  1. aside from whatever he's doing, Rempe's presence must play a huge factor in other team's gameplan/psychology. Will be really curious to see how that affects the canes in what should be a fairly evenly matched series

  2. Washington is on their way to a full rebuild. Ovi might force the GM to try to hang on for an extra year or 2 but it's over for the Caps this generation. I think Ovi would retire if it wasn't for Gretzky's record he's chasing.

  3. Even as a Capitals fan this was the expected outcome, I predicted Rangers in 5 assuming Lindgren would steal one because I had seen him steal a lot of games over the season. The Rangers are just better from top to bottom. The Rangers likely would have won in 4 even if the Caps were healthy, which they weren’t. It was the worst I’d ever seen Ovechkin play, and the old guard in general didn’t perform well outside of Wilson. The positive I’ll take is some young guys performed admirably. Lapierre shined, Alexeyev stepped up big on the back end.

    All this being said I just don’t believe in the Rangers going all the way. They certainly could, but even though the Caps got swept I wasn’t impressed with the Rangers at even strength. We know they have stellar special teams but now they’re facing a team that actually outperformed them on special teams in the regular season and won’t be as forgiving as the Caps. I do think the Canes win the series and then lose to Florida in the ECF.

  4. as a Caps fan it's unfortunate but expected, how Ovie disappeared after having a great March and early April does show he is slowing down for sure, but also holy crap we miss having Backstrom and even Kuznetsov, Lindgren did alright (think Jets would have loved that kinda performance ) but with out ANY scoring it's not even a factor at this point

  5. Why is this even a video? They got swept because they shouldn't have even been in the playoffs.

  6. The reason why the Rangers didn't win the cup 2 years ago is because they played 2 straight game 7 series in a row and they were tired by the end of the Lightning series.

  7. As a Rangers fan, this was just a warmup for the boys tbh, 2nd round is where the work really begins.

  8. The Matt Rempe hype is honestly wild. I have never seen a 4th liner who plays 5 minutes a game talked about as much as he is. It's constant.

  9. I liked this but not for this series. I will like the leafs/Bruins, Vegas/Dallas, but the Car vs NYI and such I'd be meh about it.

  10. see I think the craziest thing is that the worst team kept all the games to a one to 2 goal game (except game one) while having 2 main d men injured and then losing 2 more later in the series so even though we got swept I still think they put up a crazy fight all we needed was just to hit the net LMAO too many ez goals missed

  11. Great f'n video Corwin & DZ. First time seeing you guys, very entertaining with your back n forth. look forward to more

  12. You just mentioned it but during the off season it could be fun to do historical/all time great series

  13. I don't know any Rangers fans who dislike Rempe or his style, that just seems to come from the typical Twitter whiners who get their panties in a bunch over anything vaguely physical.

  14. Watch the Rempe hit in slow motion. Both feet were on the ground at time of contact. A lot of people say it was charging, intent to injure blah blah blah.. But it wasn't that bad.

  15. LGR! Its a DISGRACE that Vegas still has us at +750 and with SIX teams ranked higher than us as potential cup winners (and yes i did immediately put 20$ – not a big gambler at all – down on the Rangers to win the cup at +750 so i can celebrate with 150$ when we win lol)

  16. Vegas/the MSM is disrespecting the NYR harrrrrd, case & point:

    We won the Presidents Trophy (curses arent real ESP when it comes to NYR last 3 PT's we won ended in a cup final, a cup win and one game 7 goal away from ANOTHER finals appearance) – we were the only team to sweep rnd 1 – we had NO injuries or players looking out of sorts annnnnnd: Vegas has us at +750 as the SIXTH ranked team to win it RIGHT NOW…that is WILD (yes i placed a bet lol) i was expecting 3 to 1 odds not 7.5 to 1 odds but hey ill take it, but the Media is just as bad i think Sportsnet had 'should we start to consider NYR a REAL Cup Contender?!' as a title for a Youtube vid they put out a day or two ago, after the sweep…the disrespect is NUTS…but thats fine….we'll win AND ill take Vegas' money lol

  17. Rust vs Rest:
    IMO i find that if the 'rest' team gets 5+ days off they DO often have rust in game 1 but the longer the series goes the more that rest starts to help…but the NYR have the perfect mix of just a couple (3 or 4?) days off AND plenty of time to scout the opponent they knew they'd end up with…id say 3days rest is the ideal balance, only want it longer if u have injuries u want to recover from etc

  18. NHL should have just automatically place Rangers to second round to save embarrassment to Ovechkin
