Post-Game Talk: G9: Not-Charas @ The Fighting Charas | 1/30/21 | 7p ET

[Capsman]

On a completely different note, I would like Rob Carlin back. It’s nothing against the new host but his chemistry with Alan May was perfect.

Yeah Carlin was great. Alexa is a little more mechanical in her approach, but she’s definitely easy on the eyes.

 

[pman25]

We are consistently on the short end of PPs, even in games when we carried more of the play. I would want an explanation if I’m the Caps. What does the ref think, that Hathaway lost his edge the exact moment the Bruin’s stick went back into his skate?

I’d like to see PPs even out as well. Lavi needs to chew out the refs some here and there. That does work. But also we did not carry play tonight, Bruins caved us in throughout

New guy stinks.

 

[txpd]

lucky win safed by the captain

big - for laviolete refusing to ice the top line the last minutes... 13 min toi for #8... is this another oeates/hunter ? caps managment cant be really patient with their roster at this time and have to follow this guy closely. if that is his patern now... he can go back to where he came from. i fear that lavi is a Pejorative Slur.

Backstrom is the top line. Ov hadnt skated in more than a week. 13 mins was plenty. Particularly given they had a lead all that time.

 

[tenken00]

Yeah I'm starting to get used to Alexa now.

Bring back Carlin as an analyst replacement to Ashooh.

New guy is cheap. Of course he stinks. I feel bad for Carlin

 

[txpd]

Bring back Carlin as an analyst replacement to Ashoosh.

Let the Caps lose one in regulation first. Ok?

 

[tenken00]

True. True.

Hagelin played 18:42. Only Wilson and Dowd played more. Somebody likes him

His time is up because we are missing a bunch of players and Ovechkin just got back from not skating for a week +. He was averaging ~12 minutes before the Russians weren’t able to play.

He has 1A in 8 games. He’s overpaid.

 

[troyerlaw]

Mike Gartner scored a lot of f***ing goals.

If he could have scored a couple timely ones in the playoffs, woulda been huge. We used to be SO short on scoring in 1980s postseasons. Like the ungodly so-called Easter Epic. What a painful memory

 

[4thTierSport]

You did it NHL, you win The abomination you call officiating makes the games unwatchable and I give up.

 

[BallardEra]

So guys, no Orlov and Kuzy tonight because they weren’t in game shape?

Sigh....I can still remember the beauty of him storming down RW, blazing wheels and huge slapper for gorgeous goals in the regular season and that crap would dry up regularly in the playoffs......soooooooo painful.

 

[tenken00]

Possibly with Orlov. We still haven't had any word of Kuzy leaving protocol. Wasn't with the team in morning skate while Orlov at least was.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

They said Orlov mentioned he wasn’t feeling great....

Those f***ing teams... Not so different from the early Ovie playoff years. Star power was checked to within an inch of its life, and no depth scoring to contribute and help loosen the coverage on the top 6. Ugh. And also the goaltending...

 

[Calicaps]

Sounded like he was winded/out of shape.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

right, physically not great...

 

[max21]

Our D depth is nice. Really didn’t think about Shultz or Orlov tonight. TVR steps up and scores a goal, it’s a good problem to have.

 

[txpd]

Just searched on Ashooh. He is a contributor. Sounds like he is a sports talk radio guy. On his website he doesnt even mention the Capitals. So......

 

[twabby]

it looks like Panik got credit for the third goal. Glad to see him get on the scoreboard. I think he’s been a good fill-in in the top 6.

 

[txpd]

Look at that again. Laviolette is doing something he likes. Dowd Hagelin and Hathaway have been minutes leaders for a while now. He played 6 mins more than Panik and 4 more than Vrana. Dowd played more than Oshie. I think this is a trend. Dowd's line was against Bergeron and the goal Marchand scored was after an icing when Lavy couldnt get the Dowd line out.

Too busy working on his beard

Just some cheap contract for hire it seems. Better update that resume Ashooh
