Post-Game Talk: Canes at Caps-7pm Eastern

[hockeykicker]

Do you know why he was a late scratch? Maybe the Caps made a deal

Not sure, got notification on phone. Will check Twitter now

Per caps: burakovsky is sick

But Tarik and Isabelle noted he was fine and a full participant this morning at practice

I was expecting a 4-2 victory, but now that Chiasson is in for Connolly I'm expecting a 3-1 loss.

Not sure why you would think that. Chiasson is a better all round player than Connolly. Connolly is weak defensively.

Holtby is due for a shut out. 3-0 Caps.

Maybe the food wasn't good after practice

Someone poisoned him? I know he really sucks right now but that's taking it waaaay too far.

they have mark andre fluery

Should have put Gruby in the net

Why?

 

[maacoshark]

There are rumors Vegas has a couple guys on the block. I have heard they might have Neal on the block. If I was Vegas I dont think I would mess with things. They have a solid team and look good for the future.

 

[hockeykicker]

Why?

he thinks vegas is looking for a goalie

 

[hockeykicker]

so now no niskanen??

 

[g00n]

If they haven't already noticed, the names "Capitals" and "Hurricanes" are taken.

 

[ovikovy817]

they have mark andre fluery

33 years old
Not good the last couple of years (
4 games against Caps last year and 12 games this year
Not enough To change my mind)
Injury prone

 

[traparatus]

he thinks vegas is looking for a goalie

I see. They are not.

You know who really interests me in Vegas? Brendan Leipsic. This guys is stuck on one goal but he is making plays and creating scoring chances like a first liner. Such an exciting player to watch, too. I would love to see him in Caps' uniform.

 

[ovikovy817]

Nisky is playing

 

[twabby]

Sloppy start. Second line can’t clear it now DSP iced it for no reason.

 

[ovikovy817]

Ovi hahaha

 

[twabby]

Ovie just having fun out there.

 

[twabby]

Bad first two shifts but after that it’s been a good start. Time for a PP because Vrana is fast.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I think that's a good start to the game, we're getting looks and they're not.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Another one of those super tall goalies with long legs. Go high!

 

[ovikovy817]

No look pass by Beagle was good
