Post-Game Talk: Capitals @ Maple leafs HNIC 7pm

Best I’ve seen Ovi play in ages

one of the best games of the season for the caps imo, on a back to back, 2 early goals against in the third but dug deep and fought hard

Fire Trotz!!

Took him a whole month to realize his lines weren't working.

 

[Calicaps]

That's the kind of effort I expect from the captain and leader of this team. He doesn't have to score a hat trick or even a goal every night, but he has to battle for the puck like he did tonight in every single game.

Except when he brings that kind of effort to bear on his absurd talent, hattricks and other unreal shit naturally ensue.

Pretty awesome moment seeing the kids reaction with his dad to OV's third. Appreciate CBC closely following that story all night.

Was just coming to post this. Great job by CBC. Did you watch him read the lineup, I got chills. CBC is covering it in the post game as I type this. f*** Don Cherry who, in typical Ovechkin hater fashion, had to shut his pie hole.

But lastly, great job by Alex the Great, who like the kid Babe Ruth hit the homer for, comes through like a hero.

Ha, Ovie told the boy before the game he would score and the Caps would win!

Best I've seen him play since game one and two of THIS season.

You can't take Alex on the road. He has to go to school on Monday.

Don Cherry praised Ovechkin. You know Ovi is playing well when even Don Cherry is forced to admit that he's playing well.

I watched the whole segment, the only thing he said was "I bet Ovie promised the kid a goal", Ron did all the talking.

He said Ovi's first goal was nice.

Cherry has been ripping on Ovechkin and all Russians for 30 years, I will never give him any props, even if I didn't hear him correctly.

They are good. Yard stick pair of games. Won them both strong. Ov and Backy are not over the hill. Its not the most likely outcome but this team could end up with the best record in the east

 

[Sam Spade]

Raise your hand if you thought the Caps would win these back to back games in regulation?

 

[hockeykicker]

Now caps don't play again until Thursday so they have time to rest before playing the next 6 of 7 games at home

Lol but seriously once they got through Tampa it was almost clear they would just off the fact that they beat the bolts and they had holtby in the second game, team was super confident

I thought they would get at least point against the Bolts, they always play them well, and then get run out of the building against the Buds.

Leafs just aren't very good though. They get so much hype but their healthy team is 2 points ahead of our injured and inconsistent team
