This will be worse than St. Louis. Tampa is one hell of a team.

 

[g00n]

apparently the secret to winning hockey games is my own snarky indifference. So I will be contributing that much at least. Or something. Whatever

 

[tycoonheart]

Yea, but for whatever reason we've always played them well. On the flip side we have sucked donkey **** against the west.

Probably going to be a close one just because.

5-2 Caps.

 

[BrooklynCapsFan]

5-2 Caps.

That's your irrational Yzerman hate talking

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

That's your irrational Yzerman hate talking

You seem to have misspelled "God".

 

[BrooklynCapsFan]

Also, in case any of you haven't read about it, Tampa Bay sports teams use/very recently stopped using slave labor and the Lightning honored the POS who organizes this scam:

[notDkristich]

Caps lose 3-4 in OT shootout.

+ OV with 2, Ward with 1

-- Alzner will awkwardly play puck with skate against wall leading to GA
+ Wilson will truck 3 different players
-- Brower will be most useless 5on5 forward on ice, and hit people when it doesn't matter most
+ Orpik ends someones career with huge open ice hit

Reframe this in a way I can blame Yzerman, please.

 

[Langway]

Possession vs. pozzzezzzion.

 

[Burakovsky95*]

Gonna need Holtby to be Vezina-Holtby again

 

[KevinM]

Gonna need Holtby to be Vezina-Holtby again

It'll be fun to watch Stammer, TyJo, Flipper, and co. snipe on him and have the thread explode with "HOLEBY!"

|52 Mike Green|

Is Green really playing?

 

[Burakovsky95*]

Is Green really playing?

No, didn't even make the trip

 

[The Deadly Pook Gas]

Is Green really playing?

Crap my bad. I was copying from an old gdt. I guess I missed that.

 

[ChibiPooky]

Current lineups:

8-19-43, 90-92-20, 21-16-42, 25-46-83, same D, Holtby

Killorn-Stamkos-Callahan, Palat-Johnson-Kucherov, Paquette-Filppula-Connolly, Brown-Boyle-Morrow, Bishop, don't know D. Drouin took morning skate on 4th line but looks like J.T. Brown will replace him. Apparently Yzerman is intent on ruining Drouin's development

Oh my Christ. Didn't need another reason to hate this team, but there it is.

Yep, Holtby is just elite, stop bashing him. Snipers making perfect shots like the best sniper there has ever been, John Scott, is always the defenses fault.

Every time Holtby has a good game statistically, its always his own doing.
Every time Holtby has a bad game statistically, its always the defenses fault.

Yeah well.. that works both ways, he gets blamed for goals he had no chance on as well.

Just sayin'.


Japers' Rink @JapersRink
Per @hockey_ref (@robvollmanNHL), Holtby has given #Caps a quality start 65% of the time this year. Peters 1-for-6. http://t.co/aNpCYrTCDQ

 

[foundhockey]

Just win. It would be nice to win against Tampa in particular.

Lol the John Scott shot was very well placed and he was wide open, even bad players make nice shots occasionally it's hilarious you think that particular goal is a knock against the guy.

You're making some ridiculous strawman here, Holtby started the season shaky and everyone admitted that. His play has since elevated but people lay disproportionate blame on the guy. When goals are scored it is usually a combination of defensive and goaltender liability, every goal against is not evidence that Holtby can't get it done. Goaltenders like every other player on the ice don't have consistency; the other team is paid to score too.

[um]

I never know what to expect from this team, hard to tell what those metro games really mean.
