Post-Game Talk: Game #2 CAPITALS vs penguins @3PM

[Calicaps]

Whyyyy??

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Stephenson waited too long.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Kuznetsov recognizes that a good penalty kill can give your team momentum. Smart play from him.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Chiasson comes through. Not.

 

[Calicaps]

Trotz has these guys second-guessing every shot opportunity.

 

[peterthegreat12]

Apparently Ovi is the only one who got the memo to shoot high?

 

[maacoshark]

Well, that was definitely a penalty.

I'm not arguing that. He definitely stuck out his foot. Kuzy sure makes some bonehead plays at times

 

[Capsman]

Lol, another Trotz era odd man rush. Is it reasonable to question how much or how effectively it’s practiced?

 

[g00n]

We will dominate this game until the last two minutes and then you know what's going to happen next

 

[maacoshark]

Based on the fact that he had surgery like a week ago I highly doubt that we'll see him in the playoffs, MAYBE if we get to the finals.

He has been ruled out of this series.

 

[RandyHolt]

The rare breakaway drop pass.

 

[Alex K]

I don't understand who is on pp

 

[OVrocks]

LMAO, why oh why does Chiasson get a jersey? He either completely misses the net or shoots right at the goalie chest EVERY SINGLE TIME.

 

[Calicaps]

Good kill. Moar goals please and from other lines...

 

[SashaSemin28]

Pierre is such an insufferable tit

 

[Brian23]

Man, these Penguins are even worse the last year. If they didn't have the devls luck if question how they've won two cups in a row and are fighting for a third .

 

[ovikovy817]

Clear offside

 

[RandyHolt]

Horn owes Murray dinner of all people and places to pass to

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Kempny seems to have a good, hard, accurate shot. Since it doesn't seem to be happening much now, I hope that next year, teammates can better figure out how to take advantage of deflection and rebound opportunities.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I wonder if OV works specifically on speed skating. Looks to me like he has a very inefficient stride. Worked for him in his younger years but I wonder if it’s possible to change it.

He's 240 lbs. He's the fastest skater I've ever seen at this size. Takes a ton of power to get moving at this size. You can't expect him to glide around the ice like Kuznetsov does.

 

[Capsman]

LMAO, why oh why does Chiasson get a jersey? He either completely misses the net or shoots right at the goalie chest EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Because he makes Barry comfortable.

They are missing their second best player, another generational center. Something to consider.

 

[maacoshark]

Stephenson waited too long.

I think he should have shot it. That's how we have scored all our goals in this series.

 

[Sam Spade]

LMAO, why oh why does Chiasson get a jersey? He either completely misses the net or shoots right at the goalie chest EVERY SINGLE TIME.

If he or Connelly scored or assisted on even half the chances they get the Caps would be undefeated so far in the playoffs.

Clear offside

This is why coach’s challenge needs to exist. It’s insane that wasn’t instantly whistled

Refs are letting Pens get away with almost mauling on Caps odd man breaks.
