2 points Lloyd. Serve it up FUGLY.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Snatched undeserved victory from the jaws of embarrassing defeat.

 

[Holtbyisms]

hell yeah, 2 more points baby. keep rollin, can't all be easy.

 

[Acallabeth]

MVP MVP MVP

What the hell was that late in the OT Carlson? :laugh

Great game by Ovechkin, not so much for everyone else.

3v3 OT sucks.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Ugly win, but two points!

 

[Capitals40]

2 points is 2 points this time of year...hopefully we will figure it out but gotta let our skilled players loose.

 

[foundhockey]

Whew. 2 points!

Bura is brutal. BRUTAL. There is absolutely no way he is ready to help out this team, especially in the top 6. Turnover machine. Won't make the simple plays. Gets outmuscled consistently

 

[Herregud]

Does a SO goal go down as a GWG even if it doesn't count as an actual goal?

Nope.

I hate to admit it, but yeah. Send him to Hershey. Let him fill Vrana's spot.

It's weird, he was much better than that last year in the playoffs. Sophomore slump I guess.
Ryan Strome is dealing with the same issues right now, they scratched him and sent him down for a few games. Still a terrible game by Bura and many others tonight.

Avoided an embarrassing defeat at the hands of the worst team in the league, all thanks to you-know-who.

Trotz has some work with these guys.

Trotz is trying to see if he can get his game going by putting him in the top 6. I have no doubt Trotz is going to send his ass to Hershey if he doesn't turn his game around quick. Seriously, there is no room for the guy on this team - playing the way he has.

Oh, and was anyone watching the Leafs stream? Who were those Ovechkin fanboy commentators?

 

[BackToTheBasics]

Jim Hughson and Craig Simpson I believe.

The HNIC panel? They are the same fools who were bashing Ovi when things went south circa 2012.
Now they're gushing over him like 12 year old fangirls. All they kept talking about is how great he is.

Sometimes I wonder if these guys post on HF. Their opinion changes drastically all the time.

 

[EroCaps]

Bura is playing a soft, soft game. Physically and mentally. Worrisome.

The team on the whole needs to get back to basics. Pronto.

They deserved to lose at home to a bottom 3 team.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Burakovsky had a bad game but he at least looked more effective when he was on the 3rd line than Wilson.

 

[um]

he wasn't talking about the panel... And I don't recall Jim Hughson and Craig Simpson ever really bashing Ovechkin and it was only a couple of commentators, but go ahead generalize if it makes you feel better.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

This coaches challenge needs to go away...and I'm generally in support of those in pro sports...but this crap is broken. My idea if it was to tweak it. If any part of the goalie from the overhead cam is outside of the crease it makes goalie interference challenges a no go.

The coach's challenge has become a way for the goalies to have goals overturned just by going to the edge of the blue paint and pretending to be hit by an 18 wheel Mack truck.

Ah, my mistake, I thought he was talking about the panel.
I was talking about Glenn Healy who ripped Ovechkin a new one just a year ago and who was in awe of him today.

Hughson and Simpson are relatively fair and unbiased.

 

[kmart]

apparently ovechkin deflected that williams pass. didnt really noticed it.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

i remember the days if the goalie was out of the crease it was tough doo doo for the goalie

lmao!!!

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Caps pull it out. Just need Navy to finish off #13 Memphis.

Hell yes! I'll be there next week!

 

[Brian23]

With how Galiev is blowing up in Hershey, I'd like to see him get some of that time in the bottom pairing. Bura just needs a bunch of games playing big minutes to get into the flow of things.

 

[um]

That's true, and Healy is a well known... idiot, like Milbury.

Either way it is true to some degree that Ovechkin has come back, early 2013 were dark times for Ovechkin, I remember even I was considering the possibility of trading him. While a lot of the bashing was completely false and uncalled for, like that stupid gif from the Rangers series it wasn't completely undeserved, Ovechkin fell off big time for awhile there.
