I think it's moreso that the Rangers always seem to let a series go at least 6 games, if not, the full distance of 7. It'd be nice for them to win a series in 4-5 games for a change, lol.

Full concur, except I want to be open minded about not pigeon holing this kid to a 4th line career.
There is a balance between not prematurely giving the kid something he does not yet deserve
vs
Making sure he has full, possibly even early opportunity to surprise us, or at least have earlier as opposed to later trajectory to advance

This little boy needs to fill out before he walks around shirtless so much.

RIP, Jimmy.
I don't disagree but lets get through game 2 first and hopefully no further than game 4?

Breaking up Trouba and Miller just before the playoffs was the smartest move Lavi's ever made, more so than a would-be Kreider-Zibanejad breakup.

The 3rd and 4th lines were the two best lines out there yesterday. Great to see. Panarin getting that goal was huge.

Have been harping on this for years.
It's impossible (or at least EXTREMELY difficult) to stay healthy going 7 games every series.
They need to end this fast & prep for the next rd.

I thought that entire line looked great. Wennberg looked noticeably faster and Cuyle didn't look overwhelmed in his first PO game and had some great shifts. Wish Kakko would have buried that shot, it was a missile.

Can it be Tuesday already? I want to pummel these crybabies again. Never forget the only time they won a Cup they didnt have us to bounce them out as usual.

That shot of the Caps bench at the end of the game - I’ve never seen a hockey team look more dejected after a game one in my life.
This is a very f*cking good hockey team.
He had Lindgren 100% beat. Great shot right off the post

I agree that the line was great, not only Kakko. The trio worked the forecheck really well. Cuylle took a penalty but otherwise was stout and in the Caps' faces.

I bomb atomically...
not sure why but the game felt surreal to me, like it wasn't a playoff game but just another regular season one. could be because of how the refs were calling in, but we were in control the entire time which was awesome to see. Panarin playing very well.
Yea. His defense on that chart will have him booted from the lineup. Although, he made a nice defensive play on CK's goal.

It would've been so nice if he scored on that two-on-one. Kid needs a break. On another note, how were there so many people that thought a strong forecheck, shoulder to shoulder hit was boarding by Lafreniere? He literally drilled him in the shoulder. Holy **** these people are a joke.

Not really surprising that he should be the first to score. Always happens come PO time. 3rd and 4th lines seem to be the difference makers. Would've liked that 4-0 lead, surely enough they make it 3-1 and all of a sudden it's a potential 1 goal game with their PP opp, This is why our PK is instrumental to our winning ways.
Squelch it before it becomes a game. We played so so, enough to win and no injuries.

Yeah, just ask an Avalanche fan if they're happy this morning. But hey, they scored 6 though. Georgiev what a joke. Thrilled he's gone.
Otoh, 6 off of Hellebuyck, hmmm.

What a great pick up that Roslivic was. I think he has ZERO shot at being here next year. Might end up scoring a huge goal or 3, he'll take his one day with Cup and be gone.
