Post-Game Talk: Caps vs Sharts - 1030zzzz

[troyerlaw]

Feels like it's gonna be a patented Ovi 2 goal game. He's got his shooting twig today, also had another rocket that missed the net by 2 inches.

Good call

Damn. Back to back shutouts huh

This is crazy too because the Caps could have more SO than they already have with the goalies. VV was robbed of one or two earlier in the season. Great stuff!

Sammy trying to take that net! But once again, team dee was awesome!

 

[Firsov99]

Congrats to all! Back to back shutouts. Good night.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Before this road trip, I wouldn't have dreamed of back to back SO in both SJ and LA.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Sammy looking stronger the more action he gets. Didn't face a ton of shots but made the saves he needed to.

 

[txpd]

The Sharks broadcast must have said Samsonov was working on a shutout 10 times in the 3rd period.

Meanwhile Carlson has 14pts in the last 13 games

Tomorrow should be an interesting battle between Capital's Stanley Cup winner Philipp Grubauer and Seattle Kraken legend Vitek Vanecek.

 

[twabby]

Just imagine how good their record would be if they didn’t lose every OT game.

The team defence has been solid all season. That's why the Caps have 4 shutouts.
And btw Vanecek has exactly zero of those shutouts even though he has played in more games.

It's gonna be weird facing Grubauer. Did the Caps ever face him when he was playing for the Avs?

I hope Vanny gets his tribute video.

Getting 5 out of 6 points in California with depleted lineup surprised the hell out of me

Atleast once, the very first chance they had @ Colorado.

it was OT win 3-2. Ovie obviously scored on him as he had the rare chance to get a new goalie to beat

Edit; Checked it up, they also played him both times 19-20. Home 3-6 L, Away 3-2 W. So looks like we are scoring 3 on him everytime. It should be enough if the Dee plays like it has the last few games..

im expecting Ovie to score in Seattle. He likes new places and goalies to score.

Good question.I don't remember if Grubauer was in net against us or not.

It looks like Grubauer faced the Caps 3 times with the Avs. Winning one game and losing two. He gave up 3 goals in each of those games.

Still probably be behind Carolina at the end of the season. It's really no biggie.

 

[EHCler]

I really like what I am seeing this season. Very stable defensivly and and offense is working despite the injuries. Hope we can keep the level of play up.

 

[Monsterrain]

Man sammy was awesome. This is what his potential could be.

 

[HTFN]

Before this road trip, I wouldn't have dreamed of back to back SO in both SJ and LA.

Yeah I was trying to pick which game they'd drop, but the shutouts on top? ooooh

 

[troyerlaw]

Nice to see both CMM and Protas well above 50% on their faceoffs tonight

 

[kicksavedave]

Getting 5 out of 6 points in California with depleted lineup surprised the hell out of me

Giving up just 2 regulation time goals in 3 games is the most surprising part of it all.

 

[searle]

Very nice move from Hertl when he hit the iron there. May be my imagination but looked like he thought it was in, swear I could see him starting to form the words " @twabby that was for you bud, please get the caps to trade for me"

 

[Chukcha]

If Protas is going to be a regular someday, he's going to need a new number. 59 is atrocious.

Julien Brouillette says hi

idk what to think about sammy. two awesome performances in a row, but still - i can't trust him as a #1 option. i'd love to see at least 5-10 more decent starts from him. i don't care about shutouts, just solid starts with no stupid mistakes, softies, and as a bonus a few big saves (every single good #1 should make a huge save from time to time).
