Post-Game Talk: CAPS @ Meow's 7:30 PM

[Alexander the Gr8]

Kuznetsov costs us 2 goals

He's been careless with the puck, but he's a young player and young players make mistakes all the time. Well, I hope they put up a great performance in TB.

 

[Calicaps]

Too busy looking forward to hanging out with their dads. No focus.

yeah, hope it will be great lesson for him.

they looked like they've already hanged out with dads and the party was success

Probably the worst defensive game I've seen the team play. Typically they have defense on lock down. Even when they look out of sorts on O, defense holds up. Total team loss tonight. Yuck.

 

[Dream Big]

Which goal was his fault? Come on, the team didn't even get up for this one.

My opinion? The first one could have been played better. He was too far left then going down almost on his knees reaching far right on the top of his crease.

The first shot on net going in is not confidence inspiring.

No matter. Let Florida Panther win one. From the looks of their sparse crowd they need any help they can get.

 

[Bladerunner]

Trailing the entire game they put up all of 20 SOG.

Hmm, have to go back to early SJ game (and they were w/o 8 & 19 for that one) to find a comparable effort.

Caps still have multiple GIH on Habs, Rags.

 

[Dream Big]

Boy did I pick the wrong game to bet on .

Let me tell you about betting on games. Don't

 

[Dream Big]

1 more and Mojo will have his hat trick 3 open nets missed

They showed Montoya getting his toe on that Mojo shot. Otherwise it would have been in.

Yep. Can't disagree with any of this.

He was going to waffle board that puck away until it was tipped less then a foot in front of him.

The Wilson hit looks not as bad after a couple replays. Campbell makes absolutely no effort to protect himself. He knows someone is coming at him and he still keeps his ass out and head pointing towards the boards and never attempts to get his arms up to absorb any part of the hit in the boards. I wouldn't say he put himself in a vulnerable position but he made no efforts to help himself out. Wilson didn't get the numbers and didn't charge in any manner. At worst he gets a minor if there is no blood. What is the real joke is Campbell is allowed back on the ice with little to no time missed. You're head just hit the boards, you're bleeding, and you had issues moving initial. How are you not pulled out for a concussion check?

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

A night to forget. I hope no one presses the panic button after that though. The other top teams have all had a few games like that, it was bound to happen. Let's move on and look ahead for the game vs TB.

I'll second that. It started out goofy with that 15 minute or whatever delayed start. Next.

The desperation part seems a bit odd/off but yep!

 

[Calicaps]

Yeah, no need to freak out.

After their first win streak of the year, they bounced from W to L to W to L for a few games before they got back on a real tear.

Hoping it takes less time to start a new streak here. That would be a good sign.

 

[4thTierSport]

Hell, main boards are "proving" my point even further on the Wilson hit with nothing there after about a hour. lol Of course that means he'll end up with like a 20 game suspension.

It's because Florida, but yeah, I felt like he hit Campbell in back of the shoulder. Not in the numbers at all.

You must never listen to Doc Emrick

Nice job knifing in the Doc reference!

We should both stop while we're ahead

Exactly what I was thinking, especially when Joe B and Locker mentioned the dinner cruise.

 

[Capitals40]

Time to get back to basics

 

[Calicaps]

Where is our young player development under Trotz...yes Kuzy but he was considered the best young player not in the NHL...where is the rest? Bura having a seat tonight is total failure...they need to trade him?...whether or not Trotz is at fault Bura's confidence has to be zero. Galiev plays every 8th game or so like a token....note these are skilled players yet Wilson, Laich etc are propped up and are a zero threat scoring....2 goals a game in the playoffs written all over this again.

Nate Schmidt says hi.

 

[Capitals40]

Nate Schmidt says hi.

Yes except last season he sat him then sent him down to Hershey and he had shoulder injury...he was actually playing pretty damn good when he sat him.
