Post-Game Talk: Hockey Game 1 of 10 - 7:00ish ET

5min in, isles like expected shot from every angle and forcheck... they wont do anything else the rest of the game. with us at least trotz allowed some passing plays. but yeah... a lot of teams play this kind of hockey especially in playoffs now, i dont understand how some caps fans prefer isles to the rangers

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Mantha was behind the D for the breakaway if we picked our heads up

 

[g00n]

Oshie with some dunderheaded moves early. Sure sign he's about to score

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

new guy is 17? cant be worst then our last 17

 

[DWGie26]

Mantha making history!

 

[DWGie26]

Good work by Sammy there!

 

[g00n]

Sammy under siege

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Sammy says no to that rebound. VV gets scored on that one

 

[Peeri]

Sammy is dialed in, big time

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Sammy could use some help.

 

[Calicaps]

12 shots against in 11 minutes.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

lets go PP

 

[SpinningEdge]

Obviously Islanders just trying to get pucks on net and trying to get a lead and turtle us.

Scoring first on this pp would be huge. Come on caps

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Kuz looking fast today

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

damn Ovie almost

 

[mad4comp]

Carlson is straight trash.... I've never seen a a more lackadaisical hockey player in my life.

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Man on man defense against Barzal. Good luck with that.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Man on man defense against Barzal. Good luck with that.

and Charas line ontop of that

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Apparently Jensen has left the bench.

 

[kmart]

caps just fumble the puck in the own zone way to often, the isles dont even have high pressure, they wait for the caps to turn it over...

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Still no Caps tickets available to the public for the 27th. I assume season ticket holders get first dibs .. as it should be.

Nothing on the re-sell market either ... have they even gotten tickets out yet?

Late to the game, but as noted, per Caps' rules, the STH has to be in the group of game-goers, tix cannot be transferred, and everyone who's part of the "pod" has to be present upon admission. Pods are 2 or 4 seats together. From what I saw, the bench side of the arena had seats available in the Club (200s) and upper (400s) levels, and lower bowl (100s) were on the penalty box side. Since cameras are on the penalty box side, they won't normally catch any fans in seats unless it's by design. I think the capacity allowed by DC government is 10%, which means ~1800 seats available. I expect there may be a few STHers who list tix on craigslist (does that still happen?) or a similar site, with the requirement that the purchaser meet at the arena and accompany the STHer into the game.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

How does Ovie not draw that trip

 

[mad4comp]

We literally have to stand two guys at/behind the blue line on offense because we're so slow... rofl...

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Stud Sammy

 

[crab]

So much interference

 

[g00n]

Liking the aggressive Sammy. May noting him challenging more. Good
