Lol with this PK pretty much everyone can handle Caps. But, there is a small chance Caps know that they have problems with this.

I’m sure they know there’s a problem. I’m not yet sure they know what to do about it.

 

[Silky mitts]

Caps have given up 9 ppg in 24 chances, before that they gave up 1 in 25 chances

Unless he coming in to play goal I'm not super worried.

FYI, the Flyers super goalie prospect, Hart, is struggling as much as Samsanov. Goalies take time.

Anyone got any insights into how "top goalie prospects" usually pan out?

My mind is going to Markstrom who was touted as the next big thing but never really made it...

(Note: I know any prospect can go any or a hundred different ways, just wondering what everyone's confidence levels are at this stage)

I have no idea, but this post from the prospect thread is pretty telling:

Prospect Info: - Capitals Prospects and Minor League Affiliates (Hershey Bears, SC Stingrays) - 2018-TBD

I also found this website were you can go back and look at where goalies were drafted so that might help. Quick glance shows no goalie (Demko played one, Adin Hill nine games) from the 2014 or 2015 draft has played any significant time yet.

Does Hakstol really have a beet farm or is it just a long running joke from the Flyers fans?

Anyways, that is a very underrated vegetable. Seems its mostly Slavic peoples that truly appreciate the beet. Perhaps Jews too.

Winnipeg have a great team but they are a paper tiger. They showed a statistics about how they keep feasting on bottom teams and have huge problems against the better teams. I think they had 3-5-2 record against Playoff teams before beating Tampa.

[Calicaps]

Gritty is so epic.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Kinda funny...

 

[BallardEra]

Yet another game where the Pens are getting outshot and not looking good at all.

Wasnt one of those wins against us?

Don’t worry. Caps will fall out of the playoffs because of all their poor performers.... and the Peg’s earlier win will fit into the narrative.

So all will be well in your world

Well when you declare yourself the smartest person on this board it shouldnt be unexpected

Also peg concussed two of our players without a single call so that game might not be indicitive

What does the concussed players have to do with anything?

Would you rather I lie?

 

[TRASHCAT]

No i would prefer you not playing the eternal victim when you asked for it

 

[BallardEra]

Pens could be sitting outside of a playoff spot if the Isles win tonight.

Dudes/dudettes:

Can we get a truce here between everyone? Half of the recent posts are bickering about each other and it's becoming unbearable to read and I can't be the only one. Please & thank you.

Your narrative that the Caps stink? Well more than half your player assessment posts are negative. I’m just calling what I see?

Is that upsetting to you? Oh ....

You must have short memory. This board is a regular daily kumbaya as compared to years passed.

And it’s really just a handful of posters that like to be contrarians. Find them and have fun with them.

That is all

No, I remember. I lurky longtime. However, a majority of the posts lately have been in the vein of keyboard tug-o-war than discussion about stats I don't care to understand. haha

Well sometimes a poster comes in and instead of arguing in good faith of what they believe, simply argues to inflate their low self esteem and prove to themselves their intelligence. I'm sorry if this causes a disruption in your lurking but people are going to respond negatively to such a poster.

I already had a long list of people on ignore years ago but you wind up seeing posts by the same 5 people. I'm not seeking a group hug, because I know there's too many stupid, inane, dbags in the world. I'd rather check this place and see more posts about hockey rather than seeing the constant inability to communicate as a civil human. But whatever, carry-on internetting warriors.
