Post-Game Talk: G7: Trotzs @ not-Rierdens | 1/26/2021 | 7:00p ET

Game three of four without the Covid Crew. Wilson skated yesterday at optional practice and is a game-time decision (edit: Wilson is out). Will post lines once they're available (edit: lines posted are from the pregame skate).

Edited to add lines. Also, Vanecek was in the starter's net so looks like he'll be starting again tonight.

Doesnt sound like dreaded groin! Hopefully it is not

 

[Marshall]

This is gonna be a grindy, chippy game - hope Wilson can play.

Can't wait for 20 minutes+ of HDH!

Pinho is out of the taxi squad. Replaced by Sgarbossa. Let's hope Eller will follow Pinho in the same exact direction.

Anybody figure out how the Caps will score tonight?
The Isles have given up 8 goals total... in 5 games, and 5 of those
8 were in one game against the Rangers(with Sorokin, not Varly in net).
You know, just wondering...

How can Sgarbossa go from Hershey’s training camp straight into the lineup without quarantining? What’s the the point of having a taxi squad then? He was exposed to Hershey’s roster and staff

Uh. What?

I've come to realize in the short time I have been on this site that you are not to be taken seriously when it comes to Eller.

Hopefully Lee is targeted for his late dirty hit that injured Backstrom in the playoffs.

Just Eller?

 

[tenken00]

That second line of Panik-Eller-Wilson sounds painful.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Looks like Vitek gets the net again. Wilson is a game time decision to play. Wonder if Carr takes his place if he isn’t able to go

Thanks HFB for the ignore button

They played hockey a long time ago that I honestly forgot that the Caps lost to the Isles in the 1st round. in the bubble.

I can't even remember of one single goal (for or against) in that series.
Even the goals scored by Ovi.
I would need to watch the highlights.

Islanders cant score either. 0-0 to the shootout

 

[marcel snapshot]

What I remember is that Anders Lee made the Caps his beatch for the entire series, and it was inexcusable

It’s all coming back to me now.....how dare you.....

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

3-2 Turtles...

 

[Eirikrautha]

3-2 Turtles...

Yup.

Wait, which team is "Turtles"? (Considering our last few third periods...)

 

[twabby]

Yeah don't have a good feeling about this game. A team that can't generate offense against a team that doesn't allow anything.

Maybe Vanacek steals a win but this game is going to be ugly.

So basically what I'm saying is 6-1 Caps.

I wonder what Zombie boy thinks? [/blast from the past]

Wilson said it was a very strange injury, but I read between the lines and figured out what it was. During the Sabres game, his giant balls rubbed against each other too much, creating sufficient heat as to start nuclear fusion, a small nuclear reactor between his legs, if you will. He just needed to air them out enough to cool off. He'll be fine, no Chernobyl situation here.
