Post-Game Talk: Canes @ Caps 7pm 1st in the standings, last in Corsi

[AtNightWeFly]

What? MoJo put himself in front of net for the rebound. He earned that goal. Ovi definitely earned the assist too - but MoJo earned his point too.

I know but this fool just stands there collecting goals. He has the easiest job on the PP.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Niskanen is an unsung hero, show him some love too

 

[Raikkonen]

gg..

 

[txpd]

ok...so when is winning 5-0 game after game a bad thing because they winning too easy?

 

[g00n]

Just destroying everyone. And the crazy thing is nobody has come up with any kind of answer for it yet, other than trying to knock us around and hope the refs don't blow the whistle.

Carolina broadcasting crew giving him lots of love and the Caps as well

standing in front of the net when Ov is shooting them isn't an easy job.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

The inevitable face plant come this spring is going to hurt so, so bad.

 

[TRASHCAT]

Well this is going to be the most dissappointing second round exit yet

 

[Midnight Judges]

The thing that's different this year seems to be the transition game. Caps turn and burn.

 

[Caps Circle]

5-0 in goals, 60.3% Score-Adjusted CF%

Who had "we'll win both?"

 

[AtNightWeFly]

standing in front of the net when Ov is shooting them isn't an easy job.

Pffft. He stands off to the side.

 

[txpd]

Pffft. He stands off to the side.

you....uh....never seen Ov miss a headhunter wide before?

 

[Langway]

Oh, just up to a 65.8 5-on-5 GF%. That's only 4.4% higher than the next best team in the last ten years league-wide.

[895]

To be fair that's only because he got lit up by Pittsburgh and pulled so Grubie ate the loss.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

One of the most complete games of the year. If Ovechkin plays that well the rest of the way in, he might end up hitting 50 after all.

 

[SpinningEdge]

Holtby 12-0 last 12 decisions. .930 save percentage on the year, NHL lead in shutouts, 1.94 gaa.

System goalie. Trade him.

 

[Sam Spade]

Again with the surgical victory.

As a Cap fan of course I am a pessimist so man I hope this break doesn't mess with the teams chemistry.

If a normal team was that good, they'd be the overwhelming favourites for the Cup. Since we're the Washington Capitals, we're only a maybe for the playoffs. If we lose again in the 2nd round, I'll throw my computer and TV out the window.

I'll throw MYSELF out the window.

 

[Revelation]

Holtby 12-0 last 12 decisions. .930 save percentage on the year, NHL lead in shutouts, 1.94 gaa.

System goalie. Trade him.

Grubauer practically identical GAA and Save % despite being given mostly trap games, clearly Holtby irreplaceable and system has nothing to do with anything.

 

[twabby]

Oh, just up to a 65.8 5-on-5 GF%. That's only 4.4% higher than the next best team in the last ten years league-wide.

That's what happens when a really good team gets really lucky.

 

[Calicaps]

Oh, just up to a 65.8 5-on-5 GF%. That's only 4.4% higher than the next best team in the last ten years league-wide.

 

[artilector]

As far as regular season hockey, this is heaven. Thank you, Caps.

Mission for next year -- 4 scoring lines! There's gotta be a couple more Connolly's lying around.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Holtby 12-0 last 12 decisions. .930 save percentage on the year, NHL lead in shutouts, 1.94 gaa.

System goalie. Trade him.

The System upped Grubby value enough I'm now team trade grubs

 

[SpinningEdge]

Grubauer practically identical GAA and Save % despite being given mostly trap games, clearly Holtby irreplaceable and system has nothing to do with anything.

Mostly trap games?? You mean against mainly weak teams?

Grubs has been excellent - but Holtby is still dominant consistently. He could win vezina 2nd year in a row....
