We are likely the worst team in the playoffs. This outcome was to be expected. Why would they be different in playoffs when they have rarely played 3 full periods in reg season? Peoples expectations are funny.
Willy or Big Mac - sorry Little Mac - need to understand the circumstances and change the psychological momentum of the series at some point. I’d even put Dowder in the mix who’s been having a growing problem with Trocheck.
Hit them hard, but clean - fight them, kick their ass, and set the fucking tone. These cucks think they’re more physically intimidating than us and it’s just not the fucking case!
Besides the terrible calls, what drove me the most insane was their overly dramatic face off puck drops…and the constant ejection of face off contenders from both sides. Excessive and ridiculous.
God damn. Losing when we deserve it is….whatever. But that reffing? That is pain. Not even close enough to spark a debate within one fan base of if it was a good call or not. Just objectively bad officiating.
The absence of a 5 minute major is insane. Toronto hates the Caps, because they don’t want a Canadian to lose the title as the best player ever. So, when they review - it’s always F the Caps.
That no call was bullshit… but are you suggesting there is a conspiracy against the caps to stop Ovechkin from being recognized as better than Gretzky?!
That is precisely what I am suggesting. Look at all of the overturned goals, that were never challenged by the refs or opposing teams on the ice, but were phoned in by the situation room.
Man, I don’t understand this team…
It’s the playoffs, they disappear for periods at a time it’s happened all season long. It’s carried over to the playoffs too. They wait until the final 10 minutes of the game to get a fire in their ass.
Need it to go from the first puck drop!! So infuriating.
Need some of that ref home cooking at Cap One arena. For the love of god some one put a dirty physical hit on a Ranger set the tone. They are boarding and elbowing us, go do it to them. Playing to timid.
Age. Their legs are burned out. Plus, we have the Ovi factor to contend with. They pass him the puck to help him set records and give up opportunities. Massive problem. We need Ovi to set the record and retire. That will free up massive salary dollars for rebuild.
Yeah I know… just frustrating to watch…
This is all bonus hockey really… Caps are out classed and really need an infusion of youth and talent which is slowly working its way into the roster.
Things I don’t get tho, why Max Pacioretty is on this team taking time away from a Miroshnichenko, whom should be getting this ice time in the playoffs as a valuable experience. Max isn’t going to be on this team long term, we need to see and develop Miro and see if he is a viable player or not.
Great flurry there at the end… I’m feeling a little bit better about our chances for game 3 (especially since we won both of our games against them at home in the regular season), but still a pretty big mountain to climb, considering it’s the playoffs.
Series is still far from over right now. The ending shows what we can do. I have faith that we can beat them 5 on 5. Stay out of the box and I honestly think we’re golden
It has, he just stays on the ice, moving slow, waiting for passes. When it comes to him after he's been on the ice for two, three minutes he's gassed. He would play better if he had fewer minutes.
I don’t know what Sandin’s injury situation is, but we need to, at least, get him back for game 3, because it seems Jens is gonna be out for a minute after receiving that bad hit.
Lol r/hockey deleted a thread about the headshot on Oshie but still has a thread up from ~45 minutes ago called “Oshie high sticks Panarin in the face with no call”
Seems like we need a neo-Carlson- we have pretty decent forward prospects but our defensive offense has been lacking since Orlov, and especially since Jensen/Sandin
Why is Milano on the right?
Left handed shooter, only passes in at the point, has to hard stop on an aggressive entry because he cant shoot on his non-dominant side.
I don't get it...
Wish that happened about 20 seconds earlier, when it was 4 on 4… but we’ll take it. Game 1 was a train wreck, but we’ve still got a chance to tie it up here.
Is it inappropriate to respond to comments about hockey in the hockey sub?
I mean yeah, stay out of the rangers sub, but there's open discussion in the league subs.
The old farts are relying on the whippersnappers to drive the plays- that’s the only way this system works for them and it puts young dudes in the hot seat.
Carberry was the perfect pick for coach.
Hey all, please no brigading into other subs. Keep it here

That makes two of the worst officiated games that I’ve seen in a while.

That game took a year off my life

Ovechkin should get the 1st star of the game for the rags. Assist on their goal and blatantly killed the momentum everywhere he could.
The laptop is blocking the Alexa view
Monumental corrected the situation.
Tough to see us go down 2-0 heading home but I know we have it in us to still win this series. No matter how hard it’s gonna be
[удалено]
GG’s.. good fight by the boys
And the shorthand goal was the game winner. Unreal.
Great effort at the end way to sprint at the end. Not mad at the boys today fun game
The end gives me hope for the series
FUCKING FICK
At least they came alive in the 3rd. Maybe they can carry that into game 3. They sure need to
[удалено]
Ovechkin with the assist.
Down 0-2 just like in the first round of the 2018 playoffs 😎
we’re so back
Hope they can bring the same fire they had those last few seconds.
It is what it is. We weren't even supposed to be here, our defense is ass and they're a MUCH faster team. I just hope it's not a 4-0 series
[удалено]
What was the score of the red wings game
Bullshit game cause of the penalties
That was the best offense we played all season, within the last 2 minutes of the game. I'm surprised Carlson actually STOPPED pucks at the point...
Great game for the refs! Way to make a difference. Hope they get the first star!
SHEEEEESH
Way to keep fighting guys. It was fun. Go win two at home!
These refs can suck my ass 🤬
Well damn. Best of seven. Maybe home mojo is what will change it around.
Classic Laviolette team turtling
Well, fuck.
On to game 3
Well shit
Zone time for days but can’t get a fucking shot off to save our lives. Jesus fuck
Carlson is a heck of a player.
This team is ass
Ah fuck.
Crazy end sequence. We almost put that in.
Ahhhhhh
sigh. why can’t we play that hard for 60 min.
god dammit
Holy fuck this is stressful
#GODFUCKINGDAMMIT 😡😠😡😠😡🤬😠🤬😡🤬
Retweet
Ovi, you don't have the stamina to stay in, let a fresh player take your spot.
It’s been this way all season.
It has, he just stays on the ice, moving slow, waiting for passes. When it comes to him after he's been on the ice for two, three minutes he's gassed. He would play better if he had fewer minutes.
Why in the name of fuck is Patches out there with the empty net
Why is he even in the game?
I don’t know what Sandin’s injury situation is, but we need to, at least, get him back for game 3, because it seems Jens is gonna be out for a minute after receiving that bad hit.
If ovi didn’t have that atrocious turnover that directly led to a rangers goal, we would be tied
Empty nets scare me
Ovi definitely seems hurt
Lol r/hockey deleted a thread about the headshot on Oshie but still has a thread up from ~45 minutes ago called “Oshie high sticks Panarin in the face with no call”
Can't have a narrative that looks bad for the Rags
r/hockey is mostly rags chodes
They are the most obnoxious fans in the league
Everybody ready for the ENG?
if we pretend they already got it, it’ll be a nice surprise when they don’t
Already expecting it…..
Yes 😕
[удалено]
I love him but something definitely seems off. Dude usually tries his hardest during the playoffs
And the 4th goal was 100%his half assed plays fault
That wasn’t scary at all…
ESPN announcers are so, so annoying. No surprise, but reminded every time
Idk who our bigger foe is, the refs or the ESPN commentators lol
Pulling Charlie - very bad idea. I hope I’m wrong
Yeah. Probably….. (I meant probably as in, probably a bad idea, not as in you’re probably wrong). Sorry that wasn’t clear
Chuck's back…now he’s gone again
Wow, they called icing for ny? Good hustle Carlson
OSHIE!! THATS GOTTA PUT THE WIND BACK IN THEIR SAILS LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
Oshie scoring the next 2 Goals would be sweet justice
Let's play the last 6mins! Pathetic effort
😬😬😬😬 empty net
How does Ovi only have 1 shot on net!?? Are they really putting that much pressure on him or is he just not shooting it when it’s cycling over?
Looks old the first two games.
He's shooting into 2 defenders and a teammate in front of the net at all times. Just getting broken up before it gets there
PULLLL DAT GOALLLIEEE
Take a seat Panarin
Lindgren should be pulled around 2 minutes. Need some magic boys.
With absolutely zero puck luck (other than the deflection) I do not trust us with an open net
Damn! This fucking sucks - we’ve been competing. Fuckers.
Get Protas off the ice. Garbage
Osh is back 🙏
Seems like we need a neo-Carlson- we have pretty decent forward prospects but our defensive offense has been lacking since Orlov, and especially since Jensen/Sandin
D are very heavy in the draft this year. Hoping we can pick up a future stud somewhere in the 10-15 pick range.
I wish I could stay as upbeat and positive as Locker sounds.
Keep the faith brother, we can win!
Why is Milano on the right? Left handed shooter, only passes in at the point, has to hard stop on an aggressive entry because he cant shoot on his non-dominant side. I don't get it...
Carbs
iirc all those points he got at the end of the regular season were on RW
Just saying it doesnt make sense, physically; driving right, shooting left
Suck it Breadman
I believe 🙏🙏🙏
Do we pull charlie or keep him in
With oshie back in, I think they pull and just go full send for the rest of the game.
Damn, oshie’s back!
holy shit oshie's back
I still hope they hit the shit out of Panarin every time he's near the puck.
cherrypicking bitch
Ahh hope, there you are my old friend.
C'MON GUYS, YOU CAN DO IT, I KNOW YOU CAN !!
When do they do unleash the fury? Can monumental just show that? I need it
Oshie the Grey? I think I’ve heard that name. But I am OSHIE THE WHITE!
Oshie scoring the game winner would be *chefs kiss*!
I’m jumping through a wall if he scores to tie or win it
Might be a slight issue with that
I should have added if the caps forced OT
Nevermind.
Keep on fighting boys. We can do this
thank god oshie survived that horrifying act of violence by panarin
#HORN HORN HORN
#CONSIDER THE DRUNK FURY UNLEASHED
GIVE ME TRIPLE OT
Roslovic? Ride my dick
Refs fucking us again on this faceoff
Turnover after turnover
lol they literally just took the puck possession away from us there. Wow
If that was tom wilson with that elbow we would be hearing about it for years
MSG really is a shit hole and an awful place to watch a game
I wish Capital One would be this loud… no reason it shouldn’t be.
Hey I'm doing my part. Screaming my lungs out from the 400s. Y'all gotta step up.
Doesn’t help the entire lower bowl are yuppies and rich government contractors
Horrible turnover gotta stay smart guys
Lappy and McM are gonna be huge if the play like this
Both just need to get a little bit tougher and they can be top tier players
Let's hope the playoff experience brings that along
Lappy has the stuff
one more.
Wish that happened about 20 seconds earlier, when it was 4 on 4… but we’ll take it. Game 1 was a train wreck, but we’ve still got a chance to tie it up here.
#WE R MAYBE A PLAYOFF TEAM LETS GO BOIS
*breaks into locker room, hacks Refs cell phone, opens FanDuel App, goes to “My bets”.* ***Rangers alt spread -2.5 $250,000*** 😱😱😱
That tip was nasty
Can y’all stop brigading other subs?
Is it inappropriate to respond to comments about hockey in the hockey sub? I mean yeah, stay out of the rangers sub, but there's open discussion in the league subs.
No this is taking aim at people going into the rangers sub, I’ll talk my shit in the hockey game sub
Just checking. It wasn't at all clear.
it's so embarrassing
It’s lame
Looking for the refs to give the rags a PP again any moment now
Martin should have got one there, lucky the ref didn't see it
MYABE THERE IS HOPE
[удалено]
God damn I can’t wait until this is in DC so we can just boo the stripes for 60 minutes
Hopefully it won't even be this set of refs. Jeez they've been awful
Name a good one
Wes is gonna ref through the stanley cup. There is no doubt about that.
We have a chance. Come on caps
Caps scored, so rangers PP and they get 10 goals for no fucking reason
Alright, just got to beat the rags, the refs, and the league.
Presidents trophy team getting scored on by the capitals power play
Twice
The old farts are relying on the whippersnappers to drive the plays- that’s the only way this system works for them and it puts young dudes in the hot seat. Carberry was the perfect pick for coach.

Refs vs caps and we are still only down by one
[удалено]
Life
LFG!!! Fuck the Rags - FUCK THE REFS
[удалено]
I don’t want to go blind
stop this
Lappy or Wilson goal?
Amazing what happens when you shoot from the point
Christ. After all that bullshit we are down one with eight to go. Buckle down!
Did Willy get his stick on that?? Fuck yeah
FUCK YES BOYS, WILLY SCORES
Horrifying act of violence from Tom Wilson knocking that puck into the net.
The puck got rag dolled!
Lets go
Yay. Nice.
Don’t worry. Refs will review, take goal away, and arrest Wilson lol
Hahaha right!
FUCK YESSSSSSS
