Post-Game Talk: Brews vs Cups - 730p

[Corby78]

Yea.. to let the other team waltz in and fall back and turtle? Yea. That's all they did for about 10 mins of the 3rd.. and thats why they just grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory.

And the coaches told them to do that? What are you talking about?

 

[hb12xchamps]

f*** Kenny Albert. Dude definitely had money on the B’s tonight. He only mention Andersen saving 35 in a row about 10 times before the game tying goal and then again before the game winner. Wanted to jinx him so bad

 

[Capsman]

Eh wasn’t a great play by Dillon but shouldn’t have necessarily lead to the loss. Was poor coverage. They were playing way too deep and packed in, I mean I get it to some extent but that was excessive. The team was tired, no doubt.

Was that Carlson who missed the check leading to their 3rd goal? I thought that right there was the game. You can’t mistime a check that badly at that point in the game.

All in all the Eller injury had a ripple effect.

 

[g00n]

Ovie was phoning it in (injured?) and Carlson was butt

Anderson was fine

 

[mad4comp]

And the coaches told them to do that? What are you talking about?

lol... you think they just all of a sudden decided as a team to fall back and turtle on their own?

 

[txpd]

You guys have fun melting down. They lost in OT with their 2 and 3 centers missing and you think they are garbage? Ok

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I don't know how anyone can blame the officials. They sucked, but we lost that game. No one to blame but the man in the mirror.

The 2nd was a debacle and it severely slowed momentum. Ah well, time to move on. Hit everything with no mercy next game.

 

[Melkor]

Yup, choked because they tried to turtle after going up 3-2. All the f***ing turtle does is build momentum for the other team u til they eventually score.

I get the turtling but you have to execute it properly. The lack of judgment and execution from Carlson on that attempt to stop Hall is crazy. You can't pin it on exhaustion. You're either smart or not. The f*** was that? And then Dowd again their best center down the stretch. Like what? You have Bergeron and Krejci to stop. Get your shit together.

 

[Capitals40]

Phew, I had forgotten how hot the takes get in here after a PO loss. Think I'm going to go do something less painful than reading this, like cut my dick off or something.

take pics or it didnt happen

 

[Portable Mink]

what game were you watching the effort was great untill the middle of the third

odd man rushes
20 fans on pucks
no controlling momentum
no extended pressure
never looked in control
100s of missed passes

thats what I saw....

 

[Calicaps]

Who had Caps in 4?

 

[Melkor]

I'm okay with losing. Actually love the team effort overall. The big guys though...pathetic.

 

[kicksavedave]

[tenken00]

That dowd celebration needs to a new gif ASAP and j want it saved for every great dowd play for forever

someone please make that for me

Wish it led a better game outcome but Dowd is a beauty.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

So the next step is to figure out what we do down the middle. Are we going to play Kuzy or not? If not, are we playing McMichael?

Why not. Some folks think the Caps are doomed. Might as well see what heroics they can do. I'm a believer Caps are fine despite injuries.

 

[Bananas]

Probably should have won that one and didn’t. Need more than 2 centers next game. They looked gassed at the end.

Still like how we’re playing overall.

 

[Leksand]

They have no choice.

And let’s win the next game before worrying about Anderson’s workload.

 

[txpd]

What happened to Elller?

 

[DWGie26]

Love the way we came out of the gate. had to overcome Eller going out and some defensive gaffs for sure. I like the adversity because this team doesn’t seem to be scared of that. Going to go 6 or 7. pretty much everyone said that. Bring on Game 3!

 

[Corby78]

lol... you think they just all of a sudden decided as a team to fall back and turtle on their own?

I sure don’t think the coaches told them to play that way. Playing passive and scared isn’t a strategy, it’s a mental thing. Lavi will not be patting them on the back for doing what he said, I can promise you that

 

[amin723]

The Eller injury changed the game. And if it’s bad likely the series.

 

[mad4comp]

[txpd]

I don’t think they can win the series with Anderson. I didn’t say he was the issue tonight but I don’t think his play is sustainable with that work load every other night.

Why would his work load be 48 shots every night? it was 23 the previous game. I dont think you will see that load repeated again.

 

[RandyHolt]

Calling Willy for embellishment showed their hands, they wanted more 4 on 4.

I was hoping Hataway in OT

 

[Capsman]

Fatigue and momentum often dictates that.
