ECQF/MDSF: (M1) Washington Capitals vs (WC1) Carolina Hurricanes | Game 7 is Coming | Part 2

[NotOpie]

Noticed many Canes' fans called this boarding from last game gdt. It's not

Exactly, there are however, very good arguments for either charging or interference.

 

[Paxton Fettel]

Need to reunite Kuzy with Ovy. Ovy and Nick never worked and never will

 

[mikeyfan]

Caps fans sound like Bruins fans right now. Whine Whine,whine,

Was it unfortunate? Yes, Was it intentional? No, Was it a penalty with everything else that was being let go during the game, (both sides) No

 

[mikeyfan]

The initial call last night was 2 minutes for roughing, not boarding.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Yeah, you'd think so, right?

But what if... and just spitballing here... there's another pretty good team on the ice that also has a say?

It’s funny how people think about things. Everybody has been talking about how Tampa choked, not how Columbus beat them.

 

[maacoshark]

you know he won't get one. if oshie gets up it's not even a penalty. unlucky, nothing more.

Sorry but that is the worst hit in hockey. Because the player is in a vulnerable spot and he is hit from behind the hit doesnt have to be vicious for it to be dangerous.
He could have rode Oshie into the boards and everything would have been fine. Instead he chose to crosscheck him from behind. Very reckless and disrespectful play.
It shouldn't matter who hit who on a play like that. There is no way anyway should be condoning this hit or down playing it.

 

[moneyline]

People who say that Oshies injury was because of dirty hit or reckless or anything like that havent played hockey ever..
It was unfortunate but so Basic hockey that it hurts my eyes to read that there were a hit from behind.. We had more physical game as kids in school yard games.

Ovechkin, Wilson and Kuznetsov was what won the cup last year, I’m not sure what Reirden is thinking.

 

[Nsjohnson]

It's not that Carolina has a bad team. Caps have two key injuries now and I think they are more beatable than ever.

But I just think they know what it takes (again, not saying Carolina doesn't know) and they have a better team. But there is some sort of inspiration that isn't there. They look slow and tired.

And Carolina looks the exact opposite. Fast and extremely inspired.

My point is that if the Caps turn it 'on', I think Carolina will lose. That's not to say that Carolina doesn't deserve a lot of praise and also props for their talent and team play.

 

[Lawd Stanley]

The Canes player turned and braces for the hit. Oshie was hit from behind. That is how the hits are different. That said, the Oshie play wasn’t an egregious crosscheck and it was an unfortunate injury. A 2 min penalty? definitely. but No supplemental disciple or 5 min major.

Want to clarify that? Do you mean playoffs? Because I'm not sure there's been a better "Batman / Robin", 1-2 punch in the league over the last decade.

I mean it's also possible that the Canes style is making it so the Caps can't turn it on.

Experience and Ovi are what the Caps have over the Canes.
The Canes have a much stronger D core, faster and, at least in this series, better goaltending.

 

[Chris4Canes]

I feel bad for Oshie...As a Canes fan, he is the Caps player I have the most respect for. I wish him well in his recovery.
That being said...I feel heading into game 5 the Canes have all the momentum. I just hope players stop getting injured on both sides.

Dude we get it, the canes defense is shutting out the caps. It’s not something people are denying. The Caps have an offense that is super potent but the canes may shut them down completely, people are just giving their opinion. I’m definitely worried if Kuzy doesn’t get going or we don’t have any kind of secondary scoring. I’m not sleeping on the canes at all and definitely looking forward to the next couple of games.

 

[Capitals40]

yeah, pretty much.

kinda like how ovie goaded a nineteen year old into his first nhl fight. yes we're mad, yes ovie is an *******, but at the end of the day, that's hockey. get over it.

haha..if ur in the nhl then act like it..dont be a fool and try to embarrass ovie..he was stupid and paid the price simple as that..he also wanted the fight

Dude, don't waste your time. I've tried explaining this but they think everything is a slight to them.

One area Carolina is clearly superior is coaching. Rod has owned Reirden so far.

The next couple of games will really let us know what Reirden is made of or if letting Trotz go was a good idea, that’s a different debate though.

it was an intentional push with cross check..what dont u understand .. it was not accidental . and yes I have played lots of hockey..Oshie is in a totally vulnerable position and u know it.

 

[Capitals40]

oh he was just in his way haha

 

[JohnCarlsaurus]

I noticed some the most vocal Canes fans (including him) were nowhere to be found until they evened the series. Funny coincidence. The rest of them I'll say I at least respect.

 

[Capitals40]

Seriously I give the Canes lots of credit..Out played Caps in games 1, 3, 4..and definitely could argue game 2..unless Caps get it together this is over in 6..I think we will see a different Caps team in game 5..I think. Whatever happens I've been a Caps fan since circa 1980 so I'm good since we won the Cup

Agreed. I am in no way disrespecting what they have done. Most of us expected a tough series and we got it.

It's now your emotions that are talking. Crosscheck.... You know what cross checking is and how it feels in your lower back if you know what you are talking about. Cross checking gives you bruises, I'm pretty sure that Oshie didnt get bruise from that play. He was only very unfortunate.

ok we will just agree to disagree..Canes are kicking are butts right now is the only thing that matters..not sure Caps can turn this around
