Did hagelin and Jensen play almost that entire PK?

Adding to the story on the fly.

 

[Neil Racki]

Alright we took a pretty good shot there and hung on.

hopefully we can tilt the ice a bit ...

 

[Neil Racki]

It just seems like they have 3 guys deep on the forecheck ... why does this look so familiar?

Kuzy just broke his stick over Eberle's back.. did something happen?

Eberle was holding his stick just before that trying to draw a hold/hook and the ref warned kuz I think ... he wasn’t happy

I was surprised ref didnt call the cross check. Feels like an almost automatic call, with stick breaking like that

 

[troyerlaw]

Fortunate to be tied after that period

Nice turnover Carlson

Refs let them go a bit there which was nice.

I thought maybe the stick was broken before then ... nice to see some emotion from kizy honestly

Ovi's fault tbh.

Yeah even after the play moved to the neutral zone Kuzy was still talking to Eberle out of play. Needs to keep his cool, we need him tonight.

 

[Raikkonen]

This looks like a hockey game.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Our passing has to be sharper because we don’t have the legs to be chasing pucks after a turnover

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Expected safe play by the Caps in the first after a game last night. Players seemed to be in the right place at each time.

This looks like the playoffs last year

good thing I took a pre game nap

The puck movement is off though. They couldn't string more than two passes together the whole period. As a result - zero real scoring chances.

 

[pman25]

We’re not losing!

 

[Neil Racki]

All I know is ... isles played a hell of a 1st period and they got zero to show for it

f*** you islanders and billy smith and Kelly rhudy or however you spell your weird ass last name

Cracking open a 3 Floyd’s zombie dust

At least it's looked better near the end of the period. The first half was like 2 passes, lose it in the offensive zone and then hold on for dear life lol.

They settled down some, but yeah need to sustain more pressure and hit actual sticks when we actually get in there.

 

[DrewGl]

Not watching but is everyone (both teams) being sportsmanlike?

 

[Corby78]

Didn’t like that first outside Sammy. Hope the second is better.

Yes everyone has been on their best behavior ... unfortunately
