Oof, 3 on 3 is so brutal for the goalies. Happy we got the point, gladly take it against a team like Colorado. They're a damn good team.

Wasn't OEL, that was all Keller. OEL had the other guy at the net.
That one is on Keller, OEL had to cover rantenan

****.....they got a point, and kept up with one of the best.
Keller just let him walk in, but them's the breaks in 3-on-3 OT.
Great return for Raanta.

Kessel still has wheels. The makeup speed to keep that last rush from becoming a breakaway was impressive.

No.
In a 2v1, once Keller is beat, OEL needs to rotate to the man that has a clear path to the net. It's on him at that point. He can play the body or the pass but he cannot just let a skater come in alone on Raanta 5 feet out.

Raanta looked real f***ing good. Made some huge saves in close at key moments. Question is how long can he stay healthy for?

3 on 3 is a crap shoot. I just can't seem to get too angry or upset in an overtime or shoot out loss.
Right. There are two f*** ups on the play. But forwards get beat all the time by other forwards, D need to know when to rotate. OEL didn't rotate.

Meh, we got a point with a pretty sure-fire playoff team in Colorado. Held a playoff-caliber Boston team to 1 goal. The only weird game is the Anaheim game that was based off of a bad pinch that led to the 1st goal.
I feel like we are in good shape overall. Coming back to tie from being down 2-0 is a big confidence booster and momentum piece for the road games.

As Barkosky moves towards the net, a passing lane opens up to the middle, so OEL had to check and make sure Rantenan wasn't drifting back into the slot.
We don't have a bad contract worth worrying about. If some of our guys don't suit your style then I guess that'll be hard to watch. I'm enjoying it.I dislike a handful of guys on this team. Guys signed to term too

Hard to be upset at losing 3 on 3 to Colorado. We send out the likes of Hinostroza, Dvo and Oesterle. They send out Rantanen, MacKinnon and Makar 
This shit is already getting old. We have been the better team for four games and we are 1 and f***en 3. I'd rather get shit on and win than look good and lose.
It's okay to leave a man completely uncovered if it means stopping another guy being uncovered. You get a chance at a defensive stop, rather than just sitting there and watching an NHL level shooter dunk on your goalie.
He didn't see him uncovered until he was in a shooting position. he took a peek at rantenan, the most dangerous player on the ice, and in that time Keller had completely released pressure on him and he walked to the net

As a Caps guy (Roadrunners/Yotes 2nd), the one thing that you can't do is let Burakovsky crank up that wrist shot. It takes him a month and a half to release it, but if he does, it's deadly.
On the plus side, the RR's romped 8-2 tonight with a Lane Pederson hatty.
