[Langway]

Charlie LindWIN.

 

[Neil Racki]

Heyyyy what a nice Saturday afternoon

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Nice to see a Win when I actullay get the game on TV

 

[trick9]

Comeback win against Jonathan Quick? Is this 2012?

All in all nice win. Would be pretty funny to take the season series against the New York Paper Rangers.

 

[McVechkin]

Gutty win. I take back some of my 1st period sass

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Good win.

 

[McVechkin]

Is chuck a really good backup that should never be a #1? Or can he handle the big load?

 

[Acallabeth]

Not a pretty game, but good to win!

 

[Midnight Judges]

Is chuck a really good backup that should never be a #1? Or can he handle the big load?

I mean dude how is he not the #1 at this point?

 

[max21]

Guess I’ll get drunk today

 

[DWGie26]

2 point afternoon. I’ll take it. The games we win, it seems we shouldn’t win. But I’ll damn sure take it.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Guess I’ll get drunk today

Same. Cheers bud.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Great win today! Just nervous to play them again tomorrow on the road with Kuemper in net.

Hopefully we get Ovi back

 

[HTFN]

Same. Cheers bud.

Wooooo

this is about to become a party thread, I took a snow day so I'm sliding into the bag already

 

[DWGie26]

yeah, had a good buzz for a bit. Haven’t started drinking yet though.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I know he should retire but damn this is a different team with Oshie. He’s such a smart, savvy player. And even Kuzy looked engaged today.

To be honest that’s one more point than I thought they’d get this whole weekend. If they can steal a point tomorrow that’s a really solid weekend.

 

[McVechkin]

I mean dude how is he not the #1 at this point?

I think this league has seen plenty of really good backups that show diminishing returns when given more of a role. Not saying that would be the case with him…. Just legit asking/convo starting.

 

[DWGie26]

If OV plays tomorrow it will be interesting to see the lines. Lapierre will obviously come out. But lines were all jumbled today.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I doubt Ovie plays tomorrow. Do we know what wrong with him? He doesnt miss many games.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Nice bounce back game for a few guys today like Mantha, Jensen, Kuzy, McMike.

 

[Bananas]

Every time you think the overall talent will get the tank rumbling, they play with grit and gut out another big win. There’s a little pre-Ovie Caps vibe to this team. Blue collar hockey. If we could find a Bondra, who knows?

 

[Marshall]

That was unexpected.

 

[HTFN]

Nice bounce back game for a few guys today like Mantha, Jensen, Kuzy, McMike.

That's...

Is this the most complete team game of the whole season? I see fewer players in the negatives (and the traditionally expected ones, and not Kuznetsov and any other random top 6 player) than usual...

If the worst players to get "cratered" are the 4th line and it's like... 3 tiers less than when the big guys suck... that looks like what might be their best team win

Yeah sorry I didn't mean to be flippant.

My vote is Lindgren has to be the #1. The results and stats are just too far apart for Kuemper.

 

[HandsomeTom43]

This team is both frustrating and fun to watch. The expectations aren’t there but every win seems like such an accomplishment. This team gets me excited for the future with Carbs.
