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

[ZiGOODejad]

I don’t care if this turns into a clown show. I would tell them all to start taking turns on going after Wilson.

 

[Kane One]

My point is Trouba and Kreider are our only skaters with the capability to floor opposition and they aren't here. Which sucks in a game like this.

A f***ing mid-teenager can punch Wilson when he’s not looking.

 

[Trueblue30]

It’s a real snoozer during the actual game action, for a game with 6 fights there is no after the whistle stuff at all

 

[Hire Sather]

Lol what did they do I'm at work watching the Mets get clowned

 

[Claude Reigns]

Not a Rangers fan (obviously), but I think this might be an important game for the future of your team. Getting skilled guys (you’ve got a bunch of them) to play together with grit and a sense of purpose is difficult...this could be a stepping stone.

 

[Fataldogg]

Lindgren neither

Yeah, forgot about Lindgren. We are missing a lot of our "grit."

I feel like our toughest guys in the line up are the average Capitals.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Having a bunch of fight with guys who can't really fight accomplishes nothing.

It sends a message to the league

 

[Tob]

Ok who fights next?

george. Then we send Hajek to fight Wilson again to take the automatic loss there but tire wilson out then send Gauthier when Wilson is too tired to overcome the sheer difference is power that Julien has. 3 fights is an auto suspension. Wilson will either be a bitch for backing down or get his suspension.

 

[patrick kitchin]

Flyers fan coming in peace. Keep it up. Your team is doing exactly what it should. F Wilson and F the NHL for not dealing with him. You guys should be proud.

 

[markpenske]

I want to see Wilson's teeth on the ice. All of them.

dont forget the blood

 

[LOFIN]

Having a bunch of fights with guys who can't really fight accomplishes nothing.

The Rangers sent a message. Not to the Caps, but for the league. This is the BS you will get for not suspending dirty plays. Vigilante justice.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Oh god we are going to trade Kravtsov for Evander Kane aren't we

no question

 

[LokiDog]

Smith’s not particularly good but I’ll give him some credit; he’s a true hockey player. Like a classic. He’d have been great in an era with less skill or much clutch and grab probably. He doesn’t do anything super well but he can skate, can make the occasional nice pass, flash some occasional hands, likes laying the big hit, scraps, etc. He’s kind of a throwback, just not a very good one. Too prone to lapses. Everything you’re saying makes sense but I just feel like Smith is gonna Smith. In other words, just play hockey. He seems loved by the guys. I wouldn’t be surprised if he still came out looking to throw some hits and endear himself. I think it’s just who he is.

Nailed it

 

[DialUp]

As weird as it is to say this game will help them grow as a team and will pay off in the long run

What will be left of the team after the Big Impatient has his way

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

We tried but we didn’t really get a pound of flesh. I am glad we tried though. Now throw some real hits make them remember this game damn it!

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Alright enough fights ITS CHEAP SHOT TIME!!! LET SOME HEADS ROLL!!!

I legit can't remember ever caring less about the on ice play.

 

[smitty10]

Love that the Rags have done this. Make a mockery of that bullshit call! Let's goooo!

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Fights were cute, now time to shatter Backstrom’s kneecaps

 

[tlk]

Interesting if it'll continue or they just vented the steam off and proceed as usual

 

[Kovalev27]

Really proud of Ryan Strome

 

[sabremike]

Dolan should've made peace with Oak and put him out there. He would've put the entire Caps team in the hospital.

 

[Fataldogg]

K'Andre Miller is 6'5" isn't he? Does he have experience scrapping? I'd love to find out.

 

[Machinehead]

Pierre's pearl clutching gives me life

 

[effen]

Zib looking scared really pisses me off.

He has played all year like someone who was told he's very likely to get a concussion. I don't blame him, but I don't want him on the team after this year either.

 

[Sayba]

I give the guys credit but why didn't we call up players for this.
