Post-Game Talk: Capitals @ Flyers 12:30

[Neil Racki]

Carlson should have given Allison one more shot there

 

[895]

Orlov and Kuzy looked like ECHLers after COVID. Hopefully Eller is back to normal by playoffs.

When did we get confirmation Eller had covid?

 

[Roshi]

Come on. Its 2 goal lead and Ovie has 2 goals and needs one to tie Dionne.

you play him full 3 minutes as long as Flyers dont score!

 

[Neil Racki]

Sheary Baby!

Lol dang it I’m like a min behind on dvr ... forgot I paused it for a minute

 

[max21]

Marthaaaa

 

[kicksavedave]

Manthtastic!

 

[HTFN]

lol alright

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I don't think they're wrong. The team as a whole didn't show up and Ovy/Backy weren't good enough to win series by themselves.

But which one is it then? The Caps D wasn't solid enough to win or they underachieved?

 

[Neil Racki]

Marthaaaa

Does he score after sheary scored?

 

[Melkor]

The Antman with a pinpoint accuracy.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Haha Ovy wants one!

 

[Hivemind]

Flyers broadcast loves Ovie as much as the Washington broadcast

 

[EroCaps]

Lol Ovechkin is thirsty.

Mantha's possession game is such an improvement.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Mantha just adds a crazy dimension to this lineup.

 

[max21]

Easy win

 

[Neil Racki]

See ya fellas ... got the in law coming any minute now

 

[caps4cup]

That was just absolute domination. 33-11 shots at 5v5. Good to see.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Two regulation points. Ovy climbing the goals scored ladder and Mantha looks like he can get us much needed EN goals. Keep on going, but hunker down some more Caps.

 

[Roshi]

Yeah i like Mantha scored the EN, but that goal belongs to Ovie today. Again, great game and 2 goals and the all time run to go. Laviolette or whoever plays offence needs to be slapped.

Anyways, happy easy win. Never had a doubt. Hope we left something for tomorrow too.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

The goal goes the the person in position to make a game icing play. Doesn’t matter who it is, only that IT IS.

 

[Melkor]

Samsonov with another .880 SV% performance. The consistency!

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Samsonov with another .880 SV% performance. The consistency!

next man up!

 

[Firsov99]

next man up!

And there is only one next man after Sam

Sam has to work A LOT to improve his game. I highly doubt that he can miraculously elevate his game this season. Vanny is the only hope. And of course the D has to help.

 

[txpd]

4 pts for Carlson

 

[Fallschirmyager]

But which one is it then? The Caps D wasn't solid enough to win or they underachieved?

I don't think those are exclusive to each other. If you can't score you better play great D and if you're not going to play at least solid D you better score a lot. CAPS lacked consistency in both.
