Post-Game Talk: Fri. Oct. 4th, 2019: The Battle of the Russian goalies

Fehervary will be everything you want on the Carlson's left.

3rd line is good at getting the puck into the offensive zone, but every chance they generate comes from either Hagelin or Stephenson, so I don't expect that line to score a goal until sometime around 2034.

18 can win some face offs at least

He does just about everything you want aside of actually managing to put the puck in the net.

Last time Holtby was seriously challenged, we won a Cup

I mean yes, but also it's maybe a bit revisionist to paint that as him elevating his game due to competition. He had several instances that year that he looked like trash while Grubi was rolling.

he is fast too and excellent at PK

Maaco is that you?

But he came back playing great after being benched for the playoffs. Motivated

Ovy seems invisible tonight, hopefully Caps have a great team.

 

[Sam Spade]

TJ Oshie is insane. He has to be one of the most fearless hockey players I have ever watched.

 

[tenken00]

We are taking it to them even though they are the ones trailing at the end of the game

Defense is priority

 

[Calicaps]

Defense is priority

Agree, so that's a yes?

 

[Hivemind]

Really good defensive effort tonight, but would like to see more even strength offense from players other than the first line and Vrana.

Wait until Eller is back in his usual spot and I think you will.

No. not at all

 

[Hivemind]

That shift made me want to see what Vrana would look like on the PK

The chick sitting behind the Caps bench probably paid $100 for those awful “jeans”

Buckle your seat belts folks. This is going to be a fun season. Sammie almost had his first shutout.

 

[HSHS]

Big win!

 

[895]

So Gudas officially ruins a shutout. That's more than dinner. That's 10.

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

I don't think motivation in the playoffs was ever his issue. I also don't think there is much evidence to support that Hotly needed motivation for the playoffs, his stats there have always out shined his regular season numbers.

 

[Pomee]

WIN!
2 GAMES IN ROW!
HAPPY!

 

[Sam Spade]

Take those points boys!

Way to go Samsonov!!!! Get that Nationals helmet kid!!!
