NFT: New York Rangers vs. Washington Capitals, 3:00 pm

arcarsenal : 3/29/2015 10:57 am
Not a good day yesterday. Expected Hank to give up a few and be a little rusty but it didn't help that Toronto spotted the Bruins a goal right in the beginning. Just one of those days... our rusty goalie plays for the first time in 7+ weeks, we're coming off clinching and going into the building of a desperate team playing for their lives.. it had all the makings of a let down. Hank did get better as the game wore on.

Right back at it today, though. Talbot goes today and I think he'll get one more start in one of the two games that comprise our last b2b. Hank will get the rest of them which gives him 7 total to get right.

Couple of other notes...

- Trying to get Skjei signed and to HFD ASAP so that they could possibly have him available during the playoffs as a spare defenseman.

- Marty has been skating recently and is probably getting pretty close to returning. We should see him by the end of the week, IMO.

Anyway.. fuck the Caps. We've been good at bouncing back this year so it's time to do it again.

Good news is

the Caps also played yesterday and have struggled a bit the last few games. Holtby with a rare day off yesterday, let's see what kind of effect that will have on him.

Stay out of the fucking box and conversely, would be nice to see us force them into a few penalties, which we haven't seen in a while. Then there's the anemic PP, just have to figure a way to get it going.
Barring injury

I'll be shocked is Skjei doesnt end up as a top 4 dman within a few seasons. Needs a bit of weight, but he's a guy who can control the ice defensively.
We played crappy in two of the last three  
Torrag : 3/29/2015 11:59 am : link
I expected them to support Hank's return with a big effort. It was disappointing.

Time to get it going again.
Gotta bounce back from yesterday's shitshow

Throwing up a bit in my mouth right now...  
pganut : 3/29/2015 12:31 pm : link
...but pulling for you today. And as an aside, I live in the DC area, and took my kids to breakfast in a local restaurant today (and I'm wearing my Islanders cap as per gameday custom), and encountered a Caps fan in full regalia with his kids who decided to talk some smack to me. I was going to unload with both barrels but remembered I'm in front of my kids, but all was good when my son looked at me after the Caps nerd said his bit and said loud enough..."Daddy, aren't the Capitals a team that's never won a cup?". Caps nerd looked like he'd been stabbed with a rusty butterknife, shut up and closed out his bill.
I dont think you can keep your foot on the gas for 80+ games  
Deej : 3/29/2015 12:33 pm : link
December thru deep playoff run isnt doable. I wonder whether the vets are giving themselves a bit of a break right now for the run. The schedule makers really fucked us this season with so many games down the stretch.
In my opinion  
blueblood'11 : 3/29/2015 1:31 pm : link
The Only thing the Rangers have going for them right now is to win the league and home ice throughout. Given the history I'm not so sure that's a good thing. And let's be real here, these teams the Rangers are playing are in ultra desparation mode. What happened to them against the Kings and Bruins doesn't surprise or worry me. When the playoffs start and their desparation to win kicks in their effort and play will show.

LOL, good boy!

See if the Rangers can go 3 fucking games without the refs calling a fucking penalty, just a coincident I guess since we all know the league wants the Rangers to win the cup. What a fucking joke of a league, disgrace is what yesterday's game was, the field goal for the first goal, and then a player hits Glass's head into the fucking boards and doesn't even get a call! I sure am glad the league is helping the rangers, hate to see them fucking us. I want this championship more then any other I ever wanted, and that includes all the Giant and Yankee rings and the 1994 ring. I have followed since 1966, and nothing has changed, the old powers are still there and we have to have replays in Toronto, what a surprise, I said it yesterday the next call that goes our way from there will be the fucking first, and that is not an exaggerations.

Was there an interesting part to this story?
Chris Summers got called up; will play instead of Hunwick, who is out  
Anakim : 3/29/2015 2:11 pm : link
with an injury.


Surprised they chose him over Allen and McIlrath

Ah, I should have known that someone like you who can't procreate wouldn't appreciate it. Whoops...I'm sorry to have let your secret out, buddy.
As much as I hate saying it,  
Stufftherun : 3/29/2015 2:27 pm : link
and I hope I'm wrong, I think The Rath's days with the organization are numbered. He's slowly dropping further down the depth chart and I don't think it'll get any better.

It's doubly shocking because we needed to call up a RHD and McIlrath is one. Allen is a LHD, but can play both sides. Summers is a LHD, but I don't know if he can play both sides.
Would have been 3 games in 64 hours for McIlrath  
Run with 81 : 3/29/2015 2:52 pm : link
McIlrath has already played back-to-back nights. Summers didn't play last night..

Oh, that might explain it. How come he didn't play? Healthy scratch?
Conspiracy theory is they held him out  
Run with 81 : 3/29/2015 2:59 pm : link
of the Pack game last night when hunny was hurt in the AFTERNOON game... So why didnt they hold out Mac instead??? Hmmmm...?

64 games of nhl experienceI think.
Nice to see an early PP

I still think they should separate the McD/G pairing

Yeah, that defense was fine. It's just a great all time goal scorer doing what great goal scorers do.

The angle he shot it from looked like it was going wide, no idea how it got inside the post.

Just a beastly move and shot by Ovechkin
Can we please see  
Stufftherun : 3/29/2015 3:22 pm : link
more than 1 SOG on the PP and if possible can get some fucking production out of it? I'd prefer not seeing 2 minutes wasted away then have the Caps use the momentum to make it 2 zip.
