ECQF: (1) Washington Capitals vs. (WC1) Columbus Blue Jackets | Caps Lead Series 3-2

[Alexander the Gr8]

Did he mention injury prone?

He is actually a similar player to Vrana except Vrana is faster and has a much quicker release.

And Vrana has a better hockey IQ.

 

[HunterSThompson]

And Vrana has a better hockey IQ.

Burakovsky is pretty dumb.

 

[MattySnipes]

Yeah this has been a road warrior series so far, but i see you guys just exploding tonight at home. enough is enough.

 

[HunterSThompson]

Tomorrow afternoon.

 

[MattySnipes]

Tomorrow afternoon.

Oops..my bad! Yes tomorrow afternoon. Man, afternoon playoff games on a Saturday are brutal. How do you get up for them?

You just get up, because it's the playoffs. Nothing beats playoff hockey

Start drinking four or so hours earlier.

haha, no i was referring more to the players. But yeah, it's the playoffs. You get up for it no matter what time it is.

 

[pezpunk]

Yea Vrana looks dangerous every time I see him on the ice. Don't understand why he doesn't get more icetime

neither does anyone other than barry f***ing trotz.

 

[CBJFan19*]

It's because Holtby was well-positioned. The only thing about the net they could shoot were the crossbar and post.

Which isnt close to the truth

 

[Sam Spade]

Burakovsky is a big loss for the Caps. Who's taking his spot?

Yeah, that's not true at all. Caps fans haven't even noticed he was gone, at least this one hasn't.

 

[Sam Spade]

So was Hunter.

 

[third man in]

Yeah, that's not true at all. Caps fans haven't even noticed he was gone, at least this one hasn't.

When he's on top of his game he's missed. Not so much when he's slumping. At least it got Vrana in the lineup. I must be one of the few Caps fans that likes Burakovsky.

 

[Lawd Stanley]

I still think this being the only series tied at 2-2 will be good for the winning team. The other series have either been sweeps or turned into 3-1 leads after being up 2-0. This is the closest series so far and with that double OT it’s been a war of attrition. In the playoffs lucky bounces win games and I think will continue to play a part in this series. There’s a lot of hockey god meddling in the playoffs .

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

You're saying there were no shots that hit the crossbar or post? Watch the games again.

 

[shtorm2005]

Looks like home advantage is not an advantage at all. Next game is at home, so Im worrying a little.

Washington will turn this series around. Let's hope they win the game at home. Your prayers are needed.

I said after the game 2 loss they would win the next 3 only to lose in 7. That's what they do. Today will probably be a dominating win to fully prepare caps fans for the soul crushing approaching. Go caps!

First Bloody Mary prepared. 9 a.m. tee time. Going to be a good day

 

[Ruudukkopupuset]

Nutivaara pinched a thousand men into a bundle. They were wrapped inside the flag of Washington D.C. Powerful deeds he did but the nights he dedicated to women. Rough, lovely nights.

Caps have more talent, but there is something fundamentally wrong with the culture in that dressing room. Is it because of too many years of coddling Ovechkin? Is it something else entirely? I don't know. But this club has arguably possessed more talent than Crosby's Penguins over the past decade, and has nothing to show for it. For some reason, Crosby makes those around him better than they would be otherwise, while Ovechkin does not.

I think Pens' talents are better overall.
Ovy makes Carlson better.

Ovechkin makes his teammates have assists.

 

[shtorm2005]

Ovechkin makes his teammates have assists.

can't disagree with you
