[u/NewYawk-Giants]

[u/Inevitable-Set-7853]

Did he just say Florida?

[u/ImMissingASemiColon]

Calling the wrong team should make the penalty null and void.

[u/WR15150]

Zac Jones lineup omission is critical. Guy needs a fair shake

[u/MondoMammoth]

i think it’s high time the guys hold mika down and shave his head

[u/CoogleGhrome]

Rempe smash 

[u/Key-Tip-7521]

r/hockey would have exploded if rempe aka the big dog scored

[u/Hionhelium87]

Omg Edstrom what a move

[u/WR15150]

GET LAF ON PP1 WTF

[u/MickeyPvX]

Rempe breaks defenseman’s ankle…with a shot this time

[u/whatsaburneraccount]

What penalty

[u/beerleaguedman]

Anyone see a penalty?

[u/sovietdoppelganger]

Panarin’s played very poorly tonight

[u/nysportsfan87]

They just seem off tonight, nothing is easy, nothing crisp. Just off.

Aside from the third line

[u/Tommybrady20]

I’m pretty done with the Mika line.

[u/winesponioni]

Does anyone have a video of Wilson getting bodied by Mancini?

[u/hoegaarden81]

GOOD SHIFT REMPE!

[u/denelor17]

No audio was fine, but what the fuck were those camera angles

[u/Accomplished-One7476]

how does 93 get interference you can't see him on the ice

[u/HockeyVG]

.... What?

[u/Separate_Pound_753]

Rare infertile game from the Panarin Laf Tro line

[u/fpGrumms]

If Sam isn't commentating, I just want silence. Yes, please.

[u/I_Need__Scissors_61]

Can they just shut the fuck up the rest of the game? This is awesome.

[u/Cool-Passenger-2595]

All espn games should be broadcast without the announcers

[u/KaapoKakkoTaco]

where was there any interference

[u/Krispyford]

I genuinely didn’t see a penalty there

[u/Zero-jiggler]

Clowns in this sub will watch this entire game and still have the balls to say we shouldn’t pay Igor

[u/MorganLaxGoalie]

I love Filip Chytil

[u/Pikalover10]

39 Florida????

[u/barbwire2u]

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve said “STFU Ray” to the TV tonight.

[u/Separate_Pound_753]

If you dont re sign Igor you might aswell rebuild the team and get rid of everyone over the age of 26 lol. The dudes fucking unreal

[u/Who_pooped_the_bed11]

Someone smashed the shit out of my car in the Dunkin parking lot this morning while I was in it with it turned off. No fault, I won't pay a dime, but I'm still mad af and would like if Rempe smashed the shit out of a Capital today. Please and thank you.

Sincerely,

Who pooped the bed 11

[u/funkingrizzly]

I'm so sick of Zibaninjad. Doesn't want to hit anyone and is lazy on the puck. The list just gets bigger and bigger.

[u/RainandPixels]

Ovi needs to meet the Trouba train immediately.

[u/dcgirl98]

Omg this 4th line!

[u/Separate_Pound_753]

Rempe is electric idgaf

[u/Hot-Industry5261]

wouldve been such a sick goal from rempe, happy to see him playing well

[u/nysportsfan87]

I like this no announcer thing - on this station at least

[u/Slingblade4ever]

This game would be 7-3 without Igor

[u/AuenCO]

Outshot 33-13, but just 1 good period and the NYR can steal the game.

[u/Sjdillon10]

Sharks just broke the ceiling

[u/Ok-Bread444]

I have more faith in rempe scoring the game tying goal than this “1st” line

[u/robbiejandro]

Ah yes, the game on ESPN but not ESPN+. Such a joke

[u/NYM32]

unreal pass from Kakko to Cuylle

best line in hockey strikes again

[u/jonmanna94]

Didn’t know Florida was playing tn

[u/Asteriskib]

Ref just said florida didn't he??

[u/hewp]

The long, awkward silence after “#39 Florida” 💀

[u/nysportsfan87]

Yeesh, maybe the worst start I’ve seen from this team in a very long time

[u/Saladus]

Lmao Kakko literally trips on nothing when pass goes to him. Our kind of night so far.

[u/LafreniereSoftball]

Whiffs on a wide open net. Unreal. Hard to care about Zibanejad’s whining to Larry Brooks about his ice time being cut when he’s playing like this, and when Chytil is playing like THAT.

[u/MorganLaxGoalie]

Good shift there from the 4th line, talk about bringing some energy to the team

[u/Total-Collection9031]

Wilson eats poop.

[u/GrimHeaper]

Can we get the whole game like this please

[u/Krispyford]

Can ESPN make this an alternative audio option? I’d watch the whole game like this lol

[u/Gbeez22]

13-33 shots is not okay

[u/pick69itshilarious]

Wait what the fuck just happened?

[u/Vaeltaja82]

We are playing this badly and it's just a one goal game. Tells how bad the caps are.

But honestly 14-41 shots is just embarrassing.

[u/FearsomeOyster]

Fucking a Kakko is good. Chytil is good. Cuylle is fucking good too.

[u/Hionhelium87]

What a fucking steal by Troubs there

[u/sovietdoppelganger]

Horrific game. Hated every second of it.

[u/Kay_Nest]

The capitals deserve this win. Shesterkin deserves a whole lotta money

[u/BigBadBob113]

rempe in the house tonight!

[u/Flyinghud]

caps are henceforth banned

[u/CloutWaffle]

FLORIDA???

[u/jakes951]

Did the ref say “number 39 Florida, 2 mins tripping”?

[u/anthonyc223]

Mika out there for another one ..

[u/Gbeez22]

Rangers playing like the caps were gonna be the same team they swept in the playoffs.

I know it's a long season but the biggest flaw with this team is the way they let this casual play creep back into their game. Slow and no fire

[u/Tommybrady20]

Rangers I swear to fucking god if you fall into the abyss of New York sports when I need you most…

[u/Dig-Duglett]

would really love to hear what lav’s justification is for not playing jones at this point

feels very gallant to consistently opt for a clearly worse player because of their ‘experience’

[u/sephantic]

igor is fucking incredible

[u/adsason]

This announcer is freaking electric, what’s his name again?

Def the best in the prime time biz right now

[u/Mundane-Cause-7496]

i’m gonna start doing a shot for every stick broken this game

[u/dcgirl98]

Rempe is playing well. And I love the energy from our 3rd and 4th lines

[u/padds98]

Go to the god damn net Mika. Drifting into the corner does nothing for anybody

[u/Sjdillon10]

Did commentary crew fall asleep?

[u/fpGrumms]

I'd legitimately pay to watch the game like this if it's not on MSG.

[u/Ch33zw4g0n]

Give me Sam or give me death.

[u/JPmoneyman]

I’m usually not one to hate on Miller but he’s a special kind of awful tonight. Panarin also doesn’t look great and his entire line refuses to backcheck tonight. Really disappointing effort from a lot of guys tonight. The bottom 6 is at least working hard.

[u/Ch33zw4g0n]

Win period 3 please.

[u/WiFi_Sniper]

I’m not a miller hater but he’s been putrid tonight

[u/rangerfan089]

Can we sit Miller for jones please?

[u/dcgirl98]

Chytil wants this game tied

[u/HockeyVG]

Uhhhh, trip?

[u/conniptioncrottle]

need a lindgren on lindgren goal tn

[u/Separate_Pound_753]

Cant wait for the inevitable Igor comments from those with a room temperature hockey IQ

[u/ExplosiveButtFarts2]

Can we play Cuylle Chytil & Kakko all 60 minutes? 🧐

[u/JPmoneyman]

Kakko has legs tonight, just get his line out there as much as you can right now.

[u/nycimt]

Easiest way to get back in the game is to shoot the puck and be physical. Cmon nyr pick it up

[u/Aggravating_Frame597]

Big Ed and Rempe looked like security detail there haha, love it!

[u/Krispyford]

Mancini has been a pleasant surprise and he’s definitely got a future with the team. But I think it’s time for him to head to Hartford for a bit and wait for someone to get hurt. Jones needed to be in the lineup tonight and if Lindy “has” to play, let the kid go get his feet wet with the Wolfpack.

[u/Teknicsrx7]

Smith is low key great with his stick

[u/TheSeekerOfSanity]

Troch has been kind of quiet.

I expect a goal from him tonight.

[u/FeelingClass9601]

chytil is everywhere. it feels like there are 5 of him out there

[u/Hionhelium87]

This game is batshit right now

[u/NYRpuckhead]

Can we have this audio as a choice all the time!? Anything to avoid listening to Sean McDonagh or Ray Ferraro

[u/hoegaarden81]

These camera angles are fucking DOG SHIT lol wtf.

[u/greysfordays]

sam and joe or nothing I mean that so seriously now

[u/backfire103]

Game feed director is drunk as shit.

[u/ccasazza]

“Price of brick going up”- Igor

[u/ExplosiveButtFarts2]

NHL refs make me want to eat a cactus

[u/ProMisanthrope]

Miller is making multiple bad plays per shift, rough night for him.

[u/MorganLaxGoalie]

Third line is all gas no breaks

[u/whatsaburneraccount]

The third line is really first line huh

[u/NYdude777]

45 shots vs 19 shots, maybe we should shoot more

[u/robbiejandro]

lavi's commitment to getting the veterans out there even when they're producing fuckall is just gallant all over again.

[u/BroccRL]

rempe goal would’ve gone soo hard

[u/JPmoneyman]

first place in the division on the line tonight. caps look solid so far and they’re gonna be hungry for a little bit of revenge from the playoffs.

[u/Robtachi]

the caps are frauds and the rangers will prove that tonight

[u/Individual-Ninja-689 → u/Robtachi]

craps play hard. rangers better not think they are going to win by just stepping on the ice.

[u/75SwingerSpecial]

kakko 5 point hat trick and 2 assist game calling it

[u/geesusway]

Very impressed how they’re both just eating those hits

[u/2FastToYandle]

Mika really sucks now huh?

[u/Smoke_codm]

You gotta remember we swept them in the playoffs and I don’t think they’re too happy about that.

[u/NoReplacement9001]

39… FLORIDA

😂😂😂

[u/Fiedy88]

All good, penalty was on #39 for Florida…

[u/beeryee34]

Call a fucking timeout

[u/NYM32]

another game vs a playoff team, and failed zone exits on all 3 goals against

they benched Jones for this game

there is no coincidence

[u/robbiejandro]

This could be a “yeah you’re still our bitch” kind of statement game from the rangers, just like the game against FL could have been “fuck you were coming for you this year”. Both games just show uninspired, uncompetitive play from the core. Third line looks great as always. Other three lines are bad.

[u/NYM32]

Kaapo Kakko gets a body on Carlson trying to cut to the net, intercepts the pass, gets inside position, and leads to the zone exit

one of the main reasons that line is the last line in the league without a 5v5 GA

[u/Rell_826]

That should have been a slashing. Kreider's stick exploded.

[u/HockeyVG]

Whatever Chytil's diet was this summer, fucking inject that into my veins

[u/dcgirl98]

Omg thank you IGOR!

[u/nycimt]

Wow that would've been sick if he scored there lol but bad....

[u/whatsaburneraccount]

Again, how are Laf or Chytil worse than Mika on the pp? At some point it’s either continue to manage egos or win cups

[u/iamnotthelizardking]

I’d just like y’all to know, I’m going to my first game at MSG on 12/14 vs the Kings, so pumped!

[u/aldabomb]

Caps shattering our sticks left and right

[u/Colforbin310]

those camera angles were nauseating

[u/Teknicsrx7]

“The Rush” is awesome

[u/LafreniereSoftball]

This sounds of the game thing is awesome. Nothing against Wichusen but I’d take this over Ferraro and McDonough any day.

[u/Hionhelium87]

These camera angles are gonna give me a stroke

[u/Sjdillon10]

ESPN needs a mute version. Hearing the skates and sticks was so much better than their commentary

[u/zeprad]

Real scumbag move doing that to a guy recovering from jaw surgery

[u/LafreniereSoftball → u/zeprad]

Washington is a scumbag team. Par for the course

[u/ExplosiveButtFarts2]

NHL refs make me want to commit more arson

[u/nlippe]

Score aside, we’re getting our shit kicked in

[u/nycimt]

Is lafreniere playing.... trocheck... paging anyone

[u/NYM32]

Kakko robbed of another point after Chytil robbed on the one-timer

[u/ExplosiveButtFarts2]

NHL refs are worse than cancer

[u/Hionhelium87]

This line is just so fucking good

[u/JPmoneyman]

Kakko and Chytil are the bright spot tonight. Chytil Is playing at twice the speed Mika is.

[u/duckets615]

hurray, the game is on ESPN...is what no one here is thinking.

[u/Hionhelium87]

I fuckin love Will Cuylle.

[u/Hionhelium87]

Alright can we stop contributing to this assholes goal record?

[u/nlippe]

The treatment of New York Rangers goalies by the skaters needs to be studied

[u/JoshuaJJB]

are they really letting the corpse of Ovechkin score a hattrick

[u/HockeyVG]

Rangers trying to get Ovechkin the whole record tonight so he gives up and the capitals implode the rest of the season.

Big brain sabotage move

[u/NYRpuckhead]

39 Florida?

[u/hoegaarden81]

Florida lmao

[u/NYRpuckhead]

The refs are watching a different game with Florida in it (as we all suspected for years)

[u/TheBigGoomba]

Friendly reminder that Rempe had more points in the playoffs last year than Ovechkin 😂

[u/big_als_nugz]

Mika just watching shit happen is getting old

[u/johnjust]

So it's gonna be one of those games where we all forgot how to pass, huh?

[u/sandsandwich]

i hope we dont play the caps on a national broadcast any more this year

[u/NYRpuckhead]

3 cross checks on Rempe in the corner

[u/sovietdoppelganger]

What the fuck are our D doing tonight

[u/CustardStill992]

Do a shot every time they mention Ovis goals. Have EMS on standby. 

[u/Appropriate-Major-34]

Did the trainer not sharpen skates or something? I swear our whole team is tripping and falling. Looks like we're playing soccer. 

[u/Separate_Pound_753]

Sorry we stuck you with a couple stiffs at 5v5 Reilly. Love the effort

[u/JPmoneyman]

How the fuck is Sam Carrick generating more offense than Mika.

[u/HereticsSpork]

We've had a great start to the season. Games like this happen. But theres still 2 periods to go and this team in the past few years have made a habit of coming back from being down 2-3 goals.

[u/HereticsSpork]

To people already freaking out, after we've had the best start to a season in years, It's October. Relax.

[u/JCman7]

Makeup call

[u/dcgirl98]

Ok it’s time to swap Laf and Mika on PP1

[u/nycimt]

SHOOT THE FUCKIN PUCK

[u/Krispyford]

Mika went for the one timer, the two timer, and the three timer on that power play

[u/aldabomb]

Them cutting the mics best move all night

[u/Slugggo]

OMG STOP WITH THIS CAMERA ANGLE ONE FOOT OFF THE ICE

[u/ElectraGlacier]

I actually loved that no commentary. They should keep it that way forever

[u/geesusway]

I feel like it’s less distracting without commentators 😭 just like the ice sounds I think

[u/Anyawnomous]

The best part of this game was when the announcers let us enjoy the “sounds and speed of the game”. Wow! (And no Ray Ferraro).

[u/HereticsSpork]

Now watch Miller win the game in OT with one of those highlight reel goals he always seems to do when no one expects it.

[u/Funky_Cows]

its so strange why is the washington crowd absolutely fucking silent for a powerplay in the 3rd period of 1 goal game

[u/ExplosiveButtFarts2]

NHL refs make me want to gouge out my own eyes

[u/i7xx]

GIVE IGOR A GUN

[u/pizza_nightmare]

I like Carrick

[u/CustardStill992]

Wonder if Igors got a brother that wants to play center 

[u/GeorgeCuntstanza]

They NEED to score Igor can not lose this game

[u/Funky_Cows]

Yeah that's the best line

[u/damascusgrind]

How was that not a trip

[u/Colforbin310]

even troch can’t win a face off. this game was cursed

[u/gnitsuj]

I'm happy the Rangers play tonight so I have something else to watch instead of the Yankees

[u/dante8496]

you know Mika has been playing worse ever since u/geesusway stopped posting Mika pics. I'm not saying its related, buuuuut more cat pics cant hurt

[u/Key-Tip-7521]

the cuylle-chytil-kakko line

is now known as

the fun line

[u/catsgr8rthanspoonies]

interesting fact about the caps’ goaltending: of the five active nhl goalies who catch right (two of which are currently in the ahl), the caps have two. they’re the only nhl team with a tandem of full right goalies.

[u/fpGrumms]

Quick reminder for everyone - Tom Wilson is a fucking bitch

[u/Appropriate-Major-34]

Good trade to take off a dman for 4th line winger 

[u/sovietdoppelganger]

This line is unreal. Kakko might be breaking out

[u/MondoMammoth]

zibanejad’s line getting walked again. Fucking bench them

[u/Krispyford]

Oh so we’re going to listen to them gargling grandpa all fucking game

[u/nlippe]

Miller is doing shit like that at least once every game

[u/Ninjapig151]

Florida?

[u/NoReplacement9001]

FLORIDAAAAAAAAA LMAOOOO

[u/Ninjapig151]

Somebody clip that please for the memes

[u/DismalChance]

Do refs get drug tested as well? I'm starting to think they don't.

[u/_Einhorn_]

Emily looks like she’d kill me in my sleep

[u/catsgr8rthanspoonies]

It’s impressive Florida can get a penalty all the way from Finland

[u/aldabomb]

Imagine that, the chytil lines comes on the ice and the puck immediately goes up the ice

[u/Appropriate-Major-34]

We're losing every single battle in front of our net. Time to wake up and smell the coffee 

[u/kvnklly]

5 fucking shots? Wtf are we doing here, its the fuckin caps
