Post-Game Talk: Caps @ Ratless Bears (NBC pregame nonsense: 3pm)

[ovikovy817]

What a play by Kuzya

 

[GreatEight]

Rofl... Overturn that.

 

[EroCaps]

Williams thieving more goals.

 

[twabby]

What a god damn goal

 

[Devil Dancer]

Wow, that last goal. Kuzy what a read.

 

[tycoonheart]

Lmao. Harlem globe trotting em

 

[BackToTheBasics]

...

Yeah and it was a pretty obvious sales job. I just hope that kind of play doesn't get called off in the playoffs.

 

[Zoidberg Jesus]

Compare that play to the one a few weeks ago where Holtby had his stick interfered with, and the goal was upheld.

Reminded me of this one against the Stars. A Star gets pushed into the crease by Orpik, doesn't leave, blocks Holtby from getting to the puck, and the goal counts because he was pushed in.

I think Williams gave a little mock "check upstairs" hand gesture after that goal

lol

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Bruins being reminded that they're an inferior team.

Yep this is the exact situation I thought of too

 

[troyerlaw]

Nothing good happens when kuz on the ice lately

I stand corrected.

That was beautiful.

In fact, all 3 were beautiful. The two which counted and the one which didnt. Caps really responded to that Bruins goal

 

[Nice]

Passing has been on point

 

[txpd]

I hate game management officiating. The power play after they ignored the legwhip. then the goal they took away. Screw em

Yeah it's unreal. Who knows what they're thinking/seeing

 

[txpd]

Yeah it's unreal. Who knows what they're thinking/seeing

game management. Keep Boston in the game. It didn't work

 

[hockeykicker]

Well there's the secondary scoring everyone was looking for

 

[txpd]

Passing has been on point

Really nice puck retrieval by Johansson to start that play. He didn't a point but its good to see he is not dragging 92 down right now

There are several, now that I think about it. There was another that was ruled a good goal, also vs the Stars. January 21st, Grubauer knocked off balance and his leg buckled because of it, unable to recover. Another still that was more recent where Holtby's stick was messed with and the goal was allowed.

It has to be game management vs the top team. There's no way you can consistently lose these challenges when you were winning them earlier in the year.

The Bruins starting Rask in the 3rd is a clear sign. They want to avoid us at all costs.

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

**** it win. Let's get the bruins and sweep their ass

 

[ovikovy817]

Alzner a righty now??

 

[SimplySensational]

Lol @ them saying Backstrom being a 1st or 2nd team all star. McDavid + Crosby is what its going to be, probably not in that order.

Backstrom is just a victim of being a center, he's been the 3rd best center in the league multiple times.
