Pretty rude to include RAS in the title. We are happy to be here and it's all gravy from here on out.

The Penguins have 267 scored 226 allowed, the Caps are at 272 and 237. I know the fancies have a torrid love affair with the Penguins at 5v5 but in actual outcomes the Penguins' PP and PK are both better than the Caps' so the Caps come out as the better team 5v5. With DeSmith instead of Jarry the teams are functionally identical and I don't know of any specific matchup issues that make one preferable to the other. So you'd rather play the one that doesn't have Tom Wilson on it.

On the other hand, Trouba and Miller full speed crushing him together would be pretty great.

Kaapo Kakko needs to keep playing like he did tonight too, even though Chytil’s goal got disallowed that was a great move using his size to take the puck to the net Kreider style

It really sucks that he was injured so much this year because the kid flashed a ton of talent. He's a bull on the puck.

I really don't understand the value in this guy. He gets like 10 goals a year and the Rangers decided to pay him big time and give him an A. And now they miss him when he's gone.

What does he do?

I don't think anyone in RAS had issue with his cap hit, just the stupid amount of term he was given.

He was surprisingly pretty good in the bottom 6 and he's very flexible as to where you can move him up and down the lineup. Its a pretty big hit depth wise for the Rangers, especially with Motte out.

ThinkTank posted:

$3.6mx6 is a terrible allocation of cap space in a league with a rapidly shrinking middle class. He is fine defensively but provides an offensive contribution slightly above replacement. There are about 40 guys on the free agent market every year who can provide pretty much the same contribution as Goodrow for like $1m, just without the playoff pedigree.

He's fine now, but I'm sure the Rangers will want that $2m of extra cap space back when they have to start handing out second deals to players like Lafreniere, Schneider and Miller.

By the time those contracts roll around Goodrow will be gone. He doesn't have a full NMC, and the last year of his contract after the signing bonus his actual money vs cap hit is halved. So he will be shipped to Ottawa or something. I'm still not wild about the term but it's fine.

Vatrano was definitely the guy who was supposed to be covering the point shooter on at least two of the penguins goals so not necessarily undeserved.

Sure agreed but it's wild how everyone's piling on Bread and Igor and Z just gets zero criticism for his disappearing act.

I legitimately have not seen a whole lot of intent to injure outside of the poo poo Carter pulled against Shesty in game 1. Like I get youre emotional right now and that sucks but the Rangers haven’t really played dirty at all. They aren’t even a dirty team.

Totally different sports and football has a postseason way more prone to flukes with its one-and-done playoffs. And again, I don't mean ovechkin himself I mean the inability to build a team around him that could succeed in the postseason.
