Post-Game Talk: Game 12 : Flyers @ Caps : 12pm ET

[SherVaughn30]

Much better defensive detail so far.

 

[Melkor]

Vanecek already looks shaky

How? He's not having much of a job to do so far..

 

[pman25]

Why did they talk up the reverse retros so much this off-season and now we have to see them wear these jerseys which seemingly came out of nowhere?

 

[ovikovy817]

East division has 0 teams under .500

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Woe Jensen nice save

 

[tenken00]

Jensen is back from the dead! What a miracle Sunday!

 

[marcel snapshot]

Maybe we get Good Jensen today

 

[Man Machine]

Jensen is somewhat underrated on these boards.

 

[Calicaps]

He got COVID. Apparantly of the symptomatic variety. It can been a long recovery if he had some legit respiratory illness at all.

How do you know this?

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

The slingshot worked HAHAHAH

 

[tenken00]

Great 8!!

[Coldplay619]

OVIIII

 

[Calicaps]

I looked. The teams that had games postponed had 5 or 6 players on the covid list. The Caps have 3. The injuries dont count

Don't the Caps have 2?

My captain!

 

[Carlzner]

This depleted roster reminds me of the teams from like 2012-2015 where Troy f***ing Brouwer was one of our go to forwards

Jensen has been great in the playoffs for us. He has what it takes to be good. He is ALL OVER the ice today.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Dont be hurt Ovie

Russian Machine can’t break here

 

[Calicaps]

I am serious. They've been riding some pretty ridiculous percentages and even still are only 7-5, plus they have some injuries/absences of their own.

Not saying I'll be shocked if the Capitals lose, just saying if I were a betting man I'd pick the Capitals.

It's the same reason why I expect Pittsburgh will rebound and likely be a good team down the stretch: they've been incredibly unlucky this season and their goaltending numbers will certainly improve.

This is everything wrong with fancy stats in one post. The numbers "shouldn't" be yielding the actual on-ice results, therefore the team is bad in spite of real-world outcomes.

 

[Melkor]

Eddie as always: lOOk At thIs lIttle interference by Backstrom on the goal!!!

Such a bitch..

Dude scored one playoff goal for us. ONE

 

[tenken00]

Wow ovie to wilson

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

[Empty Goal Net]
