GDT: MDF #5 - 05/08/15 | washington capitals @ New York Rangers | 7:00 - NBCSN

[we want cup]

Rangers can't score. Sticks are afraid. I ask Jobu to come. Take fear from sticks.

 

[Wolfy*]

Our beloved Rangers...tonight it's do or die. Holtby must be solved!

 

[UlfNilsson]

Holtby is a pedestrian goaltender. It's the Caps D scheme that needs to be broken. They've been clogging up the slot every game and not allowing for decent scoring changes. Holtby is nothing to worry about. I can think of maybe 1-2 difficult saves he's made this series. What we need to worry about is the lack of adjustments made by AV to counter their approach.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Could the Rangers for once since the Mark Messier era get over themselves and play outside of the rules for a bit.

If the whistle has been swallowed, and you are facing elimination, you need to fight fire with fire.

But then the ice would melt?

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Are we sacraficing animals to the idiols now?

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Is this the last GDT until October or?

 

[bl02]

are the other guys allowed to do that?

Get Nash away from that horrible center man who can even get an assist. That will surely wake up the beast

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Definitely a win is a win but if its 0-0 going into the third or 1-1 how confident will you really be this team will score a huge goal the way their top scorers have been scoring?

No confidence at all to be honest

Lol

 

[Feed The Beast]

Holtby is a pedestrian goaltender.

Do you really believe this, or does it just make you feel better to say it?

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Last time we lost 3 in a row was November I believe.

Someone posted it before. Im pretty sure it was Games 2-4 of the season.

 

[silverfish]

One game at a time.

 

[hockeykicker]

Someone posted it before. Im pretty sure it was Games 2-4 of the season.

Also November 13,15,17

We have lost the luxury of being tied in the third or even second period after losing game 4. This team needs to play from ahead tonight. Our best player can't score goals unfortunately.

Hopefully AV included that bit of information in one of his pep talks today.

This is literally the most frustrating thing about the Rangers. They are, or seem, so concerned with playing an ultra-clean sterilized game, completely within the rules as they are written. Just once I want to see them take liberties on people along the boards, in front of the net, after whistles. They may go in to the dirty areas, but most of the time they don't get too dirty. In so many other games I catch, all I see are people getting beyond abused along the boards with some brutal shoves and checks to the opposing player's back..I can't remember seeing the Rangers do this too often. Subscribe to the Babcock School of Legal Interference. Everyone else does it, why haven't the Rangers caught on and done the same?

 

[bl02]

Maybe now is the time to really let Yandle join the rush and get some numbers? Limit the chance for the caps to block every single damn shot?! Or will it be counterproductive and open up too much ice for the caps?

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Just score goals. I don't care how they're scored, just do it please. Thank you.

 

[Reaganomics]

Offense has to step up. Need a big game from Nash, Stepan and the top 6 in general. McD needs to find his game from last year. Hank can't afford to let in a softie tonight, I'm feeling confident that he won't though.

Holtby's playing well, but the Rangers haven't tested him enough. More bodies in front of the net and make him work for it.

Don't you remember Marc Staalgate? Pens fans were convinced Staal was trying to end Crosby out there!

 

[Siddi]

If there ever was a must win game...

 

[LieutenantLackluster]

Just score goals. I don't care how they're scored, just do it please. Thank you.

This. Park Nash in front of Holtby and just aim for his ass for all I care.

 

[DeadPuck]

Just throw the puck at the net, something has to go in

 

[Sirius Vivace]

Well, if the Rangers were holding anything back in the last game...it needs to be released tonight. Tonight we will see a Rangers team at the height of desperation. Let's follow Montreal's lead and own this game.

 

[RangerFan23]

Really need a win, because I am NOT ready to focus on the Yankees yet.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

There needs to be line changes. Needs.
