Post-Game Talk: Caps and Devils tonight

[Corby78]

We have scored 4 goals, so throw out the corsi stats on this game. Only games with 3 or less can be used for playoff projections

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Wow smart play Orly.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Orlov and Kuzy are so creative

 

[SpinningEdge]

Ovi quietly could be around top 5 or 10 in points and maybe another Rocket? This all while it seems like he's coasting until playoffs. Good stuff

 

[SpinningEdge]

Boston now up 3-2 on Pitt

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Bruins now ahead 3-2.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Alzner-Orpik just doesn't work in our #system

The Pens aren't a particularly good road team. It's imperative that the Caps get home ice advantage.

Wait I thought they were our best defensive defensemen?

This. We need to finish first in the metro also to avoid a potential Pitt-CBJ 1st round matchup.

Well they defended well but they don't mesh well together in the sense that neither has the speed to skate the puck out of the zone

 

[Raikkonen]

That says a lot and is worth remembering. With Carlson out and Niskanen in the box the Caps used Alzner and Orpik for the first 1:30 of that Pk with two clean chances to change and chose not to.

At that point 88 and 4 came out.

This is nothing new. Everybody knows that (c)


PS: I laugh when I hear "trade Carlson while he's cheap"

I think CBJ or Rangers matchup well with Pitt. How great would that be?

 

[Corby78]

This. We need to finish first in the metro also to avoid a potential Pitt-CBJ 1st round matchup.

This, winning 8 games vs those two teams would be a tall order.

[TRASHCAT]

whomp whomp

 

[AtNightWeFly]

The Pens aren't a particularly good road team. It's imperative that the Caps get home ice advantage.

Translation: the officials don't help them as much on the road.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

That's a perfect tip, nothing we can do there

 

[Calicaps]

Meh. Great deflection by Henrique.

 

[Corby78]

Well that wasn't needed

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Translation: the officials don't help them as much on the road.

Pretty much.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

We're puck watching in our zone at even strength

 

[Valhuen]

Schneider looking sharp, Devs should have started him tonight.

 

[Capsman]

Puck watching and collapsing too much.

 

[SpinningEdge]

You know... for a team that has "sold out" hundreds of straight games - you see an awfully lot of single game caps ticket commercials and promos
