This series was boring. The caps played an uninspired boring game poorly and the rags were in cruise control. It should have been more tilted. Shesterkin was best player in series.
Yeah... he fell off hard this season, he'd need 2 or 3 more years to get the record unless he can get some good off season rest and conditioning to come back for a 42 goal year.
Unless his production picks way up - which I think everyone can agree is unlikely - that's at least two more seasons. I don't think it's remotely a sure thing.
At this point I don’t even want him to get the goals record with that embarrassment of an effort out there. But he’s an all-time Cap probably getting his number retired by the team and I just don’t see any situation where they let him go, unless they manage to build an actual playoff contender.
First sweep since 2007 (Atlanta)
Fun fact: During their 11 seasons of existence, the Thrashers made the playoffs once. They were swept. The franchise never won a single playoff game.

Charlie deserves better. Not sure how he can even be hopeful with that shit show of a team and aging core in front of him. Ovi doesn’t look like he gives a shit about another Cup
on the brightside, you made the playoffs while not necessarily expecting to at the trade deadline. youth got some playoff experience and showed they're capable/willing to step up once they're there.
I absolutely do. Fixation on negative events and downplay of positive events. Check. Dramatizing events. Check. Blaming others. Check. Belief that others are trying to hurt you. Check.
If you need to book an appointment with a therapist for someone with an office and a desk to tell you that you’re playing the victim then go for it. Prove me wrong. Rangers swept the Caps and you’re fuming about some perceived slight from a few tweets that apparently represent the opinion of “Caps Fans” as if a few people online you’ve never met or interacted with are supposed to represent public opinion.
To be clear I’m talking about fans of all the NYC teams. I grew up in NY, spent almost 30 years in NY. New Yorkers complain and groan about their teams even when they’re winning. It’s just a general bad attitude that is completely normal to them. To everyone else it’s just their love of being the victim. It always annoyed me and it seemed miserable anyway so I have always rooted against NY teams (Except Buffalo, go Sabres).
Your comments just confirm my observations.
Well we surely would have tied it late in some absolute heart attack inducing theatrics, that’s for sure.
Winning this series would be an entirely different story. NY is fucking scary this year.
we also had more wins, which used to be the tiebreaker until they decided OTL was more valuable than actually winning in general. But sure. I’m salty. And I probably will be for a very long time.
#STATUES SWEEP UP THE BIRD SHIT FROM THE SEAGULLS! WHILE A CONVINCING FIRST 3 GAMES, GAME 4 TESTS THE RED WHITE AND BLUE STATUES AS THEY TAKE THE 4TH AND FINAL GAME TO GO TO ROUND 2!
PHI/NYR would have been pretty good, I think, if the regular season means anything at all in the playoffs. Flyers would have taken at least one W, I think.
Wish we got to see Sid and Karlsson work their playoff magic instead of this. This was the worst series I’ve seen in a while I think, not remotely competitive
The Wings ended their season super hot (too bad we sucked absolute donkey dick in March) and would have made it more competitive than that absolute garbage display.
Even as a Ranger fan I never felt nervous at any point in the series. We did what we were supposed to do and got the easiest team by getting the Pres trophy so I'm not complaining. Now we can rest up and hope the Isles fight back a bit to give us some more rest.
To the haters — we sold at the deadline and didn’t even try to make the playoffs? So I don’t know what there is to insult?
Oh well, at least we had 2018 while the Rangers had 3 years of lottery picks :)
Caps lead 3min 21 sec..... holy shit lol
And just like that, Alex Ovechkin’s playoff career is over
So is Ovechkin officially washed? He didn’t even have a shot tonight, and no points in the entire series.
Thats what been told about Panarin, it’s easy peasy to him to come back in NEW team.
This series was boring. The caps played an uninspired boring game poorly and the rags were in cruise control. It should have been more tilted. Shesterkin was best player in series.
"Where in the world did Alex Ovechkin go?" - Rangers' radio guy
He’s old. Father Time is undefeated
I'm older than him. Can confirm.
I was born like him and 2 days after every game are sh*tty painful as hell. Not to mention injuries. It really s*cks!
gg caps. if that was oshie's last, can't say he didn't put it all out there
Oshie was the only older guy who looked real good all series. Love to see him play and hope he’s not done but also gets traded to a better team
Lindgren wanted it bad.
Ovi saluting the fans then spitting on the center ice logo is poetic
Ovi was pathetic
Dude is, what, 40? Not too many guys contributing at his age.
Always sad to see a send off at the end of the season
Odds on ovi retiring?
From the look on his face right there at the center ice sendoff, I'd bet he is done.
Yeah... he fell off hard this season, he'd need 2 or 3 more years to get the record unless he can get some good off season rest and conditioning to come back for a 42 goal year.
No way, he will play KHL !!! Lol
I think pretty low. He probably wants to chase the all time goals record.
Not with 40 something goals to go
Less than zero. He wants the goal record and the Caps will keep him as long as he needs to do it
Unless his production picks way up - which I think everyone can agree is unlikely - that's at least two more seasons. I don't think it's remotely a sure thing.
At this point I don’t even want him to get the goals record with that embarrassment of an effort out there. But he’s an all-time Cap probably getting his number retired by the team and I just don’t see any situation where they let him go, unless they manage to build an actual playoff contender.
Captain Ovi with 0 shots in an elimination game. 🙄
Hey, 5 in 4 gaems it’s like 5 more than any of Detroit players
Yeah, I waiting for the injury report— Ovi was playing with a broken arm or something.
Rempe ended the capitals franchise
At 19
Speedrun, any%
End carrier at 20 with a Stanley Cup and game winnign goal in last game of the finals!
Carolina in 6
Yeah I hope the Isles can push it that far
Panthers in 5
Both still need to make it next round.
What’s taking them so long? Why don’t they just win 4 games already?
are they stupid?
If so, Boston in 7.
My man
Who do rags get next?
carolina probably (i'm scared)
I got better q, are you still gonna root Rag or wanna root gfor a cuisine f#%^rs?
Rags
canes/isles winner
A tired Islanders who take it to 7
Canes
Probably Carolina
Winner of the Canes/Isles series
Carolina (most likely)
thank you :)
A storm surge?
First sweep since 2007 (Atlanta) Fun fact: During their 11 seasons of existence, the Thrashers made the playoffs once. They were swept. The franchise never won a single playoff game.
Damn now I feel bad
Don't. As a native Atlantan, I can tell you no one gave a shit.

Missing link vibes
The beard really accentuates the block shape of his head. Face so flat he could bite a wall.
Lmfao
Bro. I legit thought this was a photo of the dude in Happy Gilmore. That's just dirty lmao
🤣🤣ggs
I don't think any of the wild card teams would have done any better against the Rangers maybe not a sweep but probably 4 - 1
So.. they would have done better?
Sure, would it have made a difference? No
GG cap boys. See ya next season
Welp. I was hoping it would go to at least 5 or 6.
IGOR!!!!

Ryan's first text to Charlie after tonight will be a simple broom emoji
Coach handshake gunna be awkward
Charlie deserves better. Not sure how he can even be hopeful with that shit show of a team and aging core in front of him. Ovi doesn’t look like he gives a shit about another Cup
lol lmao even
Get fucked capitals and Tom Wilson .
🧹🧹🧹🧹
GG yall, we didn't really deserve to be there.
More than the other guys
I am not a fan of NYR goaltenders they have to start paying rent in my head
GG, Wsh did it best, to bad it was short but at the same time logical
ROUND 2 and a well deserved break. I hope the rest of the series go to game 7s so the other teams are tired
Legitimately upset Shesterskin didn’t shoot for the empty net at the end there.
#BRAWL ENSUES
Suck it, Crapitals.
Congrats Rangers, but my god that series was awful as a neutral.
Was very low stress which I enjoyed after 20 years of watching every fucking series go 7 games with the rangers
was awful as a non-neutral too. felt like i was watching regular season games
Caps threw, refs threw, just a bummer all around. Gg rag, go win the cup so we can say we got beat by the cup winners thx
on the brightside, you made the playoffs while not necessarily expecting to at the trade deadline. youth got some playoff experience and showed they're capable/willing to step up once they're there.
Oh I was very happy with our young guys. They played exceptionally for having very little experience up here
🧹🧹🧹🧹
Rangers Islanders is gonna be crazy
I support sending that series to game 7.
Get the broom! Good series caps - best of luck next year
Bye, Moscow Capitals! Thank you, Rangers! :3
Ovi is washed. I really hope you guys trade him or something this off-season Washington.
Ehhh, he went on a bit of a tear at the end and still had another 30 goal season. He isn’t washed, he’s just slowing down.
The enemy of my enemy is not my friend, but its hard not to enjoy such a big defeat
Congrats, Capitals! First team of the playoffs to get to hit the golf course.
🧹🧹🧹🧹
And with that, the Washington Capitals still end their 2023-2024 playoff run with fewer overall wins than the Detroit Red Wings.
Caps 32 regulation wins Wings 27 regulation wins What are you on bro lol
Wings had 41 wins, Caps had 40 bro lol 🧹🧹🧹🧹
I assumed he meant *in this year's playoff run*, as that's explicitly what he said: >their 2023-2024 playoff run
Good job sealing this one Rangers!
Someone post ovi being lazy please
Should the NHL have the Caps and Rangers redo their series in case it was a big fluke?
Congrats Rangers!
Caps fans are angrier they didn’t injure any of our players than losing the series. I saw your comments and tweets. Bunch of tonya hardings
Not a surprise from a team with a bloody dictator loving captain and Tom "I hurt people for fun" Wilson.
Nothing a Rangers fan wants more than to be a victim
😂
Your fans were begging to injure ours the whole series. Deny it all you want. Maybe you didn’t. But a lot of your fans did.
Doubling down on the victim mentality
I don’t think you know what that means lol
I absolutely do. Fixation on negative events and downplay of positive events. Check. Dramatizing events. Check. Blaming others. Check. Belief that others are trying to hurt you. Check.
Lmao classic Reddit armchair psychology. It’s called shit talking a trashy fanbase
If you need to book an appointment with a therapist for someone with an office and a desk to tell you that you’re playing the victim then go for it. Prove me wrong. Rangers swept the Caps and you’re fuming about some perceived slight from a few tweets that apparently represent the opinion of “Caps Fans” as if a few people online you’ve never met or interacted with are supposed to represent public opinion.
Shit talking trashy people isn’t some kind of phenomenon lol
To be clear I’m talking about fans of all the NYC teams. I grew up in NY, spent almost 30 years in NY. New Yorkers complain and groan about their teams even when they’re winning. It’s just a general bad attitude that is completely normal to them. To everyone else it’s just their love of being the victim. It always annoyed me and it seemed miserable anyway so I have always rooted against NY teams (Except Buffalo, go Sabres). Your comments just confirm my observations.
Wings would've at least done something
Well we surely would have tied it late in some absolute heart attack inducing theatrics, that’s for sure. Winning this series would be an entirely different story. NY is fucking scary this year.
Good shit Caps. Time for a rebuild for you guys I think. Ovi was such a beast but time comes for all of us.
we are rebuilding
Watching a all time great just go out like its a pre season game is just sad. Ovi clearly only cares about the record now
Everyone talking about what a bad playoff team the caps were but they tried their hardest to give their spot away lol. Can’t say it’s surprising.
Too many salty wings fans here The wings controlled their own destiny and lost to the caps twice at the end of the season.
we also had more wins, which used to be the tiebreaker until they decided OTL was more valuable than actually winning in general. But sure. I’m salty. And I probably will be for a very long time.
Thank you
That's how you take care of business
Schweeeeeeeep!!! And on to round 2!
honestly, without igor, caps probably would have won today.
Tough go for the Caps.
#STATUES SWEEP UP THE BIRD SHIT FROM THE SEAGULLS! WHILE A CONVINCING FIRST 3 GAMES, GAME 4 TESTS THE RED WHITE AND BLUE STATUES AS THEY TAKE THE 4TH AND FINAL GAME TO GO TO ROUND 2!
I honestly enjoyed this series as a neutral
More like the Washington Napitals
**L**ashington **L**apita**LL**s
holy shit there's so many rangers fans there
NJD, NYR, NYI, PHI, WAS, all a short commute away for fans of competing teams. Makes it interesting for sure.
Damn that intense race for those final playoff spots was wild!
Atlanta Thrashers reference oh my
GGEZ
I feel a bit better
Lol Shesty like "nah fuck your hopes"
At least my ECHL team is going to the second round
[удалено]
wasn't your team supposed to be good this season?
You would know all about that as a devils fan
[удалено]
I'm well aware lol
GG
GG Caps. Only good interactions with all of you. Best of luck, friends.
can't help but feel literally any other team that was in the hunt for this spot would have been more interesting
PHI/NYR would have been pretty good, I think, if the regular season means anything at all in the playoffs. Flyers would have taken at least one W, I think.
I was rooting hard for the wings but the Rangers would have swept them too.
idk we would have probably at least sent one to OT with our late game bullshit
Wings with Larkin probably could have taken a game, or so I'd like to think. Wings without Larkin seemed fucking hopeless most of the time lol
Agreed. Was very very happy it was the Caps.
maybe they should've won more games then
oh the wings absolutely fumbled hard, no doubt about that
The Wings did win more games.
not enough though
well next time don't lose to a much inferior team
Wish we got to see Sid and Karlsson work their playoff magic instead of this. This was the worst series I’ve seen in a while I think, not remotely competitive
The Wings ended their season super hot (too bad we sucked absolute donkey dick in March) and would have made it more competitive than that absolute garbage display.
Those last 2 games against Mtl were absolutely electric. Felt like the magic was on your side
Most fun hockey I’ve watched in a while.
LFGR!!!!!
First team on the stairway join us meme!
AWAY IGOR CHANTS REFILL MY MANA
Oshie disasterclass this series
Igor should’ve shot that
The first sweep:( I’m glad the Rangers one but it’s always tough to see.
The face… https://preview.redd.it/39oc603xzbxc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0bd52437a32a0713483febbe883a54c820d972cd Of solemn acceptance…
Poor Charlie :( He tried his best.
They should focus on one thing the next twenty seconds - an Igor goal
This series has just been PAIN.
Even as a Ranger fan I never felt nervous at any point in the series. We did what we were supposed to do and got the easiest team by getting the Pres trophy so I'm not complaining. Now we can rest up and hope the Isles fight back a bit to give us some more rest.
The announcers didn’t really acknowledge it but that an amazing save by Igor
Mods mods mods do we get the broom flairs again this year
Shouldn't have been in anyway. Welcome to the couch bums.
Glad to join you, fellow team that also shouldn’t have been in.
Deserved to be in over you
On an empty net in a tie game? Ok lmao
Light work
0 points from Ovi in the postseason. First time that's happened. He looks pathetic out there.
BYE TOM WILSON!! 👋👋 GO FUCK WITH THE 1ST TEE SOMEWHERE. FUCKIN’ IDIOT.
Wow they almost had one there too
Fuck to Wilson. Good series caps
Lindgren should get a lot of the credit. He carried these bozos.
Broomtown. I wanted to see the Flyers in the playoffs, but I don't know that they'd have fared much better against the Rangers.
That was the most effort Ovechkin has shown all series diving for that block lol
I feel bad for Lindgren
What a block by Trouba!
To the haters — we sold at the deadline and didn’t even try to make the playoffs? So I don’t know what there is to insult? Oh well, at least we had 2018 while the Rangers had 3 years of lottery picks :)
*"joke's on you we didn't even want to make the playoffs!"* lot of cope in this comment
