Sharpshooter

Indeed. Hopefully they end them in Washington this weekend.

The bullies finally being bullied back is not 'dirty'. It's karma.

Yes. They still need to sharpen up a bit, but they'll get there. Some of these mistakes you can get away with against Washington, but will get wrecked against teams like Florida and Carolina. I'm sure they will up their game when that time comes. Also, it's rich hearing that crap from their announcers when they have Oshie, Wilson, etc. Get real. lol

Indeed. I want this Panarin for the rest of his contract, not just this year. I am hopeful, as he looks like he's completely bought in and the most focused I've seen him, even in his past great seasons here.

The Capitals announcers, also known as two of the most annoying people on the planet, were screaming bloody murder about it. lol It wasn't even remotely dirty. Panarin has been great all year, but seeing him do something like that? You love to see it. Any fears you may have had about him being rag-dolled again against these guys basically went out the window in game one. Whole different mentality with him and this group.

Still a long way to go, but what's going to happen in Toronto if they lose early again? lol Geez. The Leafs remind me of the Flyers in the sense that they always seem to struggle to find goaltending. I thought Philly might have had that with Carter, but well...you know. Ersson looks like he may be a good one. Maybe Woll can be that guy for Toronto, but I really don't know. They're definitely moving on from Samsonov if he gives them more duds.

You heard he was the kind of guy that would be good for a team that is rebuilding, but I'm not even sure what exactly San Jose is doing right now. lol They kind of haven't really started rebuilding yet, or are in the super early stages of it. Getting the first overall will help.

Indeed. It's amazing how much dead weight they had in the lineup at once there for awhile. Ugh.

True, although Vegas took it to us pretty good in both matchups, is all. I think they were playing pretty well when they played them the first time, but I don't remember. Second time was definitely when they were struggling. Still would probably be a better matchup right now than Dallas, though. Vegas still finds a way to be a pain in the ass, though. lol

Vegas completely schooled us in both meetings this year. I think you're absolutely right.

Damn. Sweet deal. lol

What? How was I absolving Gallant? I said 'one of' the worst in regards to Quinn. Guess who else I would put on that list?

It doesn't really bother me either, but it's definitely clear he doesn't use his full skill set. I just think sometimes some may take that net presence for granted, especially when I remember they went years without someone like that. That's basically it, I guess.

There's no way it has anything to do with the record. Probably bad exit interviews or they just observed that he's not a very good head coach. Me, personally, one of the worst I've seen. I think Gorton and JD partly lost their jobs because of this hire.

Is that extra?

Worth it.

How much?

Looks like a great time as always. That's cool that a lot of you guys on here meet up and do stuff. It looks like the place was packed. A lot of other Rangers fans there to watch the game also?

How do you feel about the Washington Capitals as a team?

Agreed. Definitely part of the flaws he has. lol

I don't think so. I think he'll be missed when he's gone. I remember for years the Rangers didn't have guys that stood in front of the net and was a presence there, and fans bitched about it. Now they do, and they bitch about it. Again, he has plenty of faults and should definitely do a little more for this size and skating. But, he deserves plenty of kudos for what he does well. As we know, a lot of players aren't willing to do that all or most of the time.

Kreider has his faults for sure, but he'll probably go down as one of the most underappreciated/underrated Rangers ever.

Ovechkin is awesome, no doubt. But if I'm building a team, I think I'm taking Crosby first every time. Yeah, he's just playing out the string at this point. Father time remains undefeated, and the team around him has gotten worse. He'll go down as the best goal scorer of all time. I never thought I'd see someone ever break Wayne's record, it's remarkable.

Perhaps, yes. I was going to say the best since the 2013-2015 run, but I'd say this is even better. More skilled, too. lol

Goodrow another guy clearly just conserving energy for the postseason.
