Post-Game Talk: Game 44: Anaheim Ducks @ Washington Capitals, 4pm PT, BSSC (Gotta score at least one goal to win)

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

There is no reason to put out the second PP unit at this stage of the season. I get that they sometimes out perform the first unit but the teams playoff hopes are dashed. Get the kids in there and see what they can go.

Leo should honestly be out there the full 2 mins, hes by far the best player on the ice tonight and most nights.

Wtf happened to Gudas?

He blocked a shot low late in the game last night and looked pretty uncomfortable.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

They are like 2 points out of a playoff spot arnt they? We should figure out how to get that first

And after acquiring their first, they implode and miss the playoffs
Rakell coming alive and putting the Caps playoff hopes away would be perfect timing as I think they still have games against each other.

I imagined the top line looked dangerous on the road trip at some point, and brown is sending a message…. No goal scoring on the powerplay on this team

I just can’t stand on Fowler anymore.

He is playing a very safe(intimidated/pessimistic) style and yet he is constantly making mistakes and giving up pucks & possessions.

It is pain to say this since I’ve cheering for him since that magical rookies season.

 

[Arthuros]

So how's it going?

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

So how's it going?

It’s not.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Carlsson is probably thinking To himself he played with better players in Sweden

 

[Arthuros]

It’s not.

Is it the "make the opposing goalie a Vezina winner" kinda night or "the team got left in Florida" kinda night?

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Probably the latter. But there’s no shot volume because this team cannot pass

 

[KelVarnsen]

They pass to the wrong team just fine

 

[Ducks DVM]

Surprisingly physical shift from Fowler

 

[Deuce22]

Kuemper enjoying his night off.

 

[Arthuros]

They pass to the wrong team just fine

I'd give you the laughing reaction, but it'd probably turn out like this:

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Hagg is dogshit and Carrick can sit for blowing that 2v1

 

[Ducks DVM]

I feel like when Johnston makes a really nice play that you should be honor bound to score afterwards.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

The wingers are leaving the zone too early, makes it difficult to have breakouts when the caps are pressuring so hard.

Hard to even single any player out because it seems like everyone has turned it over tonight.

That's our system all year.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Shots from outside the blue line are technically still shots. That is offset by Lybushkin being the shooter, however, making it a negative net shot.

 

[Arthuros]

I hate happy away team commentators...so much.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Fowler gonna play damn near half the game on the second night of a B2B. Malpractice

 

[duckaroosky]

"Net off behind John Gibson"

It's obviously in front of him, Ahlers

 

[Ducks DVM]

I hate happy away team commentators...so much.

Be nice to Hazy.

 

[Arthuros]

Be nice to Hazy.

In my defence...yesterday noon's game threw my timing off.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Paccioretty is lucky Wilson doesn’t play for us or he would just have had his career ended putting himself in that position against the boards.

 

[navyduck]

How the hell was that not interference???
