Post-Game Talk: Caps vs Sens Oct 25

[um]

Lavi didn't put him out there. He was only it there because if the icing.
Trust me if Lavi could have had someone else out there he would.
I'm surprised that people think Lavi put McMichael out there.

He did put him in. Then they iced it twice.

If Dowd is able to go on Wednesday, gotta think they leave second line in tact with CMM at Center and put Eller on third with Sprong and Sheary. Would like to see that.

Or no Sheary at all.

This is all Smokin Al's fault

 

[HTFN]

He couldn't get benched. He just happened to be on the ice when the Caps iced the puck with just over 3 minutes left in the game. Then the Caps iced the puck 2 more times after that. He was only out there because there was no choice.

“Just so happened to be on the ice” like… while the coach wasn’t looking? Stop being willfully ignorant

Please introduce me to the dotard that doesn’t like goals!

7-5 win and every caps forward is +1, except for Jimi and the guy who scored a hat trick (both 0). Weird game.

Can we please talk about how TVR is very good and somehow did not get a sweater last year because I guess there were just too many darn good defensemen on the roster!

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Let’s stop living in the past. I’m just happy he’s playing well now.

as decimated as we were last playoffs, TVR wasn’t moving the bar.

Well, GMBM did resign him on a bargain 950k x 2. He will play plenty these next two years. If only we could trade Shultz.

I don’t know. Seemed like a strange commitment to high priced righty’s last year. Schultz should have been benched. Carlson was banged up and playing terrible. TVR didn’t really get a chance to have an impact.

who's behind Schultz? We don't really have a deep defense.

 

[tenken00]

If, and that's a big if, Cholo is good and also ready, then maybe

Fever-Carlson
Orlov-Jensen
Cholo-TvR

But that may be more for next year anyways. There is also Kempny (this year) and AA (next year maybe)

 

[zappa4ever]

Lavi doesn't hesitate shortening the bench does he
under 8 for Sprong and Lap (3 shifts each in 2nd, 2 in 3rd)

Caps just can't handle a strong relentless forecheck, CGY did well with it Sat. and OTT nearly made it happen too

Take the 2, enjoy the scoring stats, play some real D/team D on Wed

And Oshie = Legend (not even referring to his hat trick, he's one of the best things about hockey)

 

[um]

Orlov-Jensen

Schultz may be overpaid but he's better than all the other options.

Now maybe Cholo is the guy, but the elite teams of Detroit and Seattle didn't seem to think so.

 

[Raikkonen]

What kind of monster TVR is?!

 

[tycoonheart]

Very weird game. Honestly I don't know if defense was bad. They did have a hard time with the Sens forecheck, but that wasn't the reason they gave up so many goals. Sammy was struggling all night, he just didn't look right. He was flailing around the net, didn't seem composed at all. Also some luck involved, the goal that went off of Orlov's stick. Strange game.

 

[ovikovy817]

What a game.

So he is a defensively better version of karlsson. I’m ok with that….
