Pre-Game Talk: Canes at Caps, G5

[A Star is Burns]

I'll respond to this. The team responded like a team that's been responding all season. Yet our response is to doubt their ability to respond. Well, no more. Their response to Svechnikov's injury in Game 3 was terrific. Their response to the Caps determination to respond to the Canes cleaning their clocks and showing their best game in Game 4 resulted in a goal 17 seconds into the game. Now we just have to see how we respond to the fact that we're going to have to win a game in Washington to win this series. And the Caps are sure to respond after Oshie's injury and being dominated twice in Raleigh.

It will be interesting to see how we respond.

Your response about responding was not the response I expected you to respond with, but it was a good response. You must have learned that from how well the Canes have responded since December 31st.

Your response to his response was a good response

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

How can I even respond to that?

 

[Svechhammer]

With a response?

 

[The Faulker 27]

The fact that he can say the word "doubts" is a great sign.

The Caps tears should be extra salty now...

Bettman right now

 

[zman77]

Petr is on fire!!

Good. I hate seeing Oshie hurt, but he lost his edge and was going down into the boards on his own.

This guy has media credentials to cover the Caps for a news station.

I bet this clown thinks Tom Wilson has never made a dirty play in his life.

Dude seems like a real clown show. The kind of "journalist" that exists to generate clicks with his "provocative strong opinions". In another tweet/story he goes on how "classless" the Canes coach has been the whole series.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

I will admit that I'm growing a little tired of having tornado watches and warnings the day before each game. Maybe we could be the Carolina Flufflepuffs next year. I don't care what it means to our image.

HERE COME THE MOTHERf***ING FLUFFLEPUFFS

 

[Svechhammer]

Just leave this one here....

 

[Wolfpuck]

I wonder how many of those tough guys would say that shit to Foegele's face?

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

Win or lose this series, I must say, good 'ol Warren Foegele is definitely being noticed and leaving his mark. Good for him.

He had a good season.

Caps fans, for the next several years:

BAH GAWD THAT'S WARREN FOEGELE'S MUSIC

Let them hate us for a while. Let's hope we are worthy of that hate for many years to come.

Heard FoegeDaddy is free and clear. Found awesome 'live footage' of his reaction:

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Every time you see a caps fan whine about Foegele on the main board, post this picture.

Or don’t, because that’s probably trolling. It would be funny though.

Their entire playoff av theme is base on Wilson. I get why they are livid--I do--but the irony speaks for itself.

 

[My Special Purpose]

I hope the Caps are as wrapped up in Foegele hate as their fans and media members. He's in their heads, and that's good for us. It's also good for us if Tom Wilson runs around trying to "get" Aho or someone else. The bottom line is that we've got to steal one up there somehow, and this is as good a way as any.

I think -- but have no evidence -- that the Canes are going to hold Svechnikov out of the rest of the first round even if he's cleared simply because there's no reason to put him on the same sheet of ice with Ovechkin, Wilson, Orpik, Niskanen and the rest of Washington's punks right now.

The idea of dressing seven d-men appeals to me, and not just because the 2006 Canes did it routinely.

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

lol it's been so funny seeing the ridiculous spellings of foegele this week. I think i might just intentionally keep misspelling his name. feckelle or frugal lol.

 

[NotOpie]

Yeah, after watching the replays a hundred times, you can call the league’s softest cross check on that. The proximity to the boards and Oshie’s speed were factors in the injury. Unfortunate. I’ve also seen whining that the crowd was booing Oshie. The fans clapped when he got up and was going off the ice. The booing was for the refs, who made a call that wasn’t agreed with

I think I also have observed that when the boos started Ovechkin was on the ice/had the puck....

How can I even respond to that?

These responses have been quite responsible.

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Catch 22 for Foegele and the Canes. If he drops the gloves, it ends it and could kill some of Washington's intensity. However, he could get KOed and leave an already thin forward group down another man.

I've really had enough of "fighting" for this series lol. Just let him keep trolling them with goals etc. that's good enough

 

[A Star is Burns]

I feel like Foegele is having the Erik Cole from his first playoffs impact. Maybe a few less smug smiles in the faces of other guys, but overall feels kinda similar.

My hope is he scores the GWG and gives that same deadass stare to the crowd that Cole did to the Bell Centre in 2002

I also think it's worth noting that Brindy, Williams and the team have been steadfast in their support of Foegele since Day 1 of training camp. I dare say the majority of us would have banished his "perfect Hurricane" a$$ to Charlotte during the dark days of Nov.-thru-February, but because of Roddy's loyalty, we're getting rewarded with this beautiful playoff performance.
