Post-Game Talk: Bloojackets @ Caps - Nuff that ****, Cbus (7pm)

[RandyHolt]

Nothing wrong with trying hard.

I miss it. Its now not often you see two guys both laying down to block a shot in the 2nd period of a game.

 

[Calicaps]

Is hockey fun again?

Caps' O seems to be coming alive, so maybe, yeah.

 

[SpinningEdge]

Yup. Offside would've had no impact on the goal. Cbus even got possession and had a chance to clear. Terrible rule.

I don't see how offsides can be reviewed. Caps didn't score on a offsides - they scored after CBJ turned it over. Rule should be once another team gets possession you shouldn't be able to challenge a possession before that. That's too much.

That period made me feel very good

Only when the Capitals show up and leave their Predator-ness behind.

10 second window. If a goal is scored within 10 seconds of zone entry and there's question about offside violation, you can challenge. Yes it's arbitrary but that's better than what we currently have. 10 seconds is plenty of time for a defense to regroup.

And if they're going to make Offside reviewable despite having linesmen specifically there to make the call then why shouldn't ANY call be reviewable?

Haha. Make to many men on the ice reviewable. Just think how many goals would be taken away on BS challenges.

Penalties especially. Those are calls that should be able to be reviewed. A blown call can be huge. 2 minutes for blown calls happens way too much.

 

[Roughing]

It's almost like, we're efforting, and stuff.

as my french neighbor once said, "is no majeeek. is haaaad werk."

 

[twabby]

Despite scoring the same number of goals I thought the Capitals looked much better that period. Had some more possession and the Jackets didn't really have any grade A chances.

 

[Hivemind]

The Mites have the best celebrations this year.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Mites On Ice are once again hilarious!

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Last time we thought hockey was really fun, Boston scored a bajillion goals in a row and the Capitals didn't get a shot for like 35 minutes.

Ugh, totally forgot about that. Yeesh.

 

[Hivemind]

Ugh, totally forgot about that. Yeesh.

Someone (you maybe?) posted a "Hockey is fun again!" comment in that GDT, too, which is what made me think of it.

 

[SpinningEdge]

Ugh, totally forgot about that. Yeesh.

It's 2017 - switch flipped?!

 

[capsfan59]

Burakovsky is so strong with the puck. It is pretty amazing to see. They can't get the puck off him. It's not just this game.

 

[Hivemind]

They're turtling, but it's 4-0 and the neutral zone trap is actually working

 

[Hivemind]

Signs of life from the first line at even-strength.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Gonna pull sponge bob?

 

[twabby]

Williams with a great shot. Re-sign Williams!

 

[36kap36]

Goodbye Sergei

 

[hockeykicker]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Hivemind]

What a snipe, but Bob needs to be taller on the near side, there.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Streak over.
