RANGERS-CAPS GAME 5 THE COMEBACK BEGINS

[chuckd3534]

The guys on MSG are 100% right. No doubt the Caps have a lot of pressure now. Just like us last season against Montreal when I felt game 6 was our game 7, I believe game 6 will be the Caps game 7.

We need one f'ing road win to make this real interesting. Best road team in NHL...show it in game 6.

the Caps must be furious about that disallowed goal

The disallowed goal, was a good call. Yeah their was contact, but the contact was both ways. Ward turned around and put his arms, and body all over Hank. Referee was right there, and had to make the call

Tonight the Caps got to play with no pressure. In game six most of the pressure it still on the Rangers but Washington will have some urgency as well.

 

[Ranger71]

They still don't inspire alot of confidence but if they can't feed off that there's not much you can do.

 

[chuckd3534]

Give Fast some credit there as well. Excellent play by him in OT to setup the winning goal. Great to see. Fast is a solid little player. Nothing special at all, but solid.

 

[Stepupstepan]

It will be another nail biter 2:1 game. These teams cant score if their lives depended on it. Also Ovie has done absolutely nothing since game 2. Maybe his magical run is over.

 

[chuckd3534]

I don't agree Mess. I think the pressure is on the Caps. We were down 3-1 and not expected to win this series anymore. The Caps don't want any part of game 7 back in NY. They have the pressure no doubt IMO. I am consistent on this. I felt we had all the pressure on us in game 6 against Montreal last season as well. How I view these things. Some will disagree, and that's cool, but that's my opinion.

 

[Stepupstepan]

They haven't lost an overtime game yet in this playoffs. Whats this world coming to?

 

[Ranger71]

Yeah really great play by Fast.

 

[chuckd3534]

Are you trying to jinx things Step? Ovie hasn't done anything. Magical run over for him. We haven't lost an OT game. SSSHHHHHH....

 

[NYR31]

The pressure is on the President's team winner to not lose in the 2nd round.

 

[Stepupstepan]

I agree the caps have more pressure to close it out now. The fourth win is the hardest to win.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Prod get a ticket to Washington on Sunday

 

[chuckd3534]

Agree to disagree 31...all good. I 100% believe the pressure is on the Caps in game 6. Like I said that's how I view these things, and did last year with us also. To each their own.

 

[Stepupstepan]

I've always liked Fast. He can be a nice solid role player on the third line for years to come.

 

[Messiah717]

Washington has blocked a lot of shots and have done a great job getting their sticks in shooting lanes. Holtby has been outstanding for them because when you watch these games you really think the Rangers should have four or five goals. Yes, I have to give Washington credit but in the end both teams have seven goals in this series. They're up 3-2 but it's an even series.

 

[Messiah717]

In that instance it was actually a smart move by Stepan not to shoot the puck into two Washington defenders.

 

[mrmel29]

Kreids goal, 6 hits and +2 for the game.

 

[Messiah717]

I'm glad it's a Sunday night game and not some afternoon crap.

 

[Stepupstepan]

so who thinks Nash will score in the next game?

 

[chuckd3534]

No huge edge either way so far I agree Mess, but we are down 3-2 and sadly that is all that matters. Now that we won tonight we get the chance to try and get the road win the Caps got in game 1. All I wanted was that chance into this game tonight. We got it...let the chips fall where they may from there.

 

[chuckd3534]

When Kreider plays well we usually win. Don't lay an egg in game 6 Kreids...

 

[Stepupstepan]

In that instance it was actually a smart move by Stepan not to shoot the puck into two Washington defenders.

LOL...because it worked for once. It's OT, you get a chance to shoot, you shoot. Don't get too cute.

 

[Ranger71]

If they can get up early on Sunday you could see the Caps start thinking a little.

 

[mrmel29]

Kreids is a playoff stud

 

[Messiah717]

LOL...because it worked for once. It's OT, you get a chance to shoot, you shoot. Don't get too cute.

Yeah but if you watch that play again you had some guy laying down on the ice and another Cap right next to him. Nothing to shoot at.

 

[chuckd3534]

Yeah, you would think the first goal would be big in game 6, but in games 4 & 5 the team that scored first lost both games, so who knows.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Thats the issue with Kreider. He has his head up his ass half of the time. He has to be more consistent and not lazy.

 

[chuckd3534]

I don't think Kreids is a playoff stud. I think he has shown studly flashes, and then games where he is invisible. That's his MO thus far in his short career. We need him in game 6...don't pull a no show.

 

[mrmel29]

Rangers are winning on sunday and coming back to finish caps off on wednesday. Payback for that goddam 3-1 lead we lost to them a few years back when friggin torts was throwing water bottles.
