Score one for the good guys! A sweep 🧹 of the Caps felt soooooooo good! Lundqvist (in the studio) was wondering if the Rangers could pull this off especially after the Rangers were being outworked. Sure, I hated the Caps’ 2nd goal where 3 Rangers just stood there. Thought there was sloppy puck control but Rangers pulled it together and finally put together a 3rd period that was indicative of who they are. Washington was a nice warm up….Carolina is a real test. May fortune favor the foolish. 🤞
The Rangers basically got a first round bye.
The Metro division is basically the Rangers, the Canes, and a bunch of crap. No Metro team has even been to the finals since 2018.
What a boring and pointless series
What a crap series, the Caps clearly didn't deserve to be there
Red Wings or Penguins would try at least
Good riddance!
It was expected, but still good job capitals for at least keeping the games close.
Would the Red Wings have done any better? I don't think so.
HEY! HEY! HEY HEY HEY!!!! LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
Don’t understand why the rangers came out so flat in the second especially after seeing all that emotion going into intermission ? Anyone find that strange ?
Ovi needs to hang it up half the times he was on the ice he wasn’t engaging and made some awful plays including in game three when he lost the puck on his own blue line to set that K.Miller goal …… Panarin is playing with a ton of confidence
Well the chalk is out so far any big surprises in these playoffs? Not really..I guess the Stars play maybe but they still aren't dead yet.
Let’s go islanders. Push it to 7.
Rempe actually can play hockey…my bad thought he was just an enforcer….hes contributing in a positive way and has focused on not taking liberties and getting into a tussle.
🧹🧹🧹🧹
Good, the embarrassment is over. Now I can watch their affiliate Hershey Bears. A more deserving playoff team with their talent back.
Wtf was Ovechkin doing this entire series
I hope the Rangers are prepared for the first real test coming up
All remaining 16 teams want that last spot for a punchers chance. This wasn't david vs goliath. NYR maintain elite status. Out of the first round with players having no notable injuries–go ahead talk about rust all ya want; Laviolette ain't there as icing on a cake
Or just could be a black Cat was at that hockey game
Very happy with the Capitals' season. They were supposed to be bottom of the division, especially given Ovi's awfully slow start. Managed to snag a playoff position and there were some bright spots to gleam even from a sweep. Rangers are better. I'm a little disappointed that the caps played poorly, power play was awful, goaltending was bad, both of these things were good down the stretch. And that's where they lost cuz 5 on 5 was pretty even. So that sucks, but honestly it's hard to care with a team that has a -40 goal differential. McMichael, Lapierre, MF, Strome all looked good. It's reasonable to anticipate McMichael and Lapierre having much better seasons to come shortly, and if that happens, they should look a lot better in the next few years.
Last in first out
not a broom in sight
On the bright side for the Caps, they got more Stanley Cups than some other teams still in the playoffs.
Can't wait to see what the Caps will do this off season!
Hey rangers fans, tell me how has kaapo been playing, ofc i saw his goal but otherwise, looking good, bad or decent? Tell me. 😀👍
Thanks Shannon for the great commentary. It is a sad day for Cap fans everywhere and no I do not get comfort just getting in. They played well, but the Rangers have too much firepower at this time. The Caps GM needs to get some goal scorers in free agency or draft a Forsberg type of guy in the draft.
Was at that game last night and it was like I was at Capital Square Garden
Good riddance, they didn't deserve to be there in the first place.
Rempe had more goals than Ovi…
Ovi was a ghost in this series
I won $485 on that kakko goal. I was waiting for it,and didn’t have to wait long at all! That’s 2 weeks of free groceries! WOO
Ovechkin is a legend!
Let’s go Rangers clap 👏 👏 👏 👏 Let’s Go Knicks. Both fan bases too over their buildings. Knicks at the Wells Fargo Center in Philly 2 hours away and the Rangers at the Verizon Center in Washington DC 4 hours away from the Amtrak!!!!! Knicks and Rangers Garden party like 1994
Rangers sweep the Caps… What a surprise
This whole comment section is cancerous. So many whining pens and wings fans. 🤦🏻♂️
Now we know what is the next thing for Coach Carbery, special team. The Caps aren't bad 5v5, it's the special team that is absolutely horrible. Funnily enough, the first time in many years that an elimination doesn't upset me a single bit as a Caps fan. Also, the amount of hatred towards us. Yes we got swept. But all I see are salty fans saying we don't deserve to be there. Maybe we don't, maybe there should only be 15 teams eligible for playoff with the president trophy winner having the first round sitting out. I've never seen ever that the fanbase not from the franchise making it a bigger deal than the fanbase for the franchise. I guess that's a pretty big achievement in itself, isn't it?
That blatant knee by Jensen should’ve been a major, or at least a review. He blatantly sticks the knee out. If they can review a clean hit by Panarin for a major, this should’ve been reviewed too
Caps are so bad. I can't believe they were actually in the playoffs 😂
As a Capitals fan, I am optimistic about the future because of our young prospects. But I am not happy about Tom Wilson being the guy in line to be the face of the franchise after Ovechkin retires. It's frustrating, because nearly every Capitals fan likes him because he gives the team grit, or something like that (basically, take what Rangers fans say about Rempe, Bruins fans say about Marchand, Panthers fans say about Tkachuk, etc.).
Tom Wilson is a dirty player. Even worse, he loses his temper and often hurts his own team with his actions (like his penalty last night). He's a bad example for his teammates. Marchand is a dirty player, but he gets under other people's skin and his dirty play usually helps his team. But Wilson is the opposite, his dirty play almost always helps the other team (for a rare exception, see Merzlikins losing his temper against Wilson in overtime this year). It's really scary that we're stuck with such a bad example as our next in line to be captain.
I really like the Capitals' future with guys like Miroshnichenko, Leonard, and Cristall. But I don't like that we're stuck with Wilson after Ovechkin is done.
I'm expecting Ovechkin to get about 25 goals, 25 assists, and play horrible defense next season. His entire career he's played horrible defense. But he's also been a big hitter, a high energy exciting player, and he's the best goalscorer ever. He put up his numbers when goal scoring league wide has been under 3 goals per game for most of Ovechkin's career. Goal scoring league wide was over 3.5 goals per game for almost all of Gretzky's career. It was much easier to score back when Gretzky played. Gretzky is the best player of all time, and it isn't even close. But he's not the best goal scorer of all time. Ovechkin is a great player, he's a top 50 player all time. He's no Gretzky, and that's okay.
The Capitals came into these playoffs wounded, with three defensemen on the injured list, and two more went on the injured list during the series. And they played the Presidents cup winning team, a team that can easily beat the Capitals at their own game. I expected them to win 1 or 2 games, and I said I would only be slightly surprised if they got swept. So I am slightly surprised. I genuinely expected Lindgren to steal 1 or 2 games.
I'm glad that the Capitals made the playoffs. I'd rather the young guys get some playoff experience, even if it's just 4 losses, than get to pick 3 spots earlier in the draft. The Capitals didn't really deserve to be in the playoffs, but neither did the Islanders, Flyers, Red Wings, or Penguins.
Whether or not a team makes the playoffs shouldn't be so reliant on how a team does in 3 on 3 hockey or in shootouts. Imagine if the NBA started doing 3 on 3 overtime, and then playing a game of HORSE to decide the winner. It'd be ridiculous. I really hope that we can scrap the 3 on 3 overtime and shootouts, and just give both teams a tie.
I thought both the guys the Rangers picked up at the trade deadline played well in each game in the series.
