Post-Game Talk: The Flying V comes to Washington 8:00

[maacoshark]

And that is how you win in today's NHL.

I saw that. Didn't realize our replacements have outscored the guys we lost.

 

[Corby78]

Poor Schmidt shouldn't be in that group.

 

[Capitals40]

Holtby needed to come out and cut down the angle..he was in the freakin blue paint

 

[Sam Spade]

Poor Schmidt shouldn't be in that group.

Djoos is a pretty steady dman who jumps in when he should. I haven't thought about Schmidt in a while actually.

 

[Sam Spade]

Caps are doubling them up on the scoring chances. Just keep playing the way they are playing.

 

[Capitals40]

We need to play physical and as the guys said forecheck..sure could use TJ this game.

We could use TJ every game. He just does so many things well, and he almost never takes a day off

 

[maacoshark]

Gibson made a pretty nice save on chiasson

 

[twabby]

Might just be one of those games

 

[Capitals40]

That was a great save.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

So the reason the Ducks aren't terrible despite all of their injuries is Gibson. I get it now.

 

[Calicaps]

Kuzy’s drunk

 

[Sam Spade]

Wilson needs to change sticks.

 

[Capitals40]

Time for another shorty Chiasson.

 

[Hivemind]

Poor Schmidt shouldn't be in that group.

Nor should Williams, given that with 7G and 22P, he'd rank pretty high among Capitals (5th goals, 6th points). That list is basically remarking that Johansson has been injured and limited to 15 games, while Alzner and Winnik two goals combined (nobody was too upset about losing them).

Also if you count assists in that list it looks very different.

 

[Calicaps]

So ugly

 

[Hivemind]

Quality screen by Orpik.

 

[Bladerunner]

I had an unsure (bad?) feeling about this one as game time approached.

Maybe it was just getting over an awful cold. Oh well lots of time left and only down 1 ... 2 sheesh

Could not afford him

 

[Corby78]

yeah, for losing points vs bad teams....

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Might be a bit premature here, but I'm at the point where I'm ready to see what I could get in return for Burakovsky. There are no signs that he's going to take any meaningful steps forward in his development and his decision making is so slow on the ice. He's a big old bag of meh.

At only 22 year old and a $3M cap hit, he's still a very solid asset to have around even if he never progresses beyond being a 35-40 point contributor. Given the upside, I'd say to hang onto him. Doesn't make sense to sell low.

 

[Capitals40]

Team is blah..Holtby looks very shaky.

 

[Capsman]

This is why I have my doubts about us ever going far in the Trotz era. A general reliance on individual plays and ad lib in the neutral and offensive zones. Not a lot to fall back on offensively when the team isn’t feeling it.

 

[Calicaps]

Agreed. 70 definitely losing the goalie duel.
