GDT [RS] (#1) Rangers @ Washington Capitals — If Tom Wilson Lives, We Riot!

[Pete]

So far, doesn't look much different than any system Quinn had, structurally.

Difference is battle level and more fluidity. They just tuned DQ out at some point.

Because when you keep everything compact to yourself, you square to the shot and have your extremities controlled instead of flailing and stabbing at the puck

And how would that have helped a laser to the top corner? It wouldn't. The puck didn't go thru him. It went over the shoulder.

Yepp they look like they actually care so far. And the physicality is much improved. They look like an nhl team.

[TwoMinutesForNothing]

No fights and no goals.  Let down of a 1st.

[BlairBettsBlocksEverything]

Nils should’ve been in over Tinordi

bold statement I know

[Blue Heaven]

Like the physicality by the Rangers so far. 

Wilson has been a non-factor.  

If shit doesn't go down with Wilson, gonna have to wait until February.

I’d play Hajek over him and that’s saying a lot

Exactly. It went over his shoulder basically. If you’re controlled and squaring yourself, pucks aren’t going over your dipped shoulder. They are hitting you. When you flail like that you dip your shoulder. 
 

  Guy we disagree. Can we move on from it?

Here, let Barkley show you how it’s done. Watch.

Last time the rangers hit this much, Torts was coach. I fucking love it.

How about you punt tinordi and hajek to the A and bring up Jones. He’s better then both.

Wayne is sniping right now LOL

I know it’s kind of absurd but I don’t mind the TNT crew. Lots of personality.

Shit, I'd probably want to see Kravtsov over Tinordi on D

They are infinitely  better.

Because you can’t have a rookie making mistakes with another rookie. Coach rather have a vet making mistakes with another vet.

Been waiting all day, excited to see the season start with this lineup, tune in and bam - Georgiev. That's like getting a stripper for your bachelor party, and the stripper turns out to be your ex. I mean sure, I'm gonna watch, just maybe not tip as much.....

[fletch]

Caps powerplay still lethal.  

Panarin still an amazing puck distributor.

Love the physical play from the Rangers.

Cringed at a couple of bad turnovers in the defensive zone.

Seeing reasons for optimism

[The Dude]

Hahahahahahahahaha! Harder to play against! Aaaaahahahahshahahaha!

Not even just the ex, but that ex you prefer not to admit you were ever with.

Even the stripper would probably flop less too.

The good news is the pizza we ordered for dinner tastes pretty good reheated

How’d you reheat? Oven or microwave? 

[SaveByRichter35]

I actually like the PP clock in the slot like that
