Defense looked terrible. Other than Fox (who also played poorly) no one playing D tonight could make a decent outlet pass and our forwards really don't want to drop deep into the defensive zone to carry the puck out which is just a disaster.

Miller has not looked comfortable in a long time. His name should be in the lineup in pencil, not pen. He might need some time in the AHL.

Gretzky taking up a quarter of my screen and rambling while two goals were being scored was horrendous. TNT thinks they need to maximize on Gretzky's name power but his commentary is completely uninteresting.
 
You don’t dress a tough lineup if you’re not going to play a tough game. You don’t start your backup on opening night. You don’t play a static large box against a diamond PP with a big shot at the point as well as the circle.

Putrid coaching throughout.

And the players might wanna show up too.

f***ing Quinn.
 
I mean it’s one game but that was f***ing terrible

The bad
1st line
2nd line
Backup goalie
Panarin's speed

The good
1st shift
3rd line
Our defense was good. I just wish we dressed 6 of them instead of 1.

The invisible
Most of the roster for 45 minutes.

The WTF
Reeves and Ovechkin catching up during a faceoff.
 
They put the league on notice alright. We're now easier to play against .

Hopefully we'll be feeling a lot better this time tomorrow. Embarrassing loss.

idk how much i can take from this game. New coach, Gallant didn’t play the starting lineup in the last few preseason games like he should have

I can tell you the Caps played it perfectly. The Rangers spent all summer getting tough for this matchup (among others) for Washington to not even play ball lol
 
They need to put one of Lafreniere or Kreider with Chytil. Otherwise we will never score with our 3rd line. Tô be fair we also won't score with our 1st line with what they showed tonight.

Btw, f*** off Georgiev.
 
Very early obviously, but I don't know if I can envision them making the playoffs if this is the long-term bottom 4 D. It's not NHL-caliber.

The Rangers seem to have convinced themselves that Lindgren-Fox and Miller-Trouba are perfect combinations, but we'll see what direction the new coach goes in as things wear on.

Why is Tinordi here? I expected him to be #8 coming in. I'm very surprised and a bit disappointed that we had all those young D going for one spot and f***ing Tinordi got it somehow.

Dolan and Drury want to be tough guys.
