IMO, the Caps played their game plan last night, a physical, defensive game. And we still beat them. I expect more of the same Game 3, and wouldn't be surprised if they try to take shots at Panarin. If we keep our cool and let the Refs handle it the way they have the past 2 games, we own them.

Well that explains the erection then.

I'm stuck in a shitty hotel in a shitty town in Alabama for work, their cable is out, so im currently watching a stream on my tiny ass phone like a teenage boy looking at porn.

It's funny because I live in Central PA and attend a lot of Hershey Bears games, and I find myself having to explain to my kids why I can't root for the guy. Now, doubly so.

Just needs to settle down a bit, and I think he did that for the most part yesterday. One thing I've been noticing from him more is that he's starting to use that body in front of the net, jamming up the crease and creating chaos. If he can do that successfully, and maybe learn a few tricks from Kreider about tip-ins, he'll be a force.

Rangers were playing the long game all along lol

If You would've told me at the start of this season that we'd win the Presidents Trophy, a 7ft 4th liner would score our 1st goal of the playoffs, AND that the 2nd goal was in large part because of the physical play of Lafreniere, I would've laughed hysterically and then asked you for some of whatever pills you were popping......but here we are.

Dont have MSG, and its not showing up as an option on ESPN for some reason.

I Can't find the game on TV anywhere unless I subscribe to Fubo or Sling, so I'll be listening to it instead. Like a peasant.

If that were to happen, where do you drop Ros? 3rd line would be odd, since you'd have to drop Kakko to 4th line....though Ros on the 4th line would be even weirder?

Was listening to Vince's podcast this morning where he also had a beat reporter for the Caps on. One thing she pointed out was that the Caps either win close games where they're grinding people down, or they get blown out. They have to rely on that style because they don't have team speed anymore. One of the biggest issues Rangers have this year is chances against off the rush, so hopefully they don't have that to worry about as much this round. We know they're going to have to play physical against us, but if we keep our heads up and avoid playing their style, we should be able to draw some PP chances against them. Echoing what everyone else is saying, there's really no way we should struggle against them if we just play our game.

As intriguing as it is, don't think he'd be in. What I'd love to see - Kreids - Zib - Ross Bread - Tro - Laf Cools - Chyt - Kakko Goodie - Wennberg - Vesey That 3rd line combo could be interesting. We already treat Line 1 as our pairing against teams top lines, and that 3rd line with hitting/shooting/defense could be fun to watch.

Wilson is my biggest concern this series. Maybe a hot Lindgren, but more than anything it's WIlson doing Wilson shit, and us buying into it.

Agreed. While I don't have the best feeling about this year being "the year", I DO feel a lot more confident with next. Same squad with a few minor additions/subtractions, a few line tweaks, get everyone healthy and playing the system Lavi wants......the rest of the league better watch out. But despite all that, I'm still REALLY excited for this run coming up. LGR!!!

Glad Rempe is in, definitely could see Tkachuk doing something stupid in the last meaningless (to them) game of the season.

Can we sit Trouba out for this one? You know, to "rest" him......?

Can we split them up next season? Can Kreider slide down to 3rd line, still get all the PP & PK time, and maybe move Cuylle (a guy who loves to hit & shoot) up to Zib's line to alleviate some of his pressure? Worth a shot.

So thats not just me being annoyed with how loud the Isles fans seem to be during this broadcast.

This Is just.......terrible. with the exception of Igor, it's putrid all around. Get the feeling if we're going to pull this out it's gonna take the 3rd and 4th lines.

I dated a girl with a Bizarro Aho once.......

A little surprised to see Aho as a healthy scratch. Rangers 3-0 with the *******..

Not all heroes wear capes.

In his defense, Trouba played a sound game last night. Yeah it was against the Habs, but still promising.

Im convinced Kakko has "Resting Disappointed Face". Feel sorry for his girlfriend.

Call me crazy, but I'd love to see a couple games with a line of Cuylle-Zib-Kakko. Not this year obviously, but I think it would be interesting.....
