GDT: Washington at New York Pt. II

[NCRanger]

Oh yea and Del Zotto is ****ing Pejorative Slur

Del Zotto is not a very good hockey player. He has skills and a bit of talent, but the guy makes Alexei Kovalev look like a Mensa candidate.

Looks what happened at the start of the second when the Rangers actually started skating hard. Caps were a bit flustered and started taking dumb penalties.

Then the collapsing resumed.

The Rangers can be terrifying for the other team when they play hard and forecheck strong, if they collapse and do prevent D, it's our Kryptonite

 

[5 4 Fighting]

All I ask, is not to take penalties this period, this is the biggest 20:00 of our season! Play hard, play smart. We can do this. Huge difference between 2-1, and 3-0. LGR

 

[Blueshirt Special]

Nash is playing like Jagr did when we got swept by the devils in the first round.

 

[InHenrikWeTrust]

What really grinds my gears is the lack of that "next gear" from our top guys you'd expect in these situations. Callahan, Stepan, Richards, Nash have showed No passion that so many other teams top players show in the playoffs. I have to believe deep inside they are discouraged and dishearten by the lack of a pro offensive system by these excuse of a coach. They've seen it fail all season long, why should it magically click now?

Very accurate.

Jagr was suffering from shoulder injury (thanks to gomez in the regular season) that messed up his wrist shot.

 

[Thunderhead]

Based on how they play, this is the average Ranger fan aged 12:

 

[NCRanger]

Why don't we hit opposing forwards when they are deep in our zone?

The go into the corners with immunity.

WTF?

Because then they'd be out of position to block shots.

 

[NHRangerfan]

Coaches adjust to the talent on their roster. The roster just isn't that good offensively. I think if Tortorella thought he could play the Tampa Bay system with this team, he would.

Still doesn't explain why he had the forwards down below the dots in the D zone when you have an elite goalie...coaches talk about making the other team go 200 ft to play offense...Torts does it to his own team.

 

[TomLaidlaw]

Why not reunite the Hags/Stepan/Cally line. Let Brassard center Nash. Shake it up. I like the way Brassard is playing.

Side note: did we double shift Pyatt towards the end of the 2nd?

 

[Blueshirt Special]

Yes, I remember that...

 

[Machinehead]

 

[NHRangerfan]

With all the Caps PK time, Ovi should be really fresh...predicting he scores 2 in the 3rd.

 

[truebluegoalie]

Nash is playing like Jagr did when we got swept by the devils in the first round.

You mean when his shoulder was jacked up?

 

[haveandare]

I wonder if Nash has been hurt? I can't imagine why else he'd look this bad and not get called out and ripped on by Torts.

 

[ImIdaho]

This franchise better be serious about trading Del Zotto, Girardi, and Callahan. We would definitely get a nice package.

Yes.

I don't even irrationally hate Pyatt like everyone else here does...but that is ridiculous.

I doubt it. THE Jackets fans were complaining the same exact things about him. He'll float for couple of games and dominate for 1 game.

 

[Blueshirt Special]

Because then they'd be out of position to block shots.

I have hated the "blocked shot strategy" since it's inception. I was calling out this collapsing defense 3 years ago.

Told ya.

No stop it with trading G and Callahan. DZ I'm starting to get on board with because he isn't consistent and mises the net too much.

 

[5 4 Fighting]

LOL Machine! You know which one was my all-time favorite?

How does Mitchell sound on PP1? No?

How about PP 2? With that Torts face lol.

 

[Drewbackatu*]

He deserves it. He and gaborik are no different.

Nash does have a lot of Gaborik in him unfortunately.

 

[GFiP*]

Oh yea and Del Zotto is ****ing Pejorative Slur

Did we really not trade DZ and kreider for ROR?

 

[Kershaw]

Caps called on too many men lol.
