Post-Game Talk: Capitals @ Flyers, 7:00

[troyerlaw]

Bura hustling anyway. Looks like a guy who realizes there may be an expiration date on his top-6 status.

And ... Flyers demolishing us now.

 

[Calicaps]

Wow. We're really screwed without Niskanen.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Weal and Couturier are on my fantasy team. I have no complaints tonight.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

What a stinker...

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Its been YEARS and YEARS since the Flyers had their way with the Caps like this.

 

[Langway]

Example 34873845 that Ness isn't an NHL defenseman.

Inb4 MacLellan overpays for a mediocre D.

 

[bur and 666 others]

Second line is ineffective, because Kuznetsov is neutralized and now they are scored... again

 

[Acallabeth]

What was that flight from Ness?

 

[troyerlaw]

Does holts come in if we give up another?

better than overpaying for a bad one! Prices should be right...

 

[Corby78]

please get rid of Ness. If we are going to struggle with Niski out, please do it with kids who can develop and get better. Ness is a lost cause.

 

[Acallabeth]

Are all Vegas 20 defensemen really worse than Ness?

 

[Corby78]

I don't know that any of them are worse than Ness...

 

[Capitals40]

Wow. We're really screwed without Niskanen.

So much depth on D last couple of years..now an American league D. Lots of teams will enjoy beating the crap out of us this season

 

[troyerlaw]

It’s a tough spot. Our best D broke his wrist last night (or some such injury), and it’s back end of B2B. I just hope we avoid epic blowout

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Somehow I'm hoping Papa Bowey is stuck in customs.
Kuzy matches up horribly with Jake. He stalks him to death.

 

[Coldplay619]

Lost Schmidt and Alzner.

Didn't replace one of them now we have Bowey, Djoos and Ness playing in the lineup.

I'm ok with Bowey and Djoos. They are kids and will grow. But Ness... Oy. And 74 isn't handling the extra workload well at all.

 

[Capsman]

On an individual level the defense has been so bad tonight. Guys are skating back at the blue line way too much. Not nearly physical enough. Orlov took a terrible angle at Simmons, not sure what he was doing. Ness? Enough said, I really can’t find any redeeming value in the guy.

Connolly with Backstrom and Oshie now.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Lets be real here; Nisky will be gone a lot longer than 10 games.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Why is Chiasson with Kuznetsov and Ovechkin?

 

[Langway]

Yes. Please do f*** up the lines.

 

[Coldplay619]

Why is Chiasson with Kuznetsov and Ovechkin?

Barry is high.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Why is Chiasson with Kuznetsov and Ovechkin?

Should be Willy instead me thinks.
