Post-Game Talk: [GDT] Primary city vs equatic flightless birds

[895]

Huh apparently Holtby is 3-6 versus Pittsburgh. That seems surprising since we've done well against the Pens recently (or so I thought).

 

[tycoonheart]

That should be a good goal. The hell?

 

[Acallabeth]

Eh, that's a right no goal technically.

 

[Carlzner]

Washed out... why exactly?

 

[hb12xchamps]

Good call. Initially thought Williams was pushed but replay shows otherwise

 

[bobbybobcat11]

That no-goal is less rage inducing than the past ones

 

[Hivemind]

Don't really have a problem with that one being called off. Of all of the Williams no goals this year, that one is understandable beyond replay technicalities.

 

[895]

I wonder what the time limit on that is. If Williams waited one second for Fleury to get up and then shot, would it have counted?

 

[Capitals40]

Williams stop running into the goalie please

 

[peterthegreat12]

The Caps forwards are making the Pens D look like all-stars. Especially Ovie. He is invisible.

IIRC I don't think the Caps ever beat the Pens under Oates which would explain the 6 loss thing

 

[Capsman]

Getting to be a bad habit with Williams, though. That one was unnecessary. He can shield the goalie without always getting within a cm of him.

I guess. But jeez, he is skating at the very top of the paint. In the old days, that wouldn't have even registered on the scale of goalie interference.

And it did follow Perron amd Malkin standing in our crease and taking repeated whacks at anything which looked remotely like a puck. I didn't them blow the play dead for impeding goatender there

why are Pens players left all alone near our net?

ummm are you watching the same game? The Capitals have had tons of grade A chances, Fleury has bailed out their defense.

Yea the last 10 minutes or so has been all pens.

 

[troyerlaw]

How do they miss that? There were 6 skaters on ice and linesman was looking right at the pileup at bench

 

[hb12xchamps]

Pretty bad fight overall

 

[bur and 666 others]

Oshie is so awesome, such a puck dog

 

[Koized]

oh usually when I watch a game I consider the full game and just not segments

Williams is 34 and has won three cups. I'm pretty sure that his habits are already set, and he knows what he's doing.

 

[Acallabeth]

Yeah, Wilson takes Cindy down!

 

[mad4comp]

Then you're okay with getting outshot 32-23?

 

[troyerlaw]

Totally unbearable to listen to this ROOT crew do the game

 

[bobbybobcat11]

I'll never be upset with someone consistently going to the net - even if it negates a goal every once in a while. That presence is something this team needs. We have plenty of skilled players that can shoot to their heart's content, but getting those bodies around the paint will pay off more often than not. Such a crucial part of the game, and Williams has been doing it brilliantly so far.
