Post-Game Talk: Bruins @ Caps, 7:30PM

[maacoshark]

I think what bothers me about this is that it's such a main boards argument. That kind of thing might happen over there frequently, where failure to read stats correctly or interpret their worth might cause people who aren't fans of certain teams to develop opinions of certain players that may or may not be true.

We're all Caps fans in a Caps GDT, though. I'd assume 80-90% of the posters in these threads are watching the game, and it's more than a little bit dismissive to keep telling everyone that "stats don't tell the whole story" when for the most part they're the only thing we're missing from "the whole story", as it were.

"Stats aren't everything" shouldn't be the "it's a free country" of a hockey discussion, even if it is technically true.

I notice that guys like to use stats in their debate. I think some guys take the stats too serious.

Shoot the puck, get in front of the net, and win puck battles. 3 things that didn't happen last night.

 

[StrikingDistance]

Also, I want goals. I don't care by whom, don't care if it bounces off someone's face or butt, don't care if Bruins knock one in on themselves.

Zeros are only for Mr. Blutarsky.

I agree. We also need our pp to step up.

If they cant even beat the Bruins tonight, January might be a mighty rough month.

 

[Corby78]

I honestly don’t care as much about the win, I just want us to score goals. At least one a period

 

[Bladerunner]

Probably true.
However, they've got to play considerably better then the last three "efforts". Plus at some point the Bs will break their losing streak vs Caps. Hopefully not tonite.

nbcsn announcer: the teams are rested. uh they are??

What do you mean if they cant even beat the Bruins. The Bruins might be the hottest team in the league right now.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

"Tommy Wilson."

I loathe Pierre.

****

 

[Corby78]

Oh boy here we go

 

[maacoshark]

Oh boy. Here we go again.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Game Over since Caps don't even shoot the puck anymore.

 

[Hivemind]

Boston scored on Holtby? This can't be right.

 

[GoCaps2004]

they need to work on breakouts.

lol #2

 

[Hivemind]

Also, why are my choice of broadcasts the NBCSN C team or Jack Edwards? This is f***ing awful.

 

[HeyMattyB]

Jesus Christ, this team is on a real shit streak.

 

[ovikovy817]

Wilson please tackle someone

 

[Capsman]

This team is so discombobulated. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for Trotz.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Brutally bad defensively first by 92 now 22.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

The boys always come to play in the 1st.

 

[maacoshark]

Did anyone else notice Connolly and Burakovsky both watching the 2nd goal

 

[Corby78]

Still on Christmas break I see. Let the slide continue..... good grief

4 and a half more months to go.
