Random Poster Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) We can say what we want about Kovalchuk with the puck, but everytime Ovechkin carries down the wing in this series it's the same result. Blocked pass or blocked shot. He's got to dump the puck off earlier and get open or drive to the net instead of waiting until he's down deep by the hash marks. Washington is getting out gritted and grinded and a victim of some home cooking officating. Edited April 17, 2011 by SJP20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random Poster Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 OK that's even. Washington is due about 2-3 more make up calls, though. It's been that one sided. Oh, some 4-4 now. This could get interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Poster Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 If the Rangers can go to the net like that today, the rest of the way, this is not going to be good. I said it once, i'll say it again....the Rangers have too much grit for the Capitals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meals on Wheels Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Bad play by the Caps D to let Dubinsky just skate the puck from the tie up on the boards right to the front of the net, lucky bounce or not. Looked like a play I do in NHL 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Poster Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) lucky win by the Rags wasn't evident in game 1 or game 2 Because when Washington decides to flash the skill, and use thier speed it's not as evident. Today, they allowed the Rangers to play the game that got them into the Playoffs. Grit, grind and more grit. This was a prototypical 2010-11 Rangers win. A game you can't figure out how they won only to say they work hard and play 60. In Game 1, the goal was a pure grit goal. In overtime, they could have won it within a minute by pressure forecheck and grit. In Game 2, the NYR "won" 2 out of 3 periods and was a minute or so lapse from it being anyone's game. Today, they drove the net, blocked shots, grit and grinded and got some home cooking. It might have looked lucky, but they did what they said they were going to do today and to a lesser extent the same style they played in Washington. Today, they were on the winning end. Washington has to start flashing talent and trusting their players to not make mistakes or this goes home tied. They did that on the 4-4 but it didn't go their way like the overtime. I just think that the "new" Capitals" can't play that defense first style the whole series. Sooner or later you have to reach into your bread and butter for the kill and that's the talent factor.

Triumph Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 in game 1 the rangers were totally dominated in all facets - they were outchanced 2 to 1. yes, they could have won the game, but they could've easily lost that game by 3 or 4 also. game 3 was a different story, but ovechkin has to be better and one has to figure the power plays won't be so lopsided. i'll be curious about the scoring chances count for this one.

Random Poster Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 one has to figure the power plays won't be so lopsided. i'll be curious about the scoring chances count for this one. That's the one aspect i'm taking out of this game that comforts me, although i did not like anything about Washington's game today. Washington spent 8 mins in the box in the 2nd and the minors were spaced out over the 1st 10:41. It's very difficult to get a flow going and for a team on the road who is trying to play defensive hockey, epsecially when you're killing off almost half of the 2nd period. I was hoping the momentum from the PK would help, but it was too much of a style disruption for that team to use as a positive, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpower Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 The Rangers played smarter in the 3rd period. Lack of coverage on goal 2 and Hannan was too busy getting into a cross-check fight to notice he was setting a pick on the 3rd. You can't make those kinds of mistakes on a 4 on 4 because it tends to be man on man. Dubinsky went inside of him and that gave him a clear lane to the net.

MadDog2020 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 This San Jose-LA game is incredible! San Jose came back from down 4-0 with 5 2nd period goals, and its 5-5 headed to the 3rd. Unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilinLA Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 This was an incredible game. Although in all fairness it was mainly bad goaltending on Neimi's part for the 1st period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmajeski06 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) Interested in watching Wings / Coyotes tonight. Regardless of what Bettman says, this may be the last home game for the Coyotes. Feel bad for the true Coyotes fans out there. Edited April 20, 2011 by mmajeski06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random Poster Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) Looks like Washington's complaining about the Rangers in front of Neuvirth has worked. Two goaltender interference calls. Too bad the Capitals haven't made them pay. The loss of Knuble is big on the PP. This series is starting to turn into a joke with the amount of calls.

mmajeski06 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Starting to get the feeling the Rangers are going to beat the Caps. Had the Rangers winning in 7...hope I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
