Just when we thought we finally had a competent offense for Hank lol again has the tougher workload. Thank god he's dialed in.

 

[Problematique]

That's too far for any of Staal, Girardi, or Klein to skate to in under 10 seconds.

Maybe Kreider can skate behind them and give them speed boosts. He sure as **** ain't doing anything else of use this game.

 

[iamitter]

Kreider made a lot of poor decisions with the puck that period.

 

[BB58]

MSL chance was ridiculous. He tried to stick handle instead of just quickly shooting.

This team thinks they have all the time in world. smh

That makes you wonder what in the world are they practicing before the game?

 

[The Gloaming]

Once again, we controlled the puck more but Washington had better chances.

 

[R2theDizzlE]

Maybe Kreider can skate behind them and give them speed boosts. He sure as **** ain't doing anything else of use this game.

Yet I have an odd feeling Kreider is going to score.

 

[trilobyte]

Kreider playing like a 5 year old is in his body. Or he freaky fridayed with MSL, only that MSL is still quite himself. More like Kreids has MSLitis.

Ok enough bichting. Great period of hockey. Goaltending GOATEST of all time. We fall down to much and have stupid stupid giveaways too many. Hold the grip guys!

I'm not gonna state the most obvious.

And that Fast hit looked very bad to me. Lucky no call?

I missed it but I certainly hope it was

 

[LORDE]

Sick of making goalies look like ****ing Hasek. I know he's playing well... Just not THIS well

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

well this is playing directly into the caps favor. Rangers have no confidence. Lucky to get 1. Henrik is going to have to be perfect.

 

[Raspewtin]

Once again, we controlled the puck more but Washington had better chances.

Completely disagree.

 

[BB58]

SO much Captain Mcd.

 

[NYRKING30]

MSL chance was ridiculous. He tried to stick handle instead of just quickly shooting.

This team thinks they have all the time in world. smh

It really is sickening to watch. Is it too much to ask for a one timer? Do the players know that it exists? Yet still nobody wants to go in-between the dots in front of Holtby.

 

[Wolfy*]

Still scoreless, punchless, same old crap. Is AV dumb or something? Put Kreider on the Brass line! Do something...you have nothing to lose.

 

[Captain Lindy]

Ovechkin allowed to pile drive Lundqvist. Too bad no one on this team would dare do the same to Holtby.

We all know that WE'D be called for it and the Rangers are scared ****less of their PP.

 

[Cassano]

We have 1 goal in the last two games and 1 period.

So he's supposed to have four shutouts this series. Gotcha.

right...its his fault

He should be better than Holtby this series, but he hasn't been unfortunately. Though, that speaks more positively on Holtby's performance, who has the best stats ever by a playoff goalie with 20+ GP.

 

[Ori]

So sad about this finishing - we should have 3-0 now.
Holtby ain't that good.

 

[Blue777]

Once again, we controlled the puck more but Washington had better chances.

I think MSL had the best chance so far.

 

[Machinehead]

Still scoreless, punchless, same old crap. Is AV dumb or something? Put Kreider on the Brass line! Do something...you have nothing to lose.

What he could do is put Boyle and Staal back together which was fine for 82 games, and put Yandle and Klein back together; a pairing that has absolutely dominated in Yandle's short time here.

 

[Black Aces]

Completely disagree.

The MSL save was the best one. Nothing else was high quality.

 

[2Leetch_94]

He should be better than Holtby this series, but he hasn't been unfortunately. Though, that speaks more positively on Holtby's performance, who has the best stats ever by a playoff goalie with 20+ GP.

Rangers offense should be better this series too so it's a wash.

 

[bl02]

We all said it. Hank will be hank no doubt. Rest of team just not that talented enough to distinguish themselves. They better in the second or better hope the hockey gods are watching in third

 

[Captain Lindy]

well this is playing directly into the caps favor. Rangers have no confidence. Lucky to get 1. Henrik is going to have to be perfect.

That's the thing though. Even if he was perfect we STILL can't score. We can't even get one.

There seems to be no leadership on this team. It's depressing.

 

[NYRKING30]

He should be better than Holtby this series, but he hasn't been unfortunately. Though, that speaks more positively on Holtby's performance, who has the best stats ever by a playoff goalie with 20+ GP.

And what at least a quarter of the games have been against the Rangers I'm guessing .

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Hank should be outplaying the other goalie too with his talent/pedigree. He hasn't been.

This mind set is ridiculous. Goalies aren't competing head to head, they're not facing identical shooters and chanced. Completely separate from each other.

 

[Raspewtin]

First 6 minutes, 13 ES attempts.

Rest of the period, 3.
