Post-Game Talk: Washington Stanley Cup Champitals @ Yotes 9PM

It usually takes guys a few games at least to find their footing after a concussion.

Woo! Snake!

I only speak ill of Kuznetsov because whenever I do he plays well.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Is Kuznetsov playing tonight? You could have fooled me....

someone posted last GDT ... Kuzy post-concussion is still getting back into RS play mode. Osh had a lengthy period of not playing like he normally does last season after he returned. Takes awhile.

 

[Corby78]

Vrana is everything Burakovsky will never be.

We had a thread a couple years ago debating kuzy Vs Bura. Little did we know Vrana would pass Bura

Really a pity. Bura looked so promising early. Ship him off to a desperate Oil for something.

 

[Calicaps]

oof

 

[Empty Goal Net]

4th line overmatched on that sequence

 

[peterthegreat12]

Top line has been close to non-existent tonight. Need Backy/Ovi to make something happen.

Bura looked better his first season then he does now. His development really has stalled.

 

[peterthegreat12]

Also, Siegenthaler and Djoos on the ice for both goals....

So why was Bowey scratched?

 

[kicksavedave]

What?? Can someone please point out the rule that calls for a penalty shot in that scenario???

Found it: 53.6 Penalty Shot - When any member of the defending team, including the Coach or any non-playing person, throws or shoots any part of a stick or any other object or piece of equipment at the puck or puck carrier in his defending zone, the Referee or Linesman shall allow the play to be completed and if a goal is not scored, a penalty shot shall be awarded to the non-offending team. This shot shall be taken by the player designated by the Referee as the player fouled.

I think they felt obligated to put Siegenthaler in.

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

Oh my god, Bura...

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Just throw Bura away. I don't even care anymore. Feed him to the Polar bears.

Are you watching 65 on that line? He is ruining everything.

 

[maacoshark]

I missed the first half of the game but noticed that Djoos and Siegenthaler were on the ice for both goals against.

Yep. Not a great pairing.

This actually reminds me of a fun time I had around 1999 or so, my beer league team captain was from Buffalo and he organized a team road trip (From Ashburn VA) to Buffalo to play a charity game vs the Sabres alumni. Gilbert Perreault, Richard Martin, Fred Stanfield, Larry Playfair? couple others solid names. Great fun game (expect I was goalie and they scored 13 on us), but late in the game we got a breakaway and their guy hooked our guy so blatantly we all laughed at it, he kinda just tackled him. Got a penalty shot awarded. All the guys standing around the bench area, and when our guy skates into the zone, all the Sabres threw all their sticks into his path. Our guy dodged them sliding past him pretty well, got off a shot, but didn't score. Then we all went out to the bar and got drunk together. Great bunch of dudes, one of the highlights of my beer league life.

Final score 13-5.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Are those shoulder patches for the Yotes new?

 

[peterthegreat12]

Vrana is the only positive these last two games.

 

[SpinningEdge]

Man. This PP has lost a lot of its effectiveness since Oshie has been out.

 

[peterthegreat12]

I'll take it,

 

[SpinningEdge]

Yay!

 

[tycoonheart]

This is such a weird game.
