Post-Game Talk: Caps Devils 7pm

[CapitalsCupReality]

I guess its ok as long as we still win after they tie it up. But I'm just not as adventurous as I used to be lol

ill take a 3 goal lead heading into the 3rd every night and Sunday...

I dont think so. I think they got the message and came back extra focused. This is actually second time this season jake has responded very quickly after a benching

Hope you’re right. I’m sure Lavi detests the coasting spells. But it’s a bit ingrained in some of these guys

Wow... OV played 23.47 tonight. -1, 4 shots.

Isles beat boston 2-1 in shootout. Flyers beat Sabres.

Kind of crazy how tight the East is. In just a few days, Pittsburgh is in 3rd, Boston is in 4th, and Philly is outside looking in at 5th.

Accountability and motivation....Two aspects that are incredibly important in coaching and leadership to me. Lavi impressed the hell out of me. No country club bullshit, dogging it, and/or lazy changes. He knows how to push the right buttons.

Considering his resume, Lavi is a proven commodity as far as I'm concerned. Any disappointment with the performance or how far this team goes over the next few seasons are to be blamed on the players and/or roster construction IMHO.

Message sent: Kuzy and Vrana benched for most of the third. Come out on their first shift in OT and produce the GWG. Bravo, Lavi.

The best thing to me is that Vrana and Kuz had scored earlier but Lavi is enforcing accountability for performance over the full 60.

Seems like he had 15 attempts

One day we will get a full 60 minutes... one day

I hate the post-game newbies. The guy, especially, is unwatchable.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Caps have some games ahead against NYR and the NJD left. The speed and youth are going to be worrisome. Caps need to pace themselves and not get worn out.

benched....

The hell you say. Kuzy benched? Another failed eye test

None of the newbies know shit about hockey and it’s unfortunate.

Ashooh has been around for years at this point, but I don't recall him ever talking about the Caps before this season. No clue why NBCSW put him in this role.

He was probably cheap

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Thought they couldn’t have played much better than they did through two and then they looked like they were ripping bong hits before the third. What a weird team, but I like them a lot. We like our team.

You get what you pay for.

I'm cheap!

If they play a double-header, yes

Hopefully that's in the deciding game of this season's Stanley Cup!

Both sides of the extremely boring Kuznetsov debate gained ammunition tonight so this place is going to be insufferable for another few days

Sports channels are getting killed in the COVID era. Comcast is trying to stretch its buck. That guy knows zip about hockey. MASN has tossed real quality out the door from the Nats pre and post game. She is available

I saw Lavy the other day say that a full 60 is unrealistic. The other team is full of professionals that get paid too.

I thought he played decent until right before he was benched....we still haven’t seen a complete game from him yet, but he’s making some impact offensively at times now which should be encouraging.

ive always viewed that term as less literal, more a term for a complete effort.

Maybe so. Kuzy put up 2 points. Good. He didnt play much again and you have to ask what is Laviolette's problem with him? My guess is attention to defensive detail. You would have to guess he is being coached to do certain things that he is not doing as instructed
