Post-Game Talk: Cup Champions vs. The McJesus’ Team

[philip]

There we see difference in Ovy/Wilson hitting. Ovy lining up a huge hit behind the net, realises puck will be long gone by time he gets there and pulls out of the hit altogether. I hope Wilson comes back with that kind of restraint

It's interesting to see two different styles of hockey. We are a such passing team, usually puck has been passed more than five times before a shot on the goal. Oilers bring the puck without passing to our zone and then the try to shoot immediately or less than in three passes.

Nice shoutout to Chiasson!

This PP is trash.

 

[troyerlaw]

Underwhelming PP work from 19 and 92 there. Neither sharp nor urgent.

Not often that 8 is the one bailing us out and preventing SHGs. But he did it a couple times there

 

[troyerlaw]

I'm surprised Vrana get's sent to the 4th line when the whole line wasn't clicking with him up top.

He’s working wonders on 4th line.

Turns out his linemates were the problem, LOL

Bunch of lazy russians on that line

 

[troyerlaw]

They had to get McDork a goal/point. He's the new 87.

The other guaranteed scorer tonite is Chiaisson

this is a witch hunt.

There was just implication that Reirden didn't like something Vrana was doing, hence the demotion. I'm not sure he's played anywhere deserving of not being on the top 2 lines this year. I'd much rather bump Stephenson down and reunite 13 - 19 - 77. Though I'd be more interested in a 13 - 92 - 77 line right now.

When does Oshie get a try on the 1st line? They tried everybody else there.

 

[TRASHCAT]

Jesus take a joke

 

[Devil Dancer]

That Chiasson shout out was pretty minimal.

Still mad about that non penalty penalty. Changes the momentum when the Caps were rolling.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Boyd was killing penalties Saturday night in Hershey for those wondering. I’ve never seen him in a defensive role or PK duty that I can remember

Nice that the organization can prep him in the minors for this role.

Oil seem to be playing much more physically than the Caps. And they're in the first of a b2b.

 

[philip]

1st line Jaskin experiment could be filed away I think

I will admit that "lazy russian" jokes were much more fun when we had semin going "/afk till puck" out there.

 

[Raikkonen]

I think Copley will be fine. Once skaters will get their shit together. He's calm and doing most of the work he should be able to do.

I'd give him more than half a game there. He seems slow to get comfortable, but once he does it works. Plus you cannot split up this new insane 4th line

 

[Empty Goal Net]

I think Copley will be fine. Once skaters will get their **** together. He's calm and doing most of the work he should be able to do.

Caps' d-zone coverage still hasn't jelled. It's not just one or two players. Once the skaters get their act together, it'll be easier to judge Copper.

Nice finish by Osh.

 

[twabby]

Great goal
