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

LOL at this quote.

“@MikeColeNESN: Tuukka Rask on playing in OT in a Game 7: "It's do or die. You're either a hero or an *******."”

It's good to be the king

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

WOW @ at that first gif. If he just skated at half speed he could've at least deflected the pass.

Ovie was phenomenal in this series after that godawful disgusting play in terms of hustle, hitting, setting the tone and example for his mates.

 

[OverTheCap]

Lundqvist is really amazing. He was determined not to let up any goals after Game 5. His compete level is one of the highest I've witnessed.

Asham and Pyatt were signed for their playoffs. They could be useless throughout the regular season for all I care so long as they play like they have in the playoffs. Pyatt has been getting some criticism for reasons unbeknownst to me, I thought his boardwork and physicality was solid throughout the series, he is one of the unsung heroes.

Lack of depth has been a glaring issue all season and it's great to see the bottom six step up in a major way in the playoffs. We don't win this series without them. Now hopefully the primary scorers can join in against Boston.

 

[KRM]

Ovechkin played great these last two games.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Brassard has taken his game to a new level. I almost didn't recognise him. And of course Lundqvist was great.

Go Rangers!

 

[GFiP*]

Thank you asham for that rocket. This team is so good when it has the lead playing confidently.

 

[nevesis]

Sick! Haha...

 

[Maineice11]

this is a group that had a rough start losing the first two games of the series, but then this group of guys became a team. They bonded together and worked hard to tie it 2-2 and even after going down 2-3 they were resilient and shutout the caps 2 straight games and took the series. This is a team that close and has 4 dangerous lines 3 very good d pairings and a just unbelievable goaltender...they are FINALLY putting it together!

 

[NYRangers88]

What an unbelievable effort. LGR!!!

 

[LittleKev6D9]

Best game they have played in a LOOOONG time.

What's more impressive the fact that Rangers held Ovechkin to only 1 goal, or that they held Chimera to only one goal?

 

[Hockey Team]

So where's all the henrik is a playoff choker people?

 

[El Gato Bodegero]

As a caps fan;

Amazing team effort from your team and I would like to cheer for you against the bruins but I don´t want to jinx you; All the teams I cheer for are practically without championships in the last 10 years so I will keep it cool and only watch the games.

What an odd Game 7, at least last year we died fighting but today your team never gave us that chance.

At the end it was a nice series and I do think we will meet again next year !!!

Adios

 

[HockeyStickHomicide]

Great great game!! LGR!!

 

[NHRangerfan]

Guys, I am going all out here and going to be completely honest.

I am crying right now. This was so intense. This series was the most exciting I've experienced in a long, long time. The close games really got to me and to finish it off with a blow out win, where we get scoring from all lines, just makes me a happy, happy man. I am still going to watch the post game show now on Streamo, but this has been a memorable night. Yes, it's not the rivalry like we have with NJ or Philly, but this just feels so intense.

And I still feel Holtby is a great goalie for the future. From next year on, he will have better opponents and we will see where he is at, but for a 24-year old, he is doing pretty good. You got to give him that, despite his attitude.


3 stars:

1. Brassard
2. Lundqvist
3. Zuccarello

still watching the post game? Damn what time is it over there?

Tip of the cap to you!

 

[deleteme24]

As a Leafs fan, please take care of the stinking bruins.

Hit them hard and have the King stop everything!

I'll be in your bandwagon. Good job guys.

 

[Riche16]

So... Bring on Jagr and Redden!

 

[cjc5103]

Great title. Everyone's being a hero!

Asham, Pyatt, Cally, Zucc and MDZ with goals tonight. Just wow. Speechless still.

 

[z1co80]

I just think it's awesome how a playoff choker like Hank can notch up back to back shutouts when the series is on the line.

 

[NYSportsfan87]

jesus it looks like McDonagh went through a lawn mower

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Wow! McD looks like he went 10 rounds with Tyson

 

[RangersFan]

McD, that scar is gonna make the chicks want the D! What a beast!

 

[TriFF51]

Oh man, its been a blast in the playoff boards thread...What a game boys! On to round 2 for us! Won the series without our big guys showing up (besides Lundy of course)...And we've got a real player in Brassard. What a game!

 

[aemoreira1981]

HOLY C**P! What happened to Ryan McDonagh's face?

 

[darko]

Nasty gash on McD's cheek.
