That’s the difference between us and them . Their 1st ov is a generational talent and has won multiple games by himself.

 

[G46]

We played well, not going to complain about this loss. It was nice to feel the stress of a tight well played game.

you should complain. You should always complain when goaltending fails.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Oh and the kids line SUCKS.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Have you ever hurt your groin? And are you a professional player who’s well being literally depends on having a long career? Just because you don’t have a job doesn’t mean Igor wants to lose his.

Don’t even bother bro, even a Hall of Fame goalie wasn’t good enough for his standards.

 

[Black Aces]

David Quinn with a big sigh of relief with this loss lol

Another L on his record

 

[MysticLeviathan]

I don't get the meltdowns.

We were the better team. Best goal-scorer who ever lived won the game by himself.

It's the same game the Capitals have won 300 times.

its the second goal that sealed the deal for me. one bad play shouldn’t spell the end of the game, but for this team it consistently does.
