Post-Game Talk: Capitals @ Islanders- 4/5/14 5:00 PM Caps Win 4-3 (SO)

[Raikkonen]

My bet is on Holtby.

 

[troyerlaw]

How we do

 

[g00n]

Welp, tank is off again. Whatev

 

[Kcoyote3]

50 will have to wait for another day.

 

[PuckBuddy]

16-3 Caps, huh? Could someone screencapture that scoreboard fluke?

 

[artilector]

I turned it off... I figure I can always watch Ovi's 50th on replay.

 

[troyerlaw]

Holtby definitely stronger in shootouts than halak is

 

[Klargplutte]

Yaaay

[foundhockey]

Aww, did you see Ward give that kid his hockey stick? How cool.

Yay, Holtby!

Ovie's got four games to get one goal.

 

[Bure]

Kuznetsov is a goodie

 

[Raikkonen]

True Story

 

[Zoidberg Jesus]

Ugh, worst case scenario. Caps win, Ovie doesn't score, Holtby has a so-so outing. Cuts our chances for the number 6 pick roughly in half. At least it's nice to see Kuznetsov scoring.

 

[Raikkonen]

Bad game results in a Big Nylander Uncertainty.

 

[troyerlaw]

Kuznetsov is a goodie

Absolutely. He is one of the few bright spots as we near tthe end of a disappointing season.

Ward too. I was wrong about that guy. I thought we had been fooled by one hot scoring streak in postseason and then overpaid him. He has been a pleasure to watch this year. Him and 25 have actual chemistry. A concept i have heard about from other teams.

Orlov looks good too. Shame it took us so long to give him a chance.

Was kuz playing center today or wing? I lost track.

Trivia question: who leads Caps in plus/minus this year?

 

[PuckBuddy]

Awesome. What Adam Oates' dreams look like.

Ward or Grabo?

 

[um]

Awesome. What Adam Oates' dreams look like.

even in his dreams he lets in 3 goals

 

[troyerlaw]

Oleksy

+7

Followed by Grabo (+5) and Ward and Wellman (tied at +4).

 

[Capitals1974]

Oleksy

+7

Yeah, but only ~30 games. I can't believe Ovi, Mojo and Backis +/- btw

 

[Hivemind]

mini-Nylander sucks anyway.

 

[Devil Dancer]

No more family members! No more ex-Cap coaches! Llyod needs fresh blood.

 

[troyerlaw]

No more ex-Cap coaches!

I feel the same way.

So it'll probably be Konowalchuk or Kelly Miller.

Or Kolzig.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Anyone else remember that Johansson-Ovechkin 2-0 breakaway from a couple years ago? This is just him doing more of the same.

Was at that game, it was against Edmonton. Think the Caps won it something like 6-0. Had high hopes back then about MOJO.

 

[apollo71426]

You guys more worried about Ovi getting 50 goals than us winning games is why this fan-base is a perfect fit for this organization (and also why we'll never win anything in the foreseeable future).
