Post-Game Talk: Capitals Vs Canucks- 3/14/14 7:00 PM Caps Win 4-3

[Liberati0n*]

All he said in his interview is that he basically gives all credit to his linemates. Wouldn't accept any praise. Nothing like Brouwer/Laich.

Sounds just like what Laich does to me.


Backstrom and Ovechkin badly need to be and stay separated at ES, mostly for Backstrom's sake.

 

[Laista]

Why does it have to be either/or Backstrom and Kuznetsov on the PP...?

exactly! and who is to say backs point/game will drop?
i heard numerous star players admit better performence overall after cutting 2 minutes of icetimes.
its about quality over quantity

just a quick read. kuznetsov has 3 assists and I am reading to take pp time from backstrom? that's hilarious!!!!! the caps win. only because the other teams is struggling.

its typical but still funny.

btw....kuznetsov and Wilson are two thirds of a pretty good 2nd line.

+1

To be honest I'm not totally sold on Wilson being a top 6 player just yet. Not to say he won't get there in time since he's still a kid but he hasn't really been given a chance to showcase what he can do offensively yet to show he can perform in that role.

Who is Denis Sedin?

But yes, at best, this team goes 7-7 the rest of the way and probably closer to your prediction.

Daniel's alias.

"Shiny new toy"

As far as the last sentence....let's give em a bit of time, but the potential is exciting.

No, you're not reading that. You're reading to take PP time away from Laich/Mojo.

Great to see Kuz breeding life back into our team.

I will say it again, great players have nothing to learn. Rink size, linemates, nothing. More likely, the players on the ice have to learn to play with a world class talent, learn to play with a guy that snaps passes when we normally dump it, aka turn it over deliberately. You could see it in his first period of his first game, crushing passes no one is ready for.

Wow, I better get ready. And its contagious. Everyone picks their heads up and is looking to make a skilled play. Every player wants to score a goal, it is their cash cow. Suddenly, there is hope. Players now care. Watch out.

I wish Oates would dump his system and unleash the horses and save the season. The less Kuz knows about the Oates system, the better.

Sorry Coach, noah speakah engwish. Translated: Step back, coach. Oates has exactly no experience adding world class rookies to a sinking team. None.

I hope he's not "breeding" anyone, but if you mean BREATHING......




I've been hoping this kid arrived and he would invigorate and motivate some of the players IMO who've gotten a little content in DC.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

No. He may actually be able to back them up.

Ah, so if a player doesn't always back up statements, he shouldn't say them?

So Laich/Brouwer should say nothing about working harder/playing smarter/executing if they ever fail to do so?

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Who is Denis Sedin?

Jeff Beagle's linemate.

 

[Calicaps]

Jeff Beagle's linemate.

Breeding

I meant to say clone

I don't think I meant that as in right now.

 

[txpd]

No, you're not reading that. You're reading to take PP time away from Laich/Mojo.

actually, I read that exact thing. but you are right that the 3rd forward spot could be split nicely between kuznetsov and Johansson...as long and Grabovski isn't playing

not a chance I take backstrom off the ice though
