Post-Game Talk: Preseason Game #87: Bloog @ Caps | 4/21/18 | 3:00pm EST

The big question is how bad are they going to play next game?

I think caps win game six

 

[McVechkin]

Wow. I’m shocked how they responded. First from blowing the lead and an awful 3rd period. 2nd from all those great chances in OT not going in.

As a caps fan, you wouldn’t expect a win there. Love it!

 

[StrikingDistance]

Get to work you drunken schlums.

 

[twabby]

Kuznetsov is a superstar. What an individual performance from him taking the game over.

 

[artilector]

Fun game!
7 heads out of 10 (coin flips).
Who is still incredibly surprised that the Caps might win 4 straight?
This team knows how to win in the 1st round!

 

[IafrateOvie34]

chandler stephenson, high key incredible game

I'm looking forward to him, Gersich, and Jonsson-Fjallby with some of the younger defense guys in the future.

 

[Calicaps]

Great post-game by Kuz.

 

[tycoonheart]

I think they play better. The home ice pressure is killing them. They’re looser on the road. Caps in 6!

I dunno. This team clearly plays their best when their backs are against the wall. It's why they seem to be able to come back from being down 0-2 or 1-3 or 2-3, but always struggle to close the series out.

My guess is they come out with a strategy to sit back and play defense. Wait for Columbus to make a mistake.

I hope they prove me wrong.

 

[artilector]

Man, if only he went to the body a couple of times

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Believe in this team, we'll win the series in Cbus next game. We came back from down 2-0 to be up 3-2, all the momentum is with us. CBJ has all the pressure.

 

[Raikkonen]

Great post-game by Kuz.

What did he say?!

 

[ovikovy817]

Now the most important thing it's to know what happened to JC74. I hope is not an important injury.

 

[Raikkonen]

T-5th with a lot now. (Gretzky)

Joe Sakic 8
Maurice Richard 6
Glenn Anderson and Patrick Kane 5

Oh, maybe it was some stats for active players in previous years and Kane had 4 at that moment. Knew Backstrom was high.

 

[Raikkonen]

Now the most important thing it's to know what happened to JC74. I hope is not an important injury.

I think camera showed him on the bench in normal state, not bothered by anything.

 

[Calicaps]

What did he say?!

He was straight out about how they’ve stopped playing in the third in every game this series except game 4. Said he doesn’t know why they do it, and that they need to look at the tape and figure it out.

Me too.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

I'm a little nauseated. I prepared myself for a loss and now I don't know what to do with myself.

Doesn't know? So he doesn't read HFB. Pity. Have to send him the message about turtling

 

[Capitals40]

Great post-game by Kuz.

His interviews are always entertaining..and his English is excellent

 

[Raikkonen]

Btw, now both Metro division series are 3-2. LOL. Who would have thought that week ago?

Also was asked about Ovie not converting on his great pass in OT and said 8 is saving the winner for next game.

I was thinking the same thing..

 

[ovikovy817]

Need another little miracle from Flyers, to have at least a G7 for Pens before R2.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

What makes it more satisfying is it always seems the media is against the Caps and get super excited with Cap's opposition every series. It doesn't matter who calls the games, it just always seems they hate the Caps.

 

[marcel snapshot]

One or more of Kuzy, Nick and Eller have been instrumental in each of our 3 wins. strength down the middle
