Post-Game Talk: Horrifying Act of Violence

[SnowblindNYR]

We've seen this commercial 12,000 times and they haven't gotten any better.

I'm not sure why everyone singles out that commercial when we're force fed the one about the tendy and great wall of pillows.

So glad we got the sweep.

It helps so much.

I thought Trouba had a great 3rd period.

I still want to see more from the younger guys like Laf, KK & Cuyle.

The whole squad needs to be way better in the next series... but they absolutely got from point A to B exactly how I had hoped.

Good job boys!

Put Ros with Panarin to get him going. Dress Chytil and move Laf with him and Kakko to resurrect the Kid Line. Laf is getting a taste of playoff level line shutdown matching

 

[SML2]

He was absolutely invisible, even on the PP. Goodrow and Rempe both outscored him.

I didn't want to jinx it but that dude looks like he's dying out there. I have maintained all along that he will not break Gretzkys record and I will call it now, father time will stop him on the goal line. No way that guy puts 30+ in next year.

You're just sensitive to goaltending

 

[mrmovies779]

Wenny much better tonight. He’s not coming out with the PK role. Rempe maybe gets a hand against Canes but I think he’s the odd man out next round. Yes unnecessary against a team without a heavyweight

Rempe shouldn't touch the ice at all next series..barring injuries

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I just thought about those Caps fans on the main board who had them sweeping us. LOL

i doubt they were serious

Vincenzo Trocheck at the presser

COMING THROUGH!!!

Vincenzo Trocheck at the presser

Would love to see how he plays in a series against Canes who let him walk

People single out that commercial because weirdos think that not liking the NBA is some kind of accomplishment.

I agree but I never thought he would get 30 this year either.

 

[Leonardo87]

I just realized something:

How f***ing poignant that the Caps clinched a playoff spot because of a stupid goalie pull (Flyers), and the Caps post-season comes crashing down also due to a horrible goalie pull.

Not going to lie, happy the Flyers didn’t make it. Their fans had been annoying me. I mean they would not have made it anyway since Detroit had won but still. Lol.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

Rempe shouldn't touch the ice at all next series..barring injuries

If that's because Chytil is 100%, I agree.

If that's because you'd rather play Brodzinski, you're smoking hella crack

[Kovalev27]

I understand what Rempe brings to the team I do. But against Carolina it seems criminal not to counter with a skating possession monster in chytil that will actually score. Wennberg cannot.

Just not sure Rempe can skate in that series. It’s going to be fast

 

[Riche16]

Now all we need to do is sit back & root for every other series to go 7.

Have been making my wife watch all the playoff hockey and she keeps saying "Who are you rooting for in this series?"

I say exactly this.

Rooting for tired, banged up teams in our future lol

 

[Kakko]

I appreciate the NBA because it makes me realize that NHL refereeing isn't all that bad

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Or just leave things alone and hope that Panarin remembers to shoot the puck and stops making stupid passes.

Shooting opens up the rest of his game. Almost hit Trocheck with a nasty pass in the 3rd that just eluded him which would have shut the lights out on the caps 13 minutes earlier than when they bagged the ENG. Realize how that line started generating more zone time once he just started firing SOG? It's not a coincidence.

Going nearly 8 full periods with out a SOG is not acceptable. Thats going to get him and the rest of his line (and the team) into trouble.

This is fair

 

[Tob]

We won this series faster than we got swept by the Canes in the play-in round.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

First two periods sucked. Third period was clinical. The entire series they just did enough to win. Lidgren was a non-factor, Igor was spectacular. I think the play of the skaters was closer than a sweep. Igor was just much much better than Lidgren. That said the skaters were to respond every time there was any doubt. The two times the Caps had a lead the Rangers responded with a goal almost immediately.

 

[Machinehead]

resurrect the Kid Line.

Sir, I'm going to need you to turn over your mouse and keyboard.

You've had enough for tonight.

 

[Kovalev27]

yeah but nobody else got to face off against the worst playoff team in 35 years....

Of course the Rangers earned this matchup by winning the Presidents trophy, thats what winning in the regular season should reward you with , unlike Dallas getting Vegas or Boston getting Florida.


But the Rangers played liked deep fried donkey dick for large portions of the series.

Shits not gonna cut against an actual good team, like Carolina.

Have you watched Carolina slog thru their series with the islanders? Far from pristine hockey.

We earned the match up we led or were tied all but 4 mins the entire series and won 4 straight games. Like there’s another nhl team over there.

[The New Russian Five]

Definitely a set play to give him some speed and movement cutting in for the shot

Yeah there is no way that was not a set play. In fact pretty much every power play goal felt like it was a set play. Whichever coach is running the Rangers PP right now should get a raise. He is making it very hard for other teams to come up with a plan to stop them.
