[Dream Big]

oh hey, nice pass by Carlson to Ovie for the one-timer

Yes it was! Carlson rocks.

How in the world did they win that game? I left after the Leafs made it 4-2 in the second period.

Leafs still have the core that was last in the NHL last season

Russians.

Russians.

Maple Leafs

 

[Roughing]

BOLD move by Kadri to leave Ovechkin out on an island like that. Usually wanna defend one of the greatest goal scorers of all time

He wanted to see how it worked out.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Caps gon' win on Thursday.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Grubi didn't even start on German night but he swoops in on Canadian night and wins it? #revengetastessweetdontit


Good call on pulling Holtby. His fault or not it worked out in the end.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Also, I thought Carrick sucked eggs. Rooting for the guy, though.

Maybe pulling the goalie with a big mouth woke up the goal scoring. Or just playing the leafs did it

 

[CapsJunkie]

haha leafs blew another lead...caps

I thought he looked good in the first honestly, didn't pay close attention after. Definitely a legit NHL'ER when he was doubted by many as such.

Now Holtby comes out with some motivation next game. Perfect.

Good little Kuzy interview:

What was said in between 2nd and 3rd period, you guys came out fired up?

Kuzy: we fix a few things, coaches come in and are positive, you can see fire in their eyes, guys are buzzing, Holts says "I want to see old Caps" we give him shoulder and I don't want talk about personal stuff, just team hockey.

Can you tell us what Justin Williams brings to the table?

He's so experienced, he says a few words before a shift or before the game and we just have to listen to him.

 

[g00n]

Williams and Holtby standing out more than once as locker room leaders.

"Old caps". Hmmm

 

[Corby78]

Some food for thought. The caps have scored 14 goals the last 3 games. And as the standing sit right now we are the 4th best team in the league. All 4 top teams are in the Metro.

It might be Trotz strategy to stay in the wildcard spot to avoid the tough metro

 

[Calicaps]

Look that Ovy gives Carlson, all business nodding. "**** these guys". Caps out!

Gif?

 

[Holtbyisms]

Maple Leafs

Heh, which "old Caps" do you think he was referring to? Last year's team? 2010? 1998? 1988?

 

[Hivemind]

1974, obviously

 

[Calicaps]

Ovechkin-Kadri -scrum was pretty hilarious. Looked like a man holding a boy back while he's trying to punch but just can't reach him.

That entire sequence was a joke. 8 gets crosschecked, then when he confronts him kadri takes a swing at him. Ovie never swings/punches/cross checks or anything and gets he gets the extra. Not even mentioning the third man is was a leaf. It's like the refs thinks all caps are Wilson

 

[ovikovy817]

So it's just like most nights here?

We can complain, they can't. That's the difference.
That concerns me a little bit right now, the bad and very bad officiating against us literally every single game.
I know players, staff, management cannot say this in the media, but I don't want a bad officiating against us to become a routine thing and going with this in the postseason.

The only game the refs "helped" us so far, it was against the Canucks at home. 1/37.

PS: You can already prepair your self for a bad officiating against CBJ, because they need to tie the record.

_______

I think I have a new superstition. Watch live the 1st period and then go to bed, it worked well the last 2 games

Ovi ties Jagr's record

Kuzya with a 4 point night

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Was at the game last night. Enjoyable to say the least.

When it went to OT, I thought the 3 v 3 would favor the Leafs with their speed. Then I was surprised that Trotz starts Beagle/Kuznetsov/Carlson for the OT, where usually he starts with 2 dmen for OT. Thought Carlson had looked slow all night so I thought that this may end quickly. Beagle took the face off and won it sending it back in to the Caps zone where Carlson collected it. Beagle immediately rushed to the bench (shades of Boudreau and David Steckel) and Ovechkin came on the ice and we know the rest.

Other observations, Kadri is a POS, real dirty player but it seems he doesn't get caught by the referees as they were ignoring a lot of his antics last night, also Matt Martin is just a goon.
