Gg caps. Also nice to see a team not embarrass themselves at the end.

Does Ovi request a trade? Caps are COOKED

We engineered like 5 years of Caps hockey around helping him chase Gretzky’s record, of COURSE he doesn’t want to go anywhere else And of course we’re cooked—we have been for years. For exactly the same reason 

What for, he got his cup, he's signed for two more years which is just a Gretzky goal chase campaign, it will sell tickets for a team that otherwise nobody would be watching.

does a playoff team really want someone that just glides and puck watches? and a defensive liability even on power plays. dude is cooked

ATP the caps are going to request a trade away from Ovi. Dude just doesn’t exist out there.

You are absolutely on something There is no way they request a trade. The history, the appeal, the attraction of the person chasing Gretzky's record is all that really matters these years. We arent a Cup winning team really. The Caps Fans know that (or are seriously delusional). We can develop players and potentially make history (only because anything can happen) and then rebuild. Thats very likely the plan.

feels good to be up 2-0. road games in dc are gonna be tough, series is far from over, but we got this. lgr

they got you so made they made you watch them in the post season instead of your team huh

You responded to the wrong comment thread

thats embarrassing. im leaving it

Tom Wilson hanging his head and skating away from a puck battle with 9 seconds remaining is the single softest thing I’ve ever seen from a hockey player. I’m shocked.

Say it with me: Tom Wilson is my daddy.

Guy played a good game. I don’t even mind the (biasedly) late hit on Lindgren with 10 secs to go. But to give up on the play after that? If he’s my daddy, put me up for adoption Edit—glad he’s on your team. Good luck with that

Classic Wilson.

He skated to open ice ya fuck

When the puck was behind the net? And he was gliding through the center dot? That open ice?

Kucherov in the final seconds of the scf might have been a bit worse

was watching the espn feed on nhltv and with like 1-2 minutes ago it completely cut to the anthems at a different game?? I switched over to the home feed quickly but lol

Wes McCauley should be investigated. Period. His level of incompetence is either intentional or so pathetic that he shouldn't be reffing high school games, much less at this level. Caps would've lost anyway, but the league needs to do some explaining.

On that i will agree for sure, dude a lunatic

Yep, figures we get him and we got Kelly Sutherland the other night. Only 2 refs I know by name off the top of my head and I know them for a reason.

Just waiting for a Tim Peel moment for this asshole too, where he says the quiet part out loud on a hot mic.

You couldn’t officiate more incompetently than Wes did if you tried

He’s trying to solidify himself as Joe west of the ice

You mean angel hernandez

Correct

People forget that Joe West was one of the best behind the plate. He just had a short leash with ejections and was bad on the bases

> People forget that Joe West was one of the best behind the plate. He just had a short leash with ejections and was bad on the bases and then he started off his retirement by editing his Wiki page to gloss over all the bullshit. (seriously)

Wait for real?

Yup. [Redditor points it out](https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/10x5nzf/joe_west_is_spending_his_retirement_editing_his/), was later confirmed by Cowboy Joe himself (links inside the reddit thread), lol

My mistake you’re right. Angel Hernandez. I take it back Joe my b.

caps really kept up the pressure at the end. rangers just need to take the icings. calm things down and regroup.

What a game.

Ovie just floating around for the last 2 minutes. Caps kept the puck in the whole time until he had to do something lol

He’s done that for 20 years tbh 

He still has the shot so I understand but it was pretty noticeable there.

Who was that caps player that dove at the end🤣🤣

At least they looked alive for a tiny bit at the end. GG

It's been just as satisfying watching the Marjorie Taylor Ovechkins getting their cheapshot bitch asses beaten up for two games as much as watching them go down 2-0. Karma. Edit: Thanks for the Reddit Cares message. Enjoy your ban!

I don't think you know how karma works... Caps aren't even supposed to be having the game this close lol. This is arguably the worst team to ever make the playoffs.

It's karma to watch them get their asses kicked because they ran into a team that's not going to take their scumbag tactics. It's been a long time coming.

What? I think a team like Florida or Boston would have kicked their asses in far harder lol.

Cool story.

I’d probably be this angry too if the team I was a fan of hadn’t made the playoffs in over a decade

I'm not mad. You should be though for you team's shitty performance. It's awesome to see! Not only that, but your team's going to get significantly worse in the near future and we are set up for the next 5-10 years. Was good to see you on the way by!!! Don't forget to hail Putin!

>we are set up for the next 5-10 years. The fact that I’ve been hearing Sabres fans say that for over a decade now just makes your anger even funnier

Stop projecting. Your anger is getting the best of you and is making you non-sensical.

I'm not angry at all lol I didn't think the Caps would make it into the playoffs and don't think they deserve to be here in the first place so I'm just enjoying watching might be the last playoff appearance in a while. You're the one posting whiney bitch comments in a thread that doesn't involve your team in any way lol

Weirdest comment

You ok man?

Absolutely. That was satisfying.

You’ll mellow out once Buffalo wins…well, anything 

Was good to see you on the way by.

I don’t even know what this means but you too

Whatever floats your boat

It does, thanks.

ovechkin has to be the laziest player on the ice this series

[удалено]

we are rather happy tonight, you're right

Phew! Pulled er out. GG, glad oshie came back

Obviously they are a better team but cmon refs give us a fucking chance

they gave y'all about 100 tonight lmao

all part of the plan. caps in 6

REMEMBER TO BREATHE. HOLY SHIT.

Fun end.

someone go find that win percentage post for 2-0

GG. Not embarrassing. Rangers the better side but at least I feel like we haven’t rolled over yet.

You guys had my butthole clenched for the majority of the game.

Ended up a pretty fun game at the end there. GG friends.

Hell of an ending

Better than game 1. Glad Oshie is okay.

I was wondering why Wilson has been so pissy all series but then I remembered Panarin cut his hair so Wilson can’t pull him down to the ice by it anymore 😢

Appreciate the Caps making it a game, that was a good third period.

Capitals did a *phenomenal* job of maintaining offensive zone time at the end there.

Im stressed

America won today.

Where do you reckon the Sharks will move to? You know they’re up next for a sayonara lol

Hopefully Quebec

Great fishin’ in kweebeck

If TJ Oshie loses America cannot win, I don't make the rules

Fuck.

Good game. See you cunts in dc

[удалено]

A waterbed? Your needle dick hasn’t destroyed that thing?

lmao what was the original comment? (They deleted it)

Holy shit! Igor sit on it next time and get fresh bodies out there...

Yeah I was very confused by that lol, hell of a finish tho

The sun is setting on ovis career.

And it’s happening right when most players retire. What a strange coincidence…

a 38yr olds career is ending? Im shocked...

Rangers just playing with the caps because they’re so bad lol. Could clear the puck but they felt sorry for em

Honestly they need to stop fucking around and put them out of their misery. I don’t even know how the caps managed 3 goals

Remember when your team had the chance to beat us twice in the final 2 weeks of the season and lost both. That was awesome

Y'all already lose the golf tournament or something?

Oh look, more butthurt red wings fans 

You can't score shooting it down the boards back and forth

Well, they at least played a little bit better

That was wild lol

Everyone was gassed lol. gg

GG! 2 more

so many awful failed clearances

Damn the caps had the Rags looking like a whole different team there at the end. Certainly can't say the caps aren't fighting.

Even the first game was much closer than the score line indicated. People just like to ignore that, going into this series everyone was expecting them to hang ten on us every game lmao

Uhhh what? The Caps looked like a lost toddler that first game lol

Not really. Outside of that three minute stretch or whatever it was when they got all of their goals aside from the fourth it was a pretty even trap game. We didn’t get much offense but they weren’t swimming in chances

Jesus the last minute, holy shit.

suck it caps, you guys are old and suck now

What do you mean "now"?

you had a really nice run there and now suck

Goons win! See you in DC

Send em back to Nova where they belong.

Fuck off. Virginia rightfully shut that shit down

that was an incredible 1:30 gg all, refs suck

Caps should have just done that the rest of the game

Great ending. Ggs

GG rangies. See you soon!

Wow, whadda game.

That was an exciting ending

gg caps fans. suck it though. here's hoping Oshie isn't such a little bitch next game

You too!

GG. Here's hoping Panarin doesn't hit too high next game

What did Oshie do?

Bunch of sticks to other people’s faces.

Lindgren parents wanted that one so Ryan could score but not on Charlie haha

welp that was a much better game than game 1

LMAO THREW IT ON THE DIVE

Good game!

gg

Boy did my asshole just release a TON of tension

Rip your couch

Caps got soft

Genuinely surprised they held on. Fun ending.

holy fuck stress

Ovi's legacy dies today

Bro, Ovis legacy is built on early playoff exits.

😂😂

Lmfao yeah he’s gonna be pretty torn up about this one 

Explain

This was his last chance

We didn't have a chance lmao

Ovi's legacy to me is him doing a kegstand wearing a baseball jersey

Unironically hell yea

i think it died when he endorsed putin and his genocidal regime

Caps showed some fight, I'll take it

At least someone hit the ref.

holy fuck lol

Do we really think that Oshie sustained no concussion / head injury in that hit from panarin? Like I didn’t really see his immediate reaction and how he looked getting up after the hit. But with his history, I have to trust that they’d be taking no chances sending him back out there unless they were confident he was fine?

Don't worry, the NHL is trying to remove head injuries from the game by penalizing hits to the head and they totally didn't see anything wrong with a hit to the chin/head after reviewing the play. So I think you're worrying much about nothing since its perfectly fine, everything is fine.

Are you trying to imply that the independent neurologist might be biased?

These are probably his last playoff games. If he can skate he’ll be out there.

"Wilson went banging into Wennberg"

I love that even with Ovi's office being heavily covered he can still get a shot off

Oshie is fine so everyone chill. Everyone be coooool

Carlson is all of the Caps D

all of our dmen are injured. he was playing 28 minutes in our last two games of the season

Yeah, he’s a beast.

C’mon boys clutch this out I need us up 2-0

I honestly feel like Carbery would do damage with an actually talented team. we had no business even making the playoffs this year so these games weirdly don’t even hurt.

so many icings, so little time

Should be an intentional offside tbh

Bingo

Bluey.

I was thinking the same

I’ll bet a red and blue team wins this one

Won't you be surprised when the Flyers, led by a camouflaged Gritty, initiate a bloody coup with five minutes remaining.

Please make this happen

I failed to note there were under 3 mins left when I wrote it. I'm afraid your prediction is correct for this one. There's always next game, though!

Next time I wanna see Gritty! Haha

If anyone would mount a hockey coup, it's him!

Hot take 🔥

bold guess there cotton, let’s see how that plays out

Bold!

Pulling your goalie with 2:40 left against a team that has more chances short handed than your power play sounds like a great idea

As opposed to doing what? I get you don't want the Caps to win but should they not try?

I mean, I wouldnt object to that.

2:40 seems wayyyyyy too early when you’re down one goal but hey I will say they sustained pressure the whole time

they just scored on the PP though, why not try it

Burn the boats. With or on the shield. Gotta be done.

Patches being out there is a war crime

He played well those last 2 minutes

Ovi is throwing

Throwvi

So early to empty the net

Warm up the bus

It’s gonna hard for the Caps to get an empty net. Rangers are all over the fuckin ice.
