Post-Game Talk: Connor McBowl 9:07 pm

[895]

Their Connor Mc is pointless in 3 straight games and can't even outscore our defenseman who sucks according to this new JTR stat.

Our Connor Mc is 2pts/game in the O.

Just saying

And I heard Draisaitl was better than Ovechkin and Matthews too

 

[Oilers in NS]

Carlson is on fire . The new Bobby Orr.

Hoping for NATS to win it all. I was an Expos fan all my life but fans didn’t support at end and bad management made it impossible to keep. Doing well in DC. If they pull this off, how does this compare to Stanley Cup win for Caps?

As for tonight in Edmonton? We have not been scoring. After McDavid and Drai, it pretty much dries up. Neal is scoring but how long? Our bottom 6 is terrible. Chiarelli has made this team a complete mess.

The Capitals are great at ending scoring slumps and allowing first goals. Should be a fun one.

Who's in net?

Love the thread title and OP.

There was a debate between who is better, Draisatl or Matthews?

Why bother? Seems obvious.

yea it sure is... I have no idea what the consensus is.

It’s been a long time since I expected a challenge from the oilers. Hoping for an entertaining game

I'm hoping for a Caps win in a 7-2 blowout.

 

[ujju2]

My two favourite teams. Gonna be cheering for the Oilers in this one (we need it more), but good luck!

 

[Raikkonen]

Time to let Sammy go

U guys have lots of fire power. Im a big OV fan. He is great for the game.

 

[Roshi]

Which Caps we see today? Sleepy start or soft finish?

after 11 games of frustfration i rub my eyes when checking that we are actually 7-2-2

McDavid vs Carlson, battle for the Norris.

[AtNightWeFly]

So Holtby again. Hmm interesting.

 

[895]

I guess playing Samsonov on the last game of 3 in 4 to keep the boys alert?

Matthews is great but Draisatl is ridiculously good. Tier above right now, IMO.

 

[um]

I agree. But I remember Matthews would always get put in on top 10 list for some reason while Draisaitl is forgotten. Leafs and #1 overall factor I guess.

 

[Calicaps]

Wilson definitely hurting. No bueno.

 

[txpd]

So Holtby again. Hmm interesting.

Interesting in what way? He is the #1 goalie. Sammy is the 2g.

Saving the stronger goalie for the tougher assignment.

 

[ujju2]

Saving the stronger goalie for the tougher assignment.

So we're the tougher assignment and Holtby is the stronger goalie... agreed.

It always confused me how quick Caps fans are to turn on Holtbeast. Did the Cup run teach us nothing? Holtby is always the real #1, even if he's not playing like it in the regular season.

 

[StrikingDistance]

Deep thoughts:

• The Houston Oilers haven't scored a touchdown in 2 games (they might be due). Has Neal's toxic personality already destroyed their locker room? Do you think he threatens team mates with wedgies?
• Both teams have similar records, but the Oilers have had an easier schedule. Will the Caps play down to a team with a better record?
• If sleepyCaps show up tonight, it could get ugly very early. Will it wreck whatever confidence Holtby has built the past 2 games?
• If I start drinking now, will I be awake for the game? And if I'm awake for the game, will I know what hockey is?

 

[Corby78]

Not saying I want Sammy to be the #1, but I do want him to get a decent amount of backup time. Needs to get some starts from time to time.
