GDT: Rangers vs Capitals (Today @ 12:30pm)

[Kovalev27]

There are three players in the NHL strong enough to body Ovechkin.

Two of them are his teammates.

you could fire a nuke at ovechkin and I’m not sure I’d put money on the nuke doing any damage

 

[Ginger Papa]

you must suck at physics

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

I guess we match up well with the Caps but not the Devils?

 

[Raspewtin]

this is a turtle with us not even trying to score but washington are just getting nothing

 

[NYRKING30]

Probably. Remember when Kakko did in Calgary?

Yes, Quinn’s method is score a goal and ride the bench. Motivational tactics 101.

 

[Anthony5967]

Why did he bench Lafreniere?

Nevermind

 

[CasusBelli]

Whenever I find myself in the vicinity of moshing at the metal shows I go to, most people that hit me just bounce off because I'm 221 pounds of sugar and bacon.

And that's me just standing there, not trying to compete at the highest level of hockey. And it's a lot more fat and a lot less muscle than Ovechkin.

That's why we don't hit Ovechkin. Science.

I’ve seen maybe a handful of open ice hits that have landed OV on his rear end since he joined the league. Any attempt to hit him along the boards just results in the aggressor bouncing off him. No point in trying.

I saw Dubinsky beat his ass once. Was even on HBO.

Just ask Svechnikov.

He doesn't have to "body" him but he has to stop him.
He was at the blue line.
If you can't stop him then good luck defending anything in the playoffs..

 

[NYRKING30]

Why did he bench Lafreniere?

Because he scored a goal.

 

[LokiDog]

Big save

 

[Black Aces]

Why did he bench Lafreniere?

hes on the ice

 

[DialUp]

Laf does not play when it's defensive crunch time. Today, that started with 15 left in the 3rd.

 

[CasusBelli]

Why did he bench Lafreniere?

Probably wanted more defensively sound players. That’s the only rationale that comes to mind. But he’s our there now. I don’t know.

 

[LokiDog]

Because he scored a goal.

Kids play defense. Replacement level vets score. Them’s the rules.

Unless the team has the lead. Then kids don’t play defense. Or offense.

 

[Machinehead]

I saw Dubinsky beat his ass once. Was even on HBO.

That was in a fight lol

 

[NYRKING30]

Laf sighting!

 

[NYR]

Of all the things to bitch about, you pick the guy who has been, far and away, the teams best player. Talk about arm-chair qb'ing

Absolutely..I see everything

 

[Machinehead]

He doesn't have to "body" him but he has to stop him.
He was at the blue line.
If you can't stop him then good luck defending anything in the playoffs..

The Hurricanes scored zero goals with Fox on the ice in the playoffs.

Weber being the 3rd?

 

[aufheben]

I guess we match up well with the Caps but not the Devils?

The Caps switched to man-to-man defense.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

That was in a fight lol

Yeah I know but it is a happy memory. The only time I saw Ovi get pounded. He would knock Dubi on his ass in a collision.

 

[CasusBelli]

Ovechkin doesn’t look focused today. Just kinda going through the motions. A little sluggish too.

Barely noticed him today.
