GDT: WARNING: HORRIFYING ACTS OF VIOLENCE (RD1 G1 @ NYR)

[IafrateOvie34]

Down 4-1, do they let McIlrath loose?

 

[Firsov99]

Willy, here’s your chance to make a mark.

Game 2 - Rags come out cocky. Caps get the "Playoffs?!?!?" out of their system and come out of NY 1-1.

Caps have to score on the PP and take shots every chance they can.

 

[Calicaps]

Is it really gonna be just Willy off for that? GTFO.

Oooh... Carbs is pissed

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

I’m not mad. Still happy for the young guys to have the experience but let’s get physical.

 

[Langway]

That was definitely a playoff hockey game.

 

[DWGie26]

Well now you had your first taste. Now get it and steal game 2.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Well they didn't have to go to OT for game one.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Rangers beat us 2-1. The other 2 goals were on ignored penalties.

 

[Capsman]

Watching this game I’m trying go understand BM’s disdain for speed. I cannot think of a higher draft pick or FA acquisition he’s made who would be considered upper echelon of speed. Maybe Milano? CMM is above average but not a burner. Lapierre is skilled but speed isn’t his forte.

 

[EYEuhFRAYtee]

On to the next...

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

Caps were incredibly solid, except for a lack of shots on net, especially from high danger areas. Definitely a key for success going forward.

It will come in next wave of drafting over 2 - 3 years.

 

[Eirikrautha]

Bash them

Yep. You make up for the talent difference by putting their D-men on their ass, over and over.

 

[pman25]

We had plenty of losses like this during the regular season where they looked so bad. But then they would bounce back and play great the next game. It’s just one game.

Eh looked like most games from us just without Charlie making every save or scoring a goal or two on the PP

I’d say we will look about the same, maybe with better luck next game!

Except for that entire offensive area. And the defensive breakdowns.

They'll be done in four if this is all the vets have left.

 

[Calicaps]

Sucks that the PP has gone cold again.

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

For the love of god, can Willy or Mc kick Rempe’s ass? Let Dowder get Trocheck.

That’s quite an exception. That’s only like the most important thing for generating offense.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Unleash Dylan McIlrath!

 

[SherVaughn30]

Hard to play with only 5 d-men throughout the game. I'm kind of wondering if Carbery should seriously go with 11 forwards and 7 d-men for the next game, the way our d-men get targeted with no penalties for it.

For the love of god, can Willy or Mc kick Rempe’s ass? Let Dowder get Trocheck.

Rempe is a p*ssy. He will bully players smaller than him but he won't drop the gloves when challenged by a big enough dude like Mcllrath.

Sucks that the PP has gone cold again.

Rangers are a fast team on the PK, so you have to beat that with quick touch passing.

 

[Calicaps]

Definitely more blasé than I’ve maybe ever been about a Caps playoff loss. Tho losing game 1 on the road is never a catastrophe.

 

[John Price]

hungover off 4 beers and upset but the good viewpoint is other than that fateful 2:06 in the 2nd the caps played relatively well. hope sandin and jensen can contribute soon.

 

[Fred22406Capsfan]

Caps have to score on the PP and take shots every chance they can.

My wife and I were watching and I blurted out "just shoot the damned thing!" It looked like our guys were looking for the 'perfect' shot each time.
