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

[TRASHCAT]

Should have fired Johnston before an easier home game

 

[Capsman]

That Beagle one a case in point. Should have passed the puck way earlier but true to our form we turn an odd man rush into a limited shot.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Who took a run at Backstrom there?

EDIT: Huh, it was the Caps wacking at Perron.

 

[Capsman]

And another one. You can't make this up. Do they ever work on odd man rushes?

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Great win, or does this one not count either?

Super impressed with Wilson tonight.

 

[Hivemind]

Ugly win, but ugly wins count. Move on. Get better next game. Give Holtby the Vezina/Hart.

 

[SpinningEdge]

Caps separating themselves a little bit in the standings.

This is a good thing. Holtby has been so good - but having some wiggle room to give him some rest as the seaon goes on will be a plus.

BTW, Caps are starting to be a bit more consistent in beating good teams. Good stuff.

 

[mad4comp]

Caps just turn the puck over... even on a PP... good job guys. Looks like the offense left Pittsburgh already.

Dude.

No jinxes please.

 

[Capitals40]

Dont think Holtby is too happy with the sloppy play in front of him

 

[hb12xchamps]

Now the Pens announcers complaining about the Beagle hit. Brought up Aaron Asham fighting him by saying, "Where's Asham when you need him?"

 

[TRASHCAT]

Super impressed with wilson tonight.

we lost the sog battle, were total frauds

 

[mad4comp]

And Oshie puts the cherry on top.

 

[kmart]

i dont understand why malkin got a penalty here, the guy had the puck and got hit...with the hip.

 

[Acallabeth]

Oshie for a 1st star, even above Holtby IMO

 

[Hivemind]

Man, Oshie was on point tonight.

 

[Capitals40]

Did u know Oshie knocked a guy out of the game?...lol thanks Pens announcers

 

[Hivemind]

i dont understand why malkin got a penalty here, the guy had the puck and got hit...with the hip.

Yeah, that was a favorable call.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

NBTW called Oshie's point streak.

 

[g00n]

2pts, lloid

 

[artilector]

Nice to see that Trotz finally took a chance and put 2 skilled guys on one of the bottom-6 lines. You can see how much the Caps benefit from an injection of quickness, such as what Galiev has added, even in limited time. And then Bura starts to look more alive, because he has somebody who might be able to make a play or a turnover. And in limited ice-time they don't get too exposed -- and get better development than being stuck with two grinders (each).

Would be great if the Caps evolve towards a speedier lineup, even if it means fewer "traditional" grinders.

 

[Langway]

Oshie coming up big against good teams lately.

 

[troyerlaw]

Actually, his skate reached out too, and got tangled with carlson's skates

 

[SpinningEdge]

Oshie for a 1st star, even above Holtby IMO

Disagree. Holtby stopped 40+

 

[Hivemind]

It's going to be a real shame when Lundqvist gets the Metropolitan division goalie spot over Holtby in the All-Star Game.
