Post-Game Talk: Verizon Capitals vs. BB&T Panthers. 7:30pm. 10.20.2016 (The Stadium Edition)

[Alexander the Gr8]

You know, if we're not playing well, maybe it's because the Panthers are playing well. We're not alone on the ice.

All I've seen is the second, but they look slow as hell right now. Time to jumble the lines to try to get a spark, but Barry won't do it.

 

[Langway]

Guess you missed the last game? Sorry that they aren't perfect every game

Yeah, against a team playing the second of back-to-backs and three-in-four.

Hang in there, baby. It's what they do when things get uncomfortable rather than adapt and respond. Their comfort zone remains way too thick (much like that thing between their ears).

I guess so, maybe it was smuggling the "first 5 games" qualifier out of my post.

You guys seem to be under the impression that I'd like their passing percentage to be >90%. I just want the team to not look both slower and weaker than Florida, and would prefer that they pick one. Isn't this supposed to be a "will over skill" team? Did they not learn their lesson about taking every game seriously? If you're not moving your feet, it'd better be because you're taking somebody else off of theirs. If you're not doing either, switch practice jerseys with Sanford and take the next night off, because at least that kid is skating hard.

Although speaking of passing, the team quit passing intuitively between the first and second period, and I'm not really sure where the "fun" went.

Way to be an idiot kuzy.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

El Capitan deflects a 3 mph shot in the goal

 

[troyerlaw]

Did his stick really touch that? I couldnt tell from replay

 

[RandyHolt]

Ovi may have touched that but the angle barely changed, if at all.

How does the ref miss the G being high sticked and his helmet knocked off.

 

[twabby]

Yikes hope Winnik is ok

 

[SpinningEdge]

Holtbys helmet falls off easier than any goalie I've ever seen. I hope this doesn't result in a injury at some point. Very dangerous.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Ovi's ability to deflect pucks is his best kept secret. It's unreal how he's able to get his stick on the puck while cutting in front of the net and holding off the D at the same time.

alzner needs more love

alzner needs more love

He's one of the few players I pray for the longest term possible. If GMBM gave him a 8 year deal I'd have zero issue with that.

+1

can't imagine caps without him in line up

 

[troyerlaw]

Ovi may have touched that but the angle barely changed, if at all.

If you watch in real time and listen carefully to the audio, it does sound like it hits ovie's stick (unless it's actually the sound of ovie's stick hitting the D-man's stick). Hard to tell

 

[twabby]

Yay Mojo ices it. Good third period after a crappy second period.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Terrible turnover by the Cats, we'll take it. Last 3 minutes were a defensive clinic. And no, we're not opportunists, thank you Mr. Potvin.

Mojo dagger....2pts!

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Mojo seals the deal

Alzner is the type of guy to give a home town discount

 

[AtNightWeFly]

MoJo

 

[bur and 666 others]

Johanson scored. The Florida commentators" 'they are so opportunistic'. Really??? After 1,000,000 attempts by MoJo being all along in the front of the net, he finally scored. even in this game, he had few ones lol

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

2 pts, next.

He's getting a little meaner, too.
