Post-Series Talk: New York Rangers defeat the Washington Capitals 4-0

[nbwingsfan]

Unsurprising, the team that has no business being in the playoffs got absolutely smoked when in the playoffs.

I wish Detroit would have made it, they would have put up a much better fight I think.

Maybe one win depending on which Lyon showed up or Kane started giving a damn again, but I doubt much better than that

Classic Ovechkin playoff performance

Should’ve been the Penguins.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

The Penguins superstars alone gave them more of a chance than the Capitals. Ovechkin was a complete shell of himself this series, Crosby would've struck more fear in any NYR fans/players heart easily.

That would’ve been counterbalanced by Letang turning the puck over 10 times per game, no matter how well Crosby was playing. They missed the playoffs because they couldn’t keep the puck out of their net.

The Rangers would’ve simply filled the net each night. Doesn’t matter anyway, they’ve been on the golf course for a week.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

It was nowhere near our best. I'm sure we will be better against Carolina.

Yeah, idk how that series goes. Can't say I'll care much for it besides box score watching but definitely interested to see what happens lol

 

[Zirakzigil]

Rangers cleaned up with a sweep!

 

[josra33]

Detroit and Pittsburgh had 82 games to make it and failed.

The Penguins defense still would've been better than what the Caps iced these 4 games, granted the Capitals got utterly mangled by injuries to high hell.

The names of the Caps D weren’t reputable, but I thought they battled hard. It’s a moot point, your team moved on regardless.

 

[ecemleafs]

For me as a Rangers fan, I could not believe Ovechkin had 5 shots in the ENTIRE SERIES.

This is one of the best goal scorers the game has ever seen.

5 shots. Sad.

he was so bad. just really slow. not engaged. idk how he scored goals towards the end of the reg season. wash looked their best in this game when they limited his ice time.

I'm not a Rags fan, lmao.

 

[Coffey]

Detroit and Pittsburgh had 82 games to make it and failed.

Yep. Can’t blame anyone but themselves.

 

[HanSolo]

Hey, at least Ovechkin put up four pointless games.

The goal record isn't for playoff goals, so

 

[Captain Lindy]

He's just there to collect a paycheck in the regular season to pass Gretzky and then retire.

The Olympics mean more to him than the Cup.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I'm not a Rags fan, lmao.

Seemed like it with a picture of a Rangers goalie at MSG. Anyway, the Caps exceeded expectations by making it in, nothing else really matters

 

[hockey4sale]

Caps lack of effort just says this team has zero pride, zero respect for the fans, I am very disappointed in Ovechkin and Wilson, I no longer give a damn about Ovechkin’s record, may not watch him again, f*** it

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

The metro is honestly such a joke just a permanent free ECF trip for either the Rags or Canes for the foreseeable future.

We would have shit on the Penguins too.

 

[Tawnos]

It wasn’t a dominant series by the Rangers mostly because it didn’t need to be. The Caps never really forced them to expend any extra energy, so the Rangers only expended just enough to win each game. I honestly think it was on purpose. Their focus was definitely on the game in front of them, but the strategy was with an eye to the next round.

 

[eco's bones]

Caps played hard. Injury issues didn't help them. But they're not a very good offensive team right now and that hurt them too. They played a good structured defensive game for the most part...maybe not as much tonight as in the first three. By that I mean tonight was a really scrambly game. The Caps before tonight did a very good job supporting each other and even tonight weren't that bad. Rangers killed them on special teams throughout the series---power play goals, penalty kills and shorthanded goals. Igor was really good.

 

[mrmovies779]

Good news for the Rangers: Igor looked spectacular
Bad news for the Rangers: Igor had to look spectacular

If we switched the goalies the series would have gone 7.

You just can't enjoy anything...always negative.its tiring man

 

[Gardner McKay]

We would have shit on the Penguins too.

Idk. I think we win but that's the one team I didn't want. While Ovi put in no effort, Crosby still scares me.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Can’t get closer to Wayne’s 893 here, why bother

I thought during the series, if I’m Ovi the last place I want to be at this point in my career chasing the record is in the payoffs.

 

[hockey4sale]

I would not believe for a second that Crosby would look that disinterested and pathetic, costing his team 2 short handed goals while generating absolutely nothing

 

[nyrallday]

You just can't enjoy anything...always negative.its tiring man

Yep

Idk. I think we win but that's the one team I didn't want. While Ovi put in no effort, Crosby still scares me.

It would take more than Crosby to beat this NYR team. There really isn't a team in the Metro that scares me honestly

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Even as a Ranger fan, have to admit sad to see how docile and inneffective #8 was
