Post-Game Talk: Hockey game vs leafs

[Raikkonen]

Caps have 4 forwards, 3 defenders (1 injured) and 1 goalie. Long season... decade?

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Nylander's 'skate away from the net, spin around and shoot' routine is the most predictable play in the league. Saw it about 10 times in the playoffs last year and he's done it a couple times tonight.

 

[Corby78]

Is it too late for me to pick a different NHL team?

nope go right ahead.

 

[Coldplay619]

We aren't creating anything.

Looks like we're just trying to keep this game respectable.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Oh Bura. What the hell happened to you?

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

With $33M tied up in players on the wrong side of 30, the bumps are going to last a lot more than this year.

10 years from now the team will be completely different. The only guy who might still wear a Caps jersey is Kuznetsov.

 

[philip]

nope go right ahead.

Unfortunately for my sanity, I wasn't serious. I bleed red and misery

Some lazy vets 2nite..they could get away with that the last couple of years but this year they will be golfing in April if they do that.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Ovechkin is too far behind on each play. He needs to start moving his feet.

Bura at 19 was better than now. Remember when he wa tried at center with Kuznetsov? He was dominant, better than Kuzy. Regressed every season since then

That was super shortlived, and it was nothing more than a hot streak. Burakovsky is an eternal rookie. He's got 3 years of experience in the NHL and he appears the same as the day he set foot on NHL ice. It's kind of like Johansson whose progression stalled for 5-6 years and then took off around the age of 25. Except Burakovsky is not as good as Johansson.

Vrana almost, but shooting to the belly continues. Though Walker looks good. Kuzy is dangerous, Backstrom is still... it's time to write the after the game write up. no urgencies, seems it will be 0-1 til the end

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Finally a strong shift, but it comes with only 3 minutes left in the game.

 

[RandyHolt]

Ovi at left point.... sexy.

Or hard to watch.

It's good for about a goal a year.

 

[Calicaps]

Woof

 

[Coldplay619]

Can't wait to see what Barry's plan is.

Bedtime.

 

[philip]

f*** it

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Trotz is going to have to shake this up on offense. #65 needs to have his ice time reduced.

 

[Capitals40]

Locker must be on drugs..we should have lost by 4 goals

 

[Hivemind]

*series of loud farting noises*

 

[philip]

We are actually awful. If Ovi doesnt score, who else is gonna? This is pathetic. Bottom 6 and whole D core can go boil their arses

 

[Raikkonen]

10 to top-6 next I guess

 

[Sam Spade]

You can look at this one of two ways. Caps held the Leafs to one goal or the Caps got shutout by the Leafs.

I'll stick with the former because I'm an optimist.

Agree about Burakovsky, he needs to go down to line 3 and let Wilson play with line two. Just don't panic and break up line one.
