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

[Winter]

Jack Johnson just tied us in goals on the season 

[RichieNextel305]

We just get smoked and the game on after ours on TNT features Jack Johnson looking like fucking Pavel Bure on a breakaway to start the game.

Can’t script it.

Goodrow POTG.  Can't say anything bad about him tonight. 

Or... Good. 

 

Blais is the only one engaged.  Kakko and Trouba too but .. Everyone else.  Crap. Absolute crap.

[Sharpshooter]

Incredible segway, eh?

NHL EYES GAME

Commissioner Gary Bettman, Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly and senior vice president of player safety George Parros were all in attendance for the first Rangers-Capitals meeting since a game last season included six fights in the first five minutes.

Blais and Washington defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk got into it less than two minutes in, but officials stepped in between them and other potential combatants before anyone could drop the gloves.

It was clear the message had gotten through to play hockey and not turn the night into a boxing event.

“Our players and our coaches and our managers are professionals,” Bettman said beforehand. “They know what’s expected of them, and we think it would be best if everybody focused on being on the right side of the line as opposed to the wrong side of the line.”

[The Dude]

I envision this as what the rest of the season will look like. 

 

Harder to watch.  Not harder to play against. 

 

Uninspired, pussy hockey.

Dreadful on all fronts.

I didn't see anything no. Everyone's thinking here is basically not wanting to start him in back to back games even though it's the first game of the season against a division rival. I don't get it.

[RichieNextel305]

I totally get that Igor hasn’t played as many games in a season as he likely will this year. But good grief. If his gas tank is that low, why sign him to a contract?

 

[The Dude]

Kravtsov and Jones for Towes?
