Where's Wardo? found him!!!!

 

[CapsJunkie]

Has Holtby been scored on in the preseason yet?

 

[Burakovsky95*]

Burakovsky needs to stay

 

[stanleycaps18]

Where's Wardo? found him!!!!

Save that line for when they are wearing the right jerseys on New Years Day!

 

[artilector]

Ahaha, and here's our ES offense, courtesy of none other than Ward.

And nice play by Bura.

 

[Raikkonen]

Like Orpik's play more than Niskanen's.

Niskanen is making fast decision. Not all of which are right ones.

Keeping the zone, preparing his shots fast.

 

[BackToTheBasics]

Trotz puts out Laich, Backstrom and Fehr. I guess Ovi won't get any EN goals this year. Trotz doesn't even trust him in a meaningless pre-season game.

 

[Koized]

Orpik played a very solid game.

 

[CapsJunkie]

I agree...make room for Bura!!!!

 

[CapsJunkie]

doesn't look invisible or out of place...always doing something out there

Not Fehr, Ward.

Niskanen is actually making slow decisions which is slowing down our breakouts and making it easy to pick the puck off the Caps players sticks.

In his own zone? Maybe. But I think he's better/faster and their zone.

Wideman-like actually sounds good.

Feels like Ovi will have his second lowest scoring season this year.

Slow down there. It's only pre-season.

Capitals Fenwick for: 57%
Corsi for: 53%

Nothing good about this game right? Not like its their 5th game in a row winning the possession.

 

[txpd]

His head being down has nothing to do with it.

He had every opportunity to hit him legally and he instead nailed him right in the head.

oh come on. if he is skating with his head down, you are allowed to use brass knuckles on him. I mean unless the guy skating with his head down is a hab/crab

 

[txpd]

Trotz puts out Laich,.

I was reading the thread earlier. I thought Laich was already on IR. you mean he is still alive?

We need 60% corsi. Bad game.

Did we even do that once last year?

 

[BackToTheBasics]

Sadly, or maybe not for some, he's okay. I'm pretty sure he's just going to lie about his health. He looked slower when he came back after he got hit. He also got frustrated and slammed the caps bench door after the hit, that had to mean he re-injured it.

Not in the preseason....

 

[bobbyt911]

Not in the preseason....

who got hurt in this game? I saw a hit by Tinordi looked on the dirty side

 

[Langway]

Hard to see Burakovsky not making this team. Yeah, it's just the preseason and certainly Subban tries harder when the games matter but picking his pocket and centering it out to Ward is pretty impressive. It's the sort of thing that gets highlighted in video sessions and he does quite a bit already that can be featured in that setting. Certainly he seems further along in terms of comfort compared to Kuznetsov.
