Reviewing Capitals vs Rangers Game Two

[@Agent7300]

rangers need to win the next game. every time the rangers have gone deep in my lifetime they ultimately run out of gas because they got dragged into long, physical 7 game series in the first 2 rounds (2012, 2014, 2022) and with chytil about to come back from injury the team should want him nowhere near wilson.

[@thatJAWNraps]

hell yeah, fwiw i have us winning every series in 6 except this one i had 5 (and i have us over FLA then EDM both in 6 to win it all, biased? OFC but justified? also of course...

[@beamerball666]

Not to mention they need to prove to themselves that they can snuff out a desperate opponent. Two playoff series in a row they've had 2-0 series leads with the lead going into the 3rd period of game 3 and have failed to advance both times. That's absolutely inexcusable, it needs to stop

[@TheSnapback]

@@beamerball666 2022 they weren't expected to beat Tampa, they were already out of gas by game 3 of that series because they played 20 games in 40 days. Keep in mind no one even saw them going past the first round that year, they didn't make the playoffs the previous year. 2023 you have a point, they should have beat the Devils as they were up 2-0 in the first round but they had little to no resilience that they had the year before. That mostly had to do with the coaching, apparently they didn't get along with the coach in the locker room. This year they have proven that they are an extremely resilient team with 55 wins, and this game was a good example.

[@JavaBum]

@@TheSnapback The reason they lost to the Devs was them being coached to not care through March and April. They carried that into the playoffs and lost. Justifiably so. This year? They wanted that place, being the Pres winners. They didn't let up. This Rangers team is a force to be reckoned with.

[@JavaBum]

Gretzky had 9 goals and -23 his age 37 season when he retired. Crosby turned it over in OT to give the caps the series win the year they won the cup. Just saying put everything into perspective.

Eh the man coming off was no where near the bench and the guy coming on was fairly close to the puck and even if he didn’t play it he was kinda in the way.
