Prospect Info: 2014 Caps WJC Thread

[PuckBuddy]

I turned the game on just in time to see Sweden go full Capitals.

What numbers are Burakovsky and Djoos?

You never go full Capitals.

4 Djoos
18 Burro

Nice play by Forsberg.

 

[SimplySensational]

Burakovsky is either invisible, but everytime I do see him, he has really short shifts... Keeps giving Wennberg and Collberg ice time when they have been invisible..

 

[Liberati0n*]

Pretty nice shift for Burakovsky right now. Put him out on this PP please.

Keeps giving Wennberg and Collberg ice time when they have been invisible..

I don't get giving the fourth line momentum shift situation usage, esp. when down a goal. Their fourth line isn't going to crack the code of Finland's team defense + Saros. They don't have the pace, skill or puck movement for it.

Sweden's pace dipped in the second, in part because line usage hasn't reflected any sense of urgency. There's still a period to go and patience is needed but not to the extent it blunts momentum. Burakovsky's line has drawn two penalties and Burakovsky clearly warranted heavier usage early on yet they've routinely been at the end of the roll of lines.

Getting tired of the Capitals Lightning advertisement.

 

[Liberati0n*]

Ricky Gervais is right not to like that call.

 

[PuckBuddy]

Methinks Chicken Parm doth opine too much.

It gets on my nerves when it's not directed a losing Canadian teams.

Djoos with the game tying goal

 

[SimplySensational]

Djoos!

 

[SimplySensational]

Funny how Finns are whining, the tripping call was bad, but they ****ing missed that elbow. Sweden has 5 straight PPs because Finland stands around doing nothing in the mdidle of the ice.

 

[Langway]

I don't think Burakovsky has played since the game was tied up. Baffling.

They don't seem to trust Burakovksy 5 x 5 here. So he'll fit great with the Caps

 

[SimplySensational]

I'm starting to think the Capitals trade Forsberg because hes a soft version of Ovechkin.

 

[Langway]

Ristolainen has handled Forsberg very, very well today. His skating has looked like something of an issue vs. a much more intense gap.

4-on-4 OT so, uh, might want to use Burakovsky.

 

[marcel snapshot]

Burakovksy siting. . . and he almost lost his man there.

 

[SimplySensational]

Burakovsky first shift in OT is with Teravanien on... It makes no sense, I don't think the coach likes him.

Ritsoleinen w/a monster shift

 

[SimplySensational]

Ritsoleinen w/a monster shift

1 Swedish player slows him down, the 2 others don't go to get the puck.

 

[marcel snapshot]

Great pass from Burakovsky

 

[marcel snapshot]

Are there any soft Finnish players?

 

[marcel snapshot]

Ristolainen wins it

 

[Liberati0n*]

Lame.

 

[Langway]

Ristolainen was a beast the entire OT.

 

[MrMariusz]

What a goal.
