Post-Game Talk: Caps @ Pens 8pm NBCSN

[Dr John Carlson]

I wanted Chimera back for next season, but man...

Fast-tracking Vrana may be their best option.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Game, set,match. Series over.

nice. ciao til next year, right?

 

[PuckBuddy]

Maybe the playoffs slogan should have been more explicit: "Flip the switch. Before the game. Then keep the switch in the 'on' position after it has been flipped throughout the duration of the game."

 

[Koized]

Great game by the Caps. Nothing to be ashamed of. Letang will likely get two games and the Caps will win the next 2.

Doesn't matter, they don't have the cap space for Chimera.

 

[Corby78]

ok fine. Caps were the better team all game long. same story as in DC: better team lost the first game. will win the second game.

How is Ovie not a star?

He wasn't wearing black

 

[ViD]

Ovie has shown he's a true leader that last period

Also, a very solid game by Orlov. he was on the ice A LOT in the third

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

"Elvis has just left the building." Does the PA guy always say that, or does he save it for special occasions (like game 3 of the conference semis)? Is there any meaning to that?

He didn't say Elvis. He said "Alex".

They doubled the Penguins in shots and then some, they won 51% of faceoffs, and they doubled the Penguins in hits and then some but the Caps are doomed. Only on HF

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Yeah. Thankfully.

 

[RandyHolt]

Cranking up the dimmer late, saving energy seems a priority to us.

The story now becomes LeTang. Barry and Brian should be texting BMac.

The look in his eyes and the curse mutterings is a warning next game.

Murray is the new Halak

 

[Capsman]

Too little too late. Trotz needs to go this offseason. There, I said it. Lousy preparation, and I mean for months now. Terrible read on the game in terms of knowing when to change up the lines. Man is much too patient and leaves much too much to chance. He does one thing well, and that is coach defensive positioning. Works well for a team lacking talent up front, will keep them competitive. It will bring a cup contender down.

None of that means anything. We lost.

 

[madinsomniac]

You guys outplayed us today....

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Murray is the new Halak

Or the new Neuvirth. Or the new Lundqvist.

I see a trend.

 

[Nice]

Chimera is where offense goes to die. It has always been that way.

 

[hb12xchamps]

None of that means anything. We lost.

The Penguins lost game 1 and many thought they outplayed the Caps. This series is far from over.

 

[RandyHolt]

Hope Letang is suspended for 2. Get us back in the series

A hair over .6 seconds, MJ seemingly uninjured, Pitt the darling of the league, I am thinking we are lucky for 1 game.

The only thing going for us is pressure to do something after the Orpik suspension on a similar play. And of course, Barry's comments about favoritism.

I see this as a momentum shift in favor of the Caps.

sarcasm? you can't be serious lol

Game 1 was kinda even.

Meh. Murray really saw most of the shots. This was game 5 vs philly all over again. A team throwing pucks at net with no purpose. It means nothing.

 

[illpucks]

We really miss Ward.
