plz no shootout bruh

 

[usiel]

Have the depressing feeling the caps are going to lay an egg today.

Burakovsky on the top line. Sounds like a feast or famine type situation. IMO the top line needs a good possession type player and Bura ain't it. Teams are just going to take it to the boards and win that way.

Think Ovi and Nicky have done a great job with possession on the top line recently. Ovi's board game has improved exponentially. Barry's done a great job with him there. What it needs is a finisher and someone with a bit of vision, and I hope Bura can be one.

 

[BrooklynCapsFan]

Please tell me this is the last Panthers game of the season.

Look for Beagle and Bura to swap if nothing gets going in the first....

But it starts at 8pm my time so I can actually watch it for once! Please don't be boring.

Pls Florida.

Pls.

Poor guy, I hope you like clogged neutral zones and the dump and chase game...

It does have that feel of a trap game.

 

[g00n]

I'm surprised anyone feels anything other than the dread of impending boredom. Probably an ugly game with at most 4 or 5 goals between the two teams, if we're lucky.

 

[PuckBuddy]

Yeah, total trap game. I'm going to start filing my taxes and leave it on in the background.

Maybe Bura's on the first line because he might bring some hunger to a group of guys who have been more than content to rest on even the most modest laurels.

Go Caps.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Florida is god awful to watch. Mind numbingly boring. They're effective at what they do, but painful to watch. Hoping to get 2 points.

This.

Burakovsky is tied with Green at 2nd best CF% on the team.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Would have rather seen Burakovsky between 90/20 and Kuznetsov on the top line as I think Burakovsky showed a lot more chemistry with that pair earlier this year than Kuznetsov has, but hopefully this is a step in the right direction.

Also, Latta should be a regular now. No more scratching.

 

[PuckBuddy]

Did OV's Gillette contract expire?

 

[BackToTheBasics]

Did OV's Gillette contract expire?

I hope so. We need scruffy Ovi back.

 

[g00n]

Going from the WC to this matchup is probably one of the biggest letdowns you're going to see in hockey. I hope there's some punching and scoring.

 

[foundhockey]

plz no shootout bruh

Ha, you said it!

I hope Bura can hang out on the 1st line comfortably. If not, I want Wilson back up.

I'm hoping for a not boring game. The high scoring games yesterday made me jealous.

Well... I think Bura is likely a better fit on top line than Kuz -- because of better quickness & puck retrieval -- Ovi and Nick need it.

 

[foundhockey]

I hope so. We need scruffy Ovi back.

Absolutely.

 

[LifetimeUFA]

aaaaaand im already sleepy

Thought Brouwer was going to pull it out the bag and sink a SH wraparound, had Loungo hook line and sinker
