Maybe sometime this decade Ovechkin will get called for that bullpoop (frank)ing charge/boarding or whatever the (frank) they wanna call it.

i thought it was fine personally.

hard hit

anything to make the game exciting eh stripes?

there is always a convenient PP at the end of every game
- Lee Denault

Unless they're 100% sure it should never be a penalty. Especially with all this on the line

Didn't you have that 11th place ribbon?
- TPC

I think it was 12th

How hot is it in PA right now?

The AC doesn't reach my bedroom where I am watching the game, its like 95 in here

I don't think it's the team changing the strategy as much as it is the opponent elevating their intensity level a few notches. People forget the other team is also full of professional hockey players trying to win.

they went from a 2-1-2 low to a 2-1-2 high to a 1-4

they started playing the trap and it burnt them almost.

Yeah it was clean, McDonagh got hurt when he tried to turn away from it.

It is also muggy as hell let alone not having AC.

I seriously thought he was out 3 weeks the way his shoulder just hung there.

That second goal (kuznetsov) told me the Rangers figured the caps would pack it in. 3 guys literally left all alone in the low slot? I don't think I've ever seen that happen

Looked like a bit of each from my perspective.

Obviously the Caps turned it up a couple of notches, but the Rangers seemed to change a bit of their fore checking approach once it was 4 - 1.

Dan boyle with the GWG.

Ill just leave that here

yea it is

they went into the NHL's version of prevent defense, which essentially means collapse in your own zone and let the other team back into the game. holy balls do i hate that.

Nash goal was monstrous too

Boyle really needs people off his ass now tho I agree. 2 huge goals in one series has to give him some credit

Him & Girardi, (frank)ing warriors

That delay of game was a tough one but don't forget it should of been icing on Nash's goal

Good luck in game 7, guys ... the Rangers deserve this series. They've outplayed the Caps at least 80% of the time.

About time Nash got rewarded. Works hard all over the ice, even on the pk and just stuck with it. Good to see him score a big time goal

That was a confident goal by Nash. I know we got Boyle for the PP, not for his D, but...
