Post-Game Talk: Caps @ Flames, 9:00 PM ET, Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgaryt

[troyerlaw]

Good stop, grubs

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Oshie is having a bad game, he's fumbling every pass coming his way.

 

[RaindanceMaggie]

Boring game thus far, Smith has been good tonight.

 

[troyerlaw]

Johnny hockey’s line having its way with backy line right now. Oshie needed to get that deep

 

[troyerlaw]

Flames putting on puck possession clinic right now

 

[Raikkonen]

We need Capsman with some doom statement in the 2nd intermission.

 

[Devil Dancer]

These D zone turnovers are killer.

 

[troyerlaw]

At least Shanky P didnt score on his breakaway. That would have been tough to take.

Grubs having good game.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Ness is bad luck. He plays and Caps lose. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!

 

[Corby78]

got in the car after my beer league game, and the first name I hear on the radio is Ness.........night ruined immediately..

 

[troyerlaw]

Nice dish from djoos to Stephenson. That was a good chance

 

[troyerlaw]

Compared to where we were a few days ago ... i’ll take it. Playing a decent road game. And grubs is solid.

How’d the BL game go

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Too cute trying to leave our zone all game. We need to simplify and clear it high off the glass.

 

[Corby78]

How’d the BL game go

we lost 8-3, but its a hour on the ice, I will never complain about that.

I was thinking the same thing. Very unusual for him

 

[AtNightWeFly]

He's next in line to get sick.

 

[Capsman]

History may show Tom Wilson to be one of the worst things that could have happened to the Caps in the OV-Backstrom era. Started with being drafted too early and better players drafted behind him. Then the Caps essentially choosing him over Forsberg. Then exposing Schmidt over him.

The kid has no hands whatsoever. He is what we thought he was (but convinced ourselves big guys like him need more time).

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Sportsnet is praising Brouwer during the intermission show. Of all people, they praised Shankapotomus

Those are management decisions. We drafted Forsberg and gave him away, but it has nothing to do with choosing Wilson over him. False dichotomy.

As much as I like Wilson, he will probably never get out from that shadow. Its not really fair to him, its not his fault, but we really did botch his assessment.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Ovie goal would be nice; its been too long. But that would ruin Smith's shutout so no.

 

[troyerlaw]

we lost 8-3, but its a hour on the ice, I will never complain about that.

My squad lost 11-1 last nite. We’ve had a couple of those lately. Might be time to slide down a division.

 

[Bladerunner]

Hope this doesn't end up being a tough loss for Grubauer.

 

[troyerlaw]

Too bad peluso fumbled that one. Was developing into 2-on-1
