Post-Game Talk: Gilligan's Isles @ Capitals - 1:08pm EST 2019

Holtby's stats are really good if you ignore his worst 10 games guys.

lol what are they if you ignore his best 10 games?

Holtby's stats are really good if you ignore his worst 10 games guys.

If you look at his best 3 games i think he has to be in a conversation for Hart

 

[txpd]

Isles board having fits. Kuzy does the bird celly and then Wilson scores. A double shot of in your face

Square to the guy at the point? What are you even talking about? He was never in position to make a save. Last time I checked the replay he was dancing salsa in the crease while the puck was getting in. The turnover didn't lead to a breakaway or 2 on 1. It was a basic weak wrist shot.

I have no idea how to respond to something this off base. You’re acting like there was no one in his crease or he wasn’t screened on a deflection.

Nonsense dude. You can be a fan of a player and critique him. Holtby has been struggling for awhile now.

There is a difference between a critique and misrepresenting what is going on.

 

[tenken00]

At least Connor McMichael just score for Canada

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

You guys Holtby is a 5 time all star goalie lol

 

[AtNightWeFly]

I'm actually shocked Todd is starting Holtby after what happened last game, and the one before.

It scares me for the playoffs.

Sure you don't. It's so obvious the guy's career is slowly rolling down the hill, I don't even blame you. I wouldn't have anything to say either.

Glad the kuzy goal woke them up a bit, also hope it gets kuzy really going. Been a while since the kuzy that can take a game over showed up. Still too many penalties and still too many weak goals by holtby. The first goal was a deflection, the second he just missed with his glove. Should be 2-1 right now

Keep deflecting.

holtby hasn’t been great, but you have to be fair, the first goal was a screen and deflection. Looking at the replay it looked like we bumped him too coming across the crease as well.

Seriously, Holtby’s actions are at worst the 4th worst issue any Caps had leading up to that goal.

Acting like I am defending his career or something when I’m just calling you out on a ridiculous take of what actually happened.

You mean that Reirden might let Holtby play in the playoffs? Or that Reirden might ditch a goalie after a bad game? Nothing to be scared of here

 

[txpd]

I just read a full page of Holtby slamming. Whats the deal? Not a single insult thrown toward Jensen. He is feeling left out

 

[StrikingDistance]

I saw more egregious gaffs from Jensen than Holtby in that period.

Jensen just tries to do too much.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Bird man sighting

I meant if Holtby plays like he did last year will he keep him in or actually pull him? He seems afraid to hurt his feelings or something.

 

[Corby78]

Good kuzy is here today

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Russian on Russian crime

 

[twabby]

Kuzy with solid 2 way play. Good to see

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

This is why you have to ignore a lot of the bad from Kuzy. Game changer.....just has to be on when it counts.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

For real what type of rental player could we get for Holtby?

 

[tenken00]

Above all else, the Caps have been straight dominating the Isles after that sleepy start.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Kuzy should shave more often lol

 

[Corby78]

So I was going to mention yesterday Varlamov as an option next year as 1B. ... glad I didn’t type that so nobody knows....
