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

[notDkristich]

I cant stream games with Fios anymore its the cable box or blacked out for me now

Cable box and FIOS stream are the same. Verizon says it’s the sports broadcaster. Wish NBCSWA had actual tech support.

fix your $*%t

Can't wait for another 1-0 loss we blame the goaltender on

 

[artilector]

Had no feeling for the last one which usually means a close loss.

For this one I'm feeling a bloody battle that ends in a W.

It does have that Garnet Hathaway feel to it

Hathaway indeed, lol.

Mantha needs to shoot more.

 

[artilector]

Mantha needs to shoot more.

Caps have been unable to establish any kind of possession to get decent shots off.

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

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.

Shootouts are not comparable to breakaways. Both shooter and goalie play it differently.

In a shootout the shooter must score, he’s the only option, and he’s the only player on the ice. As a goalie that’s much easier to play than a breakaway. As a goalie you can play further out, you can eliminate angles because you don’t need to worry about rebounds, you don’t need to survey the ice for passing options or trailing players, etc.


They really couldn’t be more different

 

[artilector]

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.

It's like it's your first time interacting with sports fans.

I’ve always thought WTF, just never said anything before.

 

[artilector]

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.

I don't think Oshie with Eller is productive, I don't remember it working before. 3rd line relies on covering a lot of ice, Oshie doesn't help with that -- he has better synergy with Backstrom, because they both play a similar style in that they rely on smarts and skill to compensate for lack of speed.

I don't mind the shuffling though, you gotta try some different looks at least.

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

Vrana scored another highlight reel goal lol

[Alexander the Gr8]

Dumb play by Orlov leading to that goal. Shin pad slap shot FTW

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

This goaltending isn’t going to win them a cup

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Oh no, we suck again.
