Kinda hilarious how the Rangers major market brought more attention to the Caps than an actual Stanley Cup. Like seriously, it's funny shit.
I really doubt that there was ever gonna be a WWE brawl on opening night, but the guys we brought in are gonna lay some big hits and i'm sure the usual squad over in Washington will respond. In that way, i'm sure there might be some fights but Wilson and Reaves having a shonen anime battle at center ice was just fantasy.
I'll say it again for the people in the back, but the Rangers young rookies and the vet all stars have been getting pushed around since the rebuild started. Last season punctuated that having to play B's, Caps and Isles as much as we did. The Wilson incident was just the dot of the exclamation point, but if we wanna give him all the credit for making our bottom 6 WAY BETTER, than thats fine too.
We're gonna see the Devils do the same thing. Jack Hughes got manhandled and injured by Ross Johnson and they immediately claimed Geertson.
