Post-Game Talk: 12/30 6pm Preds @ Caps

[nine_inch_fang]

1-3-1 in the last 5 games, 4-1in the 5 before that. 5 games left before the halfway point, need another 4-1 type stretch to be set up nicely for the back half of the season.

Any word on the starting goalie?

Games not for another 7+ hrs. Probably wont know till an hour or so before puckdrop. Askarov was backup last night but will they actually play him or would they rush Lankinen back from illness or play saros both sides of a back to back. He did only face 23 shots last night

If it were me I’d play Askarov. Gives him another taste of the NHL, gives Saros a game off to rest, and Lankinen another night to get healthy.

Saros needs to backup tonight after his last couple of games.

 

[AintLifeGrand]

will be at the Widespread Panic show tonight so will be following loosely from my phone.

Panic played a 3 night new years eve run at Bridgestone Arena in 2016 .

They still hold the record for Sell Outs at Philips Arena so its great having a semi collision of my favorite band and 2 fav hockey teams

 

[AnalogKid]

Hoping for the best tonight but on the flip side I got the Caps 1st line on my fantasy team. This Northern Virginia kid will be happy either way, the wife may beg to differ.

Saros has put up some steaming piles lately. Give the kid a look.

Let Askarov witness first hand what Ovechkin will do to an aggressive goalie that gets himself out and f position too often. Might do the kid some good.

Ovie is riding the goal scoring struggle bus right now.

[hido]

Well, I'm now intrigued a bit more by this game.

 

[herzausstein]

Go get em kid. Give HFboards a goaltending "controversy" to discuss

 

[101st_fan]

Back end of a back to back with Saros on a losing skid ... sitting him makes sense.

 

[nine_inch_fang]

I want to see the bench press tonight!

If he bench presses the net in his second NHL start, I’m buying his jersey.

 

[wmupreds]

One thing is for sure, we're gonna see some old fashioned internet overreacting whichever way Yaro's performance goes tonight

 

[Legionnaire11]

A win is most important, but I'd also love to keep Ovi off the scoresheet again as well!

 

[ShagDaddy]

Glass back to the box. If Svechkov keeps playing like he has been in Milwaukee, he might get called up sooner rather than later.

 

[herzausstein]

Are askarovs pads black or dark navy?
