Post-Game Talk: Lightening @ the Capital

[Sam Spade]

Gudas with the "assist".

I think it’s time to recognize that Siegs is an NHL defensemen.

All year I’ve been baffled by the negging on him

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

And that’s why you put pucks on net.....Orly!

little late....

 

[Sam Spade]

Holy cow is the ice horrible. Saw the time lapse of them finishing it at 5:11pm.

 

[Corby78]

Good grief another one

 

[Capsman]

little late....

Oh I’ve recognized it for a while now. Just a call to any doubters. Solid, solid.

 

[Corby78]

Stupid pulling the goalie that early. Oh well I’ll take it

 

[Sam Spade]

I will never understand this obsession with pulling the goalie on the PP like that. Just seems stupid. But I'm sure some stat guy says to do it.

 

[TRASHCAT]

giving the ning hope for 5 min was fun

 

[Capsman]

Just ridiculous with the penalties.

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

Holtbys best game of year, no doubt.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Other than penalties, I thought the Caps had a solid game and Holtby was robbed of a shutout win, however bounces happen. Boston just tied Nashville so there goes a potential 7 point lead in the conference of Eastern teams. Always great to beat Tampa and Killorn didn't score on us!

 

[Sam Spade]

Another win on the second half of a back to back.

 

[Corby78]

Maybe shooting the puck over the glass isn’t a good strategy?

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I think that was the best game of Siegenthaler’s career. Holtby was outstanding too.

Sorry but that penalty at the end with the Caps only up 1 goal takes away from my good thoughts on him tonight.

 

[Hivemind]

Siege has definitely been better lately. Not taking nearly as many penalties as he was earlier in the year, and making better reads on when to position aggressively vs. when to force them outside. Still a work-in-progress with the puck on his stick.

Another win on the second half of a back to back.

5-0-1???

 

[max21]

Lol we own Tampa bay

 

[Sam Spade]

5-0-1???

Yep. Not bad for our "old ass" team.

 

[Fallschirmyager]

Lol we own Tampa bay

yea well, we owned Carolina last year too. That didn't work out so well come playoff time.

 

[Fallschirmyager]

Yep. Not bad for our "old ass" team.

Oh I love the winning but this team seems to be a really weird combination of disinterested and lethal and all points in between and that's just in one game.

 

[StrikingDistance]

On the positive side: The PK was awesome

On the negative side: The PK shouldn't need to be awesome

Thought a couple calls were cheap, but 0/7 against the Lights is impressive.

They have lost 6 games in regulation out of 37
