Post-Game Talk: Lower cased

[EdJovanovski]

No vote for Panarin?
U feeling alright?

He was #4

 

[DanielBrassard]

Rangers won that game easily and I don’t think they played all that great. At least with the puck. Defensively they were excellent, caps have no speed so the rangers biggest weakness is going to be hard to exploit. 4th line was fantastic.

 

[Atax]

Will the Rempe haters please take a seat and eat some crow.

 

[Boris Zubov]

strong stiff elbow by Rempe on Malyenstnye on vesey's goal. Right to the jaw.

Good.

 

[Levitate]

Did anyone else feel like that was near the most boring playoff games they've ever watched?

Don't get me wrong, the Rangers abused the Caps. But this is going to be a long series to watch, even if it only goes 4, if that's all the Caps can muster.

Caps aren't an exciting team and they try to make sure the other team isnt exciting either. It was never going to be a pretty series, but it's obviously there for the taking

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Really not sure what the Caps were whining about at the buzzer?

Rempe scoring the first goal on the 2024 playoffs for the Presidents’ Trophy winning Rangers. Go back to his draft day and picture that being a thing that happened just a couple years later lol.

 

[Mike in Houston]

And yet another playoff goal by that overrated bum Chris Kreider.

 

[ArPanet]

The Legend of Matt Rempe grows

 

[Levitate]

Because, unfortunately, it works for them to an extent.

The fact that the third goal was even discussed is absolutely hilarious. They also started calling the Rangers tight on faceoffs the moment we went up 3-0.

Good on the Rangers for putting up with that shit and working through it. They dominated.

eh they were calling the caps on the faceoffs too and they were v. mad about it

Someone photoshop Rempe's head over Lundqvist in his smoothie picture.

Seriously every time the Caps entered the zone I thought it was offsides because they were moving so slowly.

 

[hackeyman]

Honestly it doesn't feel right that Rempe didn't get a game misconduct.

For playing so good !

 

[UnSandvich]

in terms of xGF, the Trocheck line, Wennberg line, Goodrow line, and Fox Pair were all at least 58% or better.

Top on the night was Kakko, who finished at 93.75%.

He's a weapon. To the NHL, to teams.

The Refs too. Penalizing him for being tall. He'll force some issues here.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Caps fans claiming we scored two goals on penalties we got away with. True?

 

[Dfence033]

It was better than the isles/canes.

It’s the talent gap, the refs trying to slow the game down somewhat so the caps can stay close. We get into a rhythm and they don’t have an answer

I thought the Isles Canes game was at least entertaining. The Isles gave them all they could handle, especially when gifted a powerplay goal that should have been called a dive 1 minute into the game.

This was simply not that entertaining. To steal from prior announcers, it felt very "academic." The outcome was pretty much never in doubt.

Kakko was incredible today

If we're being real, Kakko and Laf were probably our best forwards.

The only guys I really had beef with in this game were Kreider and Cuylle (Zib to a lesser extent but he did good things along with the ass things) and Kreider scored lol

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Maybe one. Laf could have been called for one. The other one was nothing, unless being run into is a penalty.

 

[hackeyman]

For anyone who doesn’t yet know, Schneider is a beast.

I think he did surprise quite a few this year.

 

[Alluckks]

Missed the game (on vacation) but was following the score. So team looked pretty good today?

Saw Rempe got a goal which made me chuckle a bit. How was it?

From this game the actual only thing that I am worried about at all this series is Wilson trying to injure someone. He took several runs at Mika with relatively late hits that went uncalled and basically kept trying to p***y foot around starting stuff after every whistle. Threw some punches with his gloves on late in the game.

 

[Hire Sather]

Egg all over my face with Rempe scoring lol

 

[Dfence033]

Caps fans claiming we scored two goals on penalties we got away with. True?

I assume they mean the the 3rd goal, but not sure what Rempe is expected to do. Guy tried to run through him to get to the puck. Maybe interference? But we'd see 12 powerplays per team if they called it that close.

No idea what other goal they might mean, though. Sounds like they are looking for excuses after being clowned.

 

[Levitate]

Caps fans claiming we scored two goals on penalties we got away with. True?

Nah

The Laf hit was shoulder to shoulder and the guy even tried to brace for it. you gotta expect contact that and if you're leaning forward off balance and then bracing to take the hit it'snot gonna always work out good

on the vesey goal who knows, incidental contact for the most part and I"m gonna be all playoff posting and say Carlsson was trying to sell it

That’s not necessarily good hockey though. The islanders don’t play clean hockey. The canes are frantic but can play clean.
Also please note I’m not talking about penalties, I’m talking connecting passes, I’m talking about moving with the puck and cycling properly, or hitting seam passes.
