We need an emoticon that shakes its head specifically at Jon Cooper, usually after looking at his top line.

Whack-a-mole.

 

[DFC]

Whack-a-mole.

Namestnikov is at least a decent stick handler, but he can't find the seams the way you would want him to for that line.

Considering the way JAM played last game, it would be pretty easy to insert him anywhere in the top-six and quite possibly improve it. It was JAM who made the play to TJ for the goal.

Kucherov needs a longer look with Stamkos. Regardless of Stamkos's reputation far exceeding his value, it's still kind of like keeping a Ferrari locked in the garage.

I agree about Kucherov, but Coop is just being stubborn, also feel the Johnson/Kucherov chemistry has gone a little stale, they did not even have a SOG when together last game. So it's an opportunity to move Kucherov up with Stamkos, imo. But whatever.

Stuck at work for another hour.

Might make it in time for the 3rd if I'm lucky.

 

[DFC]

TJ's shot looking good.

 

[Brie]

Two nice shots on either goalie (by TJ from us and by Ovi for them)

 

[Brie]

Stammer is doing that "hold-onto-the-puck-to-long" - thing again.

 

[DFC]

Wow. Sustr.

Starting to look like a legit #6

 

[FDfranklin]

Crap shift from Stammer

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Go Vasy

 

[Brie]

*lol* at our road record this season "5-5-1", that's just sad and it probably won't look any better after tonight.

...That's really not too bad for a road record.

 

[Brie]

Oh that was close.

 

[FDfranklin]

Did Ovi just nut check Vasi?

 

[DFC]

Washington's gonna try to exploit Carle all night.

 

[DFC]

And, just like that, we're screwed.

 

[Brie]

Early PK, now we might see how a good PP should look like.

 

[The Macho King]

Guard the one timer maybe?

 

[DFC]

So why in the **** (<-- all caps) are we leaving Ovi with 20 feet to any side of him free?

 

[MrClutch86]

Someone should probably cover Ovechkin's area on the left circle during penalty kills. Just a thought.

 

[DFC]

Yippy, it's Carle and Sustr vs. Ovi.

 

[Bolts265]

Wow Ovie with 109 sog and Stammer with 60!!!

 

[The Macho King]

Wow - how could anyone have seen that coming?
