Post-Game Talk: Capitals @ Flyers 12:30

[Hivemind]

Conor Sheary with the nice defensive play on his next shift.

Nice deflection by Sheary

We should re-sign him, like yesterday!

The timing of the extension (pre-expansion) was a little weird, but I love the deal.

 

[Calicaps]

Who just made that awful outlet pass?

Eller. Something's wrong with him today, every puck he touches ends up on a Flyers' stick.

getting comical at this point..

Weak call

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Super weak call against the Flyers, but I won't complain.

 

[Calicaps]

Eller. Something's wrong with him today, every puck he touches ends up on a Flyers' stick.

I have a feeling that whatever his injury that held him out earlier in the season, it's one of those, "can't make it worse by playing, can't fix it 'til offseason surgery" so he's just playing at 75% or something.

 

[Firsov99]

Good D by Kuzy in his own end while Orly was stuck in the offensive size.

 

[HTFN]

this is one of the funniest powerplays I've ever seen

 

[Hivemind]

Great shift for the 4th line, pity that nobody could get the puck to the center of the ice for a scoring chance tho

 

[Firsov99]

The two goal cushion is back.

 

[Hivemind]

Weak play by Sprong, but it draws a penalty anyway

 

[HTFN]

Hathaway with the alligator death roll on that Flyer's stick

 

[Neil Racki]

5-3 game with less than 10 mins to go ... not a fan of Jensen carrying the puck deep into the the zone circling the net like that

 

[um]

Its nice to see refs make calls regardless of the score or the time.

 

[trick9]

Eller has been terrible in this one.

 

[um]

The timing of the extension (pre-expansion) was a little weird, but I love the deal.

I kind of felt bad for Sheary. He deserved more than 4th liner money.

 

[Melkor]

If there ever was an example of "The ECHLer" it's today.

 

[Neil Racki]

Carlson has to take that high slap shot on the PP from time to time ... it’s always an automatic pass over to ovi

 

[um]

If there ever was an example of "The ECHLer" it's today.

Orlov and Kuzy looked like ECHLers after COVID. Hopefully Eller is back to normal by playoffs.

They just tryna pad his stats. Understandably so.

 

[Fallschirmyager]

That's a fair point. According to the other fans on this site though, the Caps underachieved and should've won at least 3 or 4 championships with the core they had for years with Ovi in his prime.

I still wish we had a Chara like defenseman in the past. We've always had high end offensive D but never high end defensive D like him.

Also Sheary is fantastic.

I don't think they're wrong. The team as a whole didn't show up and Ovy/Backy weren't good enough to win series by themselves.

 

[Melkor]

Orlov and Kuzy looked like ECHLers after COVID. Hopefully Eller is back to normal by playoffs.

If he's hurt that's a tall task.
