GDT: Game # 54 - Cinco de Mayo - Rangers vs Capitals - 7pm - NBCSN

[Number 9]

I'm surprised no Geersten yet he's not far though 1.5 hours so still time. I feel like it needs to happen in this rare instance.

 

[Lion Hound]

The entire hockey world is watching this one.

I think those expecting an all-out brawl will be disappointed, but by the same token, those that expect nothing to happen are, I think, out to lunch. Everyone in our locker room is seriously pissed, tempers will flare. And with so many kids in our lineup who are critical to our future and have such bright careers ahead of them, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous and not in a good way. I am not looking forward to this game.

That is, of course, if we don't stage some sort of protest/walk out.

This would be the equivalent of "Im taking my ball and going home if you're not going to play my way". Seriously, like you need to have ZERO compete level and ZERO heart to orchestrate that. If they did that, and didn't stand up against this team and at least try. I don't care if they fight, but they need to show up, be physical and win the damn game for Panarin.

 

[Profet]

Can Bickel take the faceoff tonight? I hear he is pretty good at them.

If you know what I'm talking about... you know what I'm talking about.

 

[The Old Master]

i never thought that i would be pulling for the rangers. but... you guy's need to crush the cap's where it hurts the most. on the score sheet. go rangers!

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Come out for warm-ups all wearing Panarin jerseys, and then just not come out for the game. Forfeit it.

They're eliminated anyway, so it's whatever.

Shit draft and we have enough prospects, I don't care if they take away our entire draft for this next year. Only problem is it's at MSG right?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

BTW, am I the only one that has no interest in watching a meaningless game without half our team to see one Brendan Smith hugging match with Tom Wilson?

 

[tlk]

Beat them into ketchup?

If they don't want to do it the Caps way, the Hulktard way and intentionally injure an opponent - and brag about it feeling pride - it's the only way left to go. I hope for an on ice message, but I know it won't happen.

[Zats Muccarello]

Wish we had Kreider to run their goalie

I think it's safe to say that without the agenda no one would be too excited about this game. Besides the usual stuff at this point like the kid watch.
But as many have already surmised, we'll probably go out with a whimper and the whole thing would end up as boring as if there was no said agenda.
Simply winning would probably be at the high-end of my realistic expectations.

 

[Rangerboy030]

Holy shit

 

[tlk]

The credit card's done it for me

 

[Siddi]

Still angry. And the fact that the spineless mods over at the Caps forum is allowing that embarrasment of GDT-title is cherry on the top. Congrats Caps, you managed to overtake the Habs as my 3-rd most hated fanbase.

 

[Overcast]

Well, now I know what my next tattoo is going to be.

 

[Joe Ranger Fan 1960]

This is going to be hard to watch. The Rangers come out with some milquetoast statement imploring protection that won't come and now they have to take the ice and stand up for themselves with a squad that is not physically or emotionally mature enough to handle it. Our boys in blue deserved to get rag-dolled all night. If it happens, it's on Quinn, Gorton and JD. Weak like MSG circus lemonade.

 

[Richard Banger]

No one needs to fight. Just tell Lindgren and smith to step up on the blue line all night. No matter who it is no matter how many odd man rushes you give up. Make sure the caps know they need their heads up all night tonight.

but this prob won’t happen cuz Quinn is a p***y and will have the team lay down and take it cuz it’s not the right thing to do.

 

[Cmox]

The support the Rangers are getting from around the league and from hockey fans is really awesome. I'd never expect it.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Different era but man I would love to see some of these tonight.

I thought the Modano one was bad, but holy I haven't seen these other ones that were 10x worse.

Lindgren is out for the season

 

[Jackson Ranger]

An uneventful fight or two. A lot of penalties called, refs aren't going to let this get out of hand. A chippy start and then after 10 minutes, things settle down and the rest of the game is played without incident.
I think the Rangers should shoot low, around the cup area whenever Wilson is on this ice...or have one get away that is at his head...kidding...maybe!!! HAHA

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

after 1st game of the season this is probably the most anticipated one.

Buchnevich has a temper on him, I have a feeling he does something.

Surely it's just media circus? Can't take Laraque or Avery at face value now can we.

 

[MrAlmost]

I would put the chances of Laf, Kakko, Chytil, Krav or Fox getting hurt tonight pretty high. I dont condone gooning it up, but you just never know with the Caps. They are a big, physical and mean team. I hope no one gets hurts.
