GDT: WARNING: EXPLODING DEFENSEMEN (WSH vs NYR G4, 8pm)

[Alexander the Gr8]

Playoffs hockey is a different beast. He is getting gassed quicker. Carbs is doing the right thing to decrease his number of shifts.

He hasn’t had a single burst of speed. I’m OK with cutting the ice time if it means he can play faster

And I think he understands it. He isn’t trying to overextend his shifts. It’s just better for the team.

Lappy being rewarded for his play. Seemed like he was out there a lot after he scored.

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

Fellas, I love puck possession and I’m all for defensive zone exits turning into neutral zone carries into the offensive zone, but sometimes you just have to chip and/or dump the f***ing puck out just to play it safe! It’s like shooting yourself in the ass.

Lappy being rewarded for his play. Seemed like he was out there a lot after he scored.

He’s a gamer, we saw it last year in the Calder Cup and now in the NHL playoffs. This is the kind of experience I was hoping our young players can get.

Now he knows he can be a difference maker on the biggest stage.

Kreider has his own little disconnected controller moment on the Lapierre goal

 

[RedRocking]

Biz going nuts for the Lappy goal, LOL

He made my TV explode, my cat freaked out and ran away haha

 

[troyerlaw]

The drop pass is just terrible strategy.

Can i interest you in a double slingshot

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Whatever the outcome, gotta like the play of the Yutes. Lappy, AA, Malenstyn, Fever. This playoff experience seems to have elevated their play.

Nah, I had my fill of that for the past few years.

Are the Canes a pretty disciplined team? The first team that is to play the Rangers is gonna give them a ton of trouble. They haven't been impressive at even strength

 

[Pigskin]

Rangers boards eating their own after just a tying goal ... f**k it would be fun to read if we actually won this game and the next

We can hope.

What did he say

He just loved it and went into berserker mode for a bit, then almost passed out.

Whole crew was cracking up.

Then again we havent tested them at all. As soon as we have a lead, it’s gone in seconds. NYR havent needed to find another gear. Canes will be better test

 

[Langway]

Ovechkin the low man among forwards 5v5 through two. Lapierre next. Huh.

Canes are bottom 5 in penalties taken and they have the best PK in the league. I have them beating the Rags in round 2

 

[Misery74]

Ovechkin the low man among forwards 5v5 through two. Lapierre next. Huh.

He’s struggling mightily. Lapierre needs minutes.

 

[RedRocking]

Jensen, buddy

 

[Firsov99]

Jensen with almost another disaster.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Jensen!

 

[SherVaughn30]

Yeesh, Jensen with another hot potato!

 

[arlcapsfan]

Please sit Jensen
