Post-Game Talk: We don't need no stinkin' heroes - the whole team is made of Game 7 heroes.

"Can Nick Backstrom, center for the Washington Capitals score a goal for the Washington Capitals?"

Of Course he can't.

 

[Boruto]

some of that 15 goal scoring prowess could have helped Backstrom.

Henrik "God" Lundqvist: 7GP - 436MIN - 1.65 GAA - .947SV% - 2SO - 12GA

We're not worthy.

Amazing. After we were down 2-0 I thought we had no shot and would lose it in 5. I am so ****ing glad I was wrong.

I agree totally. I would like to commend all the posters who kept up the positive attitude despite what looked like an overwhelming capitals team poised to demolish the rangers. Hats off to you all!

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Brassard has more points than Ovechkin, Backstrom, and Perreault combined.

ROFL.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I think all the Geico commercials with Backstrom can be packed up and put on hold for 4 months.

As close to the Cup that they will ever be.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Okay guys, I cannot keep my eyes open. I am off to bed. It's almost 6 AM.

We did it!!! LETS GO RANGERS!!!

Fixed it for you.

Is it a DayQuil bottle with a raccoon face, or a raccoon abusing DayQuil?

Need Staal and Clowe for this Boston series. Can't wait. This team has conditioned me to never be confident, but Boston is the team I originally wanted, so...

Not sure, that's a good question. Maybe he's just a raccoon with jaundice

 

[MisterUnspoken]

When do we start constructing the Lundqvist statue in front of the Garden?

 

[JohnC]

Thank you!

Growing a new one?

Yeah why not. I clearly have magical powers

It's hilarious, but I actually did that too.

But I did it first probably...

 

[Tawnos]

Well, I did it Saturday morning... so probably.

I'll start mixing the papier-mâché.

Brassy, Dorsett, Moore trade now GOAT trade.

Even if all these guys suck next year, we won a friggin' playoff series with big contributions from all of them.

I think gaborik makes approx what those three combined do. When you factor in the realistic expectation that moores' game continues it's impressive growth curve this trade looks great. Having seen Moore since he's been here I'd have traded him straight up for gabby given His salary and poor play. Moore and McDonough will both be on Olympic team in four yrs. Brassard is simply improving every game so I hope it continues and dorsett takes the body well and solid forechecker. This trade was as good for us as we could have ever expected. It's starting to look criminal.

I hope gabby rounds back into form so that the jackets fare well with this trade also.

I really wish this is something they would do.

Boston won after being down 4-1, don't forget that..

Theire dangerous..

 

[The Gloaming]

Theire dangerous..

We also blew a 3-0 lead to them early in the season.

A game is never over with them.

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Hank made a great save on Carlson about 3 minutes into the game, a goal would have given the Caps momentum for the rest of the game.

3 stars for me:
1) Hank
2) Brassgod
3) Eminger

HM: Asham, Callahan

With J.D. there for guidance, they will turn the corner soon!

They were also up 3-1 in the series.

 

[Riverdale]

They were also up 3-1 in the series.

And we have Hank

Grats Rangers fans. You played exceptionally well tonight and it was hard for a Caps fan to watch :< I've always had a soft spot for the Rangers and will continue to root for you in the east after this. When Lundqvist plays like this you can certainly win the Cup.. but seriously what is up with Nash? He looks.. decent. At best. If he's injured he should sit a game because really, he didnt provide much this series

 

[aufheben]

Can't decide on my favorite play of the game...Asham/Brett Hull, Callahan owning Erskine then a gorgeous goal on Lolby, Brassard sauce to Zucc dirty deke...

Not a play, but seeing Hank actually happy in a post game interview is...really nice.

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Boston doesn't play around, remember 2011? the Flyers were up 3-0 in the series, Boston comes back and wins the series in 7, 4-3.

Earlier in the year, Boston comes back down 3 against us, we barely squeaked by in the shootout, that was the game where Nash had the monster assist to Hagelin, and the SO move.

Now they come back down 4-1 in the third in game 7 against the Leafs. This is a veteran team that has one of the best coaches and systems in the game.

The good part is we play very well against Boston, as they do not have the best transition game, and also are not a speedy team like TML, Ottawa, Pittsburgh, Washington.

And we have Hank

Yeah, they are definitely beatable, especially with Clowe/Staal.
