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

[PlushMinus]

I will not watch the handshake line. No need to see the Rangers inbred, dullard faces close up.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Feels strange, but go to town Canes.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Are the Caps the worst playoff team of all time? They’ve got to be up there.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Ovechkin played four terrible games. Unbelievably bad.

Might be the last ones he ever makes with this roster….

 

[troyerlaw]

Not great from the so-called veteran leaders. Ovie, Willy, Oshie were brutal.
And Lindgren came back to earth

No, but some teams other teams wouldn't go down without some punches.

 

[g00n]

FFS people, we did a whole avatar thing about their historically bad goal differential.

This was 4 free games.

 

[tycoonheart]

Oshie, Ovi, Dowd and Pacioretty - our vet forwards, scored a total of 2 points combined in the series. That plus Chucky not being very good is the reason we weren't competitive.

 

[McVechkin]

a surprise playoff appearance was fun. But lots of holes in this roster.. too many fill in an offseason.

 

[dreadpirateroberts]

Time to cap dump Oshie to Chicago or Utah

 

[mad4comp]

If you're going to keep ovie, you have to jettison oshie/carlson/patches/dowd. Replace them with speedy players, don't care if they don't have any skill, but if we can't even get the puck into the zone, we have no chance.

 

[SherVaughn30]

He was out of gas. No one else on the team were scoring goals to help OV.

 

[Caps19842020]

Ovechkin played four terrible games. Unbelievably bad.

That's because he's ready for retirement & he should! I have never seen anyone just skate around the ice & not look like they gave 2 shits whatsoever! Atleast he use to try to be physical when he wasn't scoring! Now he just skates right past people & avoids them at all costs.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Hopefully, we don't see Patches ever again. He was just terrible and killed a lot of plays though the regular season and this first round. I won't even call it a playoff because it certainly didn't feel like it.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Ovechkin had to be hurt right?

Like we’ve never seen him play that bad in a playoff series ever that I can remember. Even the few series in the past where he didn’t get on the scoresheet he at least would show some fight.

And he was on a heater as they snuck into the playoffs. He needs to take his training this offseason seriously.

 

[Pigskin]

getting to 895 is gonna be painful and not quick at all

seems like only yesterday we had hope of a mad upset, all dreams crushed now

 

[Capsman]

It cannot be overstated how absolutely awful OV and Pacioretti were. Pacioretti will be gone (another head scratching WTF move by BM among many) but OV will be a major anchor until he retires. That goal record needs to come as quickly as possible so he retires and the team stops designing everything (including the PP) around him.

 

[Nice]

The team that refused to die finally dies

I think he just wants this record thing to be over honestly. Every time he looks there is media asking about other records.

 

[Liam Smith]

Unfortunate ending to a decent season. Thats just the way she goes.

 

[max21]

the Rangers were better at every aspect, we would have been lucky to steal one or 2 games. Came out a bit more flat than we hoped, fun season though

He doesn’t, clearly. Nor does he evolve his game like a lot of the greats did as they got older.

 

[sycamore]

And now we get to hear from the "anti-tankers" on how this season was an "undeniable success".
Keep drinking the Kool-Aid.

You can't have him playing the left point anymore. He's just not mobile enough anymore to play it.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

If that was his last playoff game, so be it. I thought he already played his last one in 2022.
