Post-Game Talk: Washington at New York Game 4: TIED Our Shoes

[AWall THE CLAW]

They need to get Nash back on a line with BrassGod. They are checking him tight and Richie is certainly not making any room for him. Nash carried this offense all year and I'm not writing him off yet. Still had a great assist to win Game 3.

lol silly dion phaneuf fail leads to boston OT winner

 

[Water1]

Wow just wow
Good pick ups from Columbus
Brassard is really good, so is Moore and Dorset looks like a keeper
Close was a good addition to the line up
Need to bury some of those chances
Now is Nash time, hat trick for him in Washington

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

What'd he say?

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Nash may be an elite talent, but is NOT an elite player

 

[Hunter Gathers]

PGTs after wins surely are less populated

Yup. Maybe the dudes who claimed to be done with this team actually were true to their word? I hope so.

 

[Cmox]

This guy RULES.

lol for real

It's probably unhealthy to love 23 uniformed men who ice skate and several dozen anonymous internet users, but I do.

It's only unhealthy if you love them all at the same time and without protection.

The NHL is all about safety! Wear a helmet down there.

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.

Look out for Oates to put the Ovi line out against Brassard when they go back to Washington. Zucc-Brass-Boyle can't deal with their forecheck.

Fire Torts!1 His system doesn't work!!

 

[17futurecap]

Man I don't know how some of you guys post on the main board about this series, had to get out of there after two pages of reading.

 

[nyrpassion]

explain

..it is literally a ****show aahahah. absolutely hilarious.

 

[Dangleberry]

Nice game, but they still need to capitalize on the 5 on 3 and stop utilizing the dumb collapsing defensive system.

Nash may be an elite talent, but is NOT an elite player

Washington is not letting Nash beat them. Two guys shadow him all game. Whaddya gonna do?

 

[Callagraves]

Torts deserves a ton of credit (that he's not getting) for getting out the right lineups to shut down Ovechkin. Putting Nash/Hags-Step-Cally, easily our best forechecking line, out there against the OV line every time, forced OV to play in his own end.

#8 can't score if the puck is in his end, and almost any time he was on the ice, the puck was in his end.

Cally and Step may have only put up a point each, but their impact on this game was HUGE

 

[aufheben]

The Moore jersey is awesome.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

..it is literally a ****show aahahah. absolutely hilarious.

Just stay away, man. Not worth it. It's only worth going on the main board to talk **** about the Penguins and their ******** antics against the Islanders.

I love you, Bob. I don't care what anyone else says about you.

[OrbitalDynamics]

It's amazing the way Stralman has picked up his game the past two years.From a guy who couldn't make the Bluejackets out of camp to an underrated key performer on the blueline.Really stepped up his game since Staal went out.

 

[BBKers]

Fire Torts!1 His system doesn't work!!

Great win
But relax, still gotta win 2 more outta 3.

 

[trilobyte]

I'm not trying to be a debbie downer, but we have to be wondering what Nash will be like from here on in.
I hear people talk about possible injury. I hope not, but the flip side is that if he is not injured something has to change.

 

[goalsequalvictory]

Hank needs to step it up, hopefully he bounces back, usually does after a bad game for him. D has been really good except for Del Zaster, when Staal comes back, I want him benched over Eminger, Eminger does take stupid penalties every once in a while, but, for the most part, can fly under the radar(the bad goal the exception), which is all we ask of a 6D.

Good to see Girardi showing that he can still hit a shot on the PP. I also thought Clowe made a major impact in the physicality of the game, good to have him back.

I'm confident, we've got a best of 3 on our hands, but we've got the momentum, if Hank can get back into god mode, and we can win in Washington on friday, I like our chances. Friday a must win, I really don't want a game 7 on the road, and it gives us a chance to close it out at home sunday night.
