Post-Game Talk: Caps @ Nets, 7pm

[Blitzkrieg365]

Wilson always making the smart plays.

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

Is this system nonsense gonna be the playoff theme?

 

[Dream Big]

Nice stop by Holtby and a post. Yeah. Nice win. 4-2. Good work boys.

 

[Hivemind]

What a system penalty by Wilson. SMH

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

The truck with seats on the glass is not pleased.

Nice win. Holtby with some nice saves as well.

 

[Holtbyisms]

What a system win! Way to go system! Keep up your systematic ways!

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Good system win. I hope we get a system Stanley Cup this year.

 

[hockeyfan88]

Good win. Needed those 2 pts badly to keep ourselves in the race.

Hopefully. It would trigger some major cognitive dissonance if he gets outplayed in the 1st or 2nd round for the 5th year in a row.

Caps don't beat the Mighty Isles with the lowly Philip Grubauer though. No way.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Ok. Well I don't think the caps fall off much with grubby as G1. And if we could get a top tier player for him I would still do it.

But I get it, every one loves Holtby

But things may change a lot next year when the defense isn't as strong

 

[txpd]

Interesting minutes breakdown. Ov is 5th among forwards. Vrana Eller Connolly are the 4th line. Played under 10 minutes. Beagle Winnik Wilson playing 15-16 minutes

 

[bur and 666 others]

what's up with this system thing?

saw just the 3rd and the period was awesome, intense. almost like playoffs. good thing that the division is strong, it will make us better

 

[Holtbyisms]

I agree. The system really stood out tonight. I'd probably have the 3 stars of the night like this.

People love Holtby so the idea that he isn't irreplaceable and having Grubauer take over after this season while using return/Cap savings to improve the team elsewhere (as Alzner/Kuznetsov/Oshie will all need raises) is seen as a personal insult and needs to be savaged accordingly.

The boys are feeling it. If Ovie gets hot, look out.

Have we seen Grubauer v playoff teams?

We enjoy having a $6M Vezina-quality goaltender who has literally the best stats of all time in the playoffs over a talented but unproven backup. See the team that we faced tonight? They and at least half the NHL would kill to have a goalie like Holtby.

This happens with the caps every December. The league is about to hit the 30 game fatigue bump which Ovechkin doesn't hit and he's gonna go on a GPG tear.

Exactly, and we need to use that against them. Have a team like the Islanders with a crappy system overpay for him and end up totally screwed.

The team we faced tonight would kill to have a lot of things, such as Not Andrew Ladd making 5.5 million until eternity. Holy **** did Snow ruin them

 

[txpd]

New official music

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

He won a playoff game when called on. Tho he did have a bad 1st period but very hard starting on the road with no notice

He was at home

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

He was at home

Right. It was game 2. Still hard to being down 0-1 in the playoffs
