Post-Game Talk: Could have sworn it was hockey season - Knights at Cup Champs

[895]

Nah. Sneaky

Watched the replay again on the reverse angle. You're right. He already finished pushing across and then stuck his toe out a bit more.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

That was some hustle by Stephenson.

 

[Midnight Judges]

OK wtf was Vegas doing? They loose control of the puck then go for a line change while pulling the goalie. They gave the Caps a freebie.

yeah that was bizarre

 

[Calicaps]

That’ll work.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

The offense continues to be lethal. Burakovsky has to be better and our communication when they have the puck behind our net needs to improve too. But can't complain with this start. More than anything this team is super fun to watch again, which wasn't always the case under Trotz.

 

[Corby78]

Good win boys.

Disturbing trend from Washington:

Game 1: 7 goals
Game 2: 6 goals
Game 3: 5 goals
...
Game 82: -74 goals?

lol did Backstrom just said Kuzy his favorite player?

 

[Corby78]

I’m going to be honest I don’t like our offensive trend. 7, 6, 5.... were going in the wrong direction

 

[artilector]

Fun game to watch.

There's some cause for concern, though -- the offense seems to be drying up with fewer goals in every game, heh. Get it in gear, Caps!

 

[txpd]

I like our team.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Wouldn't surprise me. As a hockey player he is my favorite player the Caps have ever had because he makes things that are so hard look so easy.

 

[Bananas]

Have we psychologically destroyed Las Vegas?

 

[Midnight Judges]

Caps are going about their business.

 

[artilector]

[tycoonheart]

So Kuzya is gonna be in the Art Ross race and Ovi is scoring 50.

 

[peterthegreat12]

Clean up their own zone and they should be good to go. Win is a win though, I’ll take it.

 

[shtorm2005]

I think the game wasn't pretty fast and, hopefully, boys will have energy left for tomorrow.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Major shoutout to Kuznetsov for having his big slump during his contract year. Really unselfish move to intentionally lower his AAV for the team down the road. Huge.

Our most wholly owned team still has to be Boston but the Knights are a close second.

We still need to tighten up defensively. I actually thought Vegas slightly outplayed us. Vegas couldn't compete will our skill.

Backstrom did say Kuzy was his favorite player to watch. He has some sick skills. I think he is the most skilled player in the league. And people on the main boards think he is barely a top 20 center.

 

[SpinningEdge]

Friendly reminder that I love this team so, so much
