Post-Game Talk: Caps @ Hall-less Debbies

Discooooo!

Who?

 

[Hinterland]

Cause he didn't want to get his ass kicked?

Then why even accept the fight in the first place? Trying to act tough? Ridiculous...

 

[troyerlaw]

Panik. I’m only slightly less surprised than if Hags had potted one. If panik gets another one soon, hurry up and unload him. Retain some salary if necessary. Several players I would much rather see in the lineup - Boyd, Malenstyn, whoever. (I realize Boyd is a center, but still)

I think we can agree Samsonov needs to work on his rebounds but man are his reflexes insane.

One of the biggest growth areas I think Samsonov needs to work on is reading the forecheck when playing the puck. He often doesn't seem to realize how quick and aggressive the forecheck is at the NHL level, and leaves the puck in a position where his own D can be challenged by the forechecker.

Jensen better focus on finally becoming a better defender...him trying to fight goons isn't gonna help anybody...

At least he had the balls to accept the challenge. The "fight" itself was just him getting thrown to the ice but it takes guts to step up. There are plenty of players who won't.

Maybe your boy Svechnikov should have taken your advice.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Ridiculous...

Yes it was. He makes Semin and his bongo drums look like Tank Abbott.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Panic at the Disco!

Really? Woof

 

[Hivemind]

Devils broadcaster just called Backstrom a likely Hall of Famer. Weird to start thinking of our players that way.


And what a glorious recovery by Samsonov there

Doesn't help anybody. He better finally step up his defense...been waiting for that ever since he entered the league and it still hasn't happened.

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

Poor Sammy, what a collapse.

 

[Pomee]

Gudas dude!
Great Game tonight!

Yes - everybody in here is all too familiar with you and your disappointment with Jensen. We get to hear about it......every.........single...........game
The good news is nobody cares! And the team won 6-3 so it doesn't matter

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

Is Backstrom back?

 

[Corby78]

Is Backstrom back?

yes imo

 

[Hinterland]

The Caps better care when they have a defenseman making 2,5 millions playing AHL hockey (at best).

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Nice win!

Congrats to Bäckström on his 900th point.

 

[Sam Spade]

First and third lines were fantastic tonight. Combined 35 to 11 shot attempts.

Carlson by himself was 23 to 5.

Orlov led the team in ice time at 21:31.

 

[Calicaps]

Poor Sammy, what a collapse.

Huh?

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

Huh?

Gudas left him out to dry on that last goal, lowered his sv%.

 

[Sam Spade]

Gudas left him out to dry on that last goal, lowered his sv%.

That was the first thing I thought of when the goal went in.

 

[Calicaps]

Gudas left him out to dry on that last goal, lowered his sv%.

I got a phone call and didn’t even realize the Devils scored.

 

[JayBeagleFanAccount]

I have officially given up thinking that Kuznetsov will ever return to his old self.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Maybe this is his norm....
