[Riverdale]

Brass
Stralman
Hagelin

all had a great game.

But, where in the hell is Nash? This guy needs to step it up in the playoffs.

Lol @ the Caps fans on the main board.

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Hagelin
Brassard
Stralman

HM: Girardi (30 minutes of ice) + a beauty of a goal

That puck went in between Hank's legs and beat him, literally missed the net by an inch...

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Best of 3, where the Rangers have the momentum. Ovie is looking frustrated, too.

Definitely looking good now.

 

[nyrpassion]

Will be at Game ****ing 5. So pumped.

Where's the Caps in 4 or 5 people? Thought this series was over before we got home?

Typical knee jerk over-reactions.

Guilty as charged, but you know how I get emotional.

 

[nevesis]

This guy RULES.

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

I really don't care as long as we win the game. That's all that matters.

My heart cares...

Washington is so good at knocking the puck down off the boards and out of the air when the Rangers try to clear the puck

It's because they know it's coming. This team loves to blindly throw pucks up the boards lol.

 

[KingP]

great win

I was able to get the main board to discuss actual hockey after last game. Not sure if it's going to be worth the effort this time around.

Washington did not forecheck as heavily early in this game. This allowed the Rangers to set up. They took a few dumb penalties, which hurt them. Taking a look at the yearly numbers, Washington is a very frequently penalized team. The Rangers are not.

That 1-3-1 power play they have is still fascinating to me. I'd encourage the Rangers to emulate it, but they don't really have a right handed shot on the left side like Ovechkin.

Most either think the series is over or that the refs handed us teh game.

 

[Machinehead]

This guy RULES.

I love those

 

[ThisYearsModel]

It would be nice if Torts would look at the game, and at the stats, and stop trotting Richards out there so much. He is being outplayed by Stepan and Brassard by a significant margin.

 

[rholt168]

Girardi with almost 30 minutes of ice time? Jesus.

 

[trilobyte]

I'm actually seeing something about Nash that does not make me feel good. Being basically the only draw on the ice in Columbus, he became a one man show. And we all know that that does not really carry you too far, unless you are Bobby Orr.
The checking on stars is especially tight in the playoffs.

Maybe others have already formed this opinion. I am a bit disconcerted by it, though. I hope it changes.

 

[Thunderhead]

explain

Whining about the refs ?

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Brassard and Stralman played amazingggggggg. Stralman has more or less been our best defensemen this series.

Stralman, McD, and G have ALL been excellent in this series. Moore has been very, very good as well.

 

[rholt168]

Nash has to be injured, there's no way he's 100%

 

[Blue Blooded]

I also gotta give HUGE props to Callahan. I've been hard on him lately and he had a great game looking like vintage, 2010-11 Callahan.

Their All Universe Goaltender sure has come back to Earth hasn't he?

 

[nevesis]

Hear what Brian Leetch just said? Hope you all did.

 

[Ail]

Keep the comedy coming! I am in a good mood right now after that win!

Are you even shocked a little?

 

[Hockey Team]

Didn't you guys know? They have a mandate to not win by more then 1 goal, to prevent people from leaving the garden early!
