Post-Game Talk: Caps @ Sugar Canes 7:30

[tenken00]

Sammy made some really nice saves at the end. Not perfect but there were some flurries by Carolina there that he was scrambling around like his hair was on fire. Especially with the defense not helping him out much

 

[troyerlaw]

Punch in the back of the head seems more than worthy of a 2 min penalty.

Agreed! What about protecting players’ heads?

 

[Holtbyisms]

Am I the only one who wants to punch the canes PA guy in the face every time he announces a goal? What an annoying dude.

 

[TRASHCAT]

Isnt dougie the museum guy? Lol what a dumbass

 

[hb12xchamps]

Mrazek was pissed at Dougie. Strange to throw a punch there after a pretty textbook hit by Oshie

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Sammy was making some sweet saves down the stretch. Is it time for him to get more starts?

 

[troyerlaw]

The good: they won

The bad: # of penalties, their defensive zone is...not good

‘Not good’ is charitable. So freaking panicky and scrambly in final 10 min. No composure. Then again that BS call on Oshie contributed.

i would love to see Samsonov get the chance to take over for a bit. Worked in 2018 when Grubauer played important minutes, and then Holts returned rested and with something to prove

Yes, yes it is.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Nice bounce back game against a tough opponent on the road.

Sharks up next early on Sunday.

 

[Pomee]

Good: Sammy, Hagelin, Panik, Kuzy, Eller, Vrana

Not So Good: Ovi, Wilson, Backstrom, Sieg

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Satisfying 2 pts. Sammy laying seige to the #1.....

 

[TRASHCAT]

lol canes .438 against the metro. frauds

 

[tenken00]

Carolina definitely gets up to play us moreso than they do against other teams in the league. Good to get a win against them in their house.

 

[StrikingDistance]

More Sammy starts!

Also, what happened to @OvechkinTooth after we started winning? I hope you are ok. I'm genuinely concerned about your negativity.

ive been here 10+ years and i dont think ive ever seen him post anything positive

 

[troyerlaw]

Good: Sammy, Hagelin, Panik, Kuzy, Eller, Vrana

Hathaway, too, for sure. And i liked Oshie hustle and hitting. And the way he responded after getting hosed on the penalty call and being in box for 3rd CAR goal

 

[tenken00]

I think Locker also stated it near the end. Reirden shortened his defense at the end to just 4 guys. Probably dead legs contributed to all that turtling.

You are not.

Kinda makes you wonder if he's really a Caps fan or a part-time troll. Guessing he and @Hinterland are roomies?

Anyway, back to my hula practice.

 

[Sam Spade]

The future is now in net for real.

Hes been here so long and is the first to post the moment something goes slightly sideways. if hes trolling i admire the commitment

 

[RandyHolt]

I love a backup goalie on a winning streak. No, you don't need to have them play the next game.

Classic Oshie hits Duggie hard and secures the win taking a punch.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Sammy is pretty good, yeah.

From NHL. com:

The rookie is the second goaltender in NHL history to win each of his first eight starts on the road.

Not bad rookie
