[SixGoalieSystem]

Nash and Callahan combined for an impressive ZERO shots in the game.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Man what a block from hero Zucc.

I hope he is okay. Scary way to try to block a shot.

“@AGrossRecord: Rick Nash, 0 shots through 60 minutes.”

“@AGrossRecord: Ryan Callahan 0 shots through 60 minutes.”

 

[Hemlawk86]

We're going to lose.

What are odds.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

I know its the playoffs. I know the Caps are a good team. I know momentum is supposed to shift back and forth, but this teams inability to show SOME moxie in every single period is maddening.

 

[The Gloaming]

Nash and Callahan combined for an impressive ZERO shots in the game.

so much facepalm.

 

[FATCHAMALA11]

Every time Hank plays his best the offense takes a night off. Maybe it's a handicap for Hotlby in the shots department.

 

[Callagraves]

“@AGrossRecord: Rick Nash, 0 shots through 60 minutes.â€

“@AGrossRecord: Ryan Callahan 0 shots through 60 minutes.â€

All it takes is one?

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Yes, please.
We do not have last year's deep forecheck and will not get that level of commitment back.

I agree, the weak 1-2-2 is not going to work if we are running lock. Rangers should either be more aggressive on the forecheck or start trapping in the neutral zone.

Problem is that Rangers start trapping with Boyle on every other shift, we aren't going to finish many chances on the counter attack.

 

[Thirty One]

Nash and Callahan combined for an impressive ZERO shots in the game.

I don't think that is impressive. It is decidedly unimpressive, IMO.

 

[3rd Guy High]

it is a 1-2-2. Rangers are sending one man in deep and they don't commit unless a Dman gets into trouble.

Your confusing our Dmen pinching on the cycle. I'm talking establishing the forecheck.

Nope, im not confusing that I know what a 1-2-2 forecheck is. To be honest, I'm not really paying close attention to the forecheck, but if they were doing a 1-2-2 and they were doing it correctly (I guess that's a pretty key word because theyre probably doing it wrong) there would be little to no odd man rushes off of the Capitals breakout unless we had controlled possession in their zone before they broke out.

That hasn't been the case unfortunately.

 

[Swept In Seven]

Well, do or die. No time to fall back and collapse defensively. Bring it to them

 

[Jackson Ranger]

The confidence with the puck the Rangers showed in the first period is gone. They'll need a garbage goal to win this game.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Yeeaaahhh we suck at offense WOO. God damn boys just rip the puck

 

[trilobyte]

It feels like this site is going to crash before long.

 

[Crazed Beaver]

Zucc will score on wrister from top of circle. Book it!

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

I don't think that is impressive. It is decidedly unimpressive, IMO.

I don't know. At least it means no missed shots.

 

[Stugots]

Don't take any stupid penalties for christs sake

 

[The Perfect Paradox]

We're going to lose.

I think anybody who is (objectively) watching this game realizes this.

 

[ImIdaho]

I don't think that is impressive. It is decidedly unimpressive, IMO.

Look at the bright side, it could have been worse: they could have scored a goal in the wrong net.

Richards blue line turnover leads to caps break 2-1. Johansson gwg

 

[NickyFotiu]

I have seen multiple Rangers forwards showing tired legs in the last 2 periods. I hope they get their jump back for OT.

 

[Callagraves]

Can we please just get a luck, flukey goal? It'd piss off so many people

 

[Jabroni]

Need to sustain some forecheck pressure early here.
