Post-Game Talk: GM 3 Caps vs Canes

[HandsomeTom43]

Why did Ovi and Svechnikov fight for anyways? I missed it due to school functions. I agree, the two days off is great because they have some momentum and it will kill it a little bit, we come out and take game 4, and we're taking game 5. I don't think anyone called sweep, but getting outshot 4:1 in any game is concerning. I'm not panicking yet, but if we lose Thursday, may need to sound the sirens.

Rod the Bod enters the locker room next game:

"Good news guys, we're wearing the red jerseys tonight, and look,

"





Svech:

 

[troyerlaw]

Oh **** off Rod. Ovi’s not a fighter. He didn’t set out to have that happen.

Exactly. People are acting like Ovie is a practiced assassin. He himself has little experience with fighting and was Probably as surprised as everyone else when he landed a KO punch.

Do both guys need to drop the gloves at the exact same instant, Rod?

And didn’t the kid actually throw the first punch once they started grappling?

The whole thing sucked, and I don’t think Ovie was particularly excited about how it turned out either. More importantly, I hope to hell we straighten out our game and show up Thursday ready to compete like defending champions. That would be swell.

 

[Portable Mink]

that was f***ing horrible.
stopped skating after the fight.
if you skate hard they cant just surround and pressure you.

hope thats out of the system. spewing it happened on my bday. ugh.

 

[txpd]

Apparently regular season isn't a credible "great team" benchmark anymore.

Nor is a one game sample size.

 

[txpd]

Ov of the one career scrap. Yea.

 

[troyerlaw]

What can you say? Canes kicked our ass. Do better next time

 

[Firsov99]

Nor is a one game sample size.

Indeed. Let's see how the Caps respond in game 4.

 

[TRASHCAT]

Might not even be the biggest blow out of the night

 

[txpd]

Orlov - Carlson is bad pairing. It doesn’t play to either guy’s strengths. It may be the only solution but I think it only serves to undermine the one reliable pairing they have right now.

Yea, 9 74 is a terrible idea. That forces Carlson on the ice for every important shift. No.

 

[Chokingdogs]

Was on a two hour delay watching this.

WTF did I just see?!

A whole series worth of f*** ups, brain farts, lax play, stupid decisions....all rolled into 60 minutes?

Holy shit was that terribad.

 

[txpd]

I think its funny also that the Canes top 6 had done bumpkus in the first 2 games and the defense sucks. Its typical for this board to go off the ledge at the sight of a lost game but its always interesting to see it happen. It was a weird night. I looked up and saw the kind layed out and Ov going to the box the the bench tapping sticks and I went....huh??? What the.....I barely watched it. I got home. Perspective. I was alive and at home with a couple ribeyes on the grill.

Carolina got a game but is that kid gonna play anymore? What happened to Ferland?

Ferland tried to hit Willy and took the impact right in the chest. Broken rib maybe?

 

[AussieCapsFan]

I know I was shocked and felt awful for the kid, I have to believe ovie felt really bad too.

That kid had 62 penalty minutes in his rookie season. By old times standards that's not much, but by today's it's enough for him to be top 50 in the league.
I don't feel bad for him at all. This isn't some Lady Byng candidate whose gloves accidentally fell off. I don't even like fighting, but the kid was a willing participant and those are the consequences.

 

[AussieCapsFan]

Wah

Brindamour was one of my fav players back in the day, but now he can f*** right off.

 

[TRASHCAT]

Baby's first fight should probably not be Ovechkin

 

[Chokingdogs]

Baby's first fight should probably not be Ovechkin

Why? Alex isn’t a fighter, was a calculated gamble on the kids part, a gamble that lost. Lost for him, not his team.

 

[Chokingdogs]

Brindamour was one of my fav players back in the day, but now he can **** right off.

What do you expect the coach to say? Brindy played 20 years, part of that in the heyday of fighting, he knows the drill.

He knows the kid bit off more than he could chew, but he isn’t going to air that out to the world.

Oh come on. Sure he didn't have to say Svech is a dumbass, but "Ovie's gave came off way before"? That's weak and laughable.

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

Welp, I'm going to the grocery store, you guys need anything?

 

[Bananas]

Rierden needs to earn his paycheck over the next few days.

And back to the series thread.
