[hockeykicker]

So who is out?

chiasson

 

[SpinningEdge]

chiasson out

Great decision.

I’m glad Trotz picked the obvious guy out and not Bura or Vrana.

Is he learning?!??

 

[Blades of Steel]

Those are pretty decent lines

 

[Portable Mink]

Ovechkin hatter.

Its time.

 

[HTFN]

So what kind of matchups should we be expecting? If Backstrom can put up a good checking game, can he take the Stamkos line right away? Then maybe Kuznetsov on Point, and free Eller up to eat Cirelli alive?

probably not right away like shift 1, but within the first few/by p2

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

Backstrom stepping on the ice with TBL like

 

[SpinningEdge]

Tampa either earns back home ice and goes home with a ton of momentum... or Caps take a commanding lead.

Needless to say, huuuuuuge game.

Would love to see what players step up tonight. What players in these moments sacrifices for a block, gets a gritty and grind it out goal, or hits shots in perfect spots and doesn’t miss the net or hits post.

Let’s see who is big time here. Let’s go!

 

[Portable Mink]

pretty quiet round here....

 

[HTFN]

so why was Chiasson looking dressed just now?

 

[Langway]

Win.

In case for some reason backstrom didnt feel right in warmups

 

[HTFN]

In case for some reason backstrom didnt feel right in warmups

figured as much, started realizing I didn't even necessarily know if that footage was live anyway. Mostly just curious as to why he was, like, all the way ready a few minutes before game time, but yeah.

 

[Lindemann]

Win

 

[Melkor]

Bad symptoms were on display in g3. Hopefully that wont be the case tonight.

 

[marcel snapshot]

f***ing psyched for this one. If they’re as amped as I am, we’ll be good. Best opportunity for this franchise in at least 20 years

 

[HTFN]

Bad symptoms were on display in g3. Hopefully that wont be the case tonight.

caps seemed so eager to show everyone they were different that they, well, played different.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

They got the massive letdown out of their system on Tuesday.

 

[Hivemind]

Just. f***ing. Win.

 

[rinkleroot]

Go Caps!

 

[Raikkonen]

2 points plz. A little nervous honestly. But that's ok, that's the thrill.

After super interesting Russia-Canada I guess we will see something fun tonight

 

[Capsman]

Let’s go Caps. Ugh, my stomach hurts.

 

[marcel snapshot]

So Nicky wins his first 2 draws clean

 

[Calicaps]

Today has sucked a lot. Please win.

 

[Portable Mink]

that wasnt icing.

 

[Langway]

The top four D need to play much more urgent than in Game 3. Not thrilled with their start.
