Post-Game Talk: [GDT] Primary city vs equatic flightless birds

[Carlzner]

Apparently Crosby looked better than he has all season tonight.

Looked pretty pedestrian to me. Guess the original statement still stands though.

 

[bur and 666 others]

Again we were handed an embarrassing win

 

[Raikkonen]

Oshie's gpg pace is better now.

Beagle seems to be not as overpriced now.

Holtby... scary.

 

[PB12]

We might not need another forward to fill Oshie's spot.

 

[Raikkonen]

Malkin was the best Pens player hands down.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Crosby and Kessel were invisible tonight.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

So to sum this up...Caps basically scored 5 goals right?

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Ovechkin-esque game from Oshie.

Holtby-esque game from Holtby.

 

[Raikkonen]

great win, or does this one not count either?

Super impressed with wilson tonight.

17:56 toi?!

 

[PuckBuddy]

Another slightly-fishy-smelling win.

Watched that on the Pens feed and relished every second of Bob Errey explaining how every Capitals goal was unfair, hit was dirty, save was lucky et cetera.

 

[txpd]

Thank God that is over. If I had to hear Errey keep going on about how dirty the Caps were, I was going to hit mute. Oshie all night long for trucking Bennett. Then he said Beagle slew footed Crosby. Then Steigy says, "Where's Aaron Asham when you need him?"

classy guys.

That sounds about right. Plus every time Crosby or Malkin score a routine goal it's an amazing generational event you'll tell your grandkids about, and nobody else in the world can make that play.

I honestly have watched the Oshie hit on Bennett hit like 10 times now. I have no clue what the **** Steigy is complaining about other than the fact that he was injured. He can't even call it boarding though he desperately wants to.

 

[illpucks]

Ovechkin was heavily guarded and Backstrom used the Oshie option the whole night.

Should pair Kuznetsov and Ovechkin, if he is not gonna be used on the top line.

It's nice that he scares teams into mistakes. But he should have more of a use than that.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

 

[txpd]

I'd try that 65-21-49 line more..

particularly after Bennett went out the pens didn't skate 4 lines. besides every time 65 and 49 stepped on the ice malkin came on. not a good idea.

 

[hockeykicker]

But this caps team is embarrassing even if they win i thought? Can't beat any good teams i heard. Another 2 points

 

[Dream Big]

Oshie has my complete attention. I'm enjoying the nuances of his game.

To be fair, this game doesn't disprove that theory.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Moving Kuzy with Ovie again might help jump start Ovie. He just seems so meh this year. Only difference is that the team overall is doing well and winning games

Errey was whining about the distance from the boards. He also said that Backstrom pushed the d into Fleury on the Oshie wrap around and that it should be a coach's challenge. til they showed the replay which showed there was no contact with the goalie in the blue paint.

they are blind homers. it disturbs me that NHL net decided to use the ROOT crew rather than Joe B. They must have been hoping for a big Pittsburgh game.

Pens are a good team?

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

To be fair, this game doesn't disprove that theory.

Agreed. Pens are the epitome of a paper tiger. Overrated forward group, no depth on the blue line, and a very good goalie.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

I don't know what you guys are talking about. I muted those fools a long time ago and it was glorious.

 

[hockeykicker]

So then who is a good team? Everyone they beat is bad then?
