Post-Game Talk: Game 5: Capitals VS Islanders

[CapitalsCupReality]

Then what were you attempting to say?

the confused, not even pissed look he had on the bench as the game wound down and they showed him staring up at the clock. Not a hint of disappointment.

 

[hockeykicker]

honestly Im like whatever, i personally dont feel like it was a legitimate playoffs but oh well

 

[Capsman]

Please get rid of Gudas and Kovalchuk. Dissappointed by Wilson in this series as well. He was so soft compare to a regular Willie we know.

Wilson is just not a very good possession guy. Gets pucks taken from him regularly. I didn’t think lack of physicality was his biggest issue.

Kovukchuk was truly abysmal. What’s concerning is that he was much better with Montreal.

I think there is a lot of damning evidence against Reirden, both in terms of guys regressing and guys improving on other teams.

Why's Carlin gone?

NBC has been cutting everyone because of COVID. They had pretty large layoffs in the last month.

Concussion face

Thanks - hey it's our coach!

I've been laughing since he posted that. I just can't stop laughing.

at the end of a day, its still just a hockey game. stay safe folks, see ya all in the offseason

I could get that if you were Pitt and were basically a lock for the playoffs and then screwed out of them in a 5 game series with virtually no build. Harder pill to swallow in our sense.

Oh well - typically these nights were devastating in the past. The cup win totally changed that for me.

Have a good rest of the summer. Hopefully they can make some key changes to atleast give Ovechkin one or two more chances before the window is completely closed

They have to. They absolutely can go deep with this core. They have to try to replace the coach, but please someone with vision. Someone knows what his system is and what personnel he needs. Or who knows what our strength and how to maximize on that. TR cost us at least a cup imho.

oh i agree, im not excusing their play. they played horrible.

im just saying it just doesnt feel as bad as it would have been with the crowds and everything

 

[IafrateOvie34]

He was the hero of the 2018 run. He'll always be remembered for that.

I still remember my reaction to the "The Save". Series changing moment and just crazy good.

 

[Corby78]

Shit.

yeah the podcast is garbage now.

 

[RaindanceMaggie]

At the end of the Day only 3 players scored in a 5 game series. OV, Kuznetsov & Oshie.....that's not going to cut it. Coaching aside our bottom 6 isn't effective anymore and is the biggest liability of our team.

Good old times. At least we have something to cherish.

 

[Monsterrain]

Damnit ted dont be cheap and do the right thing. You saw what happened when you went cheap with this series.

Lavi has a cup, but Gallant has the hungry desire to win a cup and imho would fit best. I believe he'll let the veterans play and keep them interested. I also think he'll be beneficial to the younger players coming up and further progressing Wilson.

 

[RandyHolt]

Carlin is a good guy. I used to haze him for being sober during games. He would say he is so thirsty.

See you in September folks!

september?

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

BMac has his work cut out for him if we want to return to contending for a cup. I hope this performance was strictly due to poor coaching because if not then our window may be closed.

 

[RandyHolt]

september?

Probably

 

[hockeykicker]

Probably

whats in september? free agency is in october and season starts in december haha

I also like Gallant. His team go deep in the playoffs. Though Lavi's usually too. Any of them better than Todd or any unexperienced coach.

 

[Corby78]

We got outscores 17-8 by the Islanders. This after struggling against Carolina, with the same core that won a cup. Swapping around bottom 6 does not do that, it’s TR.

 

[tenken00]

Wait when is the draft?

 

[shtorm2005]

the effort was a night and day different from last game. Impossible transformation
