Post-Game Talk: Flightless birds vs Eagles rematch @7 PM

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Made of glass.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

It was pretty obvious Rust was going to shoot it, Crosby wasn't skating parallel with him, he was clearly behind the play. I'm way past the point of giving this guy the benefit of the doubt. He sucks.

I'm the first guy to slam our goalies for their poor performance, but it would've been shocking if the Penguins didn't score on that play.

I'm not concerned about our goalies giving up logical goals like this one, I'm concerned when they get beaten with unscreened shots from the top of the circles or beyond.

 

[Neil Racki]

Backstroms been good on FOs lately

That's good, because no one else can win them

 

[Capsman]

Trying to remember the last time we won with these blue uniforms. Think it’s been several games.

Made of glass.

Damn. No bueno

 

[895]

We know from shootouts that goalies should save breakaways at about a 70% clip.

I feel like our two goalies are significantly worse than that.

 

[Calicaps]

to read these boards you’d think there was a worldwide epidemic of grown men soiling themselves and their mattresses. it’s just the weirdest expression.

Nothing shocking in saving a breakaway shot. Even if Crosby converted on a followup it wouldn't look that bad but you have to make a save on an initial shot from a very ordinary shooter coming at you from a sharp angle. I'm doubling down. Samsonov sucks.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Face into the boards thats not fun

I soil myself in my pants like normal caps fan... thank you

We'll agree to disagree but Rust isn't a scrub and a player of his caliber with that time and from that distance will frequently score. His point and goal production is on par with Oshie, it's not like we got scored on by Sceviour or something.

Let's see what Samsonov does the rest of the way

 

[Melkor]

You can clearly see how that early goal affected the team. They're out of sorts

Dude I just spit my beer out though my nose with that. You win man you the MVP.

Anyone else find themselves unable to watch Caps hockey on Verizon FIOS? Broadcast has been garbled and pixelated past several weeks. Verizon tech support network tests all come back clear.

 

[Capsman]

Orlov is just playing so well.

 

[g00n]

We do not look like the efficient team that dominated the Islanders

Would’ve been nice for him to save it but that’s a hard first shot to face after having no action to start the game.

 

[SpinningEdge]

Backstroms been good on FOs lately

He also has like 4th lowest ice time of all players on caps first period.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

More of the same against this Pens team. Pretty evenly played they are just capitalizing on their chances a tiny bit more and that’s the difference

 

[Calicaps]

early goal against and an injury. not a great recipe for efficiency.

 

[Langway]

Wrecked by PIT's forecheck mostly. It's dictating the tempo and they haven't been able to tighten up.

Orlov & Sprong have been good but they need more from the top six as a whole. Moving Oshie down is an interesting decision.

 

[SpinningEdge]

And missing our top forward and defenseman on the team
