Post-Game Talk: Caps eke out 4-3 win over Habs

[Lafleurs Guy]

It makes the Dach injury that much more painful. Because I could just imagine where the Habs would be if he was there and Habs would count on a second line.

And as a result, Evans would be in a better spot as a 3C rather than the 2C.

But as we have become accustomed to, we can't have nice things.

Silver lining: High pick.

And Dach will hopefully come back strong next year.

 

[HabbyGuy]

He walked right into that one.

 

[Habs10Habs]

He walked right into that one.

More like hopped, skipped and jumped right into that lol

 

[Rapala]

I spent a lot of time watching him tonight. He just looks lost out there. It's almost like he's forgotten the hockey basics. Gally had a couple of positive moments. Nothing great, but a solid effort.

At the very least Anderson should be drawing some penalties driving the net.
If he's hurt he should sit. If he's not interested he can sit.
Try to tell us he's working hard now Marty.

Agreed, drawing penalties, being physical. He's the biggest, fastest player on our team. Yet he's not using any of that. I've seen frustration on his face, so it wouldn't surprise me if he's playing hurt.

 

[Ozmodiar]

I had almost written off Mysak. So it's good to hear that he's stepping up his game.

He’s doing well.
The Shadrach-Mysak-Abednego line is on fire!

 

[River Meadow]

Silver lining: High pick.

Agreed.

It's for the best this year we chill, let the kids gain experience, get a high pick, and then really focus on making a push to squeak into the playoffs starting next year.

Imagine we win the lottery and draft first

 

[Canadienna]

I missed this. LOL!

 

[The Real Timo]

Imagine we win the lottery and draft first

… and it’s another defenseman

lol. Sens lost to blackhawks.

 

[MasterD]

I like Armia. A lot more say than Gallagher or Anderson.

Armia lacks intensity, but has a lot more pure skills that those 2.

And his intensity has been fine since his stint il Laval.

Habs need 8 more Yoels.

 

[FloJack]

Josh Anderson is lost again. He doesn't have any chemistry with anyone. He needs to start hitting again.

I wonder if his shoulder is just plum f***ed? It’s the only way I can make any sense of his play.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Habs need 8 more Yoels.

Only if they have bigger “Boels”

 

[Habs13]

Yeah, we would possibly be a wild card team with a healthy Dach. But... now we are in a position to add another good forward project to build with, and as all our core guys are young - we are in a great spot to keep constructing something special. We have to wait a few shit contracts anyway before we fully see the finished product, but we are seeing great signs already! Probably ahead of schedule too.

Let's go!

 

[Beer and Chips]

Good try but even old and slow can beat inexperience. No second line is tough, hopefully next season Dach lasts most of the season, it will make a big difference. Nice for Newhook but he is certainly third line.

 

[CauZuki]

I think we went to the "Slaf well" a bit too much became fairly predictable. Caufield needs to be leveraged more and needs to be more enaged. Otherwise great game for the tank.

 

[Tyson]

Very happy to see Joel Armia showing that he cares unlike several other vets. I like this version of Joel Armia.

 

[Gravity]

We are one superstar F away from taking the next step towards young contenders imo.

Armia is not an energy player and he never will be, but he can get away with it more than gally or Anderson.

and 2 defenseman lol

They're in the pipeline. I mean the pieces would all be there after that superstar F and it would just be a matter of maturing and experience.

 

[26Mats]

Expected with Allen in net, the guy just can’t win

I'm not seeing a trade. If he can't get traded by the end of next offseason, he should backup Dobes in Laval.

Caufield has been positiinning himself way too close to the boards and not in a shooting position. He needs to watch where Ovi shoots from. Inner top of the cicle.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Too bad Caufield wasn't able to pursuie his points streak, but I'm happy that Suzuki and Slaf were able to get on the board

The Sherrif has a howitzer.
