Schultz breaking out of the zone is just beautiful.

 

[Melkor]

This is literally the only thing Vrana is able to do in a hockey game on a decent level. Someone gets him the puck in stride for a breakaway, he runs for his life and scores. Good but there are 2 or 3 such opportunities every 10 games at best. Needs to be able to do more.

I wish Oshie would teach him some moves... thats the guy you want to learn from with Vrana speed

 

[twabby]

The next shift Vrana played was entirely in the offensive zone. Excellent defense again

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Joe B to busy talking about fashion to see the call

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Ouch for Hischers face

 

[ovikovy817]

Ouch

You gotta be naturally gifted with hands like that to be able to pull that stuff off. Vrana usually gets tangled up in his own hands trying that.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Holy hell Nico is lucky. Hope he’s ok but man that could have been so much worse.

 

[Peeri]

Who are you going to play in his stead with Kuzy out, too? Pinho?

Who knows how long its been going on, OV is clearly playing below his normal level for quite some time now. I would take Pinho over current OV im not even kidding, atleast i can be sure he would be trying every shift. I know it sounds crazy, but right now i dont see OV bringing much to the squad outside of his one timer, which is also lacking this year.

 

[Corby78]

I feel like ive seen a high number of pucks in the face this year

Just NO

 

[Corby78]

lol, finally we get a call. Nice and timely. Although it was extremely obvious

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

are we in 1st place now? just asking

 

[ovikovy817]

Take 2 points
Give up 0

Be in the top 4.all it matters

 

[Roshi]

Well its a 2 pointer. Great. Moving on.

 

[Corby78]

but its a paper tiger, sell off everyone, burn it down!

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Not a perfect game but good enough

 

[IafrateOvie34]

2 Pts! HDH line is awesome. Some great saves in the 3rd and timely checks saved the game. Want to see Vrana do more of that.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Talked some shit about the 4th line and for good reason since they had a brutal run of play but man they were great today.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Only 2 goals the Devils got were gifts from the refs. See you tomorrow Jersey

 

[pman25]

Vanecek another solid game

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I hate to say it, but I didn't miss Kuzy at all.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Vanecek another solid game

He made some critical saves in the third. Some spectacular ones at that.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Not a perfect game but good enough

They looked like legit contenders in the 1st then age and laziness set in the 2nd until mid 3rd.
