China Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 The Rangers seem much more aggressive in defending the power play than the Caps are, and the Caps have difficulty finding the open man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zCommander Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Well put a fork in the Caps. They are done for today. Need to regroup and take one on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoVaSkins21 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 This Caps team is very young and they may get a game in this series if that. Rangers are just better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I'm pulling for the Caps to win a 7-game series with a -8 goal differential. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPacker Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 So with Iorio out, unless Sandin or Jensen can return for game two, I think that leaves Lucas Johanson to man the final spot on the blue line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capcrunch98 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 0-4 on the power play. Minimal offensive pressure for most of the game. Giving up a goal to Matt Rempe, the biggest joke in hockey. That's no way to knock off a #1 seed. The good news is Game 1s usually don't mean much of anything. The Caps have learned that the hard way in years past. A win Tuesday night in Game 2 will steal home ice and put them right back in the series. But they're going to have to show a hell of a lot more than they showed today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Their power play is completely garbage. I heard people on the radio today talking about how the refs missed a lot of calls for us and we should have had more power plays. Who even cares? It's not like we were going to score on the PP anyways. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Its annoying. We see underdog 8 seeds knock off heavy favorites all the time. When WE'RE the underdog we get completely blasted. This series is over. MAYBE we win one at home but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPacker Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 We played most of that game with only 5 skaters on D, one of whom is a career AHLer. Honestly, could have been a lot worse. They had one flurry of scoring (where they got away with an elbow-to-the-head) before the late-game breakaway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPacker Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Should I hate the Islanders? I can't remember if they did anything to earn my hate. I've focused so much hate at Pittsburgh over the decades that everything else is out of focus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
