Be better in the third.

 

[DWGie26]

So we have played 20 minutes. So if we can play 40 minutes we’ll win.

For goalie interference? I thought it was only when challenging for offside?

Could be wrong but I think it's for any review challenge on a goal.

This is not a #3 PP. The coaching staff would be wise to recognize that and systematically change it. Same complaint I’ve had fir a while now, extremely stagnant and plodding. Faster puck movement, players skating and attacking. We are incredibly easy to defend if there are no broken sticks or we send a seeing eye shot.

Also hurting is that Ovechkin is a complete non factor, more a negative.

Puck movement and entry into the zone has been a huge problem for a long time.

What drives me crazy is how little movement there is. So many stationary parts.

That's a lame talk. They're #3, Forsythe is a bald genius and Vrana is the greatest zone enterer in the Ovechkin era.

Ovie is weird. His not even trying to make himself useful. He looks like he just doesnt care to take any part of it when we are on PP. Just sloppy cycle plays if someone forces the puck on him. Something obviously wrong, either he is playing injured or going through some rough motivation stretch.

Ovie being non relevant will eat that PP to zero. Ovie is the whole reason they play PP like they do.

Palmieri for an Oscar....

Which is why I suggested in the previous game thread to consider taking him off PP1. It’s limiting us essentially to 1/2 the ice, passing it to him unless it’s a 1 timer is a risk.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Dont suck and get the ROW

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

wow how did he not score that. He was wide open

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Devils almost score again... Dont turtle we wont win

 

[chilimac]

Caps in full-blown 'matinee mode'.

 

[Coldplay619]

Ovi is making dumb decisions out there.

 

[Roshi]

Looking like its not about if, but when..

 

[TcTap]

Chara lol. Literally bodied the guy away from the puck.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Seem to have settled down. Protect the lead and get 2 points

 

[Melkor]

Boring game. If only Kuznetsov and his 88% corsi were playing tonight..

 

[SherVaughn30]

Seem to have settled down. Protect the lead and get 2 points

Protect?! Caps need to pull heads out their butt and push harder to attack!

 

[McVechkin]

This team is very disappointing. Even when they are winning

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Protect?! Caps need to pull heads out their butt and push harder to attack!

Agree... thats how you protect the lead. Hold the puck

 

[Capsman]

Maybe OV is injured, and only the team would know. But if he is not, oh boy I don’t envy GMBM and this contract negotiation. He will be stuck between doing the smart thing and showing OV respect.
