Post-Game Talk: caps isles

[AtNightWeFly]

Eh, can't win 'em all.

Especially when you don't even try.

Tavares goal was especially fun because we had four guys below the dot and none were remotely useful or effective. Tavares had days and days to line that one up and pot it

Yup they all stood there and watched it.

 

[maacoshark]

I'm guessing Holtby will be starting again tomorrow.

 

[Sam Spade]

Especially when you don't even try.

Isles have only lost one home game, fewest in the league. Sometimes it just isn't your night.

 

[Calicaps]

Wake the f*** up.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

I hope Oshie comes back soon.

 

[maacoshark]

Especially when you don't even try.

I'm sure they are trying. They just look flat tonight.

 

[troyerlaw]

Down to rooting for an Ovie goal and/or Wilson running over Buttercup

 

[Langway]

I'm sure they are trying. They just look flat tonight.

Slow mostly. They can't get a root in the game because they haven't established their 'feel.' f*** feelings.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Lane Lambert is the only one that seems pissed. Everyone else is snoozing.

THere’s the old Beagle. Great job digging that puck out on PK and setting up Chiasson chance

Maybe Beagle finally realized he is in a contract year because he has been better the last few games.

 

[troyerlaw]

PK looking good

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Grubi should've started this game. He looks much sharper tonight.

 

[Calicaps]

PK looking good

Agreed. Bright spot in an otherwise shitty performance.

 

[maacoshark]

Grubi should've started this game. He looks much sharper tonight.

Goaltending isn't the big problem tonight.

 

[Calicaps]

Ice looks terrible. Pucks bouncing every which way.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Goaltending isn't the big problem tonight.

I know! Grubi still looks better than Holtby though.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

What can go wrong with a Saturday and Sunday off? Team should be down more than 3-0, so I'll take it.

 

[Bladerunner]

What's being said above. A pure meh + blah game.

Work on some personal stats, Grubi has a good 3rd pd, etc.

 

[maacoshark]

I know! Grubi still looks better than Holtby though.

Yes he does. Looked like Holtby was fighting the puck and giving up some big rebounds. I don't blame him on the goals. He could have made a better play on the first goal.

 

[troyerlaw]

Goaltending isn't the big problem tonight.

Agreed. Leaving isles uncovered right around the net more significant issue.

It’s a shame neither ovie nor chiasson could bury their chances out front. Both were nice set-ups

 

[maacoshark]

Not sure if anyone cares but the goal Wilson scored against the Rangers he was clocked at 25 mph which is the fastest by any Caps player this season. Didn't know they kept track of that stuff.

 

[maacoshark]

Stephenson made a nice pass to Kuzy. Too bad he couldn't finish it

 

[troyerlaw]

Good hustle by 13
