Post-Game Talk: Caps Canucks (caps fans finally get wish lol)

[txpd]

I dont think so. Grubauer beat a very bad team. The Canucks might be the worst team in the league right now. They didnt really test him with very many quality chances.

No really the point. Trotz is giving Grubauer two games this week. His recent numbers have been strong. Holtby is in a run of 3 or more games.

 

[Sam Spade]

Didn't realize Boeser was 1 pick after Samsonov. That's... a rough one.

Caps are set in net for the next 15 seasons plus, they made the right call.

p.s. TWO POINTS!!!

 

[txpd]

meanwhile, anyone notice Doc Walker sitting behind the net tonight?

 

[traparatus]

you made it sound like you were going to post there

Never in my life, man. Those poor people have been through enough.

 

[kmart]

i need to see it again but i think the hit on orpik was ok (legal)

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

That’s an automatic game for me until I see an angle showing no head contact.

You kidding me? Listening to other teams' fans b***** and moan after an ugly loss is the most fun you can have on HF.

It can be quite amusing.
You realize how similar many fan bases are, especially after a loss. They have the worst, or close to it, HC, GM, <name the position>, etc. in the entire league Lot's of sarcasm, some of it good quality.

Safe to assume Grubauer takes one Carolina game?

but which one he takes is a mystery (home is first)

but maybe they give holtby both since bye week is right after

Samsonov has a ton of upside, we really don't know his value right now. I don't subscribe to the camp of "first guy to produce is the better guy".

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

The Orpik-Hutton hit looked clean to me. Big tree fall hard.


Shoulder to shoulder, on the puck, that's a hockey play. I think even by Orpiks reaction he seemed to feel like it was clean. I like DSP mixing it up but truthfully if the roles were reversed I'd be spouting off about how it's not fair that you have to fight after great clean hits.

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

Yes. That was the purpose of him playing tonight.

 

[Carlzner]

Sure. But it'd be pretty nice to have Boeser right now.

 

[Roshi]

Love what DSP did there. You get instant assault when you take cheap shots at our superstars!

 

[Holtbyisms]

Great game all around. Grubi made a lot of save but didn't have to make a ton of crazy saves. Both top lines played well and DSP...f*** yeah man. Get you some.

That said the Nucks are a massive joke right now, shoulda performed like we did and we did. Good to see we didn't play down to the level.

GO CAPS

I see no chance they sit DSP after what he did for Orpik tonight. The team loves that kind of stuff.

Might have been legal. This however speaks to the often debated subject of what Orpik brings to the team beyond his play on the ice. This is the second time in recent memory that a successful hit on Orpik drew an immediate response like that.

 

[txpd]

Like I said. I think if Holtby gives up 3 or more again tomorrow, we are going to see a lot of more of Grubauer. He will certainly get a real game against a good team in the next week in a non-backup goalie game

Careful Tex. You’re close to getting a slew of “likes” from Mr Gone.

yep, probably Chiasson sits another game.

One game will not create any controversy, esp. when the team has been winning regularly.

I was ok with how it all went down. Hit was hard but clean, good hockey play. DSP was coming in from and I'm sure it looked dirty to him. (it did to me at first) So he jumped in. We got the extra 2 and killed it off. Hockey players playing hockey. Last thing I want are guys going back to the bench and reviewing hits to see if it deemed being dealt with.
